79.) The Return of Sanjuro!

Earth Z's greatest city and many miles of its lands were tarnished by a battle. A battle ensued by one single invader with an insatiable appetite for destruction on a grand scale. But they also had an actual hunger for any out of every particle found out there. Using Earth Z as his appetizer to set the bar for the type of particles he preferred. Yes, this one crazed, hungry maniac was none other than the possessed Zoshen. Being controlled by that of Atomen and being taken on a ride all around his home colossaverse. Being used to replenish the lost strength Atomen once had.

During his rampage, he was interrupted by a man named Kai spirit, who had a demonic power that he used. He put up a good fight just after having his team massacred before his very eyes. But, he was eventually beaten into a corner which opened up an entrance for a girl with a familiar last name. Kahiiko Morgees, another Anti user like Kimichi Morgees. She pushed Atomen out of the city so they could go all out. During this, two more familiar faces show up and enter the battle. Enraged at the sight of their home town being ripped to shreds. They all took a stand against the terror of Atomen who had just finally fully synced with Zoshen's body. An even more epic battle commences as forces from all over the planet make their way there.

And now we're caught back up to where we left off in Ch. 76. Sanjin and Bujuro analyze the creature that stands before them. Sweating as they feel the absolute pressure that a single Goddolescents could let off. Though he was far from being a mere teenage God with a knack for destruction. He was a tenacious, old being with years of experience on the battle front. In which case, it showed when he gave them no time to think. Rushing them as they try and plan their next move.

Bujuro: "Crap! *THUMP* Such a heavy punch from a young God!"

Atoshen: "Isn't it marvelous?" *FWIP*

Sanjin: *Wurf* *GRIP* "Yeah, now get away from my brother, you twerp!" *FWISH*

Atoshen: "Gehahahaaa! Theory of Matter: Broken Existence!!!"

Two massive holes open up beneath their feet and above their heads. Every particle and piece of matter that resided within the range that the holes encased, began to be sucked in from both sides. Ripping the literal particles off of whatever may be between them, even the molecules found within the air and atmosphere itself. Sanjin, Bujuro and Kahiiko were all trapped in the center. Being pulled in both directions which was causing them to feel immense pain. Pain that's unbearable and made them desperate as a response.

"We… have to…!!! Cancel… THAT ATTACK!!! Bujuro yelled while struggling to pull his arm free from the intense pull. After breaking a few fingers in the process, he was able to break free and exterminated the damage to his fingers. Kahiiko was able to do the same while coating her arm in Anti-essence and canceling the pulling effects. Sanjin does the same as his brother and all three fuse their powers together for a Divine Trinit-Unity technique called, Anti- Abolination!!! The attack was being broken down and its particles destroyed the ones that fueled Atomen's technique. Then using his particles against him in order to erase the attack itself altogether.

Atomen: "Tch! Clever little bastards. That was quite impressive. But with all that wasted stamina, can you stop it again!? *FWISH* *Click* *Clack* What?! Why can't I use whatever technique I just used- *GASP* (I can't even remember its name or what it did. What the hell!?)" *He glares at his three opponents*

Kahiiko: "If you're wondering about the technique we used and what it did, then worry no more! My part of the attack allowed it to bypass your particles, I.E…. Their pull, canceling each one out as it advanced."

Bujuro: "Once the attack made contact, I was able to exterminate your attack completely and nullify its effects in the process. Then…"

Sanjin: "I abolished its existence using a link to your memory. Which I then dove into and abolished it there too. You're not about to defeat us after doing this to our home!"

Atoshen: "Power boosts due to strong feelings? Oh PLEASE, this isn't some kind of fictional story where you play the hero. You're disrupting my meal in which I HAVE to eat. You haven't even batted an eyelash at the other planets I ate. Nooooo, just this one! Well that's where you fucked up! No one gets in the way of my goal." *PEW*

Sanjin: "Huh!? Hey, LOOK OUT!!!"

Bujuro: "What!? *SMASH* (Where did this speed come from?)"

Atoshen blitzed Bujuro and sunk his left foot deep into his gut. Then with a pluck of force, he sends him flying straight into a nearby mountain. Sanjin grabs him and puts him into a headlock. Kahiiko takes the opportunity to flash in front of him with her board in hand. She swings inward to smash his face, but stopped in her tracks after she felt an odd presence from Atoshen. She grabbed Sanjin and flashed away on instinct. Atoshen looks up and a sudden burst of particles ripples from his body. Each one has the impact of an atomic bomb behind them.

Kahiiko: "We've gotta grab Bujuro and I'll handle the rest. He doesn't seem to want to stop!"

Sanjin: "I-I was almost minced meat!"

They flash over to Bujuro with the radius of the continued spread of atomic explosions right behind them. One must also add that each goddamn explosion is greater than the last. Kahiiko grabs hold of both Sanjin and Bujuro and summons three hoverboards to her person. Each was linked to follow her board as it acted as the "mother" to the flock. They flash off at the speed of light and as Kahiiko suspected, the spread sped up drastically as well. Or moreso, Atoshen kept a constant and consistent spread going as he sped after them.

Bujuro: "He's tailing us hard! Can these things go any faster!?"

Kahiiko: "Well of course… they've each eaten enough essence from the three of us and particles from the surrounding area. With this much… I'd say we can go a thousand times faster and then some! WARP DRIVE!!!"

They leap light years away, or say they thought. Nope! Atoshen appeared in front of them an millisecond after they leapt into Drive. Holding out his hand as a particle bomb with an aura level so dense, only a big bang could possibly alter its influence. This was his attempt to turn them into bombs and get it over with. But just then… Kahiiko flashed a form with white hair thay coiled up to the extreme. Her eyes turned white as well with a cloak that looked similar to that of the Royal Gahwardian family's line of fur coats. It rested upon her shoulders and elegantly danced as she extended her foot at extremely high speeds. Easy to say she was going more than ten times as fast as her hoverboards' warp drive boost.

"Anti-Explosion." , she calmly said as the particle lost its light, but not the weight behind it. Which she carried with her on the bottom of her foot as it rammed straight into Atoshen's chest. A dense force was felt as the blow landed and both parties were blown back as a result. They both smashed into the earth, more than fifty-thousand miles apart. Each digging more than ten-thousand miles into the earth while leaving three-thousand mile wide craters.

Atoshen: "Damn brats keep getting in my way. And what the HELL WAS THAT FORM!!! … N-Nr-Nrgh Y'NRRGGH!!! GRRAAAAHHH!!!!" *KABLOOOOOM*

An explosion more than twice the size of the hole he left bursts forth. Unknowingly, he killed ten percent of the thousands that were coming to assist with expelling him, in uncharted lands. He slowly rises out of the crater to see all three if his opposers sitting at the edge if their crater, furthest away from him. He could see Kahiiko riving in agony as she grasps her leg with flashes of white lightning coating her body. It was BACKLASH and the perfect opportunity to shrike. A smile crept across his face and they noticed a huge flash of bloodlust. A shadow loomed over them, but Kahiiko was in no condition to move. The amount of dense particles surrounding him, ate all the Anti-Injury essence she had wrapped around it. So the recoil hit the worst there.

Kahiiko: "Leave me and go! As long as Anti exists I can come back from the smallest-"

Sanjin: "He won't let there be a particle left knowing the threat you pose. Seeing as this is dire, We'll take the lead!" *he walks directly in front of Kahiiko, Atoshen's line of flight*

Bujuro: "Hmph!" *Clench* *He squeezes harshly on his closed fist, cracking all his knuckles while at it*

Both: "SWITCH!"

Their Switching Birthright allows them to swap places with peoples, things, techniques and other anomalies. All they have to do is either touch, smell, see(clearly), taste or hear(clearly enough to identify) and they can swap with whatever it is that peeked their senses. This time around, Sanjin swapped with Atoshen and Bujuro with Kahiiko. Throwing Atoshen off, who wasn't prepared to be hit. A harsh right hook connects with Atoshen's left jawline and cheek. Mushing them in like jell-o as Atoshen whole body does a sort of wave. Its momentum literally being counteracted by the force of Bujuro's charged punch. He was able to exterminate a few of the particles that touched him, which lowered the amount that was eaten away from him.

(Damn… Damn! DAAAMNN!!!) Atoshen thought in frustration while being catapulted back over near his crater, but instead met with Sanjin. Who grabbed hold of him and bear hugged him as he attempted to Abolish his link with Zoshen. Realizing this, a different animal came out and the jokes were done. Sanjin's arms were blown off in an instant, blood splattering all over the both of them. Sanjin licks some of his off his lips right before Abolishing the event and returning them to square one.

Atoshen: "Thanks for that. I was able to trace ourselves from before and create perfect copies fueled by draining the particles from this universe."

Sanjin: "WHAT!?"

Atoshen: "You Abolished my memory once, it won't work a second time you idiot!"

Sanjin: "Why, you-" *SMASH*

He was kicked in the back of the head by a replica of himself. The shock from the blow was enough for him to let go of Atoshen, who then turned around and attempted to kick him in his side. Sanjin blocks, then ducks just in the knick of time to dodge another heavy roundhouse to the head… from himself. Atoshen notices the desperate look on his face and throws three jabs at Sanjin while his created clone turns around and resets. Sanjin dodges the first two blows and is forced to block the final that was lined for the center of his face.

"N-Nrgh, what a heavy strike!" Sanjin said while trying to withstand the attack. His copy resets and lands a strong left hook on the back of his head. Sanjin withstands the blow and lands a back kick on his clone that stuns 'em. Sanjin then weaves to the left as Atoshen tries hitting him with a heavy right kick. Sanjin attempts to counter with a haymaker, but has his arm pushed off like nothing. Then a chest punch forces Sanjin back a step which allowed his clone to knee his back with enough force to send him upward. Then Atoshen flashes in front of him and kicks him into the crater. He smashes through the wall within the crater and comes flying out above ground directly behind his brother and Kahiiko.

Sanjin: "Bujuro get ready for a- What the!?"

Bujuro: "Oh damn!"

Atoshen: "My clone and I use the clone of Sanjin to fuel these Grand Particle Bombs. Have fun!"

Two gigantic attacks came crashing down atop them at great speed. A flash of light screamed across the sky and then an explosion of great proportion flashed forth. Kahiiko and the brothers were swallowed up with very little resistance. One could hear their yells as they tried to resist the destruction of their bodies. But it would seem the pressure and constant bombardment was too great. Too great for them to simply sit there and take it. So… they made their move instead.

"Anti!!!" Kahiiko yells just before a giant dome appears within the first dome of mass destruction. It was an area where the like of explosions and damage can reach unless Atoshen goes all out. But before he even has a chance, an even brighter light shoots forth. A light of green that enveloped the entirety of the northern region of the planet. Covering more than 25% of the planet's surface as the explosion is expelled. Atoshen, who would usually be irritated with failure, seemed more that happy for this new development. For it meant that he could now devour a greater foe and that there… had him truly intrigued amd curious as to who the newcomer may be. Then he noticed a familiar presence within them and then even noticed that two essence signatures disappeared when that one came out. "What happened!?" , he wondered.

Atoshen: (What's happening here-) *PEW* "Mrm!" *A laser sharp beam grazes the right side of his face*

???: "Seems I never get to come out and be able to take it easy. Bastards are always fighting something out of their range."

Kahiiko: (Wh-Who the hell is this guy?)

A silhouette began to form as the smoke cleared and the dust settled. A slim yet very built man with a sharp green suit stood before them. He had a fedora on with a white and gold dress vest that had the gold stitched in vertically all across it. He wore dangling, gold earrings that had an exploding emblem hanging from it. Black, fingerless gloves covered his hands and studded loafers graced the ground he stood on. His blazer hung off his shoulders, flowing into the wind while his glowing, forest green eyes stared Atoshen down with hostile intent.

Atoshen: "Quite the sharply dressed miscreant we've got here. How lovely."

???: "Aint it? By the way… the name's Sanjuro. I'm here to stamp you out of the equation."

Atoshen: "How do you hope to do that with that meager scale level of 27 versus my newly awakened 30?"

Sanjuro: "Just… watch as it all unfolds. Extermination's Abolishment!"

Atoshen: (Both their moves and an outfit that looks like a perfect mix of what they had on. This has to be that dumbass fusion thing.) "Tch, how grotesque!" *Fwip*

Atoshen blitzes Sanjuro, but is immediately returned to his origin point. A point that was meagerly abolished upon entering the range of the attack. Atoshen was hit by the impact of literally losing a piece of himself.

Atoshen: "Trying to shave off my particles bit by bit, aye? Not in your life! It's time to show you the true nature of a Stuliathan. Molecular Lair, SPREAD!!"

Sanjuro: "What the!?" *VWIMP*

Kahiiko: "What is this? It's… it's like the very space around us has shifted. It's ominous and void all of a sudden."

Sanjuro: "Doesn't matter. He still must be exterminated." *PEW*

Sanjuro blitzes Atoshen and punches him square in the face, but Atoshen turns to particles… smiling as he fades away. Sanjuro goes completely through him, fully committing to his punch. He turns around and sees Atoshen reforming above him. He attempts to blitz him once more, yet was stopped in his tracks by a harsh uppercut to his ribcage.

(He created a fist out of particles using his imagination. This is truly going to be troublesome.) , he thought to himself as he activated Mental Zenchi. Using this, he dodged every attack coming his direction with a tad bit of struggle. Being grazed by three of the twenty particle fists that flew his way. He bobbed and weaved then jumped back a few dozen meters at small bursts before going full nelson and jolting towards Atoshen.

Atoshen: "Ah, yes… that's wonderful. Come to me! *PRCH* Trap Particle, Reverser!!!"

Sanjuro is stunned, then throttled into a human shaped cloud of particles. He exterminates the effects then abolishes the act altogether in order to bring himself back. Giving himself immunity to the act that had just taken place. Atoshen steps forward and takes another blow that spreads a wave of electromagnets within each particle. It spreads through Sanjuro's arm and begins pulling him apart. Sanjuro repeats his technique and reverses the effects. When he comes back, he loses sight of Atoshen who had appeared behind him and landed a swinging, stiff kick on Sanjuro's nape. Knocking him back into the ground, sending him rolling on the floor for a literal mile.

Atoshen: "What's wrong? I thought I'd see so much moorre!"

Sanjuro: "N-Nrgh!! Yeah… whatever you bastard. *he stumbles while rising to his feet.* (That kick I took nearly wiped me out! My consciousness faded before I hit the ground. That's just too much power from such a small frame!)"

Kahiiko: (This guy is ridiculous as hell. He's keeping up with them even now, and winning at that!! I need to hurry and heal!)

Atoshen descended to the ground to face them directly. Staring down Sanjuro as he bellows in slight aggravation at his loss of ground in the battle. He hardened his resolve and a negative glow began to show from his eyes.

Atoshen: "Ah… Zenchi. Allow me to show you our version of it. Studianths Flash!!!"

Sanjuro: "Presence Zenchi!!!"

A clash of titans began the true test as their wills goes head to head. The very core of the planet shook as they fight for their survival. Chaos unfolds within Gahwardia's grounds as Haydes' search for the Keys continues!
