78.) We Are Earth Z!!!

An invasion of sacred land had taken place. Atomen within the body of Zoshen, made his way deep into Gahwardia completely undetected. He had one target and that was Earth Z, a planet of great magnitude in size. It housed strong Non-Mortals and a few powerful Gods. It was the perfect place to attack, not too much risk and plenty of potent particles to digest. And upon his arrival, he coincidentally ended up face-to-face with the biggest city on the planet. And gave it… HELL!

Charging into the atmosphere and becoming a huge meteor as he crashes into their tallest building. Standing at a whopping 3,000 feet tall, and to be reduced to less than 100 feet within a flash. People of all kinds falling from the tall building and couldn't even experience the fear. As Atoshen immediately ate the particles of all who came before his eyes. Bodies began dropping at quicker rates than even that of flies after bomb impact. An alert sang throughout the city as its Demi-God protectors came to the rescue.

Atoshen: "Your efforts are meaningless. I just want your particles… That's all. I honestly don't think… YOU'LL BE NEEDING THEM!!!" *PEW*

He charges at the 13 warriors before him without any hesitation. The captain calls for immediate action and to brace themselves. One warrior at which was a girl with pink flowing, curly hair that dropped to the center of the back, took a charge forward. Her Guardians' robe fluttered in the wind as she brought down her great sword, flexing a gorgeous amount of muscle as she went. Atoshen smiles at her just before dodging her attack, but for some reason he was sent back to his origin spot.

Guardian Captain: "Great job Jesse! Everyone, follow her lead!!!"

Atoshen: "What… the hell happened!?"

Jesse: "I sliced and cut the event, destroying it in the process. You never truly "dodged" my attack. That never happened."

Atoshen: "Tch! Eh… well, that much doesn't matter. You're basically telling me to decide it all in one go. No wasted movements!"

Jesse: "Huh!?" *fwiSHING*

Guardian Captain: "JESSE!!!"

Everyone gasps as they watch her body become a little speck and then… she disappears within an instant. Everyone who was trying to follow up noticed a nasty wave of essence coming towards them. Then they heard words that left them speechless.

"Transmutation: Aura + Particle!"

Guardian: "Wait a sec… he uses particles though- *SHUTTER* Everyone RUN!!!"

Atoshen: "Too little, too late! Particle BOMB!!!"

So let me explain something real fast. Particles ISN'T a type of energy signature that branches from essence. No, what Stuliathans and Conceptinaughts are capable of is literally transforming their essence type into themselves. Atomen is a Particle type Stuliathan which in turn allows him to turn his essence into particles. Solely using them to fuel every technique and not a lick of his own particles are used. A particle exists as far as existence itself. They can be found in most everything. And considering his universal and beyond range, any universe to a few can become fuel for a grand technique.

Now as for the added Aura signature, well that's simple. It allows him to even change that of Aura into particles and take command of said particles for any set of techniques such as, for instance… a bomb. A bomb that literally uses you as the fuel to blow you up. You… are the bomb…. A bruhhuhuhuuhuhuaahahahah!!!"

And as explained… every member of the 13 Guardians were blown to bits within the skies above the city. The citizens watched in horror as the strongest member boasted a 24 on the power scale. Atomen began to descend from the skies with a big ball of particles being held by his index finger. Just then… *piTEW* Atomen felt a harsh sting on the back of his neck. Then… his attack was suddenly dispersed just before he himself was blown away by a strong kick to the jaw.

Guardian Captain: "You really did it, you bastard! You killed my entire team!!!"

With tears running down his face. A shirtless man with milky, brown skin and wild black hair that stood upright. His eyes were beaming red and his eyebrows were jagged. The Demi-God eas riddled with tattoos that looked like Fallen Hieroglyphs, or in their terms… Demonic Markings. He had on blackened wristbands and red combat pants. His black boots stained red while his bloody energy leaked off of him like streaky smoke. The tips of his hairs were stained blood red as well.

Citizen: "H-Hey! It's Captain KAI!!!"

The crowd began to spring up with hope as their usual savior sat above them scratched up, but only getting started from what their audience could tell. Atomen flew up to his person and addressed him accordingly.

Atoshen: "Your name's Kai? Any surname?"

Captain Kai: "Spirit, make sure you remember-

Atoshen: "Fuck your cheerleaders Kai Spirit." *kaBLOOOM*

Atomen used Zoshen's control of elements to form a compressed flare using the particles from the buildings around him to form it. Transforming those particles into the necessary types needed to form fire. The huge crowd of people and what looked like city hall, plus another 10 kms worth of city that was behind said city hall building. They were all incinerated within mere seconds. Left without a trace to be looked after. Kai bursts into a rage and blitzes Atomen with a strong, roundhouse kick!

"That was heavy, but you friends make for the perfect shields. So is the use of their pathetic particles!" Atomen says while smiling sinisterly to enrage Kai even more. Kai lifts his right fist and brings forth a huge amount of essence in the shape of hellfire. It was literally burning the oxygen and gravity around them. The buildings were burning and melting as well.

Atoshen: "That's… nothing special at all little man."

Cpt. Kai: "KHA!!! Hellfire QUAZAAR!!!"

Atoshen: "Not… Good enough *fwip*

Atomen cocks his left arm back and blasts forward with an abundant amount of force. The hellfire was hit head on and broken into particles that scattered about. Kai was completely taken by surprise and even worse off, he was blitzed in the process. Atomen appeared behind him and gave him a nasty kick to his side. The pain and impact left Kai frozen for a second, which left an opening for yet another kick to land and send Kai flying into the city. He smashes through an entire city block just before flying back up into the sky.

"You won't get away with anything more than this!!!" Kai screamed out while attempting to blitz Atomen. They clash fists head on and go into a flurry of barrage exchanges. Atomen gets a little petty and uses every missed or blocked attack as a chance to attack the city. They were about fifty blows in and more than a quarter of the city was destroyed. Kai was enraged yet again and upped his tenacity. Landing three punches in a row on Atomen's abdominal region. Then a rousing uppercut makes him do three backflips while flying back.

Cpt. Kai: "You may be great with your essence and use of abilities. But your damn fighting ability is lacking."

Atoshen: "You're right about that my friend. But I can bet you know of Morpheus."

Cpt, Kai: "One of the gates to our clan, yeah. What about the young lord?"

Atoshen: "This child is HIS rival and they trained in hand to hand all the time. So this stance here should even the odds with my stats."

Kai: "Tch, someone that might have affinity to high level martial arts. This could be troublesome!"

Atomen wastes no time in going after Kai as he readies himself. Kai focuses his vision just after seeing Atomen vanish from where he was. And before he knew it, a strong left hook came crashing in. Aiming for his ribs when nearly making an impact. Kai manages to block the blow by turning his body to his right and blocking the attack with his right arm. A second strike comes flowing in and Kai blocks that before it can hit his stomach. Then a follow up, hard left nearly strikes his chest as he weaves out the way at the last second. Thena flashing right palm strike takes him by surprise as his body auto reacts to it. Using his own two open palm strikes to stop it in its tracks.

Atoshen: "Oh ho… pretty damn good child. But, I'm far from done." *PRCH*

A kick strikes Kai's chin, but burns Atomen. This helps him notice the burns on his hands as well. He heals them all while advancing upon Kai. He swings with an overhead right which Kai blocks with his left forearm while leaning to the right. Then leaned up to block a lower left hand strike with his right forearm. Atomen uses another flash strike and lands a heavy roundhouse kick on Kai's jaw. Making him step back a few times just before having to block two fast jabs aimed at his throat. "Left" "Right", then another flashing roundhouse from his right foot. Flowing in perfect tandem and going into a crushing blow to Kai's jaw.

Cpt. Kai: "D-Damn!"

Atoshen: "You're slowing down!"

Kai looks up to see Atomen coming down with a crashing elbow. Kai manages to block the strike which causes a massive portion of the city to be pushed back like loose leaf paper. Atomen gives Kai no breathing room and uses his right foot to land a heavy, toe kick to Kai's stomach. Kai coughs up a small bit of blood while holding his stomach. He takes a few steps back to gain some distance, but is tailed by Atomen.

"You won't get away!" , he says just before landing a left high kick on Kai's chin. The kick causes his body to straighten out as his POV is that of the sky. Atomen goes into a rapid spin after he leaps back a few feet. He approaches Kai slowly and just before he could regain himself. Atomen jumps out of the spin and hits Kai with a flying, right footed roundhouse kick while folding his body. The force of the blow sends Kai crashing through the city for miles. Wrecking everything in his path. The buildings eventually stop his momentum and he's able to catch a breather before struggling to lift his head, from all the pain.

Cpt. Kai: "H-He's damn good! What kind of- *Gasp* N-No!"

Before him was a carpet of child carnage, as it just so happens, the building that stopped his momentum fully happened to be a children's medical facility. The severed remains of many children lay like the paint to a destructive canvas. Disembodied heads were all over the place with the sightings of crushed legs and arms still twitching underneath the rocks that did them in. Entrails were spread as far as the eye can see with one child even having her upper half hang from a hook by her large intestine. Making her resemble that of live bait as she blew in the wind. Kai was known for having a weak stomach… so he vomited rather quickly.

"You're strong, yet weak. These little bitches and twerps mean nothing at all my man. They're all written off to die like this by death anyway. And you worship that murderer! Huwahahahahahaaa!!!" , he laughed and laughed as the buildings and kids all around him began to shrivel to a single particle that went to his belt. There was a literal shard made from what he had collected, meaning there were more than millions upon billions or even trillions. Sitting right there like a trophy, but a trophy with purpose. One could tell just from the sincere gratitude Atomen displayed as he tapped the shard, as though to bless himself. It was all… strange.

Cpt. Kai: "How could you talk about these children like that-"

Atoshen: "My kind eats the weaker to gain more concept control. We even eat universes, multiverses and massive multiverses like, Clusterverses, Conglomeverses, Gigatoverses and even your famed homes, Colossaverses. Those are just a single concept to us. This one even represents combat and peak body performances in every category of stat and stature. It's why I once tried to devour it whole!"

Cpt. Kai: "What!? (What the fuck is the little maniac talking about!? Eat a Colossaverse… WHOLE!?)"

Atoshen: "Yes, yes and this is only one concept as I said before. This omniverse houses a positive amd negative version of evey concept in existence plus every new one and forgotten ones that were thought to be erased. The simple lives of these pathetic long lasting mortals means not a thing. I'm on a mission, and your particles as well as everyone else's on this planet, will be mine." *Stetch*

Captain Kai was completely worn out and he noticed why. Atomen had sent in his own Source when that last kick landed plus the damage he received. He was at the mercy of Atomen!

"You put on a good resistance, but it was all for naught-" *SMASH*

Cpt. Kai: "Wh-What!?"

A young girl with flowing, curly, bright pink hair came flying in. She kicked Atomen right in his jaw and sent him flying through a few buildings where it was completely evacuated. She turned to face Kai who seemed as though he was dying. His body grew pale and his breathing got awfully heavy. He even started to wither a bit. The girl walked over and touched him once… then yet again which miraculously reversed the effects of his departicalization.

Kai looked up to see glowing pink eyes staring at him. Her skin was milky brown and bright, while her eyebrows sit small and thick. Her eyelashes were long and her figure was that of a fit, slim-thick woman. She wore a small jacket that was hot pink with a white crop top underneath. She had on pink, sparkle-girl gauntlets to match her leg armor. With darkened violet-purple, baggy combat pants. She had a small dagger on the lower end of her back. Wearing a white scarf around her neck.

???: "Yo, are you ok?"

Cpt. Kai: "Yeah, but you need to- wait a sec! You're… Kahiiko!!"

Kahiiko: "Kahiiko Morgees at your service. And don't worry about me. I used my Mental Zenchi to see just one minute into the future. Two powerful allies are on their way here!"

Cpt. Kai: "Th-That's great news. I-I can… help you… until then-"

Kahiiko: "No! I have the power of Anti which is what I used to save you. I'll be fine on my own for that one minute."

Cpt. Kai: "O-ok… just be careful, Madame Kahiiko!"

Kahiiko: "Mhm! *Grin* Vehicle: Hoverboard!!!"

Birthright: Vehicle. This birthright allows Kahiiko to transform her essence into any vehicle of her choice. All of which boost her speed but by different levels. The vehicles all run off of her essence and are capable of draining essence from nearby to further prolong its use. A handy power to use when trying to keep your distance.

Kahiiko: "Headphones… ON! Leeet's… GO!!!" *PEW*

Kahiiko flashes forward and brushes past Atomen's ear as he climbs out the rubble. She goes into the sky and summons a huge field of bright pink balls of essence that had blackened cores. "Anti-Matter Volley!!!" Kahiiko screamed with a huge smile on her face. And down rain a barrage of lasers made from the essence found in her balls. Atomen flies away from the city to get away while building up and absorbing particles from all around him.

Atomen: (That twerp can use Anti? This can be an issue, she already touched the Captain and he had my particles riddled all throughout his body.)

Kahiiko: "C'mon, C'mon… C'MONN!!!" *PEW* *pew* *Pew* *PEW*

Atomen flies into a mountain range that helps him cover from the barrage of beams. It was torn asunder in the process with Atomen using the destruction as a smokescreen. He attempts to blitz Kahiiko, but she dodges with great grace. Atomen could hear her laughter as she flies away and twirls to face him. He turns around in frustration and lets out a particle blast. Kahiiko flies into the blast only to dodge at the last moment and flowed around the blast, riding it like a wave.

What!?" Atomen had yelled as he watched her smoothly maneuver around even the small alterations he made in order to trip her up. She even goes so far as to hop back in front of the blast and twirl as she absorbs the particles into her board. She then grabs the board and swings it over her shoulder like a massive, two-handed sword. Then swings it back around to release a massive ball of her own homemade, Anti-Particle Ball!! All while smiling and yelling "Try this onnn!!!"

Atoshen: "I… definitely shouldn't let that touch me, but I'm being pulled in! (Such trouble from someone that's only a 24.5!)"

Atomen was pulled in by his particles' natural attraction to him, an attraction that would allow for a homing sequence if he were to fly off. Realizing this, he chose to not waste the particles he did so much to gain and summon a shield while crossing his arms. The ball makes contact and explodes on impact, causing an explosion looked to have a magnitude that was one hundred times greater than that of an atom bomb. The crater left behind was two times larger than that of the city and deeper than fifty thousand feet.

Kahiiko: "Ha! How'd you like… that?"

She looked deep within the crater and could only see two large eyes and a smiling mouth. A mouth with a silhouette that showed off a crazy amount of teeth. The silhouette began to charge at her and from it came a demonic looking Atoshen. He had perfectly fused to his body finally amd taken an even greater form. Kahiiko readied herself after snapping out of her intimidation. Atoshen made his way to her just then only for a kick from a fellow in yellow to meet with his jaw. Sending him flying towards the city.

Atoshen: "Who the hell!?"

Then another gentleman in blue gave him a few. Four jabs and a harsh kick to to his back sends him flying right back to once he came. The other fellow came down upon him like an anvil and dropped Atoshen into the ground. Atoshen tanked the blows and grabbed his leg as he got up. He slammed the yellow fellow into the floor and attempted to kick him away. But the guy latched onto his leg and weighed him down. His partner came crashing in, but Atoshen fired a great amount of particles at him.

???: "Exterminate!!!"

Atoshen: "What!? (My attack was destroyed!?)"

The heavy set guy blitzes through and blows Atoshen away with a heavy drop kick. He rolls for a few miles before being throttled into the rubble of what is left of the mountain range. He climbs out with veins bulging from his head. He stared down the two newcomers and Kahiiko.

Cpt. Kai: "So those are the two people that they mentioned before. They're both pretty strong and have a strong affinity for one another. This could be it… this is…"

Atoshen: "What… the hell ARE YOU PEOPLE!?"

???: "Hehe! Well… its Sanjin and Bujuro at your service and what we three here and many others that are sure to come represent…"

Bujuro: "Yeah… it's pretty damn simple."

Everyone: "WE are Earth Z!!!"

Now we know, the destruction of the city was due to a great battle with Atoshen feasting at its center. A great deal.of carnage has spread and the greatest warriors gather at the front lines. Earth Z rises to the challenge as Haydes' search continues!
