Superwarrior’s Last Excelsior.

It was a calm day throughout New Orange.

Superwarrior was flying through the peaceful city.

It was a sunny day, people were going about their day, and Superwarrior was currently the only hero at present, as the others were on other assignments. The Man of Marvels gently landed on top the pole of the highest building in the city.

Superwarrior smiled as he looked down.

A boy, wearing a shirt with Superwarrior's emblem and colors, was helping an elderly woman across the street. He saw a fireman help a cat down a tree, while the cat owner, a young girl wearing the emblem and colors of Astarte, was looking on - the fireman too was wearing the emblem of Flitterman on his uniform.

" So many fans. " thought Superwarrior to himself, both honored and humbled.

Superwarrior also noticed Elias P. Hudge sitting by a café, enjoying a cup of tea.

" My sun. "

Superwarrior was delighted to see his wife, Sol, flying before him.

" My love. " said Superwarrior, gently and with affection. He then noticed the worried and concerned look on her face.

" What is it? " he asked.

Sol said nothing. She simply flew into his embrace. Haytham could feel that she was slightly shaking. He then feel something else, as his hand accidentally landed on her stomach.

" You're pregnant! " exclaimed Superwarrior, excitedly.

Sauelsuesor also looked happy. But her happiness was quickly replaced with sorrow.

" Hey " said Superwarrior, lovingly, as he gently lifted her chin, looking deep into her eyes; " we can do this. We are going to be amazing parents. "

Sol could no longer hold her tears back.

" That is not what worries me… " she said, while sobbing lightly.

" Then what? " asked Superwarrior, while trying to console her.

" Your death… "

Haytham froze. He could no longer feel the warmth of the sun.

" My death? " said Superwarrior, while trying to maintain a steady voice.

" He is returning. " before Superwarrior could ask: who? Sol said: " Judgment day. "

" Absolutely not, " said Mr. Representative, as Superwarrior was standing within his office; " I won't allow you to fight him all by yourself. "

Salvation looked worriedly at Haytham.

" I defeated him once before. "

Mr. Representative paused for a moment.

" The SCP Foundation has been keeping an eye on him - another pause - he has gotten stronger… "

" So have I. " said Superwarrior, as a fourth name of God was visible on his chest.

Bill just looked at him.

" Haytham… please wait for back-up. "

" Sir… " said Salvation, looking out the window.

" Please don't say it… "

The whole building shook.

Mr. Representative looked at her.

" Well… you told me not to say it… " said Samantha with a faint smile.

From the window. The three of them looked upon the massive crater. A gust of wind filled the room, as Superwarrior flew to the scene.

" Dammit! " cursed Bill; " Salvation. "

" Sir? "

" Tell Rabbi Loew to keep Blazkowicz in reserve. We might need his Geb-Golem. Tell him to use his regular golems to evacuate and help the civilians " Mr. Representative looked out the window once more; " judgment day has arrived. "

Flying just above the massive crater, as the smoke and dust slowly cleared away. Superwarrior saw him… Qiyâmah. But something was off.

" He has changed. He has evolved. "

The creature slowly flew up to Superwarrior, as the two of them were now at eye level.

" What are you? " asked Superwarrior, his arms crossed.

" Quasar Qiyâmah " said the creature with a booming and celestial voice.

Superwarrior waited for it.

" But please, just call me: Qarqar. "

There it was.

The two godlike beings looked at one another.

The names of God, along with his eyes and hair, all glowed a bright white, as Superwarrior went in for a punch. You might be thinking: why did he attack first? Why not negotiate a peaceful surrender?

Dear reader… you weren't there. You did not see that eldritch entity. That ghoulish body. Eyes that screamed: murder. Bloody knuckles. And a frighteningly evil aura. That is why Superwarrior punched first… not that it mattered. For Qarqar had easily caught his fist. Superwarrior looked on in horror and disbelief. He could not even utter: how? Before Qarqar sent him flying into space with a single punch.

Mr. Representative and Salvation both looked on, from the screen within the office, as Qarqar flew after the Man of Marvels. Several punches were exchanged between these two titans of power.

Superwarrior had rarely felt any real pain. So the fact that he could feel Qarqar's punches, almost amplified the pain, a hundred fold.

Qarqar now held him by the throat, as he looked upon the glowing name on Superwarrior's chest. Using his index finger as a scalpel. Qarqar was running his finger on the edges of the name. Bill and Samantha looked on in horror, as Qarqar was slowly cutting away at Superwarrior's flesh.

Haytham, with tears in his eyes, tried desperately to stop him. But he almost seemed powerless.

Qarqar then ripped off the bit of the chest that had the name on it.

Superwarrior gritted his teeth tightly, so as not to scream. For he knew that was what Qarqar wanted. Haytham then looked on in disgust, as Qarqar ate his flesh.

" Ew… " said Superwarrior.

" Delicious! " said Qarqar, happily.

" Double ew… "

Superwarrior then realized that he was also fighting time. For the names of God were what gave him powers. And without the name on his chest, the three others were slowly disappearing.

Qarqar startled, not from Superwarrior smiling, but from the fact that Superwarrior was slowly removing Qarqar's hand from his throat.

" Do you know when a hero is most dangerous? " said Superwarrior with the aforementioned smile; " when they have nothing to lose, and the whole world to save! "

Superwarrior sendt Qarqar flying deeper into space.

" Salvation… " said Superwarrior, for he could feel that Mr. Representative was paralyzed by fear.

Samantha knew what he wanted. She pressed the button, and the citizens of New Orange could now see and hear the battle.

Superwarrior punched Qarqar once more. He had but a few seconds left.

" Now! " yelled Superwarrior, as he was getting ready for the third and final punch; " I want you all to say it with me!!! "

The citizens of Vespuccia all closed their fists. From his earpiece, Mr. Representative could hear Superwarrior say: " Please sir. "

Bill opened his eyes. He clenched his fist, and along with everyone, he yelled:

" Excelsior! "

Qarqar looked on, as Superwarrior was flying straight towards him… with a smile on his face.

The punch connected as Excelsior could be seen in big letters behind the scenes. That was when the names vanished, which meant that cold space was able to kill the Man of Marvels, who died still smiling. Alongside Judgment day.

Übermensch cried when he brought his teacher back to Theia. He held Superwarrior's body, which was covered in his cape, as he made his way down the street. On each side of the street stood: citizens, heroes, and golems alike: all saluting. As Übermensch walked past Mr. Representative. Bill recalled the very first day he had met Superwarrior.

" Name? "

" Haytham. Haytham Miles. "

Bill wrote that down.

" Hero name? "

" Superwarrior. "

Bill wrote that down.

" What made you want to become a hero? "

" I wish to help people. "

Bill looked at Haytham a bit skeptical.

" That simple? "

" That simple. "

Bill smiled approvingly, as he looked upon Haytham's sincere smile.

" This way, Superwarrior. "

" Please, sir: just call me Haytham. "
