Flash's body was cut into tiny pieces and the trees behind him were destroyed.
Wonder closed his eyes. "I can sense them…far away…three powerful predators are with them." Wonder purred.
Gem flew out of the mountain and kneeled. "Your majesty! Before we make anymore progress, you need to wait for the others. The portal hasn't-"
"Say no more, child." Wonder said as he put his hands together and pulled them apart. A rainbow colored aura appeared. "Come to me…my children." Wonder said.
Joster lay on the ground while trying to treat his wounds. Xavier jumped up and shot a beam of flames at Wonder.
"Useless." Wonder whispered. Wonder thought about water. The flames became water and splashed over him. Wonder absorbed the water in his skin and continued his spell.
"What the-"
Gem punched Xavier back to the ground, beside Joster. "You did damage." Joster smirked.
"Like you could do any better!" Xavier argued.
Joster relaxed his face. "Don't attack him anymore. Stay back and wait…or you'll get caught." Joster ordered.
Xavier let out a loud whistle that called night-wing. "What do you mean?"
"Star knew he would die if he led the attack. He isn't strong, not at all. But, when the higher-ups killed his family, he managed to attract a star explosion that happened millions of years ago." Joster explained.
"What…are you talking about?"
"Idiot. My sister really did make love to a dumbass. A Star explosion! It's normal science! Even on Earth, we are pretty much living in the past. The light from the sun takes seven seconds to reach Earth. The heat we are feeling right now…was old light from the sun. So, Star used his aura to attract the star explosion closer than usual. The plan was to lure the egg out and vaporize it. If I'm right, the beam of energy should be approaching in just a few seconds." Joster explained.
Suddenly, a giant portal opened up in the sky. Obsidian, Amethyst, Opal, Amber,Lapis, and Marcel all fell around the king.
"I think…I understand it now." Xavier said as Titan slowly emerged out of the portal.
"The king…has the power to think something and make it reality!" Xavier said.
"Either the others are dead or I can't remember them. I'm sorry, Marcel." Wonder said in a soft tone.
Xavier didn't know what to do. All of them showed powerful levels of aura that broke the power scale. "Crystal's aura…doesn't even come close to Obsidian! We…need to-"
"No. We fight." Joster argued. "The beam…is here! You all are dead!" Joster yelled as a beam of light was approaching the king and his people.
Titan took a step forward, shaking the entire ground. "There's no need." Wonder said. "I need to test my abilities on powerful enemies. I want to see myself at full power." Wonder said.
Amethyst couldn't take her eyes off him Wonder. "You're…so beautiful." She said with tears of joy.
The beam of light was getting closer and closer. Wonder held out his hand and closed his eyes.
"Nothing can survive that. We've won, Xavier-"
Joster stopped talking when seeing Wonder stop the powerful blast with just one claw. The explosion caused everything to blow away.
Xavier and Joster were amazed by the king's incredible strength. Wonder finally touched the ground, changing the environment.
"I never thought I'd fight beside you…loser." Joster said as he pulled out his sword.
Wonder sat down and pointed at the two. "I wish to talk. There's no need for anymore bloodshed. I have questions."
Xavier and Joster gave each other a look. "Questions?" They both asked.
"Yes. I would like to know…who is the strongest fighter? I…have faint memories of everyone. There's a boy…he is on my list, A tall man hat wears a suit, and another one hiding amongst you. I could think about the future, but that would ruin the fun." Wonder purred.
"This bastard is insane!" Joster yelled.
"I'm sparring your lives. Tell me where I can find a challenge." Wonder demanded.
Obsidian and Opal slowly approached the king. "Your majesty, maybe we should-"
"No. I want them to talk."
Xavier reached behind his back to pull out night-wing's claw. "I'll never give up my family!"
Wonder's eyes went up in surprise. "What…is family? What is that creature?"
Xavier ignored Wonder. "We doing it or what?"
Joster smirked and rushed the king. Obsidian and Opal prepared themselves. Wonder raised his hand to stop them. "Rest…my children."
Wonder got up and began to stretch.
I have to make a move…as soon as he moves. Xavier thought.
With terrifying speed, Wonder leaped across the field, grabbed Joster's face, and dragged him across the ground. "Soft skin…weak." Wonder said as he threw Joster into a nearby tree.
Xavier managed to sneak behind Wonder. Wonder jumped in the air with great force and used the trees around the area to travel.
Flashes of light surrounded Xavier. Joster snapped his fingers, erasing all of the trees in the area. Xavier had a clear shot on Wonder.
Night-wing came from the clouds and managed to catch Wonder. "Oh?" Wonder laughed as the bird began to swing him and throw him in the air.
Wonder spun around, jumped on top of the bird and sliced it's wings off.
Joster stabbed Wonder through his stomach.
"Majesty!" Obsidian yelled. "Do not fear, child. This is nothing." Wonder laughed as he turned around and slapped Joster back to the ground.
"Tell me where the predators are!" Wonder yelled as Xavier threw a barrage of punches. The king stomped, causing large pieces of the ground to fly up. Wonder jumped on the flying chunks. Xavier followed as the two engaged in close-combat. "Excellent!" Wonder laughed.
Joster came behind Wonder again and this time, managed to land a powerful punch. The three men started destroying the entire area.
"Joster, we need to match our time better." Xavier yelled as Wonder landed a blow to his stomach. Xavier coughed up blood and held his stomach.
"Can I…control this?" Wonder asked himself as roots from the ground shot up and started wrapping around Joster.
Xavier popped up and sliced through the vines. "Amazing! Keep coming!" Wonder laughed. Joster and Xavier both raised their aura and charged the king together.
Wonder snapped his fingers. "Decay!" Xavier's right arm began to feel a sharp pain. The skin was coming off.
"Shit." Xavier said. "Night-wing slash!" The lighting strike struck Wonder. Joster built up his aura and punched Wonder with great force. "Anymore?" Wonder asked.
"What?!" Joster said as he jumped back.
The two men were fatigued. "That bastard…we aren't even hurting him. He's just letting us do this so he can test his powers." Joster explained.
"You…are correct. But, there's one thing you didn't know about me." Wonder said with a twisted smile.
The power coming from Wonder sent chills down Xavier's spine. "Joster we need to get out of here!" Xavier said.
"My people have been around you…mainly Crystal and Gem. I…have absorbed all of their memories,personalities, and a small pinch of their powers. If I mange to eat you…I'll gain more strength and have your abilities!" Wonder said as he floated and pointed at the sun.
Damn it! Xavier is trying to run! We can't run! If we let him go…if we fail…all this death will be for nothing! Nothing! Doesn't he see that? Why are you so afraid!? Joster thought. "What are you afraid of, Xavier!? You survived a fire! Your stronger than before! You can move well! Why? Why run away?" Joster asked.
Xavier stopped and looked at the ground. A giant shadow formed as a great ball of energy formed. "This is just a taste…of what I've really got. You two weren't even a challenge." Wonder yawned. "Now…die my children." Wonder threw the ball of energy and it slowly approached the two men.
"When Jade was with that group, I lost my whole family. I wasn't strong enough to protect them. Hell, I'm even dating the person who killed them." Xavier said as he fell to his knees. "It's not about losing or winning. I'm just so damn weak! I couldn't even protect the people I cared for! I…I need to go darker." Xavier said as he ripped off Mia's cape. "Take this and give it to Jade. I'm going to use my hidden troop technique." Xavier said as his arm was in more pain than before.
"It's not your time." Joster said with a smirk. "One…last push, Xavier?" Joster said as him and Xavier stood beside each other.
"My force field isn't as strong as yours, Jade. But, I'll give it everything I've got! Let's go, Xavier!" Joster yelled as he shot his aura in the sky to power-up. A clear aura combined with a purple-like aura shot in the air.
"They still fight?" Opal asked as Obsidian and Amethyst looked in shock.
Xavier and Joster jumped as the ball and tried to push it back towards Wonder. "These creatures…are really something else. They know I could simply think of the ball not being stopped…but they keep fighting. For that, I'll see how this plays out." Wonder said as he folded his arms and watched.
"PUSH, XAVIER!" Joster yelled.
"IM TRYING! ARE YOU EVEN HELPING!?"
At this rate we'll be crushed by the energy. I need to release it all! It's the only way to stop this! Joster thought as he raised his energy level.
Even if we stop this attack, we can't beat the king. What's the point? Xavier thought.
"Fight!" Joster yelled. "You want Jade to be wiped out!? Your friends!? If not, fight! Fight to win! Fight!" Joster yelled.
"Damn it!!!" Xavier yelled as he raised his levels too.
Wonder looked on with surprise as the ball was coming back. "You two were the first to lay a hand on me…I…still have to improve. I shall make your deaths quick." Wonder said as he summoned another ball and threw it back.
Joster and Xavier held out their hands and yelled. A bright light covered the entire area. The balls of energy caused an explosion greater than that of a nuke to go off.
Everything was blown away and burnt to crisp. Wonder floated above the burnt land and looked for the two of them.
"Amazing!" Amethyst laughed.
"It's not good enough. They escaped. I need a real challenge." Wonder yawned as he was now face to face with his crew.
"Lapis and Marcel…come here."
A green-like creature formed around the king. "Yes,sir?" Lapis said in a deep tone.
"Locate the man they call "Udo" I can remember him through my memories. I want you to look at him and track his energy through my mind." Wonder said as he sat down.
"I'm not capable of-"
"You are now." Wonder said as he folded his arms and began to sleep.
"Marcel…who was that child?" Wonder asked as went to sleep.
"Umm…is he awake or? I'll just speak. But, who are you referring-"
"The one in all black,beautiful locs, and with black aura." Wonder answered as Lapis had taken a smaller form and entered in Wonder's ear.
I can't tell him the truth about Adisa. I…still need him. Marcel thought.
Wonder's ears twitched. "He is a nobody. Just a kid with anger issues. I used him for his power. I gave him information in exchange."
"I see." Wonder replied.
******
"Captain! Are you okay?" Splinter grabbed Adisa and pulled him out of the ruble. "You got messed up." Splinter laughed.
"I…can't stand you." Adsia said.
******
Time went by and Wonder finally opened his eyes. He looked on in a unknown area. "What is it?" Obsidian asked.
******
Jade,Silva, Jerome and the rest of the army all sat down and told the divine three everything.
Udo was bruised and beaten. While his grandfather revived information, Udo continued to train in another room.
He stopped and felt a powerful force of energy flood over his body. "From this distance? You can sense me?"
Udo thought as he kicked open the door. "EVERYONE, RUN! Udo yelled. Eevyone was confused. Udo quickly grabbed his swords and pushed as many people as he could out of the room.
The tree…will is be able to stop him!? Udo thought.
******
A smirk appeared across Wonder's face. "Found you." He purred.
