God vs beast

[kjaslkdjiehdfba]

The arena, stood constructed in the sky, floating on a mystical Island. The ground was black sand, made from a thousand charred corpses. Soon how ever it would be stained red with the blood of heroes, gods among mortal men. But a single man, Itazuki stood alone in the center of this mile size battle plain. Was he ready to live or die, no. He was ready to fight and only one man put deep pressure in the workings of his mind. The thought of Teran drew him close to death, but closer to insanity. Now was his time for redemption. Today was a day for death. Itazuki could only smile, confident in his power, he gripped his katana, the red eye staring into the soul of Itazuki.

"Teran!!!!!!!" He shouted, issuing war against one man, among a god.

The earth thundered at the world Teran. As the sky quivered at the thought, it slowly morphed to a black color, the sun disappearing in fear of the man. The only light was the thunder that roared fiercely, and retreated back into nothingness. With one flash, a black outline of a man with long black wings was there. As the man touched the earth, the sky lit up in flames, a large white orb appearing above the sky, created by the god.

It gave light, shining brightly upon Teran, who was standing with his hands in his pockets. The wings on his back turned to dust, and flew away in the savage wind. The aureole that surrounded his head slowly covered the rest of his body; an air of black and white which promised conclusion. As the man stepped forward, the palpitation of the rocks beneath his feet turned into a steady tremble. With long grey hair falling over his eyes, only carmine and superbia illuminated through the hoar.

Stepping through his arena, the sand beneath his feet sunk as he stepped. Sweeping his hand, a wall of black was sent forward at the man ahead, wide enough to fill both sides of the island. He kept pushing it, as to have a strength match against the man. It was solid, almost tangible as it moved and pulsed with life. Teran kept his arm extended, to push Itazuki off the island. The wall collected sand as it quickly advanced forward, taller than a tower. The god chuckled lightly, his phonation ghastly like a devil.

A fluid excess of thought corrupted Itazuki's malleable brain, it caused his arms to lift and hold a sturdy position. He saw Teran project a wall. A simple almost demeaning display of his own strength. The Wall touched Itazuki's palms suddenly jerking him back, causing him to slide slowly. Itazuki already felt connected to Teran through this brief match of masculinity. But Itazuki was not confined by this construct of life, his body slid, and he eased himself on pushing back against Teran. He let himself go, first his right foot slipped of the Island, sand billowed up in a faint cloud. Then as the wall of black kept forcing him back till finnaly Itazuki gave way and fell of the Island.

He actually dove back, relieving himself of the minor tension, his eyes closed. He shot his arm out and clenched a bundle of roots that hanged precariously from the bottom of the Island. His body swung briefly till Itazuki stabilized himself with his lean tight fitted muscles. Contractions happened naturally, then while holding on with just his left arm he lowered himself slowly. He gazed down and saw the dull brown of earth, and the tiny flickers of dots that could have been people or anything living.

Itazuki reached back and pulled out his katana, the red eye kept a steady glare on Itazuki and then it thought.What are you gonna do? Itazuki uttered, "Leave me alone, ok...I got this." His arm felt no fatigue by holding this awkward position but the roots began to tear slightly, giving more distance from Itazuki and the bottom of the Island.

Itazuki pointed the katana, focusing immensely. Dark matter gathered and condensed to a black ball, but white spiraled in the middle. The white was just another component of this sophisticated concoction of destruction. Without warning the small ball fractured, releasing a catastrophic beam of Dark matter through the Island. The beam was aimed to where Teran's last position was known, however it was not solely based on Teran. This beam was meant to obliterate the southern half of the Island that Teran resided on. The ground, would begin to shift violently like an earthquake but then Dark matter would seep about in a thick fog, tearing away microscopically every substance that was on the southern half of the Island, followed by a forty foot sized blast of dark matter.

Itazuki felt the sting of dark matter burrow in his hand, he clenched and squinted a bit, but he gathered his strength and climbed back on the northern half and saw the southern half of the Island be reduced to shards. He wondered if Teran was still alive. He exhaled softly, feeling everything shift in his body. A red blotch formed on his hand, holding the Katana.

Off he went, into the abyss that would lead to his death. Without wings, ones like Teran possessed, he would hit the floor with a loud thud. Certain he was dead, the god began to walk away, his blade still yet to be drawn. A deep sigh, he was disappointed at the lack of a challenge. A fraction of his power, manipulated form just a bit, was enough to defeat the man.

Dark matter smashed through the earth above him, met with the foot of the man, who smashed it back into the ground, and pushed it back onto itself. The force destroying the dark matter and causing it to explode. The entire island broke apart at the impact force of Teran's might and the destructive force of the matter. ". . . hmm" Whispers, as his wings grew from his back once more. Black sand fell like a waterfall from the multiple segments of roots that was now the island. No longer one complete place, it became a sort of jungle of floating masses of roots or rocks. With no footspace anymore, Teran was jumping between the different footrests, each were rising and falling at different rates, this arena was alive.

Spotting Itazuki where the top of the island had been before, Teran rushed forward, and shot a blast of light out of each of his finger tips, which curved through the air, dancing in verminous harmony, as they all twisted around each other, separating last moment, and focusing all on Itazuki's face. They homed slightly, and would follow him, but only to an extent. They were fast, and only as powerful as the user. Placing only slight strength into it, this wasn't a killing move, but a distraction.

All around Itazuki, the ground had been ripped apart, as darkness consumed it. The shards of roots were pushed aside, giving the man no where to jump to for at least fifty meters, about half a football field in any direction. He would have to face Teran, who was floating ominously, like a bat at the entrance of a cave.

Itazuki quickly glanced up seeing Teran fly out of the floating scraps of Island. The boy stood on odd, non-stabilizing ground he shifted his weight and felt it give way at different points. Now he knew the battle had resumed, Itazuki felt a bundle of warmth rise up from his core and he exhaled watching snakes of light slither and glide through the air at Itazuki at an alarming speed. He squinted at the thought of these, then rushed his katana up to intercept the snake that split into many.

His wrist danced provocatively and with it, his katana moved like the waves of an ocean, consistent. Itazuki's eyes sharpened as he triangulated the future desination of the beams, his face. The first, came head on, he sluggishly brought his arm up. Then with swift grace, the edge of the blade met and diffused the light sending it spiraling away, like deranged bullets. Then the others, he kept parrying. But one, then two managed to slither inside his guard and skim the surface of his skin. Itazuki stumbled back and fell but held out his open hand and stopped, then regained composure. A warm sensation slid down his face, and a sting embedded on the surface. He saw Teran and instinctively took off sprinting towards the edge, he lunged into open air, arms and legs flailing, trying to reach ground. But instead he slashed forward creating a slit in space, a portal that he dove through with nimble grace.

It was only a second that Itazuki was gone, then sudden a portal lashed open and Itazuki fell up from above and behind Teran. Itazuki's own speed was suddenly phenomenal as he fell, holding his sword of his head like a courageous warrior of old. He Slashed down with all his might at where Teran's neck conjoined with his shoulder. With this slash, came a vast array of dark matter that gushed out like blood from a fresh stab wound. It suddenly filled the air around Teran and Itazuki.

The dense mass of black cloud, was quelled with the passive thoughts of Itazuki's mind, but was immediately enraged by the urge to attack and destroy. The cloud morphed into three pint sized balls of jet. Images of the world around glistened on these three graceful balls that floated eerily. Then a spiderweb of fractures grew out of the center of all the orbs. A vibrant hiss, followed by three potent blasts of dark matter. Droplets of dark matter fell from underneath the three beams, and the three were aim both at Teran and Itazuki.

"Today, I promise you one thing." Itazuki said softly, "I will beat you.."

The man had avoided the attacks coming at him so far, it was to be expected of something so pitiful it could easily be executed from the fingertips. As the god hovered slowly, it was more and more obvious of the stench. This stench of determination that radiated from the man like that of a rotting corpse, filled with maggots and spoiled blood. A soft chuckle fell from the man as he cracked his knuckles, a portal opening behind him as Itazuki slashed at his neck. Raising just a few inches, the blade caught the sword that still laid on his back. Even with all the strength from Itazuki, Teran was still as a rock. No recoil from him, or his blade, which caught the weapon as though a child had slashed at him with a twig. Not a chuckle, nor a smile caressed the lips of the defender as he swung around to his attacker, eyes blazing with emptiness. Was he really not playing; or was this man just so uninteresting he had to put zero effort into the fight? Either way, both hands were filled with a white light. Placing them outward, only a yard away from Itazuki, he launched them into his stomach. They emitted large rays, sizes of buildings at the man. This attack, unlike the one that Itazuki had launched, had a recoil, which sent Teran yards backwards, allowing him to avoid the attacks of dark matter from the black orbs itazuki had created.

One by one, the starless sky began to light with stars. "Let me show you a new attack Itazuki. . .I hope you are happy." Thousands of stars appeared in the night sky, and as Teran became illuminated in pure white, it became obvious that he hadn't used this much light in a while as his aura seemed changed. As the stars slowly began to fill the sky, it no longer looked as though they were stars, but the entire sky turned white, with only a few specks of black peeking through the veil. Teran was motionless as his power flowed, finally uttering a phrase. "Marmoreus Astrum!" The white fell. Hundreds of pure white balls fell from the sky, solid like rock. When they hit something solid they exploded into hundreds of smaller balls of energy. These balls all fell towards Itazuki and around him, in a frenzy. The pure light attack was devastating, enough to break the arena completely. As the sky regained its color, the arena was in fact nearly gone, while the marble stars broke everything, thousands upon thousands of orbs of light circling around, exploding into radiant beams. "I don't believe you have a barrier strong enough to stop that."

Teran's wings flapped a single time ominously, as his change was now even more obvious than before. He no longer looked tainted with darkness, but light, as his aura remained a white color, with streaks of black within. He was in his third stage of corruption, but of light instead. This fact made Teran discover something. "The more of the element I use. . .the corruption changes. That is an interesting fact. That means I can find a harmonious state without using Origin's strength someday." Teran's voice became booming, as his eyes became vibrant and blue.

"Itazuki! I am ready to fight you now! I will be serious from this point onward! Bring your A game and I might just draw my sword!" He chuckled, as his voice was booming, and seemingly endless in volume, almost deafening. He rose high above the arena, watching Itazuki constantly. The light had rained everywhere, his transportation attack wouldn't help him at all.

[kjaslkdjiehdfba]

Not a single thought surged through Itazuki's brain as Teran's own attack commenced. Itazuki swung his katana down in front of his stomach, his muscles that covered his entire body suddenly tightened up as Teran's attack bashed head on into his sword, as Teran flew back, Itazuki only flew farther from the force of the rays. The bright light glowed brilliantly on his face, making Itazuki's skin have a glow like porcelain. He could feel the power residing in the beams, he looked around, not touching the beams. A steady grip on his sword enabled him to survive this. The blast carried Itazuki sixty feet till finally he lowered himself, falling beneath the blast but plummeting towards the earth's surface. He was a few miles up giving him time but this would only allow so much.

Falling head first, the sky suddenly grew bright with white and Itazuki looked up and his eyes glistened with tears from the wondrous creation of Teran's starry sky. Itazuki felt at ease from this blissful sight, but in reality should have been bottled up with fear, and suddenly the twinkling of the white ended as the army of light shot down at Itazuki, and fear trailed behind.

Itazuki's body was just a missile falling, increasing in speed, but suddenly falling stars came crashing at the sky diver. Itazuki instinctively spun, and tilted to evade the stars only missing them by a few inches. He watched the stars hit the ground far below and explode into more, destruction and havoc wreaked the ground, Itazuki shivered, but focused his muscles and dodged another set of white balls. The ground kept getting closer, death itself was staring head long at Itazuki, but this didn't instill fear in him, the gorgeous of stars that explode did.

But one fateful star smacked Itazuki dead on in the side of his body, exploding and sending Itazuki in a spiral motion towards another star. The next start exploded and sent Itazuki down like a pinball while the ground only got closer. But for some strange reason, the closer Itazuki got to earth, the more the color shifted and became blue. The ground wasn't ground but in fact a lake, and Itazuki fell eighty mph straight into it, a mushroom of water shot up as Itazuki entered the lake. And the rest of the stars circled into the laking exploding on Impact.

To an observer, Itazuki would have looked like he had died, but his will, his foul smelled determination was too strong for him to just die. When falling after being blown by the stars, Jigoku, took over, ignoring the wishes of Itazuki. The creature of dark matter took control into his own devious hands, and the body of Itazuki transformed into a wretched sack of flesh made from dark matter. His skin hardened and his face began to represent Jigoku's, haggard with a mouth full of razors. Itazuki closed his eyes and grunted as he hit the surface. His body torpedoed smoothly through the warm water, and then rose to the surface like a drowned corpse.

Itazuki lifted his head up, breaking the surface and taking in luscious oxygen. He saw the beach only a few yards yards away and started to swim. The water gave Itazuki an odd sensation, then he realized he had some talent with water. Suddenly he arose out of the water and stood of the surface. "Training with Ty those many years ago did come in handy." Said the blackened figure, Itazuki shape was raw, ruthless. His triceps bulged profusely without purposed. The beast was Sculpted to the core, he looked like a black marble statue, his definition to perfect and masculine for one man to obtain.

Jigoku's desire for pain and destruction settled into Itazuki and his mouth hatched open revealing his deadly arsenal of teeth. The katana clutched in his right had, lifted up and pointed at the tiny speck that was Teran. The battle had changed areas, no longer on a floating Island but instead on a lake surround by dense woods. Itazuki focused hard at the tip of his sword, his muscles swelled then Dark matter began to pour like blood from the tip of the katana, black clouded the waters below. A blast of raw untamed dark matter rocketed through the sky, fast and perfect. The size was thirty feet in diameter. The beamed shot and extended from his katana, it looked like a pillar sprouting for Teran ready to explode upon impact sending a sizzling mass of dark matter at Teran. "ARGGGG!!!" Was the only thing Itazuki could mutter, he huffed in laughter holding still his blade, pointed to the sky. Thick blood poured from his sides, from wear the stars had hit, feeling the damage but the power of Jigoku already regenerating the wounds.

Jigoku. What an idiot. The demi god stared with a lack of interest into the lake beneath them. Itazuki, a man once strong with will was now taken over by a weakling. Teran hovered still, high above the water. letting himself smile, his power dropped a bit, as his wings turned into a white dust. This man was an acrobat, doing a flip backwards as he fell through the air, slowly gaining speed. As he fell, his arms straightened, touching the sides of his thighs. Face first, a sonic boom shot behind him, as he sped with extreme intensity towards the ground. As he got closer, another boom shot, the sound shaking the trees around them, as Teran slashed with Grim honor at Jigoku. The force of his attack was enough to break a hundred katanas with one slash, although this weapon was different, it was powerful as well, but with a slash that speed and strength, the one half unstoppable force one half immovable object ripped apart the air around them, as pure strength was sent through Teran's body and into the hollow shell of Itazuki.

Teran jumped backwards, hovering over the water slightly. A soft music whispered through the sky, as a comforting requiem played of the creatures in the area fleeing. The screaming of small demons that crawled through the ground to peek at power, and the wretched yelping of them as they retreated back to hell was the tune. Teran was still without words, as the blade materialized back into nothingness. As his wings returned to his back, his body was pure white, as the water beneath them began to glow with the force of his illuminating glory. Although no powerful effect was within, the fact that the water was white only meant one thing.

The force of it around him was so powerful, it had blocked out the sky. The clear water did not take the soft blue hue of the air, but the ineffably annihilative element of purity that Teran had mastered. His eyes remained blank, as he hovered back towards Itazuki, his hand in the air to strike him. Moving his hand forward, he let his fist fall to Teran's torso, and then forward in a jab. The jab created the same sonic boom as the one he made when he fell. Surrounded with darkness, it would stop a blade from cutting it should it be blocked by Jigoku, provided he was still alive to block at all.

Just inside one man there remained so much conflict. The inner being of Itazuki was merely a shadow in his own body, he could see, but his mouth, arms and legs were taken away. All action was obliterated by the presence of Jigoku. But they both gazed up through one body at the falling star that was Teran. Jigoku grunted, expelling a noxious fume of dark matter. He rotated his arm loosely, his blade flimsy. Weak, but it was not. Jigoku expected an attack, backed by tremendous power let alone speed. Teran fell rather fast and slashed his sword at Jigoku. The creature of dark matter brought his leg back, giving him more strength in a block, as the swords collided together in a mesh of steel. Jigoku wasn't looking for a match of brute strength, he gave back and then suddenly propelled himself through the air backwards, his body looked like a rag doll flying with his back towards the forest. But his black eyes, with dementia glazed over, gazed at Teran with such intensity, it looked like Jigoku was trying to melt Teran with his mind. He had no such power.

Jigoku's travel ended when he plummeted through a tree. His body acted like an axe, cutting through several trees till he hit a hill and rolled down. He gathered his members collectively shaping into a ball to roll, till he sprung out into a run. He saw Teran through the dense brush and saw him shoot a sonic boom from his fist. "Interesting..." He murmured, then with the steel of his katana, he cut down a tree. The massive sequoia, fell elegantly, breaking others on its way down. Forget that. Jigoku thought, till he bolted out of the forest, ignoring the idea to plan ahead. His body raced above the surface of the water, till suddenly Jigoku jerked forward and fell to his knees. Coughing hysterically, black ooze splattered out, painting the white waters black with despair. "No!!!!!!" He shouted, and as he looked up, one side of his face resembled Itazuki. A physical display of the battle inside Itazuki body. "I can...." Jigoku jutted out his palm and aimed for Teran, Jigoku's face receded back to a horrid nightmare.

The center of his palm casually split from side to side, with a drop spilling out. With a mind of its own, the cut spread, revealing the inside of the palm, but instead of human red flesh, it was just darkness, but then with inside the cut, a red eye opened. Then three tentacles of enormous size broke out around the arm, the points of the tendrils in front of the eye. Jigoku with his other arm held the katana but he stabbed it in between his shoulder and neck, the katana dissolved and became one with his body. He placed his left arm to act as a brace for his right arm. The red eye in the palm grew hot with anger, this was merely the third eye of Jigoku, the center of his being.Dark matter gathered into a ball held stiff by the three black tentacles. The red strenuous eye blinked and havoc was released. A gigantic beam of dark matter first spiraled out of the ball then centered directly on Teran. But with in this beam, the blood of Itazuki was poured inside and with his blood, his enduring will fueled and even made this blast stronger. The water around it began to simmer, till finally it dissipated by the raw corrosion that was dark matter. The whole lake gave way, revealing just another three mile deep crater. And the forest around Jigoku and Teran blew viciously from Jigoku's onslaught.

Jigoku was sent back from the recoil of his attack, being held up in midair by the force of his attack till finally he reached the sandy beach, and his continual eruption ended. He stretched a bit, and saw a thick cloud of dark matter rise in the air. He was in a trance by it, and uttered hypnotically, "I wonder if Teran is dead now." His gnarled teeth clattering together, discordantly. .

The heart of the beast was crawling to the surface, only to be smashed down into the oblivious monster that had awoken. Teran observed this with a grain of salt, acknowledging that Itazuki was the stronger, only with a will of a child. Itazuki's glare was empty, replaced by the red eye of Jigoku. "What a fool you are." Teran could only utter, as he drooped his head to the ground. "Just a man without color, looking over his shoulder until the dawn comes; his eyes will not close. Wasted nights and wasted lives. Itazuki you are weak. Where are your loved ones? Isn't it cold in that place? What if the dawn is just the bitter end. Maybe it just burns like a living hell, all alone." Teran paused, his words forced, he always wanted to be harsher. "The dawn will come today dreamer."

It is all so close, the feeling of freedom. Trapped within, Jigoku was rushing forward. The trees behind him felt the damage that he wished to inflict upon Teran. He was talking to Jigoku now, and not the man who he previously referred to as a dreamer. "You wanna crush me too don't you?" Teran's face finally lit up, as he would normally act. Crazy some would call it. Unneeded confidence and flare now filled his movements. Tentacles, the stupid things of an otaku's fantasy, they were out of his hand. Such a strange creature he was turning into. He was corrupted by a creature of origin as well. "Most likely a reject aren't you Jigoku? Origin never mentioned anything of you, and I know every creature he created, I have his power. This is the power a creature of Origin must possess. I am not even using his strength!" At the end of this, the blast of dark matter left from the bleeding eye, that of Jigoku. Rushing forward, Teran's blade was now drawn, as he rushed forward.

Dark matter exploded in all directions as Teran laughed like a maniac. A barrier light surrounded him, and a barrier of dark directly after that. Another five layers of barriers surrounded him, a total of ten. As he rushed forward, they were ripped away in layers, as the force surrounded him completely. Stabbing at the eye of the creature, he launched forward a blast of extreme power. Herculean Dusk! As his power exploded through his blade, it meant to destroy the eye. The power around him expanded and Teran's voice quaked. "Whatever gets the job done faster right?!" He was unharmed, all barriers gone, but his wings remained curved around him, sheltering him. At this point, he felt it.

Darkness and light, engulfing themselves in his veins. "This is your last chance Itazuki. I am going to do it now. Activate my fourth stage. You know that none have beaten this, when you fought me before in this stage, you had two other masters helping you. I will kill you." Teran spread his feet, his irises turning black. Consumed in the darkness, he rose into the air, a few feet. The sand beneath them, on this large beach they fought at was ripping apart, and sent into all directions. The tide behind them was launched far backwards, in preparation of the tidal wave to come with the gravity coming off of Teran. "Alright. . ." Teran uttered as his bones began to crack and snap. The wrenching sound of his bones tugging and pulling at each other grew louder as his muscles bulged to the size of a blimp. Growing about three feet taller, his legs grew large and staggering. Tree trunks of gray. His arms grew large claws, as his weapon remained silent to this act of power. His wings remained the same size, yet no longer had the strength to allow flight. As he stumbled forward, his lack of understanding of this form was obvious. Resisting the urge to kill and rip the man in two, he tried to not rely solely on bloodlust and combat instincts.

"Must. . . break. You!" He uttered from his pure white lips, as he began to run. His arms were pendulums as his hulking stature ripped apart the beach with each step. Smashing his fist against the ground next to Itazuki, his darkness solidified into large spikes, all with mouths of old men, which spewed out black liquid death. Upon touch, it would burn the skin. About fifteen fountains were created around them, as the tidal wave from Teran's massive flux of strength flowed inland and smashing against them. The massive wave did nothing to the God's unmoving body.

[kjaslkdjiehdfba]

Frustration sprayed itself across Itazuki's ghastly face, his skin cringed from the Teran. Jigoku grunted from his own attack, his movements would have to be swift naturally to truly survive Teran, let alone defeat him. He Closed his fist, and the red eye of Jigoku retracted back inside, and it slithered away safe, in an unknown location, deep within Itazuki's rough interior. But Teran's threat was still prevalent, his raging blast forced Itazuki to contract into a ball of protected. His forearms received the blunt of the attack, he kept his legs stiff but flexible. The beast slid casually from Teran's might but then he bounced to a knee, tumbling back a few feet.

Jigoku's arms were battered, his skin shredded revealing the stark white contrast of bone against the celestial darkness of his skin. He panted slightly, fatigue settling upon his body. But Itazuki's determination shrugged it off. Jigoku stood up, his shoulders piling over, slouching. "You think you know me?" The creature of dark matter hissed, "I'm the outcast of Origin's creation?" Jigoku's eyes were merely globes, void of any color. Black, perfectly reflecting the outside world. It seemed as though Jigoku was in command, his growling voice uttered, "I don't wanna crush you, I wanna devour you." Jigoku's stature was simple, primal. Jigoku didn't need to think incisively. His body was simply a mind of its own, and it didn't fail.

Then Itazuki stared at Teran in a lethal concoction of panic and bewilderment. This increase of power and size grabbed at Itazuki with claws, reeling him in. Itazuki could only fascinated, such a raw display of one's means. Jigoku shrugged it off, not noting much of it. Teran ran towards Itazuki, Jigoku was buried in his own laughter, it was as though with each stride, Teran wobbled from his own massiveness.

"Well, he seems to be much bigger, but-" Jigoku was interrupted by Teran's darkness spikes exploding out of the ground. Itazuki's body nimbly pivoted on the balls of his feet, he twisted, dodging a stalagmite. Then another, Itazuki moved like gravity had no effect on him, his body exceeded the nature's laws. Then a few feet away, Itazuki was distracted by Teran's new form, then acid came from faces on the spikes. It splattered on his arm, and his skin started to corrode. Jigoku held a palm full of dark matter and smacked it against the black liquid with his own, quelling the burn instantly. More faces spat the horrific liquid and Itazuki continued to swiftly evade.

"Well...It seems I gotta up my game." Itazuki said to Jigoku, now however the conflict that was upon the most inner parts of Itazuki seemed to be made calm. The fight with ceased. And Jigoku felt Itazuki, felt Teran and felt the world around himself. "No more Itazuki..." JIgoku uttered calmly, "We keep fighting, so our energies are almost always depleted." Reason settled in his mind and Itazuki stood perplexed, his muscles loosened, calm and relaxed despite the heat of the moment. "We, you and me have to stop fighting and focus on our real enemy." Without control, Itazuki's hand steadily rose and pointed at Teran. "We must work together, I will back you up, don't be fueled by your hate. Don't let it consume you. You won't ever succeed, cause once that hates gone. What then?" Jigoku spoke differently, he didn't seem like the monster Itazuki had known for so long. "Ok?" Itazuki uttered. "I'll supply you, you attack and slay a god."


Itazuki's eyes, black but not enraged wandered up to the sky and saw that dense spacial area of dark matter. So thick in it's construction, Itazuki thought he could swim and get stuck in it. "Use it..." A hollow voice whispered in the back of his calm mind. The beasts body without thought skyrocketed into the air, the crisp wind blowing his newly grown hair radically. Itazuki's hair was a solid vine of dark matter that tailed off his head. He reached the cloud of his own creation and grabbed it, feeling its own enormous strength residing inside it then coalescing with his own dynamic power. The cloud grew, expanding, stretching. Itazuki began to fall back towards earth, he came holding the end of a black tornado. A Tornado of dark matter, it spun rapidly, the air around Itazuki grew unevenly dim, void of light.

Itazuki's velocity only increased as he kept falling down towards till finally, contact. Itazuki punched at Teran's head but with the disastrous might of Dark matter's tornado. The funnel if it hit Teran would shred and tear, and the landscape, would sizzle away in a beautiful display of dark matter's terrifying power. Then finnally in a condensed form, the point would shrink to a small ball, exploding, destroying. Bringing pain and anguish to the land and the things in it.

Jigoku looked at Teran, knowing what was about to come. He knew someone would die, the only question that jogged diligently in his mind was. Who?

It was out of a children's book now. Dear god, they were talking about friendship? This man was just consumed by the black, and sinking heavily, and now of all times he can reveal himself? Jigoku! You are weak! As soon as you know you are going to die you beg Itazuki for help. I will slay you! The monster was still, as he took heed at what was becoming the area around him. As the two were in turmoil with each other, struggling to take control, the god simply gave them time, a chance in which he could rip them apart. "Spine. . .soft like paper. . ." He could snap bones with a pinky, and smash this man into less than dust, something less than even the consuming dark matter could create. Jigoku was talking now, as dark matter appeared above their heads.

"Simplistic. . ." The god uttered, as his wings sprouted into a larger form once more. His muscles grew a bit more condensed, as he stood completely upright. His tail was longer and thicker than before, smashing the ground. Preparing himself as the attack swirled around the body of the beast fusion of two idiots, Teran had time to send himself into his fifth form, a strength stronger than any one man could handle. Black spikes began to crawl out of spine, and his shoulders. His right arm bulged from its large form to an even larger one, a gigantic claw replacing where his hand would normally be. His legs grew even bulkier, as a second set of wings grew out form his back. Large wings, flight was able again, at extreme speeds, yet walking was nearly impossible.

At that, a black tormenting death rained from the sky, as the hurricane smashed at Teran. It appeared as though he would die, yet he swung his large right arm in the air, stronger than a tank with its defensive capabilities. The pain it brought was immense, yet with the form only enough for him to utter silently. "Ugh. . ." He grunted as his facial features remained calm, if existant at all. As his arm swung, it sent a large amount of darkness and light at Itazuki, to kill the man. His body was shaking, as he held in his power. The trees around them were dead, sapped of all life in the overwhelming girth of the man. Stepping one step forward, an outburst of Teran's pure energy came into being. The strength would not only rival that of the attack Itazuki just launched, but near surpass it. All from one step. "Die. . . now. . ." He uttered, as his left arm reached out to Itazuki.

As his arm extended, all became clear. It was his purpose. At this point of time, Teran could only kill. The power of his attack was too much, and as he attempted to retract his arm before the man would die, it was too late. Every bit of his being was sent forward in his left arm. With enough strength to lodge Teran a few inches into the ground, a single black orb was sent out of his body, and shot forward at the speed of a rocket towards Itazuki. As it grew near, it imploded. Teran moved his right arm in front of his face, as he had no energy left to stop the attack. For the next few moments he was defenseless besides his arm, as the world shook.

The world itself began to rip apart at the force of this, as the explosion emitted from the small orb destroyed everything nearby, leaving nothing left. Teran was in his regular form again, a bit of energy around him, enough to stand and walk around, but not enough to transform. "Damnit. . .I killed him didn't I?" He uttered, as blood fell from his brow.

I am determinèd to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days."

Now it is time...A menacing voice softly spoke, only Itazuki would hear it, it pushed against the back of his mind. A voice that would haunt that last few minutes of his meager existence. Scratching against the surface, waiting to break free. For you to die. It echoed ominously, the ripples effecting Itazuki to such an extreme degree, prohibiting his movements.

Itazuki thunderous tornado of dark matter attack to seem have touched Teran, hurting him but not killing him as hoped. Itazuki and his enemy were it seemed fused, but suddenly separated, Teran's massive claw arm simply swung sending light and dark at Itazuki, the boy who grew up could see his fate coming at him. He battered against him sending him back, inflicting damage upon his outer layer. Itazuki hit the ground with such extreme force, the earth cracked like a broken mirror. His body flung up still filling the might of Teran's might, he staggered to fight, swinging his sword like a fool. But with no success. Jigoku looked from within, and fed the boy a surplus, just enough to keep him alive.

The eerie voice returned, soothing the mind of Itazuki with melodic tones of death and wishes. Live, feed of my pain, feed of my suffering... Teran's single step, sent an earthquake at Itazuki, he shook and toppled over, quivering in fear. Feeling Teran's even new strength surging through his entire body, any other day Itazuki could have lain there and given up, however today was not that day. A stronger entity pushed him up standing ready to fight.

The thick hide of dark matter began to slid of Itazuki's frail body, but was rudely interrupted by Teran's super strong attack that sent an orb of perpetual death. Jigoke remained inside, giggling, feeding Itazuki with power, just enough, to be crushed. The orb struck and exploded upon Itazuki. But before that Jigoku couldn't stand, couldn't let Itazuki die. A thick fog of dark matter shielded around Itazuki, but this weak defense shattered, and Itazuki was sent away, from the blast. The luscious battlefield, glowed with light and darkness, from afar, a clear dot could be seen spiraling away from the center of the massive implosion.

A few minutes elapsed, a nearly destroyed Itazuki hovered desolate. He was held by means of his own power, but might another, he was merely a figurative puppet with strands of dark matter mysteriously casting him up. His right arm, dangled freely by a thin shred of red meat. His half naked body, covered from head to toe in thick deep lacerations with creamy crimson dripping to the ground. His body was worn and torn, his life reaching its bitter end. His face looked like it was rubbed away, most of his flesh was seared off, bone seeped through. His beautiful blue eyes, despite the turmoil were filled with peace. He saw Teran, returned to his normal state. Itazuki cracked his mouth open, teeth fell and he gummed the words. "No..." His chest heaved back and forth. His eyes began to sink back in and pain shot through his head.

The red eye of Jigoku remained steady on Itazuki battered shoulder, it then strained and sunk inside Itazuki's flesh. Your time has reached it's end. The last words Itazuki would hear. Itazuki looking dead, slouched over as his life was sapped away. A greater force brought his body to stand up straight, his posture over extending, his arms and legs being pulled back by invisible restraints. His mouth opened, exceeding normal standards, and black bony hands lurched out and opened his mouth even more. Itazuki's head fell, and a black body, covered in Itazuki's blood curled into a ball like a newborn baby.

It's head twisted completely around looking directly at Itazuki. It's eyes were empty, void of life, void of death. They just burned into Itazuki till the creature flung up at Itazuki. The creature's body was weak and thin, it's black skin wrapped tightly around it's brittle bones. Every bone had clear distinction. It's cranium was larger then normal and was plopped on a thin neck, it pushed its head back and gaped its mouth wide, a jaw full of white spike. A tongue flicked, anticipating the taste of flesh. The black beast latched on to Itazuki's body, it was much smaller than Itazuki, half his size. A single bite to Itazuki's neck, red strands of meat being torn away, Itazuki had no tongue to scream only a deafening grumble. The fleshly skeleton spewed the sword of Jigoku from his mouth and cut off Itazuki's head. The poor boy's head spun freely, thin blood trailing behind, till the head hit the ground. Mushy and dead, Itazuki blinked once, everything happened to fast, life seemed to suddenly swell into him then nothing.

Itazuki's decapitated body still floated, the creature, seeing the neck hole, ripped it a part more with its blackened claws and wormed through Itazuki's body. Exploding out the chest, it jumped and landed on the ground and Itazuki body dropped. A single thud and the end of a man's life.
The creature, wiped its face of blood, leaving the rest on his body. He was hunched, then stood up straight. The creatures face suddenly, when he closed his mouth, resembled the appearance of a dashingly good looking man, but his eyes remained void. A long tongue slipped out but he brought back in. It spoke, "Well..." It peered over the extreme distance between him and Teran. "It seems-" The distance was broken as the creature stood ten feet away from Teran. "We finally get to meet face to face." Jigoku's voice was calm and collected, too sincere and genuine to really be Jigoku. Taking a deep breath, feeling all the restraints let loose. "You think I'm weak...It was that boy...Itazuki..." Jigoku turned his head completely around and his eyesight carried all the way to Itazuki body and head. "He was holding me back, he was merely a burden, and you..." Jigoku clamped his hands together and gave a gesture of thanks. "You helped me kill him, however I had to deliver the final blow. But without you, I would be present."

Jigoku was a wretched being, the embodiment of dark matter. Void of anything, anything human and he looked intently upon Teran. "Now it's time for you to die."
