"Tch, I could give a divine rat's ass about you being THE Shiitania. I'm not taking kindly to that tone there!" ZeeNastasia stepped forward along with YeeRashuri. Poising Clarissa to join her cousin at her side.
"You think I give a fuck about what you take kindly to or not, Big Zee... Big Yee!? I asked you a simple set of questions. Answer them accordingly, that's an order!" Shiitania states while using a very disrespectful tone.
"Hey, there's no need to talk to her like that at a time like this. We've got people to save!" I shouted as stepped between them.
"M-Mrhm... N-N-NRRRRRGH!! CHILL THE FUCK OUUUUUUTT!!!" Heemy shouted as the tears in his eyes evaporated. It didn't take long for his eyes to go from sorrow filled to rageful.
"You can all discuss it AFTER we save my people and repair my home, got it!?" Heemy shouted as he looked at everyone present.
"Prince ReighHeem is right, I cannot sense the ability to use Regen within a lot of these individuals present. Meaning it's up to us to help them heal and return to normal. Let's accomplish that, please." My pops stated as he picked Z'lusha up off the ground at the same time that Yee, My mama, and I picked up the pieces of Rosareideem. The others collected the remaining surviving deities found on the battlefield.
We carried everyone to the royal hospital to be treated and healed of their wounds. Little did we know that the visitor would set his own restrictions on even our ability to heal these grievous wounds. Knowing this now, we requested that the founders of Young STRIFE go out and fix the damages and help save the civilians. The rest of stayed to try and fix the people who were affected by him the most. The task at hand took us nearly half a day to complete, nullifying his ability over time. Once we did, we managed to heal everyone and reattach their limbs as best we could. Though... Rosareideem and Z'lusha used their bodies to save everyone from his greatest attacks. They were now diagnosed with a complete comatose state of being. Ri-oh'dioh merely shook his head as he looked at their perfectly revitalized bodies and shuddered. Everyone copied his ability to use his essence for acute diagnostics and finally saw what he saw.
"Their bodies have been laced with the essence of the strange visitor and CANNOT be reversed unless one of us is stronger, than him, learns to control this odd concept better than him, or we do the one thing outside of being stronger that seems virtually impossible right now. And that's to defeat him somehow and either force him to deactivate it or somehow kill him." Ri-oh'dioh relayed this message to all of us telepathically.
"Mhm... This all makes sense then, considering the amount of times Rosareideem and Z'lusha hopped in the way. But I must be completely honest with you all... That strange man with strange concepts and essence is like something we've never hoped to face before. His power is unmatched and all we could manage was tearing his Silhouette suit up a bit. It was heartbreaking and frustrating to have to deal with!" Coconoco stated as she plopped herself up within the medical bed.
She looked over at my mother and father-in-law to check and see if they were awake yet. But to everyone's surprise, the King and Queen were in just as bad of shape as Rosareideem and Z'lusha. All four were now well beyond merely waking up. Ri-oh'dioh ran a few tests with the help of Tjaye, son of Simosses and Xenoshaa, daughter of Xenophia the Strife Goddess. Upon reaching the same conclusion after five total tests, they came back into the room to give us all an actual analysis on the situation with the four who have yet to wake up.
Just like their conditions with the not being able to regenerate. The visitor laced his essence directly on the brains and souls of these four only, the real targets for his raid. He must've viewed them as four nuisances he COULD not ignore if he wants to succeed here. He must've been watching our lives for quite some time before finally deciding to make a move on us all. Seeing as he strategically attacked the verse and purposely left hefty amounts of essence lingering about. All so he could distract us long enough to fight them. Tricking everyone including these four brave souls into a bout we were never going to win. He's forcing them to slumber with amounts of essence not even my mama and pops can erase successfully. It's no wonder he retreated as fast as he did. He wanted to recover the large load of essence he left being in their bodies without being disturbed.
"Ok, so now we know all of this, and we know what needs to be done to stop it. Yet... I don't see a way to do that yet. I-I mean none of us have even learned how to fully control our Infinity forms yet-
"Babe... It doesn't fucking matter anymore. I-I don't care that he was able to dismantle yours and my sister-in-law's attacks. I don't care that he crushed everyone with overwhelming might. A-ALLL I CARE ABOUT is- tssss.... J-Just making sure to save them and eliminating him by any means. Because we don't know when, nor WHO he'll do this to next. All of our families are in danger. After all, my mother and father are only the ninth strongest couple amongst our powerful leaders. That's nine other threats to him and ones he'll need to attack to avoid taking on the WHOLE FUCKING VERSE!!" Heemy explained as he hovered over his parents. Wearing the face of someone fighting more tears whilst pleading with Prono. A deity to deity and a hope we all look towards. He pleads with his eyes, hoping this can be fixed before we risk our lives against this fiend.
"This is truly the dibocle here. We'll have to somehow find ways to master our final stages and gain some kind of upper hand here!" ZeeNastasia stated.
But just as she stated this, all of the founders of Young STRIFE returned from successfully repairing the clan's extensive damage using their essence in its purest form. They were given an invention our three scientists made. The items created are called Essence Pouches and they work the exact same way as a blood infusion. They take the tube attached to the pouches and allow it to temporarily attach itself anywhere on their person. Then absorb the endless bounty of essence every royal family within the civilizations of the Annihilation verse came together to donate. It easily brought back all the essence they've lost. Soon after recovering, Shiitania walked over to my Heemy and rubbed his back.
"It'll be alright, we'll make sure to fix this, for we eight will be joining Annihilo-Sect temporarily." Shiitania states.
"Before ANY of you say anything. It was mission given to the eight of them by the Grand Council, ZeeNihilo, and I. I think you all know why?" My mama asked.
"Yeah, and it's fine with me so it's fine with all of us! We'll need your help, considering my parents are targets as well!" I shook the hands of their entire group, which then turned into our group and there's introducing themselves officially. Though that would quickly come to an end when an error feeling of literal Death took over our current location.
"Good, glad to be accepted, but I still have this pressing matter to discuss. What is he, and what are the two of you, YeeRashuri and ZeeNastasia??" Shiitania asked as she placed her hands on both of their shoulders. Crazy part is, most of us in Annihilo-Sect are close to nine feet tall or above it. These two were above it, yet... Young STRIFE still surpassed them by a foot and a half. Like what the actual fuc-
"Hmph, we cannot tell you what any of the three of us are. Just know... We share the same genetic code as the ones who created this very Omniverse." ZeeNastasia states.
"Ah, so you're no different than... Mhm." She turned to face Clarissa who nodded her head as if she was agreeing with something.
"Ah, so you are well versed after all, eh? Well keep what you know on the hush hush. As far as this stranger goes though...
"He's a higher grade of our species known as a Conceptual Lord. He's immensely powerful and capable of ending the very existence of twenty whole Colossaverses at once." YeeRashuri explained .
"Hmph... So he's no different than ol' Taipanevil the Stuliathan. He was known as the Archduke of EVIL. The only enemy to ever defeat STRIFE in our history." My pops responded.
"Hmm... Quite the debacle we have in our hands then. It's going to take a lot to reverse what has happened here, but I believe we can do it. We have to... Or many lives can be lost in his pursuit to kill all of Annihilo-Sect." Clarissa explained. She looked at Heemy who was still a bit distraught over his parents' conditions.
You could tell that everyone was feeling the pressure, even Young STRIFE and my parents as well. And whilst we all prepared ourselves for this war against a most formidable for. That same foe was lurking within the shadows of the verse, awaiting what our next move would be. Observing our verse and whatever threats he could determine from his current location. That location was none other than our base found at the center of the Colossaverse none of us had any idea he was there, standing in top of it and scanning it's contents whilst we deal with what he did. At this point, he was winning this battle with ease. But that wouldn't be the case forever, and even he knew this to be a fact. A fact he'd come to experience within the next two weeks' time.
Within that time, everyone who was able and ready to go went about scouring the verse for any whereabouts on the visitor. Now that we have thirty-two members strong in our side. We splits into four groups of eight and ran tandem searches with the leaders of the verse. As well as with the Cock Tribe's many members. Everyone was working together to protect the verse from this grand threat. Despite all of this, we still couldn't gain any leads in this frivolous bastard. He went silent for those entire two weeks, which made us only grow in frustration. Keeping our eyes peeled as take breaks from the constant search for the visitor.
All thirty-two members of Annihilo-Sect returned to our base to get rest a bit. As well as share notes in the places we were able to touch down on. Creating a large list and marking off he placed and universe that have been completely looked through and thoroughly checked.
"Mhm... So we've already knocked out most of the fourth quadrant in these last two weeks with the help of everyone. But still no leads, and no closer to curing my parents." Heemy clenched his fists tightly whilst looking at the list. Hoping to figure something out whilst studying what else we'll have to go and look into.
"It would seem so, this strange visitor is very cunning and well equipped for this kind of warfare. A true veteran." Odin explained to everyone as he and Kokonovski continue to search using their All-Seer abilities.
"What do you suppose he's been waiting for?" Yosiah asked.
"Aye uce, I was thinking that he's more than likely waiting for another precise moment to strike another threat and knock them off the list, eh?" Melumini'itii thought out loud.
"Hm... That's not a bad guess at all. May even very well be what he's hoping for." Shi'Ho-ho replied.
"Ai, it definitely be what he's hoping for 'ere. I mean haven't you all noticed his essence lingering above our base? It means the sorry lass has been 'ere." Snowrunt states as she floated to the ceiling and placed her hand directly below where he once stood.
"Wait, the bloke was here? Doesn't that mean he knows the distance from'ere ta every clan and civilization now, mates?" Theodore asked with a whole lot of concern behind his voice and tone.
"I would assume so. He's shown great levels if intellect and he's really good with in the fly improvising. We have to be on our toes and ready to leave the second we get our stamina back." YeeNessa gave her thoughts as well.
"Mhm... Use the ship's extra supply to replenish the essence we all list in these last two weeks. We're going to need it!" ZeeNastasia commanded.
"Wait what, why are we-
"She's saying she can feel that he's about to make a move, Lil Zee." Shiitania states.
"Tch, already... But which clan is he-
We all stopped as we heard an alarm going off on our clan radar. It showed us where the visitor was heading next. No matter where he's going, one of us within this group will be facing tensions as high as the Northern Colossaverse spatial wall. We waited about five seconds before we were alerted about the specific clan chosen, only... There was more than one alert. One was being sent to us by the BreakEmpire, Breakson Basho, and the other was coming from the Dismantle Clan, Dismantlaarhg. Timones beloved home he makes sure to visit five times a year.
"Woah... Two signals!? Seriously!?!" YeeRashuri banged her hands on the base's massive command board in disbelief.
"He's trying to separate us. Everyone knows that Breakson Basho is one of the further civilizations from Dismantlaarhg-
"My home!? He's attacking MY HOME!? My parents, siblings, family friends and people could very well be in extreme danger. I've got no time to waste!!" Timone used his essence to force open the roof of the ship. Flying out towards the direction of his home.
"This bastard's going to pay! I'm right behind you, Timone!!" Heemy managed to slip by me and run after Timone. Both of them were being swallowed by different emotions that produced the same results.
"TIMOOONE!??!" Sinnthia and Timozzia shouted. They looked towards me with concern and didn't hesitate to race after them, despite me shaking my head at the idea.
"HEEEMMYY!!! Timone, Sinnthia- grgh.. Timozzia!! Tch- tssssk- NRRGH~Damn it all... I suspect the visitor to be going to both locations. We'll split up evenly and head to both. Whichever group finds him, alert the other so we can pounce on this son of a bitch! Got it!?" I asked everyone as I started charging my essence.
"Indeed, let's head out with any twelve members wanting to support and rescue Timone and ReighHeem Jr, going after them. The remaining sixteen will head towards Breakson. Alright?" Clarissa explained to everyone.
"Mhm... Good plan, now... Annihilate the task, ANNIHILO-SECT!!!" I shouted as I gave the roaring command to go after our current targets. Everyone raced out of our base with blitzing speeds. Shi'Ho-ho forms our ship and releases one of the three large scout ships created by all three scientists. Each one made their own and added it to the ship during its upgrading. Ri-oh'dioh decided to race off with he other group, taking the scout ship along with him.
"Alright, you busters!! Let's get going!! Annihiship... Jump to Dismantlaarhg!" Shi'Ho-ho commanded just as we all braced ourselves.
The ship took off at alarming speeds as it warped beyond the very confines of the universes and Colossaverses. Enlarging it's cosmic form as it is now transcending the very boundaries and laws of space belonging to a universe or multiverse. Instead, we travel through the Clusterverses. Jumping through each one before a second could ever hope to pass by. This allowed us to swoop in and lick up Timone, Timozzia, Sinnthia, and Heemy. All four of them looked distraught and desperate to make it there. But to travel at speeds that fast without a ship would cost them much needed essence just in case we have to fight such a formidable wall!
"ETA in t-minus... Five... Four...
Everyone listens as Shi'Ho-ho counted down. Watching as the glorious clan that is Dismantlaarhg comes into view.
Three...
So many different emotions were causing all of us to tremble and shake violently with anticipation. Seeing the clan come into view with dazzling lights... Lights that were NEVER there before.
Two...
Just as we left the warp gate created by the ship's speed. We came to bare witness to countless explosions of varying essence signatures going off. As well as a sight none of us would ever hope to see, but here we are being forced to witness it. The actual destruction and war-torn state of a clan. One that was once a sphere, but now is in the shape of a crescent of average size. Like a moon in the middle of its waning or waxing period.
One...
But the worst of it all was having the watch Timone slowly break down as he looked onward. We all sat and watched his father, leader of the clan. A hole bludgeoned deep into his naval and chest cavity. This same God fearlessly charged in head first into a clash with a figure wearing nothing more than a black silhouette with a bright, white out line. Both of them were roughing towards one another with massive attacks at the ready.
...Z-Zero?"
Shi'Ho-ho began to shed tears along with many others. We raced out of the ship and into the war, watching as Timone's loving father delivered a final strike as he looked over to see the crying face of his son. Without any words, he smiled and laughed sinisterly as he dove in. Sending out an essence signal filled with the proud moments of his long life. And at the Pinnacle of it was the birth of Timone and the start to the best chapters of his long life.
"Timone.... Be well."
"No, no no..... NOOOOOOOOO!!!
DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE US... FATHEEEEERRRRR!!!!"
