Chapter 61 - Cataclysm 3
"Open, Gate of Time Wizard, Tempus." chanted Lisa with a silver key with two green clock arrows on.
*Ding* *Dong*
A gate opened and revealed a little red clock with two blue eyes and two green clock arrows as its nows. Red arms with white gloves on where in the right hand is a little staff with a small clock on top. On each shoulder area golden-colored gear from a watch and one big one on its head, wearing it like a crown.
(A/N: Reference is Time Wizard from Yu-Gi-Oh)
"Time. Is it time?" mumbled the watch with confusion and touched its nose to check the time.
"Time. It's not time. Did I set the time wrong?" After touching its nose, it looked at its staff with a little clock on. Though instead of checking the time, it got immersed in the beauty of the clock and lifted in the air like it was worshipping it.
"Pull your gears together your stupid clock" Umon destroyed the romantic moment the clock had with its staff by grabbing it and lighting the little Celestial Spirit called Tempus.
Seeing Umon, the cute little watch got scared and almost forsake its dear staff to run away. But because of its love, it couldn't bring itself to do it. It kept holding bravely onto the staff but its clock nose arrows kept spinning around, showing just how afraid it is of Umon.
"Use your time spell on that dragon, or you won't like what I'm going to do to your little clock on this staff He He He." He threatened Tempus.
"Stop threatening him! "Lisa came to the rescue, though a second after she asked the same thing.
"Time. If you give me a new clock I will do it." The little Tempus thought he could earn another clock.
"How about I don't destroy the staff I gave you last time you pulled the same stunt?" Lisa said before moving in to grab the staff.
Panicking and cursing itself for being a bad merchant, Tempus hurriedly exclaimed "Time-time-time-time out. I was just kidding. I will do it, so leave my staff alone."
"Then do it now." Lisa and Umon said in unison and he let go of the staff he was lifting. The watch had a deep respect for Lisa, on the other side, it greatly feared Umon as he is the most wanted Celestial Spirit in the Spirit World right now. If it wasn't out because it feared that Lisa might be punished for having a contract with him, Tempus would have surely reported Umon's location to the Spirit King.
[Time Peak]
The little clock began floating and raised its staff in the direction of the white dragon before it shined and the clock arrow moved forward a little. Lisa, Umon, and Tempest's view suddenly changed and they could see another Umon charge at the dragon, destroying the ground under him and appeared beside the dragon's eye and stapping his hand inside. The white dragon, Snowfall, roared in pain.
*Boom*
A thundering boom sounded in the distance that made the three move the attention to it. Lisa's heart beated very hard with anxiety as it's in the direction where Marc was. A long lake was formed and Lisa tried very hard to look for Marc and moved closer to it.
She heard a few splashed and Rofta, Leona, and Asi appeared on the surface of the lake looking anxiously around. Looking at Rofta she saw him look somewhere with horror and regret.
Robotitly, Lisa turned to look and had a bad foreboding. When she saw it she felt despair and was devastated by the sight.
A the start of the river, Marc was standing on it with the lake behind his back. What left Lisa like her world was crumbling was that his two arms-- were no more. Gone with the shoulders that made his blood flow like a dam. The last thing she managed to see before her view changed back to where Snowfall was about to kill the last soldier from Seven, was a dark blue see-through hand as big as Marc in front of him.
"MAAARC!!!" Lisa who had just seen a few seconds into the future roared in anxiety and began running back in the direction she just left Marc. The sight of him losing his arms brought despair.
"Damn it all!" Cursed Umon who saw it all too, together with her and Tempus. From his experience, he knew that even if Lisa managed to reach Marc before the attack, she would not have the power to stop it. Losing only two arms would be a miracle for her.
Disregarding the consequences, Umon reached out with his hand and put it into a dark hole that appeared in the air, and pulled out a blue and gold longsword that began shining with a golden shine.
…
In the Celestial World.
The Celestial Spirit King was sitting on his throne with closed eyes. He looked almost identical to when Lucy summoned him in the anime, except he didn't have his long pointy beard-- and his sword.
He abruptly opened his eyes when he felt the disturbance he was looking for coming from Earth Land.
"Found you, Umon. I won't let you get away again. You have to pay for killing our contractor. Rules are rules and even if her character was...malicious, you shouldn't have killed her. Dissolving the contract as I did would have been enough. Why won't you tell me the reason you kept enduring being her summon when you could have left her behind when I did? What made you kill her and forcefully stay in Earth Land to kill Celestial Mages? Are you doing it again? I will get the answers this time." The Celestial Spirit King stood up from his throne and looked into the starry before bursting into a golden light and flew up.
…
Umon had just taken out the sword he stole from once an old friend when he escaped prison in the Celestial World. The sword that every new Celestial Spirit King inherits when they become the king.
That's to say it's no ordinary sword and packs powers that would normally kill the wielder if the person isn't the Celestial Spirit King. Umon is an exception as his Regeneration- and Muscle Augmentation Magic makes him able to forcefully wield the sword at the cost of his body being broken down and repaired continually.
With the Celestial Spirit King's sword in his hand, Umon used three seconds to kill the white dragon. He appeared behind Snowfall with and pulled the sword back with two hands before his arms swelled and got ten times thicker before he cut the dragons head cleanly off from behind. The young and arrogant dragon that no one could deal with him here, died without even knowing.
Before the dragon head reached the ground, Umon was already heading in Marc and the others direction, and ran by the panicked Lisa. She didn't even reach halfway there, before he ran by her with his overloaded black muscles that looked like completely unnatural.
When he reached the gold dome with everyone inside, the sea dragon, Etoirir had already fired its [Water Dragon's Roar] spell that were continually breaking through Rofta's earth pillars that he made lesson the attack.
Standing right before the golden dome with his sword raised over his head, Umon took his [Muscle Argumentation] to its limit. His whole body bulged and grew so much that his black body began showing red cracks with blood flooding out. Paying it no heed, Umon slashed down with the sword, sending an enormous golden-colored slash in the direction of the dragon attack. It cut right through Rofta's remaining earth pillars and met the water beam, before continuing cutting right through it.
Etoirir's dragon instinct suddenly warned him of the incoming danger, so he turned his head sideways and stopped his dragon breath attack. Right beside his head, he saw a gold flash go by that cut his chin shallowly before hitting his wing. Etoirir's scales he was so proud of, were cut right trough and the wing landed on the ground.
*Roar*'
Watching the dragon roaring with pain, Umon was satisfied and didn't care that his arms had just exploded. Because they were steadily regenerating at a fast speed.
"Marc!! Marc!!" Lisa finally reached the place and began hitting the dome furiously they were hiding in.
Shortly after, the dome began melting and revealed the people inside. Not caring about her image, Lisa jumped at Marc crying. The only person who had any idea what is- and will happen soon is Umon. So before things get out of his hand, he focused the regeneration on one arm before picking up the sword again to kill Etoirir.
"Life is good when you spend it with the people who make you happy, so why do people like you insist of taking that happiness away." Umon questioned in a low voice, not asking anyone particular, before charging at the dragon. When he tried to slash with the sword again, it suddenly forcefully stopped in the air.
"So he's here already." Stated Umon and looked in the sky where the Celestial Spirit King was flying in his direction.

(A/N: I have always wanted to see more of the Celestial Spirit King and more about the black keys. So I created Umon as a character based on The Punisher. The thing about the sword is also nonsense I made up if you are wondering.)
