War Part Six

The very next day Naesrio set out towards Arbok City, leading an army of a hundred thousand Bio-Humans.

Kuro, Kyo, Ako, and Agaki awaited them deep in the wastelands.

Naesrio flew several meters above his army as he neared the four.

Kyo took a deep breath.

Kuro went into his Thunder God form. "This won't go like last time."

Naesrio looked at his opponents. "Just four of them?"

Naesrio held out his hand, signaling his army to attack.

The mass of humanoid soldiers started charging at Kyo and the others, yelling and screaming inhuman noises.

Kuro put his hands on the ground. "I don't have time for this!! Kekku Kinku!!!"

Blue lightning stormed through the ground, stretching over a hundred meters through the rocky dirt.

All of the humanoids exploded, raining green blood all over the ground.

Naesrio didn't expect them to take out his entire army at once, much less from one person.

"You..." Naesrio said. "Are you the one who killed my brother?"

Kuro's eyes were filled with hatred. "No. But I will be the one to kill you."

Naesrio grinned wildly. "Oh really? Interesting. Then, I'll show you the power of a God of Destruction!"

Naesrio's all black eyes suddenly glowed red. Out of their darkness appeared the Eyes of Destruction.

Naesrio raised both of his hands out in front of him, one above the other.

Highly compressed energy started forming between his hands. One energy was red, one was orange, the others were yellow and pink. They mixed and fused with each other with the colorful intensity of fire.

Yellow lightning momentarily emitted from the mass.

After he was finished, Naesrio casually transferred the energy over to his right hand and let it fall to the ground.

On impact the energy broke through the ground and caused an explosion similar to a high-powered nuclear bomb with enough force to destroy a large island.

Energy explosions and dust clouds flew up into the air like lava out a volcano.

After the explosions, the ground was burned up and had red cracks in it from hot rock.

Steam slowly rose from the ground.

Naesrio admired his work. "Wonderful." He noticed a large matte black orb on the ground.

It slowly opened up where Kuro and the others were.

Kyo had covered his team with solidified Mystic energy.

As soon as the orb was gone, Agaki shot a massive beam of light at Naesrio, who seamlessly flew left to dodge.

Agaki continued to shoot beams of light to keep Naesrio moving, but couldn't hit him.

Kyo and Kuro both charged at him at the same time simultaneously.

Both Kyo was moving at the speed of sound, and Kuro moved at the speed of light.

Naesrio still easily kept up with the two.

Kyo and Kuro eventually managed to force Naesrio to put his feet on the ground.

Agaki then stopped shooting his light beams as he and Ako rushed Naesrio as well.

Naesrio was dealing with four opponents in four directions, constantly turning and spinning as he countered and dodged attacks.

As his eyes darted around, back and forth, Naesrio quickly and smoothly bent down and made a sweeping kick in a full circle that emitted a red flare of energy. "Destruction!"

Everyone jumped upwards to avoid the attack.

A chime sounded and a large piece of the ground instantly disappeared.

Agaki looked down at the deep crater. "He instantly destroyed that much?"

Kyo went into his Omega Form. "Follow my lead."

Kyo's God Staff formed in his hands. "Ako, help me out."

She nodded and made a double edged spear out of her energy.

The two of them flew at Naesrio. He narrowed his eyes. "What are you thinking?"

Kyo swung his staff, hitting Naesrio's forearm as he blocked the attack.

Naesrio noticed how strong the staff was. "I see. It's made out of Mystic energy. Very well."

Naesrio's body started giving off a pink energy glow. He began fighting Ako and Kyo at the same time.

"What are they doing?" Kuro asked.

Agaki thought on it for a moment. He looked around at the crater Naesrio created. He calculated its measurements.

"47.2 meter radius. The deepest point from the surface is 18.6 meters..."

Kuro watched him work.

Agaki looked around. "If I triple the size..." He stared at one side of the crater.

It instantly broke up, growing wider and deeper.

As he spun around he evened out the sides, making the crater thrice as large.

Naesrio noticed. He quickly flew upwards some. "What are you down there planning?"

Kyo glanced down. He spoke to Ako. "Go up there with him."

Ako turned her spear into two large battle axes.

She charged Naesrio yelling out with conviction.

Naesrio thought to himself as he was fighting her. "This girl is by far the weakest of the four. But she has incredible weapon mastery. She's leaving no openings while swinging heavy weapons with great speed. I should start fighting more seriously."

Naesrio charged up. He quickly disappeared and appeared higher in the air.

Kyo swung his staff as a great deal of water came out of it. He formed a whirlpool as the crater turned into a lake.

Agaki and Kuro were standing on top of it, emitting lightning from the soles of their feet.

Naesrio held a hand in the air. A red sphere that was twice his size formed. "World Destruction."

Kuro started vibrating. He went into Form L.

Naesrio let his attack fall on them.

"Can you handle that?" Kuro asked Agaki.

"Already on it." he said.

Agaki stared at the space around the attack. The space around the World Destruction crunched, forcing the sphere to stay in its place.

He compressed the space down to the subatomic level.

Naesrio chuckled. "So he can manipulate the molecules around him. What an ability."

Agaki froze the air in that area, then put it inside a ball of rock.

He put it in his hand and handed it to Kuro.

Kuro disappeared and reappeared back to the same spot in less than a second.

Naesrio looked around. "Where's the-"

BOOM.

He looked up. A red cloud of an explosion could barely be seen in the daylight.

He frowned. "Space? He can move that-"

Kuro uppercutted him in his chin, landing a clear blow. He started punching Naesrio repeatedly, millions of times a second, giving him no chance to recover or use an attack.

"I can't see him!! I can't see his attacks!! He's moving faster than light speed! Impossible!!!" Naesrio thought.

Kuro got above Naesrio and crashed him into the makeshift lake.

The very moment Naesrio touched the water, Kuro kicked him further into the ground.

The speed Kuro moved at superheated the lake. It was boiling now.

Agaki flew into the air and bonded Naesrio with dark energy.

Kuro zapped back up to where he was and left his Form L. He was still conscious since he didn't use up his five minutes. His body was still tore up though.

While Agaki held Naesrio underneath the electrocuted boiling water, Kyo blew a great ball of fire into it, starting an explosion.

The water shot thousands of feet into the air, and the pressure caused an earthquake, as the force pushed deeper into the ground.

Back in Arbok City, Akasan was leaving the Royal Palace on his way home from training. He wasn't allowed to fight Naesrio with the others for obvious reasons.

He went downtown as a detour, taking the longer way back, as he was in no rush to face Kagami again.

He saw a mysterious figure in a brown hooded shawl standing in the middle of a crowd.

Akasan turned away and thought nothing of it until he felt an energy.

Akasan quickly turned around. "What is he thinking?! There's innocent people here!!"

Akasan yelled as loud as he could. "EVERYONE!!! GET AWAY FROM HERE!!! NOW!!!!"

The crowd of people panicked, and started running as fast as they could from the area.

The hooded figure smiled manically. "Awww. But I wanted to play with them."

Akasan went into his crimson form. "Who are you?! Take off the hood!"

A white colored hand reached out of the shawl and grabbed the front of the hood.

"If you're asking for my name, then it would be Kaos..." He ripped off the shawl. "But who am I? Even I don't know the answer to that anymore!!!"

Akasan frowned at the sight of a man who had no color to his skin at all, just pure white with white hair and gray eyes.

He had a large scar in the middle of his chest, with a small blue jewel in the center of it. Thick veins were latched onto the sides of it like the jewel was his heart.

Kaos also had surgical scars on the sides and back of his body.

Kaos started yelling wildly as blue misted energy came from his body. "I heard there was a war going on to destroy the First Order! I'm not a part of that but it sounded so fun!!!"

Akasan was now the only person in the area.

"Hey kid!!" Kaos said.

Akasan looked at him. "What?"

Kaos appeared directly in front of his face.

His expression was so deranged. He looked sick. "You're a Knight right? Where's Kyo?"

Akasan frowned. "He isn't here."

Kaos took a step back and yelled at the sky. "He isn't here?!! Of course he isn't! He's probably fighting for his country right now huh?!" He swung his arm and knocked Akasan into a nearby building. "I don't wanna fight some kid!! I want someone strong!!"

Kaos fell silent for a few moments. Then his face lit up. "I know!! I'll destroy the city!! Then when Kyo comes back he'll have no choice but to fight me!!"

Akasan burst out of the building and attacked Kaos, who nodded his head to the side to dodge him.

Kaos looked Akasan's way with murderous intent. "You've got balls kid. You wanna die? Come on then."

Akasan ran at him and started attacking.

Kaos blocked every one of his attacks and kneed him in the stomach, then turned around and kicked him in the head with his heel, knocking him into a brick wall. He grabbed Akasan out of it and threw him several hundred feet in the air into a skyscraper.

Kaos then jumped, leaving a crater in the ground as he bolted head first into the hole he threw Akasan in.

A blue explosion of energy lit the upper third of the building when Kaos hit it.

Kaos kicked Akasan out of the building and then put his knee to his chest as he fell with him to the ground with a crash.

Kaos looked him in the face when the dust cleared, still on top of him.

Akasan was groaning in pain.

"What about you kid? Who are you? Do you know who you are?"

Akasan gritted his teeth through the pain, looking up at Kaos through one eye. "What do you mean who am I? I'm... Akasan."

Kaos grinned. "Not your name, idiot. I asked who are you? Why do you exist?"

Akasan grunted. "Stop asking me weird questions!"

Kaos got off of him and took two steps back. "See? You don't know either. No one does. We're all just mindlessly walking around on this world, clinging to fragile promises and beliefs. That's what it means to be human. But guess what?"

Akasan got up slowly, watching Kaos talk.

Kaos looked at the sky. "I've seen people who shouldn't even be physically possible. Experiments, lab rats, archangels, even some of the gods themselves. Just monsters. They look down on us like insects, like a plague to this planet. So what are we then? Who am I?!"

---

Kyo, Kuro, Agaki, and Ako all waited for the steam and dust to clear up.

The lake they had made was bone dry now, and at the bottom of it was Naesrio, laid down on his back with his eyes closed.

After what felt like a few minutes, he suddenly opened his eyes. "Humans. I see that some of you have evolved, but you still have a long ways to go. Unfortunately for you that time will never come to pass."

Naesrio floated out of the imprint in the ground and onto his feet. He looked up at the four of them. "Hurrrrr..."

Naesrio started charging his energy. Pebbles and small rocks started floating. "HURAAAH!!"

His spiritual pressure made the crater suddenly deeper.

"It's not over yet..." Kyo said.

Agaki looked at Kyo and Ako. They were clearly still shaken up from what happened yesterday. He really felt bad.

None of them even got the time to think it over or properly mourn their friends' deaths. And Kuro could only barely manage his Voltage ability in the state he was in.

Naesrio hadn't taken even the slightest bit of visual damage yet.

Agaki closed his eyes for a few seconds to charge his energy. His eyes turned black, with a glowing yellow pattern in each eye. The Molecular Telekinesis pattern.

Yellow marks that resembled tears flowed down his face until they stopped at his jawline.

A black glow outlined Agaki's body.

A bright yellow cloak of energy formed over him, with a black circle on the back.

Agaki looked back at the others. "I'll hold him off for now. You three rest."

Kuro frowned. "Agaki... you aren't a combat specialist... at least let me fight too."

Agaki gave him a reassuring smirk. "Trust me. I've got this. Regain your energy first."

Kyo and Ako nodded. They went to go sit down on a large rock not too far away.

Agaki looked down at Naesrio from the air.

Naesrio looked up at him. "I must admit, you've got a lot of confidence in yourself to face me alone." He started scowling. "I feel disrespected."

Agaki was unwavering. "I never really cared about your feelings in the first place."
