Choices

"Wow. How cocky can a monster be? I want to kill him right this second, Aaron. May I?" N stated, asking Aaron for permission, which surprised him. "You can injure and cripple him as much as you want, but do not kill him. I want to try to save him." Aaron responded, using his chance wisely. N laughed in response, confusing Aaron. "As I expected! You don't want to kill the child, just to see if he CAN be saved!" N exclaimed in Aaron's head, letting out his approval. "That's the best course of action. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to cripple the hell out of this monster."

Aaron watched as his body sprinted forward, N taking back control of his vocals. He decided to throw insults at the monster just to spice things up. "Hey! Cocky prick! I'm going to cripple you! Hope you don't mind losing some body parts!" N yelled out from Aaron's body. The monstrous Alec looked down at Aaron in amusement. "Oh? You want to play that game, huh? Well then. Two can face the roulette at once, and I'm forcing you to join in!" Alec yelled out, suddenly beginning to grow in size until he was around fifty metres in height. Great. That meant the tentacles were unnaturally sized as well. There was going to be no escaping these ones.

"So, fellow monster, what are you planning? Surely this is enough of an incentive to get you to accept your fate, right?" Alec mocked Aaron and N, causing N to get a bit pissed with this beast. "Well, all I'm going to say is that I'm currently limiting my true power by an unheard-of factor, so for you to try and mock me will be your downfall, Alec!" N yelled out as he used his incredible speed to jump into the air behind Alec's head. Alec just saw him go invisible, but when he realised what was happening, he couldn't turn around in time. His head got a devastating kick dealt to it, sending him into the castle-style town wall. His head smashed through some of the bricks, but N wasn't done with him. A black portal appeared near Aaron's fist, and a large one appeared above Alec. He was going to use this for a fun little party trick called a beatdown. N, with his control of Aaron, slammed Aaron's fist down into the black portal, causing a black fist to shoot down from the one above Alec. Aaron's fist crashed against Alec every single second as if his goal was to completely pulverise Alec. Alec cried out screams of pain every single time he was hit as his open wounds opened further, allowing for Aaron to hurt them more. "Stop! I beg of you! Please, don't throw another pu-" Alec yelled out as N made Aaron throw one last punch. N then pulled Aaron's hand back, ensuring that he didn't 'accidentally' throw out another attack.

"Tell me why I shouldn't continue beating you down, monster. After all, you can't defeat me. You should know this by now." N stated, cockily admitting his strength. He was underestimating Alec. "I'll do anything! Just let me live! I would even serve you for eternity!" Alec yelled out as tentacles burst out from the ground, creating a sphere around Aaron. "If I was an idiot, that is. Who the hell would serve the likes of you? You are a black, almost shapeless blob! You possess no good talents! All you have to your advantage is cockiness!" Alec's monstrous self yelled out as he saw that he was now in control. "Take this! Tenta-flare!"

A blue flame started to ignite the tentacles covering Aaron, which caused N to laugh. "Blue flames. Such a waste of energy. Surely he could at least try to go for white flames!" N commented as he heard Alec yell something. "White-hot Purity!" Alec yelled out, causing the spreading heat to turn a bright white. "Now we're talking!" N exclaimed, watching as these white flames spread all along with the dome of tentacles. His feet were encompassed in the blazing flames as he stood there, unaffected. He found it amusing, knowing that Alec thought he was slowly burning to a crisp in there. By all means, he should, but not many rules applied to a person on any boundless level.

N was getting somewhat bored of just standing around, so he used the portal he had created for a different purpose. He put his hand inside while disengaging the one outside. He wanted to use it to grab an item. He pulled his arm out of the black gateway to reveal a dagger. The Dagger of Dark Omen was its name. It came from a book Aaron had read in his first life, although N couldn't figure out what it was. He stabbed the dagger into the tentacles, making sure that it wouldn't melt because of the flames by coating it in a special anti-flammable liquid that also protected against heat. He dragged the dagger through the tentacles like a hot knife through butter. N watched as the lower half of the tentacle ball fell away, with him in it.

"What!? I thought you would've burned to death!" Alec yelled out, letting out another inhuman screech as N made Aaron hold his covered ears. "Will you SHUT UP?! I can't THINK with your screeching!" N yelled out, teleporting behind Alec once again. This time, Alec was prepared. He turned around to use his hand to grab Aaron, but N just smashed through Alec's hand like it was paper. Alec let out a scream as he held his bleeding hand.

"Now, you have two choices, Alec. You can either continue fighting and play a game with death, or you can submit, allowing me to seal you once again. What is your choice?" Aaron asked, taking manual control of his voice. This surprised N, but he then remembered something. He only was supposed to have lost his Telekinesis for twelve hours. It must be nearing its completion time. He smiled, watching as he let Aaron take control.

Barold just watched from a distance, dumbfounded, but he knew what he had to do. Should the worst happen, he needed to use the technique passed down through his family. You know the one.
