"Ah, well since you're all so excited about it. Let's get right into it!" My mommy stated as she said goodbye to uncle YeeRasurum and Auntie Ersula. She then brought up a feed on a massive ship flying through our verse. As it flew, we could see it assimilating space, matter from planets, stars, nebula, galaxies and more. It made the lot of us wonder what the hell was going on. And who in their right mind would go about creating a ship that's bigger than an entire galaxy.
"Mhm, what is it that we're seeing here? Who in the verse created such a travesty, Madame Anastasia?" Ri-oh'dioh calmly asked. He, Shi'Ho-ho, and even Timozzia were all examining every bit of the ship. My mommy could tell that they were now viewing the ship in real time thanks to their essence tethering to Kokonovski.
"I'm glad you asked, Ri-oh. It's a ship that has been devouring universe after universe. Feeding it's essence to an entire Empire that has encased their Multiverse into that very ship. I'm guessing you guys are already catching in to the task at hand?" My mommy explained as she looked towards us for the obvious answer.
"Dah, you want us to take our team and fight entire Empire doped up on essence from multiple territories, yah?" Snowrunt asked as she got a closer look at the ship.
"Exactly, so... You all ready to eliminate this growing threat?" She asked.
"Hmm... I'm not really foolish enough to believe annihilating them is our only option. Let's find out their true objective, convince them to stop, and if that doesn't work...
"We'll simply kill them all without fail. Because if a diplomatic approach doesn't work, they'll definitely try to kill us!" Heemy and explained as we took lead of the team. Luckily for us, our pitch was ideal and it was a pitch that needed little to no planning here.
"Well I say we get our things together and prepare our ship. Don'tcha think!?" ZeeNastasia states as she walks ahead of the group.
"We'll before you all go. We got some supplied and a few tactics to master while you're out saving the verse from any and everything!" Mommy explained as she took center stage once more. She created a bunch of seats for us whilst Masters Rosareideem and Z'lusha went along with Nagath to gather our things and ship.
During that time, mommy and daddy presented an ungodly amount of supplies to us all that would greatly help in the line of battle. Support items for healing, ailment suppression, damage prevention, damage dealing, intel collections through use of differing gadgets, recon, and more. These were to help us relieve the use of our essence when using our power over concepts to produce the same results. The exact same results as these items. So one could easily say everyone on the team was pretty damn excited. More than anyone else were Shi'Ho-ho, Timozzia, and Ri-oh'dioh. We immediately stored everything into their jackets and straightened ourselves up whilst my mother got to explaining things.
And yes, before you call it out, I call her mommy when I'm all innocent and in my everyday mode. But when it's time to fight and run into danger, I take after my parents and my mastered, crazed self comes to the surface. I'm similar to ZeeNastasia during this, but even crazier. Best example is my fight with uncle Annihilo eighteen years ago. That wasn't ZeeNastasia back then, it was me... Allll me! Now then...
"Allow me to explain the one and ONLY tactic you'll ever need. It's a powerful technique that all forms of Deities can do. This technique has been able to save the lives of countless when in need of greater power and capabilities their forms won't give them. It involves two or more Deities and gives birth to something new, something grand, and something exciting!!" My mother explained in detail to make sure we had a good understanding of this technique before we leave.
"Indeed, and if I may cut in to add on. The technique was even used by STRIFE members during a bout with one of our members before he was on the team. He nearly had the Risen King and Fallen Queen beat. Alongside Simosses the Sharpshooter, Heirien the Easter Bunny, and even Xeeron the Celestials King. Facing off against the Omniverse's first original villain." My father explained.
"Wait, wait... Wait a fucking minute. I was told legends of the first Serial Killer. Buuuut, I was NEVER told he was apart of STRIFE. Word to my mudda, why is that, Master ZeeNihilo b?" Jah'malle asked. Gaining the attention of everyone as he beats them to the punch.
"Yeah, tell us!!" Everyone insisted he speak of what it is he was already explaining.
"Hmph, do you mind, honey?" My father asked my mother.
"Go right ahead, I never did hear the details to this, even if it's losse details." My mother responds.
"Perfect, now as I was saying before. It was the five of them going up against our Verse's first villain and Serial Killer. Now when you think about all members of STRIFE being nearly equal nowadays, makes you wonder how one God could do it all, huh? Well within these times for our Omniverse, the legendary Ripper was probably the strongest within the Omniverse for quite some time. This specific battle and moment was during that very same time." My father went on to continue his explanation. Already 'wowing' us and shocking us with such information. We were all left speechless and begging for more information on one of the most infamous Deities of all time... The FUCKING Ripperrrr!!!
"Heh, good to see you're all dialed in now. As for how a battle against such an opponent went, well... It was a landslide against STRIFE's trusted forces. From what I was told by the Risen King, Yahddai. The Ripper tore through the confines of the Second Negative Colossaverse. Killing nearly all of its inhabitants within the battle that took place before my comrades ever arrived. It was the Fallen Queen against the Ripper and his mastery of the Killing and Murder concepts. Fucking son of a bitch can kill or murder ANYTHING in anyway he sees fit. His favorite technique was using his glare to summon knives wherever his watchful eye lands on. The attacks are almost instantaneous, and pushed the team to the brink of death. They stood little to no chance against him, only gaining little ground within their scuffles." Father continued to explain.
"He was able to track Simosses's non-traveling ammunition after dodging just one singular bullet. He blitzed him and forced him into quite the fight. Ripping most of the verse apart as he attempted to end my sworn friend's life. He bested Heirien in certain fields of speed, and even outmaneuvered and out muscled Yahddai and Xeeron. No combo attacks worked, and he was a sadist when dealing with the strong. And loved to take his time with those he was going to lay waste to. But that would come to backfire on him in this fight. For you see, he was actually able to be held back by our team's efforts just long enough for a counter to be made. And it was commenced when a new challenger joined the fray." Father told this story even further into its chronological events.
"Now this is where everything turned for the better. For you see, this is one of the EARLIEST moments of the Merger or Fusion concepts being used in our verse. The Risen King and Fallen Queen, twins born between two twin Colossaverses. The two of them rose up and became one being. Someone capable of repelling the Ripper and saving my comrades from danger. This ending such a unforeseen first contact with the Ripper back when he was nothing more than THE Grand Serial Killer. This story was perfect for introducing you all to fusion and merger. Hopefully those two concepts come in handy for you all one of these days. Truth is, we'd rather a threat like that never show itself. But if it does, and none of you has what it takes to win. Combine and conquer... That is all." Father finished his story and pointed towards Lady Nagath. She was ready to take us all to our ship and get us in our way.
We said our farewells, and 'see you later's' as we exited. Whilst Heemy, Yee and I finished hugging my parents. ZeeNastasia and YeeRashuri hugged them tightly and thanked them very kindly for their help. They finally have bodies again and don't have to share with Yee and I anymore. We were also grateful, because they gave us our sisters in the flesh and not just us, but the TEAM couldn't be happier.
Once they finished their goodbyes, we joined the others and raced towards our ship. All so we could finally get this show on the ride. Finally get our duty started as the absolute protectors of the Annihilation Verse!
"Alright, allllright, it's time we all got our asses into high gear and get this mission started!* I shouted whilst walking to the helm of the ship. Tying my hair into a messy bun all the while.
"This is our first mission doing what it is we trained seven years to become. So let's make sure that we're solid, coordinated, attentive, and most importantly... Let's fucking have each other's backs, a'ight? Seven years together means we're like family, so let's show the verse what the fuck this family can do!" Heemy shouted.
My Heemy did fantastic to get our crew hyped up and raring to go. I mean they were shouting proudly and loudly as our ship slowly rides to the runway of our mansions takeoff system. I mean these motherfuckers were over the top, even going as far as to harmonize our essence and being about a new flare for our ship.
"Shi'Ho-ho, what're we looking at?" I asked whilst joining her and Josie at the cockpit.
"The ship has expanded to a whopping moon sized marvel. We'll be taking off at speeds far greater than usual and I'm talking FAR GREATER!" Shi'Ho-ho states as she switched on all of our thrusters. Josie turned on our regulators and made sure we were ready for a very suitable ascension into the outer cosmos once more. The both counted down from ten before blasting off, endless astronomical units were jumped as we made our way towards the massive ship that carries an Empire in its confines. We were all told our ship's new capabilities brought it to a level were traveling through a whole one-hundred, thousand universes in mere seconds. It was all thanks to our combined essence syncing with, and being absorbed by the ship. It was truly wonderful honestly. Because it meant we'd be at the ship within the next minute. And from what Kokonovski could see, they could literally FEEL us coming their way. Opening the hatch for us to land, which was only done, because Kokonovski can send messages to all who fall within her masterful gaze. They were told of our diplomatic mission here, but only five of us exist to these people.
"So which five did you mention to them, Koko?" Heemy asked.
"I have chosen myself, Zee, ZeeNastasia, ReighHeem, and Dila. We five will represent the team while the remaining nineteen will sneak in through a hole within their ship on the back end that was created by a fight from within. You'll need to camouflage and leave out before we dock. Wait for my essence to shoot up as the signal if negotiations fall short, alright?" Kokonovski explained.
Everyone agreed without question and got into position. We were about to dick when all nineteen rushed out of the ship as we boarded this abomination of a thing. There were a few large deities directing us in and telling us where to go once we stepped off the ship. The five of us went into a tunnel system, guided by a sharply dressed insect deity of the beetle species. He led us to a grand castle hall where the leaders of this Empire now sit. They were awaiting our arrival and held a session of nobles to address we five.
"Welcome to our flying Empire, a grand mausoleum created to directly help our Empire and it's people, evolve. We're guessing that's why you have come, daughter of Anastasia. Or should I say DAUGHTERS, seeing as that takk one there has the same face as you almost." The Emperor stated.
"That's exactly why we're here." I replied.
"Yes, and excuse my being so direct, but... We've come to reach an agreement with you all. Regardless of your reason, you're taking away matter that actually holds worth within our verse! You must lower your activity!" ZeeNastasia states as she took the stand for our group.
"Hah! You think you can stand in the way of our progression? Harmless damage done even if we have devoured more than one-hundred universes. It's mere specks compared to how large and vast our Colossaverse truly is. We are a Deletion Empire who wishes to hold strength equal to a clan. What is sis wrong with that?!" The Empress chimes in with an enthusiastic manner.
"What's wrong? You're choosing to be selfish and use old and ancient Omniverse tactics that were buried with the Chaotic Era as it comes to an end. We live in times where you can negotiate yourself into gathering the amount of essence, matter, time and substance needed to reach a Clan's might. Instead... You choose to take what is NOT yours!!" Heemy answered as he stepped forward in frustration.
"You cannot justify your foolish choices here. Please adhere to the ways of the new and form a treaty that allows you the amount of essence needed for the mission." I pleaded of them in hopes they'd cooperate.
"Hmph, it does not sound like much of a bad notion. Thing is, we're already baring close to the limits at which we need to reach to become an Empire of equal strength to clans. Your treaty does little for us now. Even easier to say that you foolish children have shown up far too late to stop us. Needless to say, we'll be taking what we need, WITH or WITHOUT you lowly children!" The Emperor shouted as he rose to his feet. Floating down to us as many citizens and soldiers now stood up to address his current mood shift. No, not address is, but heighten and support it!
"Tch, you're making a mistake here, Emperor Kilon, that's for certain!" Dila states as he and Heemy to the front of we five. Protecting their comrades from the threat of Kilon who now has bloodlust within his essence signature.
"Are you absolutely sure you want to go this route!?" I asked as I entered a stance for self defense.
"Heh, o'daughter of ZeeNihilo and Anastasia... We've got our ENTIRE Empire waiting to strike you all down. What need would we have to hesitate on or alter our decision? You'll all be captured, beaten and used as leverage when it's time for the next phase." The Empress explained as she floats down to land next to and be by her husband, Kilon. They both raised their our arms into the sky as if there were about to give a signal.
"It's best you don't do that, for you will come to REGRET IT, bruh!!" ZeeNastasia proclaimed as her essence began to boil.
"Ha, not a chance, you moronic children. Have at THEE!!" Kilon shouts his demands as he and his wife point towards us. Poising their entire civilization to come crashing at us.
"Hmph, so it comes to this, eh? Fine!" Kokonovski made her essence skyrocket upwards and cause a massive eruption of vibrations and shaking to ensue. It was not only our team's signal, but also a declaration of war from our side. Looks like it's time to bare our fangs and eliminate these crude peons before they do anymore damage!
"That is the signal. Let us go!" Ri-ohhanna commanded. Everyone nodded as they brought about their signature weapons.
"Ah, man... These blokes won't know what hit em!" Theodore states as he vanished ahead of everyone. Which insulted them all since he beat them to the punch. They leapt down in unison and dropped their camouflage and essence vanishing techniques. They were making sure to make their presence known.
"What in fhe- wh-where did THEY come from!?" Kilon shouted as he looked up.
"We knew you'd be unreasonable, I mean look at what you're doing and defending!! So we made sure to come prepared, ya dick! Now then... ANNIHILATE THESE SCUM, ANNIHILO-SECT!!!" All five of us demanded this from each other and the rest of the team.
"Why youuu-
The Emperor vanished and came after Heemy. Heemy blocked his attacks, flying back with Kilon as they enter mortal combat. The Queen was about to do the same, but she was tackled from the sky by YeeNessa.
The rest of us leapt forward with absolute levels of bloodlust and killing intent. We had hundreds of trillions coming at us from all angles. Yet not one of us steered away from the challenged. Instead we all smiled in unison.
I leapt through our forces and into thousands of combatants on my own. Using my fists to punch these lesser lunatics into fucking space dust. Pummeling more than two thousand of them EVERY second. Crushing the forces before me as I turned into a beam of annihilating light. Beside me were Snowrunt, Timone, Sinnthia, and ZeeNastasia. They all split within an instant to crack down in the countless being coming for us. But unfortunately for them, by the time they got their forces together, all twenty-four of us leapt out of their grand castle hall. Crashing through its walls and into the empire in a hurry. Countless deities chased us into their home, while others from within joined the hunt. None of them were strong enough- erh... Better to say NOWHERE NEAR strong enough to take us on in battle! We eliminated countless deities with our well trained prowess. A lot of which were actually able to take notice of our evolution! It made them hesitant, which gave us rich opportunities to strike and kill them all, via Erasure!!
"What in the... What happened to so many of the citizens and members of our esteemed empire!? Billions have been annihilated in mere moments!!" The beetle guard stated as he stood in front of the entrance to the castle hall that wasn't so 'grand' anymore. He watched as Josie ripped his people to ribbons as they continue to attack us like fools. His onslaught alone cause an eruption to occur, then a shower to follow. A shower of blood, guys, eyeballs, heads, severed limbs, stomachs, hearts and even brains blown to smithereens. The beetle was left in disbelief before that all turned into unadulterated anger. He rushed towards Josie I'ma fit if rage and tackled our boy into a nearby planet created by their emperor. Josie attempted to scratch his eyes out, but it was guarded against by a built in helmet the beetle has. He even reinforced it with a heavy amount of Armored Zenchi.
"Ah, I wasn't really expecting this!! But I'm happy to put your silly ass in a coffin. You all asked for this, and we're happy to oblige and deliver!!" Josie shouted whilst reversing the slam and throttling the beetle deity into the grounds of the planet.
The rest of us continued to turn these idiots into dust as we flew through their home. Hoping there would be some who actually wish to defy their foolish leaders and stand aside! But their loyalty was at too high of a level of we're being honest. So for us, the mission was to leave no survivors. Once we were all told of this, we quickly turned on the boosters and began to rip this place apart using our concepts.
No longer were we holding back, covering ourselves in the dust that was once our opponents, and drenching ourselves in the blood of those unfortunate enough to make us physically punch their dumbasses. I mean it go so damn sickening that some of were wearing guys for hats before taking off and burning everything with our illogical levels of speed and acceleration! No one could keep up, not even their royal guards, signature members, nor the beetle, and his pathetic Emperor and Empress. Every single one of them fell to our might and lost their lives. By the time ten percent of their population was left, we vanished to the outside with our science team manning the Annihilo ship. We left the Emperor alive at the request of Ri-ohhanna who wanted to see him beg as he saw what was coming.
"Allow me." Ri-ohhanna stepped forward and sent a ridiculous amount of essence barrelling towards theur ship and home.
She laced it with the concept of Big-Bang which would allow her to disperse and send out EVERY bit if essence and matter they stole. Bringing back the missing sections the verse would've had to heal over time. But now, thanks to us... The verse is quite literally back to normal with one less threat to worry about.
"Heh, that was... FUCKIN INSAAAANE!!" I shouted as I grabbed and picked up ZeeNastasia.
"You ain't never told a lie, Zee. Now put- mhm, put me the fuck down, bitch." She said hysterically as everyone laughed and shook hands, exchanged hugs, and cracked jokes like a family brooding about ther day in a positive manner. But the hype was so fucking real y'all. I mean I feel so, I mean so... Aliiive, like you have no clue.
"Yur, we gave them muthafuckas a chance and then loddy doddin' bitches chose Shiishiigami. Like come the fuck on, word fuckin' TO!" Jah'malle shouts as he hits our built in bar. Pouring us all drinks whilst hitting a little jig on his lonely lonesome.
"Aye, I love those moves of yours, Jah'malle. Brew me a nice bloody Gaia, on the double!!" Kokonovski Disfigure, the All-Seer demands as she smacked the table. Jah'malle laughed and threw a glass up with a nice sphere of liquid following it. It landed in front of her with the sphere faking perfectly within with some ice and a straw to follow. We all out in orders and got them delivered on the double, in the same fashion. Who knew he was so good at tending to our bar. Someone should make that a duty... A tender of baaars, or to that degree.
"Shi'Ho-ho, braaah! Are you taking us back to Auntie Anastasia or naaaah?" Dila asked after chugging his cup. He's a lightweight, I'm not sugarcoating that shit whatsoever. Just a fucking lightweight!
"Yes, and then I'll have to get you to bed, I told to stop drinking like that, besty!" Shi'Ho-ho shouted.
"Ugh, Snowrunt, get him!" She demanded as he flipped over trying to walk towards the control panel.
"Mhm, can't even handle yer mead. What a sad God you are, my lovely baby, you!" She tossed Dila on her shoulder and gave a thumbs up to Shi'Ho-ho, Ri-oh'dioh, and Timozzia. As did the rest of us sitting at the dining tables and bar booths. This gave them the go ahead to Jump through the many verses and bring us back to mine and ZeeNastasia's home.
It was there that we would report the results of our mission and turn in. Completing our first mission as a team and advancing our bond even further. Solidifying that we can carry out group missions with ease. It made us all bright and brimming with curiosity for what would be next. Never suspecting that the darkness my parents and masters warned us of. Would come to pass so soon!
This would be the dark days...
Within a dark arc...
