108.) Shiishii and Haydes! The Interference of New Arrivals!?

The forces of Haydes, a truly frightening bunch when it comes down to it. Their strength is of a great stature and magnitude for members of only the 'General' rank within the TRUTH. Each was given to him in preparation for the members of Strife II that may or may not be present. Luckily for them, they were and that gave them something to do. Hold the other members at bay so that Haydes may take care of Shiishii. Funny thing was, Shiishii had the exact same plans for Haydes and his forces. They were at a standstill with some battles being in Haydes' favor while others were in Strife's.

Amongst the many battles stood a tag team bout that started as two head to head matches between Colossaverse I Clan royalty. Two Gahwardian heirs fought against Princesses from the likes of the Mightopian and Chi-Gallan Clans. And man were they formidable with their abilities and battle smarts. Boasting IQs as large as Hideaki and Kishin's own. They combine their central techniques for a dangerous creation known as, Perception of Nature!

Hideaki: "So now what?? Can you perceive what nature can?"

Daphne: "Close but not quite. Best to say so long as you're on this planet, we have eyes on you."

Meiza: "Eyes within the wind, heat/flames, earth and water. Even the greenery found all around the planet itself can help us keep our eyes on you two."

Kishin: "You've… got to be joking!"

Hideaki: "I wish they were, but this is serious. Every move we make can be seen and if they're using GAIA'S PLANET as their eyes then…"

Kishin: "We can't outfox them with ANY normal means. But I already have other ways of evening the playing field. So let's get to it! Follow my lead!" *PEW*

Hideaki: "Roger, let's see what you got going, Kishin!" *PEW*

Meiza: "Hmph!" *Grin*

Daphne: "Here they cooome." *FWISH*

Kishin rushes in while communicating via telepathy. He let's Hideaki know to use a Death blast in an obvious manner. Throwing straight at them as they approach Daphne and Meiza. Both prepare themselves, charging essence within their fists for a dual punch. But just as they did, Kishin sped up the attack more than ten fold for a blitz. They both lose track of the attack only to have a blast detonate in their face "out of nowhere."

"Gah! What the hell!?" Meiza says as they dust themselves off, barely evading critical damage from the attack. Daphne is quick to explain what Kishin is capable of as they both ascend higher into the atmosphere. Kishin rushes to just below their location, charging up a kick as he glares up at them. A slew of Physical Zenchi is sent up using his Birthright as the 'cannon' for the shot. He then again uses his study, speeding up the attack tenfold for an instant blitz on their person. They both combine the might of their Presence Zenchi to cancel it out. But just as they succeed…

Hideaki: "HI there!"

Both: "What!?"

Hideaki: "Bone Arts: Martial Master Skeletor!"

A Bone warrior dressed in a martial arts gi came forth from Hideaki's hands. A storming kick is immediately thrown as he enters the fray. Meiza pumps up her forearm with muscle using the sacred technique of the Might Clan. She then proceeds to leap in front of Daphne in order to block the attack. *WHAM*

She was able to withstand the blow, which allowed Daphne to swap places with Kishin and the Skeletor. Her eyes allowed for such a technique by her simply wishing to focus on a new subject. But that also limited her to only being able to bring a being within her person or swap with said being(s). Kishin is thrown off by this and is welcomed by a fist to the face. Hideaki is quick to act and twitches his fingers on his left hand upwards. Commanding the skeleton to return immediately as he rushed forward.

Daphne: (I'm switching again!)

Meiza: (Do it, I'm more than ready Daph!)

They swap places just as Hideaki is prepared to counter. Allowing Meiza to bring about a sphere that trapped Hideaki, his skeleton AND Kishin at once. Meiza then traps a Typhoon of the divine level to bombard them. But it seemed she was a tad too slow as what they saw were merely after images. Only the skeleton was real which is what threw them off to begin with.

Meiza: "What the hell!?"

Daphne: "No worries, I've got them in my sights. Grab my hand!" *Reach*

Meiza: "Mhrm!" *Nod* *GRIP*

They flash away and instantly appear before Kishin and Hideaki. But to their surprise, blasts of Plague and Death were ready and waiting for them. The blasts are let off and the girls quickly swap places just as they approach. Putting Hideaki and Kishin back into harm's way.

Hideaki: "This is what the built up Physical Zenchi is for!"

Daphne: "What!?"

Kishin: "Try and keep up! Ten fold!!!"

*POW* *POW*

Meiza: "Shit!" *PEW*

Meiza leaps forward with her left arm stretched over her torso and neck area. She cocks it back further just as the blasts are about to hit and releases a heavy swing.

"Grand Star's Heat Wave!!!" Meiza yelled out as her arm flew out. A barrier of heat and UV Rays shielded them both from the oncoming attacks. But it could barely hold out as the Plague blast began to infect and annihilate the barrier. Daphne wastes no time in shoving Meiza out of the way.

Daphne: "Thanks for the save, now allow me to return the favor! (I'll coat my glaring essence type with her heat type and expand her attack into our entire zone. Here goes…) *BLING* Perception's Zone of Heat!"

Meiza: "Whoa!"

Kishin: "Holy…" *WHOM*

Hideaki: "... Shit!" *TSSS*

*WOOSH*

A wave of heat filled the zone of Nature that the two Goddesses reigned control over. This same wave burned the attacks as if they were nothing and even charred both Kishin and Hideaki's forearms.

Hideaki: "Damn, even with Armored Zenchi we were still burned."

Kishin: "That's because her sight and perception have been laced in Zenchi since we began using our Studies. She is determined to keep me from bypassing her field of vision."

Hideaki: "Mhm… any plans then?"

Kishin: "Yeah… something not even Shiishii knows I can do. (First I'll send a single Self-split persona into the future as a soul. Speeding them up to the point that they bypass the fabric of time. Then they can quickly travel down the forks of fate and see which outcome will come to pass. And then go with the best one for us.) Mhmph! Speed Ascender!!!"

Daphne: "Hm?!"

Meiza: "N-Nothing happened."

Daphne: "No matter, Magma Carpet!"

Kishin: *FWING* "There!" *FLASH*

Daphne: "What the-" *SMASH*

Hideaki: "The thoughts he just transferred… (Meiza will bring about a skeletal Leviathan to defend them!) Not on my watch! President of Bonez!"

Meiza: "Necromancy: Leviathan of Nature!!"

The Leviathan was summoned just as Hideaki had foretold. It looked like a traditional serpent king of the seas but was instead covered in plant life and sunlight was its halo. It charged head first into where the girls and Kishin were. But instead of wrapping around Kishin, it instead smacked Daphne and Meiza into the floor. *CRASH* *SMASH*

The ground is torn up and many stalagmites come protruding from the floor where they landed. Kishin and Hideaki weren't giving them an inch of leeway.

Hideaki: "Let's keep up the pressure."

Kishin: "Sure thing. (Hm… Shiishii and Haydes' essence levels have finally begun to erupt. The true fight between the two parties… starts here.)"

Just as Kishin mentioned, Shiishii and Haydes were circling around the planet at speeds equal to Kishin's own. Clashing and colliding with waves of Zenchi that split the atmosphere many times over. Shii charges in with his right fist cocked back, summoning a gigantic raging skull behind himself. Haydes counters with a similar tactic, summoning a fleet of soldiers behind him. All their fists cooked back in a similar fashion, swinging at the skull as it closes its jaws on them.

Shiishii: "Zenchi's Meteoric Skull!"

Haydes: "Zenchi's Fists of War!"

The two attacks clash with the jaws of the skull closing down on the jumble of fists flying at it. They light up with an intense and unstable essence. Enlarging their size until they swell to bursting levels. The two lights turn from red and purple into white and exploded. Creating a sphere of violent essence that was equal in size to that of Gaia's planet. The rays of purple and red danced about within the blast. Radiating as it began to dim down and fade into the Cosmos. As it does, a black haze shoots from the bottom of it and enters the atmosphere that had just rebuilt itself.

*WHISP* *CLASH*

The haze buzzes as it shakes and rumbles from what appears to be scuffle from within. A red light beams through and creates many holes as it tries to burst out. The two forces tilt one another over until a full on burst happens, splitting the haze and red essence alike. The two fade into the wind as Shii and Haydes come flying out, fighting in rapid motion with an unmatched intensity.

Shiishii: "Your close quarters skills have grown quite large since we last fought over a year ago."

Haydes: "So has your craftiness in battle. Using a black haze to blind us both, cheeky prick!" *Grin*

Shiishii: "HahaHAAA!" *Grin*

*SMASH*

It took them no more than five seconds to completely descend to the floor below. Within that small window for opportunity, they threw more than one-hundred thousand strikes each. Amongst those thrown strikes were fifty-thousand collisions. Each collision has the force behind it to wipe an entire galaxy without a trace left. Such was the violent nature of a battle between Death and War. They both leap back for a second to regroup. Haydes was quick to take the first chance at getting the drop on Shiishii. This caused him to be hasty and mess up his right handed haymaker strike. Shiishii simply weaved out of the way while throwing a high heel kick to Haydes' chin. *POW*

Haydes is forced to float back a bit from the force of the strike. Shiishii is quick to follow up and float down as he rotates. Spinning twice to his right as he pulls back his right leg. He reaches a point above Haydes' head and sets up a nice crushing kick. Haydes' vision was still blurry and his senses dulled. Leaving the perfect opportunity to land the planned strike. *SMASH* Haydes is kicked on the head and sent flailing into the dirt. Causing a gaiser of dirt to shoot from the ground.

Shiishii: "That's not the end of it! *FWIP* Form of Angelos: WHITE COMET!!!"

Haydes: "Nrgh! (His kicks are as heavy as ever, but I can definitely get him this time. He isn't out of my reach any-) *PEW* … What!?" *GLARE*

A gigantic white ball came hurtling down from the upper atmosphere above Haydes. He keeps his cool as he rises from the dirt, turning his body to face the attack while holding out his left hand. It turns into a dark red tinge and he summons forth the might of HellBlazer. Sending a gigantic ball of HellFire towards Shiishii's attack. Another catastrophic clash was about to occur. They flashed and burst open into even greater balls of light. Only to shrivel in an instant to the size of mere blimps. The two attacks flash between these two sizes for two seconds straight before finally exploding and consuming the lands in a blazing furry. The trees ground and all life around them withered instantly for more than fifty-million miles in all directions. An aftershock blows them away as it follows the rays of Death.

The two stare at one another, smiling as they do. Just waiting to rip the other a new one. Just as a piercing silence held its quake for more than five seconds, Shiishii twitches and causes Haydes to dash away. Shiishii is surprised by this and grits his teeth in aggravation just before flying after his younger brother. They fly around the planet, interfering with nearly every battle as they do. Smashing through Vashjai and Ebon fighting, who were being held down by what seemed to be two Beasmerans.

Vashjai: "What the hell!?"

Ebon: "Was that your brothers flying by like that!?"

They continue onward and find themselves trading blows with Zo'Elgor and a Kirin Native. Haydes gave Zo'El a quick three piece jab combo before knocking him into the floor. Shiishii blocks a kick from the elemental then tail smacks them right next to Zo'Elgor Jr. He smiles at Haydes who was glaring back at him and… causes Death to the distance. Flashing in front of Haydes who hadn't even noticed.

Shiishii: "Looks like Dante and his lil lady over there are next! Go say hi!" *FWIP*

Haydes: "Wha-" *SMACK*

Haydes is sent flying down towards where Dante and his opponent were. Dante had seemed to be frozen in place by a technique. One could deduce that due to the woman standing there having her hand out and aimed at Dante. Note that it was trembling from the effort she had to put forth. She seemed to also be an elemental of high grade. Her skin tight unitard had a universe pattern all over it. As if she were wearing the Cosmos themselves. She raised her right arm while holding the left in place and created a spatial sword. Just as she was about to swing it down, Haydes rammed into her and took her with him. They both smashed into the floor head first, allowing Dante to escape and regroup.

Shiishii: *FWIP* "Yo!" *step*

Dante: "Appreciate that Shii!"

Shiishii: "No prob, I'll be taking this with me. *Grip* See ya brotha!" *FWIP*

Dante: "Y-Yeah!" *Wave*

???: "Damned dirty Gahwardian."

Dante: "Watch your tongue!"

???: "Or what!? You'll read me a story?" *Shrug*

Dante: "Don't get cheeky, my Archive and I are just getting started."

???: "Hmph! *SWISH* We'll see."

The two square off once more just as Shiishii drags Haydes through the entirety of the forest. But… as it was noted, Haydes has closed all gaps. He displays this with his ability to headbutt Shiishii despite the intense face dragging. Upon disrupting his flow, Haydes turns around and kicks Shiishii into the air, dashing after him for a follow up. Shiishii smiles as he looks him in the eye and opens a field of Presence Zenchi. Haydes opens his own only to notice there were three Shii's present now. The one to the right is the first to come flying at Haydes.

Haydes: "I know this trick!"

Haydes dodge's to the right as they both go charging forward. He lunges forward even further as the swift left hook from Shii's clone misses. But a gust of wind comes slapping Haydes in the face, followed by a startling punch that could not be seen. He's sent flying into the clone he dodged earlier, meeting with a kick to the face just as the clone vanishes. He is again sent flying towards the real Shii and the two remaining clones. Out of frustration, he rotates in a fury and summons a hellfire that surrounds him for more than twenty yards in every direction.

Haydes: "And for safe measures, 360 War Fist Barrage!"

Fists of HellFire and Viking armor flew out, and crushed the clones as it did. Striking the real Shiishii more than ten times before sending him flying. Just as Haydes thought he regained the upper hand, three more clones came dashing at him. He takes heed of this and claps his hands together to ignite a technique.

"Contracts: Spatial Rend!" Haydes yelled just as an invisible force came along and shut the clones down. Shiishii was quick to find a counter by bringing about two familiar Scythes. The Adapter's Sickle and the newly renamed Master Slasher Scythe. He quickly cuts the force with the Adapter Scythe and fuses it to the Master Slasher. This allowed him to cut through the Rend Haydes had summoned. Canceling it without much effort being put forth. Haydes is taken aback, which leaves for the perfect opening. A single clone came back from the Rend with a flying round-house kick to the jaw.

Haydes: (Sh-Shiiiit!) *FLASH*

Haydes is sent flying halfway across the planet with no way to stop. Sounds quite familiar, doesn't it? Well anyway, Shiishii being the animal that he is. Gives his brother no breathing room as he rushes in once more for another assault. Haydes was barely collecting himself as he watched a dark cloud come over the horizon. Mind you, Haydes had been smacked to the gigantic, singular ocean that took up forty percent of the Planet's surface AND interior. Just for a quick break down, this ocean may not take up most the surface like on Earth, but that was unnecessary as it was far more. While taking up forty percent, the rest is placed deep within the layers of Gaia's planet. Going as deep as the core and surrounding it in a quintuple deck sandwich with the molten earth and metals on both sides. It then turns into tunnels that mimic pipelines. These pipes are the source to many, and I mean… MANY lakes, ponds, rivers, streams and swamps around the entire Planet's three massive continents.

Haydes: "Tch! Bastard really is tough, but I've got something for him. *Fwish* *FWIP* Contracts: True Astral Projection! (With the use of my War element and… the Holy Lightning of Helsephera!)" *FWOW*

Shiishii: "Alright, time to try that! *FWISH* Hm!? *Glare* (What's this… this strange essence I'm sensing in this area?)"

Haydes: "Too late! Holy Astral BIND!!!" *vwwwwISH* *fwiSHIP*

Shiishii is stopped in his tracks, his cloud of Death literally being blown to the wind by the sudden wall of Force. It constricted Shiishii and further paralyzed him with the jolt of a Holy symbol. Shiishii began to build up a large amount of essence at a rapid pace. But Haydes wasn't going to let up enough for it to matter in the slightest. He called forth another technique to finish the combo with a mighty slam.

Haydes: "One Million Fists of the KINGS!!!"

Shiishii: (Ah… son of a…) *S-S-Sm-Sm-Sm-SM-SM-SMASH* *kaBLOOOM*

Shiishii's body met with the full force of one million kings with the might to destroy multiple galaxies at once! The bind he was in was instantly broken but it did him no help with resisting the bombardment he faced. He slowly lowered to the floor until a light built up to the peak. Piercing through Shiishii's very Astral body and physical alike before smashing both into the floor and detonating. The ground shook and rumbled as lava deposits spewed from all over. A grand red light burst open from where Shiishii lied and ruptured the foundation of the continent they were on. It split in two while shaking the planet to its very core.

Haydes: "That actually took a bit out of me. *Huff* My essence reserves probably shot down about seven and a half points. *Huff* But it was all worth it to land that one. He'll have a hard time catching up."

Gaia and Kareezim were jaw dropped from the display they had just witnessed. Haydes had quite the card ready for Shiishii, and it was crafty, powerful and unexpected. They were waiting for the next play, just when they noticed three new signatures entered the zone of Gaia's universe. Gaia used her creation prowess to send an 'eye' to the gate they had entered from. From what she could see, it was three shrouded warriors, one had Gahwardian essence. Knowing this, Gaia allowed them passage and lit a path to the planet. Seemed she knew these three.

Kareezim: "Aye we good, b?"

Gaia: "Mhm hmm, I know these young whelps headed this way. Though .."

Kareezim: "Yo, what is it Gaia, b?"

Gaia: "Clouds of eerie nature are forming, but Shiishii and Haydes aren't the source of it. It came as soon as those three entered my territory."

Kareezim: "Does that mean!?"

Gaia: "Someone… someone unexpected will be dying very soon here. VERY.. soon."

Kareezim: "Tch! Damn you deadass right now bruh?" *Glare*

Gaia: (It'll go down, before Shii can even get up. Mainly because he is gathering in silence.) "Hurry it up, Ruthless Reaper!"

Haydes was still busy building up his essence while he unknowingly allowed Shiishii to do the same. In the meantime, the children were still in a losing fight with the cloaked Stranger and his orbs. He continuously bombarded those who specialized in long range like Clarence and Scrâg. While fighting to his heart's content with those who were strong in close quarters, Such as Zelibus, Silvio and Malikai. Fong, Ju'Mosi and Amera all sat at an even distance to play support and dive in when a chance presents itself. Like now, for instance…

The Stranger is forced to leap back from Zelibus as a storm of Cancerous Essence shrouds him. He uses his sword to cut the essence, only to have Fong flank him with perfect precision. Waiting for him to strike in order to land a strike. The stranger was completely taken by surprise, wearing a look in his eyes that said, "It just had to be her!" Fong releases a heavy drop kick covered in black fire. A result of mixing her Fiend powers with her element. *SMASH*

Stranger: Tch!Bring her with us!"

Fong: (An order!?) *GRIP*

Ju'Mosi: "An orb grabbed her leg?!"

Clarence: "Diamond bullet!"

He shot the orb, but it did nothing more than leave a small scratch on the surface. The orb pulls Fong down, making her crash into the ground along with the Stranger. Two dust geysers shoot up into the sky with both warriors ascending from them. Fong stares the Stranger down just as Zelibus and Silvio flank his nine and three.

Stranger 2: "Useless! Unlock the Time: 5-second Skip!" *FLASH* *Ticking noises*

Each member of Young Strife experienced a blank five seconds where the Stranger basically… stopped existing. Just then, he appeared where he had been previously and simply smiled. Just before he raised his right arm and snapped. Suddenly… each member felt the sting of several hundred strikes hit them at once. A giant amount of force followed after the rush had ended and blew everyone into the dirt. The impact was so great that they all created mushroom clouds made of dust and dirt.

"It's high time I put an end to you gnats." The Stranger says just before raising his hand. An orb flew to the palm of his right hand and began to glow ominously. A gleam of red peaked from that same light and a gigantic ball of essence suddenly came out. It was bigger than the average sized moon, which could barely be seen from a full view of Gaia's planet. On the other end of things, Demetri had sprouted his Crimson Wings. A family trait he and the other members of the Crimsonburst house could do. These wings emitted a heat that mounted itself on the atmosphere around them. Naturally turning the environment into a frenzied flame field.

Morpheus: "We can get around his Domain and control of space. But his damn heat can burn essence and attacks made from it."

Kenny: "We're at a standstill it seems."

Morpheus: "Seems so my man."

Demetri: "You youngins are strong but not even going into your War forms will help you. You're no match for me when I'm in control of myself."

???: "Then allow us to entertain you!"

*STEP* *STEP*

???: "Yo, Demetri."

Demetri: "You two!? What- H-How are you…"

Morpheus: "They're…"

Kenny: "Sonya and Joseph Trigerpul!"

Joe: "Indeed Godling."

Sonya: "Long time no see, Lord Morpheus."

Stranger 2: "Now let this be the end of it. Lunar Orb Decimation-" *SMASH*

Fong: "Huh!?"

Silvio: "Hey… isn't that?"

Amera: "Lady Tailee! But… what's she doing here!?"

Zelibus: "Who knows and who cares honestly. *pat* *Pat* She just saved all of us."

Clarence: "Indeed she did, breh."

*CRASH*

Tailee: *step* *Step* "Seems you've grown not even a bit if this is all it takes to control you… Taishin, Brother "

Scrâg: "T-Taishin…"

Silvio: *THUD* "We've been trying to kill… Taishin?"

Zelibus: "And he was about to… kill us??"

Fong: "Lady Tailee, what's going on here!?"

Tailee: "Haydes played another trick on members of Le Destrucìon. I'm here with Sonya and Joseph to put an end to it!"

Taishin: "Do you really think you have what it takes, Tailee SenKozen?"

Tailee: "Hrm! Allow me to remind you of… Who. I. AM!" *F-F-Fw-Fwishh… PEWWFF*

Shiishii and Haydea kick their battle off into high gear with an endless clash all across Gaia's planet. In the midst of their battle, three warriors enter in the form of Sonya, Joseph and Tailee. They take on fellow members of Le Destrucìon who were taken by Haydes. The battles intensify as the war rages on!!

Next Chapter: Tailee Vs Taishin, A

Sibling Clash! Forbidden Interference!?
