Fate

Inian's kingly form radiated more power than ever seen before. The monsters that were lurking closer now started slowly moving away.

"Inian!" a shout came from behind him. Inian turned around to see a man with an aura like ice about to stab a spear into his back. Inian moved forward just in time before the spear penetrated.

Once he moved, however, Jonah launched forward in a fast blur and threw a punch at Inian.

Inian raised his arms to block but was launched up into the air.

Suddenly, a roar came from a little way behind him as Burt activated all the automatons. One hundred machines flew out from the vehicle and came charging at Demarcus and Jonah as well as the monsters on the ground. About 20 split up to help Inian while the rest went and fought the monsters on the ground and protected Burt.

Jonah roared and flew up to grab an automaton. It turned rotted and turned into dust in his hand.

"You can't win Inian! Just accept your fate now! The king was always meant to be brought down!"

Inian put his hands together, and massive amounts of lightning streaked in between his fingers.

He yelled are launched lightning towards Demarcus.

Demarcus stretched out his hand and turned it. When he did that, the air around the lightning bolt dropped to extreme temperatures, freezing it in place.

"I alone can kill you Inian, don't make this difficult," Demarcus said.

Demarcus launched towards Inian with his hand outstretched and a wicked smile on his face.

"Stop Demarcus! It's not safe!" Jonah yelled.

Demarcus ignored his brother's yelling and continued charging in the air towards Inian.

Inian smiled once Demarcus was close, but at this point, it was too late for Demarcus to do anything about it.

Before Demarcus reached Inian, he felt his heart give out a little bit. His heartbeat skipped a beat, and then it jumped another. 'What?' He thought before Inian grabbed his neck.

Inian stared at Demarcus with his cold black eyes, "both of your abilities are impressive but not as impressive as mine. My power...is death."

Demarcus screamed and shook as he felt his body being torn to shreds. He couldn't stop shaking. He felt his soul, rending from his body, and could see his body as he left it. It slumped over in Inian's grip.

Demarcus's soul was sucked into Inian's body, where it continued feeling the pain of its death, as long as Inian was alive.

"NOOOOO!!" Screamed Jonah as Inian dropped the body. Inian glanced over at Jonah and smirked, "you both are not worth the dirt under my shoe, and you will suffer in an equal way to the annoyance you've caused me."

Jonah clenched his teeth and sent a shockwave from his body, shaking Inian, but destroying all 19 automatons up in the air next to them.

He launched up towards Inian, transforming into his true form as he went. He became a mighty one hundred meters long dragon with massive wings and devastating teeth and claws.

Jonah breathed fire at Inian, but Inian countered it with a large blast of misty ice.

Inian continued launching ice spikes, lava balls, and lightning bolts at Jonah's dragon body. He bombarded Jonah with numerous powers and abilities. Jonah roared in pain, and Inian transformed himself as well.

He became a massive wolf with wings on his back. His size was even greater than that of Jonah's, and he charged in to bite Jonah's scaly neck.

Jonah quickly turned around and bit Inian's neck instead. Inian yelped in pain but fought him off using his claws and abilities.

Ice spikes formed in the air and were fired into Jonah's eyes.

"RRAAAGGHHH!!" Jonah roared.

He changed back into his human form and was on his knees on the ground with blood running down from each of his eyes.

Inian remained in his wolf form, "for your transgressions against the king; I hereby condemn you to suffer without your soul! You will be in pain for as long as I am alive."

Jonah put his hands down by his side, "I don't regret what I did. I fought to save monsters! Not control them! You have always been just a tyrant, your majesty!!"

Inian bit Jonah's head off and sucked his soul out of his body.

Once Inian saw his victory, he looked up to the sky and howled. He changed his form back into a human.

Looking over, he saw that the monsters defeated all the automatons, but the remaining ones shivered and cowered under Inian's gaze and presence.

"Inian! We did it! You don't have to be in that form anymore. You can go back to Janae and live normally." Burt yelled.

He came running up to Inian but was stopped when Inian looked at him with disgust and disdain.

"Stay away from me, weakling!"

Burt started walking away, and Inian talked to himself, "there will never be a rebellion again. I will kill all monsters...so there will be no more to fight me left."

He raised his hand and blasted lightning at the monsters in the field, annihilating them.

After that, he spread his wings about to jump when Burt yelled, "wait, Inian! Please! If you do this, you won't be able to come back. You'll become something you're not!"

Inian waved his hand back, and this simple motion blasted air strong enough to knock Burt over.

"You will not question my motives! I have a responsibility as the king, and that is to destroy every single rebel out there!"

Inian flew into the air, leaving Burt with tears running down his face.
