Deadly Sins and True Balance
Omen met Yamato in a series of extremely fast and powerful swings. And even though they battled in space, the shockwaves and noise echoed throughout the vacuum. Everywhere they passed, the stars and planets suffered the backlash of their destructive battle. Unknowingly, Raven was being kited by Hecate, only noticing when it was too late. Raven was almost blindsided when a giant metal ship came out of slipspace and hit her head on.
"What the.. Are we near Earth?" Raven muttered, looking at the reinforced clear glass with a room full of humans staring at her in awe inside.
"Oh yeah! Wow you guys are covering serious distance in your battle~" Tearwyn whistled before waving at the gobsmacked humans inside the ship.
~That, and I think your bare ass is pressed against the glass of the bridge~ Pride added with a small chuckle.
"I guess they'll get a good show before-" Raven didn't have the chance to complete her sentence before Hecate's fist collided with hers.
The force of the impact obliterating the human ship and smashing Raven off the surface of the Earth. Luckily for humanity, she was able to stop herself and land on top of a Covenant Scarab in Africa. Though the Elites, Jackals and Grunts didn't seem too happy at her sudden intrusion, firing plasma at her that did nothing.
"Oooh incoming!~" Tearwyn chimed in, just in time for Raven to shove a Grunt in front of Hecate's blade, easily piercing its little backpack.
"Gasp! Rae how could you sacrifice such a stubby, cute alien like that!?" Hecate asked while punting the Grunt into orbit, much to the horror of the other Covenant species.
"Cute!? TEARWYN is cute.. These things are nasty" Raven replied as the snakes of Wrath, Envy and Greed grabbed the Scarab and threw it at Hecate.
The giant purple war machine flew through the sky faster than sound, smashing through building after building until stopping when Hecate dug her nails through the hull and threw it back like a hot potato. Only for it to be bisected by Raven before she punched Hecate far past Earth's orbit, towards the sun.
"Aw come on! I was gonna go grab Master Chief while we were playing in Africa!" Hecate complained before grinning to herself as she parried a hundred lightning fast swings of Omen. Raven's snakes arced out, all aiming to bite down and restrain the Goddess. Hecate's eyes widened as she rapidly parried the incoming snakes, both flying out of the solar system at near light speed. Hecate growled after the snakes of Wrath and Envy bit into her flesh, breaking free and tapping into her magic Authority. Hecate cracked a smile as an oppressive force pushed Raven back. Hecate casually creating a neutron star in her hands before another kind of magic radiated from her hands, compressing the celestial body further, until it was on the verge of either bursting or turning into a black hole. A flash of light bathed a portion of the Galaxy as Hecate hit Raven with the ultra compressed star. The destructive force made Raven's bones rattle and fracture as she flew through space. It was only after a few minutes that she came to a stop, her body burned and scarred, yet she laughed.
"I know it's filthy rich coming from me.. but her powers are bullshit!" Raven coughed and grumbled to herself.
"You say that buuut.." Tearwyn grabbed Raven's face with a big smile.
"You're having a ton of fun~" Tearwyn giggled.
"I admit it. This is.. exhilirating.. Oh, here she comes again" Raven grinned madly and sheathed Omen before quickly drawing and meeting Hecate's blade as she flew in.
Hecate kicked Raven in the face after the thousandth exchange of blades and grinned to herself.
"It's finally ready..!" Hecate laughed and spread both of her arms out as a huge planet sized ring came out of slipspace behind her.
"What the hell did you do? And is that a.. ring? You're not proposing, are you? I'm flattered.. but we're family" Raven joked, though felt a healthy amount of caution as she saw Hecate touch the exterior of the ring.
"Not by blood. But no! I'm unfortunately not proposing to you, Dear Sister. I just realized that, out of all of us.. My KD ratio was abysmal! Artoria's in the lead. And I just won't stand for that, you know? So I grabbed some toys and sent my clone to go activate all the rings. Originally, this was just meant to deal with evil sentient space aids but.. What do ya think will happen when I use 'Divine Reinforcement' on it?" Hecate asked, ominously.
Though before Raven could answer, she was hit with the planet sized ring. As in, Hecate used it as a sort of melee weapon and smacked Raven with it, really hard. Raven flew back, crashing into a gas giant and stopping when she hit some kind of suspended station that was occupied by Elites and Grunts.
"...Ow" Raven groaned, using the snakes to help her out as her body healed.
"Oh! I think I know what it'll do~" Tearwyn spoke up, hitting her palm with her tiny hand.
"She's gonna wipe out all life in the Universe like that. I wonder if the Light Goddess will try to stop her~?" Tearwyn swayed on Raven's head.
"If she does, we'll kill her together" Raven rrplied, flying back up into space.
As soon as she left the planet, a massive shockwave of darkness hit her at faster than light speed. Raven shook as her Authorities shielded her, Sloth working overtime to reverse the destruction of her being as her and Tearwyn were protected in a barrier. It felt like she was going to unravel for the instant the shockwave hit her. Raven blinked and felt the deaths across the universe. Then hearing a psychic scream of a Light Goddess dying on the other side of the Universe. She wheezed out a laugh and heard both Tearwyn and Hecate laugh at the Goddesses' pitiful death.
"OHHH YEAH BABY! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!!" Hecate yelled with uproarious laughter.
Raven noticed she was hit by it too. Suffering some nasty burns and cuts from the intense shockwave that killed every other being in the Universe. Raven saw the opportunity to attack and took it, calling out the Blackened Chains of Enkidu that wrapped around and bound Hecate while she was celebrating early. Pulling her in, Raven's blade ignited in Wrath's flames before severing Hecate's arm and impaling her through the stomach before slamming the Goddess into the Halo ring she had just hit her with.
Hecate froze in pain before coughing up Divine blood. Arcing her back, she began to struggle in her chains as her tails thrashed about.
"She's almost got it, Rae!" Tearwyn excitedly declared as she bounced on Raven's head.
Though Raven watched as her sister closed her eyes and stilled. Her breathing stopping briefly before the overwhelming feeling of Darkness that came from Hecate stopped. Raven sighed but felt a little disappointed still. The fight was good, but it ended too soon, for her.
Hecate opened her bloodshot eyes after being knocked unconscious after a lapse in concentration. But Raven hadn't walked out of it unscathed. Cuts and burns across her body were being healed. She still looked ready and eager to fight though, but it looked as if her fun time had passed.
"You're back~!" Tearwyn jumped on Hecate's face and hugged her tight.
"Thanks for the warm welcome~" Hecate used her Freedom authority and broke free of the blackened chains of Enkidu, prompting Raven to get up and hold Omen ready.
"So what happened? I saw everything up to Rae getting serious. Had to deal with some stuff after that" Hecate began healing quickly, cracking her neck and back.
"Well you hit Rae with Delta Halo" Tearwyn said.
"I fired the ring?" Hecate raised her brow.
"Yes! But not what I meant. I mean you grabbed it and bonked her across the galaxy with it. Then! You had your clone reinforce the Ark, connect with the other halos annnnd.. destroyed the universe. It was awesome.. You even killed the Light Goddess as collateral! She was hiding far away but the range you made it travel was crazy. You almost killed Rae there too until Sloth reversed causality~" Tearwyn bounced on her shoulder and admitted.
"That sounds insanely destructive. My KD ratio is insaaaane now" Hecate chuckled.
~Hahahahaha! Oh I guess she really was worried about her kill count!~ Pride laughed.
"Hmph. It is. Are we done? You're not giving me the feeling you're done" Raven asked, hopeful.
"Nah.. I hate losing after all" Hecate replied before her Balance Authority was unleashed.
All throughout the Omniverse, a small ripple echoed and universal laws bended. A cornicopia of colors coalesced into Hecate's being. Red Chaos, Blue Order, Black Darkness, White Light, Purple Destruction, Yellow Creation.
Hecate's clothes changed, into a hooded regal black and white dress that resembled a fusion between a shrine maiden and a warrior. Her two black and white fox ears peeked out of the hood as her fur and hair changed colors. Black, White and pink. With pink separating the two down the center perfectly. Her irises now split between four colors. Purple, Yellow, Red and Blue. Her slit pupils now forming a cross shape as she held Tearwyn in her arms and stroked her fur.
"You think Artoria'd mind if I borrowed some corruption?" Hecate asked, her voice a mix of ethereal and demonic.
"Oooh I see what you're doing~ I don't think so!" Tearwyn said with a giggle before opening a portal connecting to their world.
Hecate opened her palm as the corruption's liquid form hovered above it. Then she summoned in equal parts pure light, making it flow just as the black did. Hecate then surprised both Tearwyn and Raven by intertwining them. Both energies fiercely opposed began to clash before a third, grey energy emerged, wrapping around them both, like a grey bandage. The two opposing forced solidified into a very unique coiled straight sword. A sword that passively bent laws just by existing together in close proximity. Hecate turned to Raven, just to see her insanely excited face.
"Pffha! Never change, sis. Let's determine the winner this time though. Last round"
"Now you're speaking my language.." Raven grinned as the seven snakes converged behind her, transforming into large black feathered wings.
"Final battle! Goddess of Balance versus the Devil of Sins! Rae's up two to one! How do you feel, Hecate? Nervous?" Tearwyn asked, holding a mic up to Hecate.
"Nah. I'd win. Observe, my power ups!" Hecate spread her arms out with a big smile.
"Divine Reinforcement" Hecate spoke out, her body glowing with small silver circuits.
"Mana Burst" An extreme amount of magic then bursting from her body and lighting up the void of space.
"That seems much.." Raven said, though the grin never left her face.
"You earned it!" Hecate responded with a smile, before punching Raven so hard it shattered space and sent her through dimensions.
Hecate flew after her, swinging the sword of Balance at her that Raven barely managed to block. Its might weighing her down and smashing the dimensional void. Raven flew out of a tear in space, smashing through several trees and into a dome shaped white building with the words 'Capsule Corp' written on it.
Hecate casually walked through, a bounce in her step as she observed all the humans around her faint from her presence.
"Oh whoops! Gonna have the Artoria affect if I don't tone it down. Oh hey! DBZ!" Hecate smiled as she used the blade to block Raven's incoming swing with one hand.
"Aw no Mumei? Oh well, I'm sure she's busy" Hecate pouted a little, noticing several beings turning their attention to her and Raven.
Hecate began to slide back, feeling Raven steadily grow stronger as she pushed against her. Another clash of blades and Hecate was lifted into the air. Raven lunged again, onto to be stopped in place with a blue glow around her, trapping her with the Authority of Order before Hecate flipped and kicked Raven in the face with the intense red glow of Chaos. Hecate then appeared under her and met Raven's fist, shattering space again before three of her tails smacked Raven through once more.
"Hmmm.... One sec!" Hecate pointed her tail at the building, creating several boxes worth of female clothes before writing 'To: Mumei and Co, From: AssBusterFox9000.
Hecate nodded to herself proudly before flying through the spatial crack. A heel drove into her face as soon as she came out, smacking her through the roof of an exquisite-looking Castle. Hecate stopped her fall, just in time to see several magic spells fly past her. Raven stood atop the roof, looking down at Hecate. Behind the Goddess being an army of evil wizards and a ginger teen at the forefront of them. The ginger squinted and pointed a wand up at the Fox Goddess with an evil smirk, only for it to fade as his killing curses did absolutely nothing to her.
"Are we in Harry Potter? Is that Ron? Are those Reincarnators?" Hecate asked in confusion.
"Oh! What an unexpected development! Too bad Scrungo isn't here to see the state of his world~" Tearwyn chortled to herself.
"Hey, we're not done!" Raven complained, sending a giant crimson ball of flames into the horde of reincarnators.
"AH! HEY! THAT'S MY JOB!!" Hecate cried out, bisecting the evil Ron and throwing half of his still living body at Raven, who caught him by the head and crushed it with her bare hands.
"Then come up here and FIGHT ME!" Raven shouted back, receiving her wish as Hecate punched her in the face, smashing her through the magical castle before waving her blade and annihilating the rest of the reincarnators.
She made sure to record everything, just in case Scrungo wanted something to fall asleep to later.
Hecate flew after her, passing by scared paintings before ducking a decapitating swing from Raven and tearing open another rift in space and tackling her through.
And yet another Hogwarts is what greeted them. Though this time they were in the huge dining hall. Hecate threw a bowl of soup in Raven's face, splashing an innocent student and subsequently freaking everyone out.
"Wait.. Hogwarts agai-" Hecate looked off to the side, seeing Lilith in the doorway of the Dining hall with an 'amused' smile, seeing Hecate's face smashed with a loaf of hard bread.
"Now now~ You already appeared in this world. Off you go. I don't appreciate my entertainment being interrupted~" Lilith snapped her fingers, both of them flying through another rift yet again as everyone suddenly forgot about the impromptu food fight.
Both of them then fell into a well decorated house, smashing through the roof as Raven huffed in annoyance.
"Did you throw soup at me..?" Raven asked, wiping her face.
"The WORLD is my weapon, Rae-Rae- OHHHHH MY GOD!!" Hecate shouted in bliss, seeing Salem with another Tearwyn, dressed up like Artoria.
Artwyn instantly was scooped up by Hecate, who cradled both her and Plushwyn in her fluffy tails. Hecate totally engrossed in both Tearwyns, ignoring the scared Devils on the floor. Raven looked at Salem and raised her brow before looking at Sirzechs.
"I feel like I should ask.." Raven muttered before jealously looking at Hecate snuggling the two Tearwyns.
"Hello me!" Artwyn giggled and greeted Plushwyn.
"Hai me!" Plushwyn greeted back with a smile.
"Having fun?" Artwyn asked again, using Hecate's tail as a swing.
"Sure am! You?" Plushwyn responded, using Hecate's other tail as a slide.
"Yeah! Our sisters are awesome!" Artwyn proudly exclaimed with a happy nod.
"Thanks! I'll reluctantly leave you to.. Uh.. beat up Sirzechs? Then we can play some more" Hecate hugged and pat Artwyn before placing her back down on Sirzechs, making sure to stab him in the gut with the Balance blade while looking down at him threateningly.
"Do whatever she says or I'll use this to circumcise you THEN sodomize you!" Hecate threatened, seeing the incomprehensible agony Sirzechs was being subjected to, thanks to the Light Authority within the blade.
Seeing him nod with his mouth open in a silent scream, Hecate slashed open dimensions again before Raven sucker punched her into it. Raven then hugged both Artwyn and Tearwyn with a sigh of contentment.
"I'll be off now. Take care of her" Raven looked at Salem, receiving a polite bow in response.
"See you at home~" Artwyn waved as Raven flew through, Plushwyn on her back.
"You little shit.." Hecate cursed as Raven stepped out, blocking a heavy swing.
They seemed to be in space yet again. But this time, there were strange, floating places and worlds all around them. But strangest of all, were the Asian people in Chinese robes that were staring at them in shock.
"What is this? That sword.. Must be a treasure!" One of the young, handsome looking men shouted.
Looking closely, there seemed to be some sort of war going on. Between the normal looking Asians and one young man with dark powers. The Young man seemed to be slaughtering the normal looking men and women with a greatsword.
"Yun Che!!" Another one shouted in rage.
Hecate rolled her eyes as a few of the Cultivators flew at her and Raven.
"Alright.. Enough interruptions" Hecate infused the sword with Order and Chaos before rearing her arm back, giving Raven ample time to move away.
A catastrophic wave of energy swept across the Universe, destroying, unmaking, altering, ruining and creating all that it touched. Then, the battle resumed. Raven and Hecate locked blades once more. Snakes were held off by tails, Wrath's flames were held off by Order's aura, Pride was held off by punishing Light. The battle devastated the insanely strong universe that housed Cultivators. And though the native Cultivators tried their best to interfere in their fight, it only ever amounted to a slight delay in the battle before they were destroyed. Those who stayed far away were safe. Unfortunately, the main character, Yun Che was too close and had been obliterated in the fight.
The fight lasted a total of three days before a rift opened back up in the shared dimension. Hecate dragged Raven through, dropping her on her couch with a tired sigh.
"I'm... so sore.." Hecate whined, rubbing her back.
"Uuuurrrgh..." Raven simply retorted with a groan, face down in the couch in Hecate's office.
Hecate deactivated her Balance Authority and slumped down in her chair with a tired groan.
"...Hre uou gnnhg hhftr uoor bhhlnce ruhval? (Are you going after your Balance rival?)" Raven asked, muffled by the couch.
"Later.. way later. I don't even have all my Authorities yet. I'm just gonna chill. Hang out with my Wives.. Kill easy Reincarnators.. Maybe go to TFS Hellsing.. Fix Rosario Vampire.. Invite Muun to the Pantheon. Shit, dude.. I need a vacation" Hecate groaned.
"Aahhmuhn (Amen)" Raven responded, giving her a thumbs up.
