My Powers Came Back! 2

*BOOM!!*

The entire "Hold" shook vigorously, suffering from what seemed to be an immense earthquake. They had been hit by a massive heatwave and ultraviolet radiation; the product of a great explosion.

The Hold tilted, turning sideways and destabilizing everyone; the prisoner, his tormentor, and all of his tormentor's minions, and forcing them all to fall in one direction.

In that brief moment when everyone was thrown aside, Gorak noticed the lights on his power-limiters flinch for a millisecond and he felt his powers surging back into his body like he was conducting electricity.

His powers were coming back!

...

But before he could even receive up to 20% of his powers restored, the power-limiters stabilized, sucking him dry of his powers once again, and the tremors stopped.

He couldn't believe it.

'My powers came back?' startled, he looked down at the power-limiters on his wrists.

'All but for less than a second, but, seems so...

This means there's hope! I can get out!'

His eyes glistened with glee.

'If it's happened once, it will happen again, and when it does, I'll be ready.', he determined within himself.

"Aw... ah... ohw"

The grunts of prison guards getting off their butts and nursing their now swelling bumps obtained from the accident crawled through his ears and he immediately realised, everyone had been distracted, and only he had noticed his powers return for a moment.

He would not be stupid enough to give anything away.

He would get out. He would show them all! But for now, he had to wait it out.

...

"Get up!"

Chalding was irritated to see the prisoner still crouched and lying on his side against the bars within his cage when everyone else was already up. He had to be up to no good.

"Huh..." Gorak let out a little chuckle and raised himself. Then he gave Chalding a deathly stare, a smirk plastered on his face all the while.

Looking back at him now, Chalding felt something was off. Gorak was giving him a darker, much more hateful stare, and a new fire burned in his eyes. Chalding was immediately uncomfortable.

Pretending to be unfazed, he responded, still maintaining his confident smile.

"Good."

He turned around in one swift movement and walked off. As he did, his smile became a dark scowl.

Gorak had a renewed confidence. He was definitely up to something, and Chalding hated not knowing what. They had to prepare for whatever.

"Phillipe. Tighten security on all four inner gates. Set our location to change once every two days. And cancel my vacation!

Gorak will attempt another escape soon. We cannot let him succeed.

The fate of all existence depends on it."

"Yes sir".

"Also, find out what hit us. Whatever it was was strong enough to shake the very foundations and tilt the entire facility.

Fortify the grounds. Increase external air pressure to 90%. Whatever hit us would hit again. We best be prepared." Chalding continued to roll out orders.

Gorak watched Chalding walk off slightly frustrated.

'Just a smirk had thrown him off... Looks like the guy is pretty intelligent', he chuckled at his own thoughts, enjoying the fact that he had intimidated Chalding for a moment.

'There is no way he can guess that the power-limiters were affected. He also can't guess the day I make my big escape because I myself cannot know.

This is perfect. I just have to wait it out.

This time, I will succeed!', he smiled a dark smile.

It was a wonder. What was so strong it could give off electromagnetic waves strong enough to shake the very foundations of The Hold?

There was only one thing in existence powerful enough to do that... a giant star about to explode!

...

***Far far away, even farther away in Space than The Hold***

*Whoosh!... Whoosh!...*

A massive star (a red hypergiant) radiates fire and burning heat in waves of colourful, dangerous flames, attempting to burn up everything that exists.

Over 10 billion times larger than UY Scuti, the biggest star known to mankind, and a billion times hotter than the sun, no one knows exactly how long this star has existed, but it is the oldest entity in existence, known to have been created from before the creation of the first Keeper/god.

Burning out the last bit of the hydrogen in its core, it gives forth the last few and strongest of its outbursts; the last of its life, in powerful, explosive waves of flames, like the scream of the attacked in the dead of the night, that comes before death.

Guttural, vigorous, energetic, after which, this being will reach its end... Death. The fate of all living things that exist.

In this world, energy was not lost but transferred, and this old star, acknowledging that it had reached its death, was looking for an Heir.

A Host. To which it would transfer all of its dormant power. The host would be the very embodiment of the most powerful existence, holding great power; greater than the most powerful Keepers!

It would be the greatest energy source that ever existed, with power capable of destroying the Multiverse, the realms, and even Keepers.

Any who could locate such power and possess it for himself would be truly invincible; the greatest being in existence, much inferior to the Creator of course, but greater than the most powerful Keeper.

It certainly was a power to covet.

Of what form would this Host be?

No one knew yet because the old star was still searching for her Heir.

All the Keepers knew was that this star was one of the Creator's magnificent weapons created, and that she was soon to die in an incredible explosion.

Occasionally, she gave out a terrible outburst, reaching farther across the Universe than the last, to find this Heir before her death.

What hit the Hold was the most recent of her outbursts. And she is still yet to find her Host. So she is gearing up for another terrible outburst. The very last one before her death.

Called ENOUKA, a name given her by the gods, the troubles of this star were not unknown to them. She was dormant, yet her power was so great, it could not be contained even by her massive size. So it spilled more and more as she aged.

Over the past few years, she emanated intense atmospheric pressure that pulled in entire galaxies; the three closest to her, which she consumed in flames causing massive explosions.

Her successive outbursts, extremely powerful stellar winds and ultraviolet radiation had only made her grow more and more dangerous with each passing day, being the single cause of several Cosmic natural disasters.

The Keepers had found themselves relocating the entire inhabitants of planets to save them from her destruction, and the worst was still yet to come. The Enouka was going to explode in a Supernova.

Imagine the explosion of a star as big as The Void. That would be Carnage.

The End.

An Apocalypse.
