RUN

"Now…it's time for some fun". Aten stretched and took a knee while looking over the city and it's people.

"Look at this mess. It's not enough death and agony. Have people running from monetsers, killing each other, and the brats are just wandering off. This is annoying".

The city looked like a warzone. People were running around, fighting off Obsidian's creatures, burning buildings, and more.

"Hey, don't any of you have respect? Who cares about these creatures kneel before me". Aten whispered to himself.

Eveyone kept running and trying to escape the infection.

"I said…KNEEL!!" Aten used Adisa's sword and combined it with his aura. The swung it. Causing his aura to travel through the air.

Thousands of people had their heads sliced off in an instant. The only ones who survived were the one who ducked to the ground.

******

Before Aten unleashed his attack.

Jade,Alayah, Xavier, Alicia, Gritha, Sendra, and Joster stayed on the roof of a building. "You guys feel that power? You think it's just Adisa?!" Xavier asked.

"Captain's power isn't that tense. It's him. It's-"

Evryone caught a glimpse of a black line traveling towards the building. The building was sliced in half.

Sendra held out her hand. Her orange aura allowed evryone to stand on air as the building collapsed.

"The hell? You can make air a solid or something? Alayah asked.

"Something like that". Sendra grabbed Alicia. "We can't fight that. He's too strong". Gritha said.

"We fight him together".

"No, babe. Even if we were to actually manage to corner him. It means we damage Adisa's body. I don't want anyone here to die. We can't fight him together. We wouldn't be strong enough". Jade explained.

Gritha stared at the ground with Joster. "All those people are…"

Eveyone turned their attention towards the city and noticed the pile of bodies laying on the street.

"Oh no". Jade flew on the street and stood in the middle. "All these people…are dead. That thing killed them". Jade bit her lip, as her aura flared.

"Calm down. There's nothing we can-"

"There's always something we can do!" Jade snapped. She removed Xavier's hand and walked down the street.

"What's the plan then?" Joster asked.

"The humans aren't gonna like us. There's no point of hiding who we are. If the creatures attack us or anyone who can't defend themselves…we help them. We'll transfer the remaining citizens to this side of the city. Evryone here is dead and I don't see the monsters. Bring them here and then we will flush out the enemies". Jade explained.

Eveyone nodded in agreement. "Here's the plan".

******

Aten put the sword in its holder and yawned. "All of these creatures. Feels like yesterday. Well, I'll just head towards the group and-"

Aten was surprised to see pieces of wall shooting from behind him. Aten turned around to see Gem on the opposite of the building.

"You're the one…who took out my prey, huh? My danger senses are going crazy and I feel like I know you from somewhere. Tell me who you are". Gem ordered.

Aten gave Gem a disguising look. "I'm not from the era or world. If you know me…it's because of your king. Now, leave me be". Aten said. He turned around and prepared himself to jump out of the building.

Gem flashed his aura. "I didn't say you could leave".

"Who are you…to order the king of Akies around?"

"Something off about you. Die!" Gem held out his arm. His arm grew across the room and almost grabbed Aten.

With incredible speed, Aten had dodged the attack and sat at a nearby desk. "Funny…isn't? How simple you insects are. Everyone here is just a waste of an organism. Everything is controlled…even you". Aten said.

Gem gasped. Gem couldn't feel his arms or legs. Gem looked down to see he had been severed in half.

"Oh, don't make that face. You're acting like you can't just regenerate. Before I kill you, I do want answers, you know". Aten said in a calm tone.

Gem ignored him and healed his body. Gem shapeshifted into an elephant-like creature and shot a ray of energy towards Aten.

"Weak". He coughed.

Aten held out his hand. He absorbed the blast. "Back in my era…something like this would wipe out an entire planet. Maggots". Aten snapped his fingers. The room lit up with a bright red light.

Gem was sent flying out of the building and flew through the air. (This man…he…he isn't like the others! The plan if failing! The more kills the Akies get…the stronger Udo becomes. We can't let this…thing keep killing the humans!)

"Going somewhere?" Aten flew underneath Gem with his hands behind his head.

"D…don't you dare doubt me! We beast are better than you damn Akies-"

Aten grabbed Gem by the mouth, stopping them from flying. "Do not compare me to these weak maggots. Now, are you gonna keep running or are you gonna fight?"

Aten pushed Gem away. Gem felt like his jaw had been broken. Gem flew a few feet back and dragged hard. (This ain't right! This man's power…is greater than Udo's! Who is he? I've never heard or seen him before! I need to warn the others-)

"I bet…you're thinking about telling the rest of your crew. That's fine. More killing for me".

Gem clapped his hands together. "Damn you! I didn't think I'd have to do this…but…I'll unleash my full power! Primal unleashed: Chimera Soldeir!"

Powerful winds blew hinderes of buildings away. Corpse, trees, and more flew through the sky and city.

Gem's transformation had caused an aura explosion throughout the area. Aten was surprised. "All of this yelling? For what?"

Red eyes glared at him through the dust. Gem had long horns on his head, thick fur around his legs, claws, and a slimmer body frame.

"Disgusting". Aten smirked. "I'm actually surprised". He chuckled.

"This is the first time I've ever had to go this far. You're finished now!" Gem laughed.

"Finished? No, I'm just surprised you think such idiotic tricks are enough to defeat me".

Gem growled and flew towards Aten. "Mega…punch!" Gem pulled her right arm back and threw a punch.

He had punched Aten in the face. The punch had erased two buildings. Aten flew through the two before stopping himself.

He looked up to see a giant leg. Gem kicked Aten into the ground.

(My attack missed? Wait, this isn't him!)

Aten tapped Gem on the shoulder. "Come on. Try harder".

Gem roared and punched at Aten with no thought. "Fighting with your emotions is selfish. It's how you easily get countered and killed". Aten explained while dodging each punch.

Aten jumped back. Gem held out his hand and said "compact".

Aten felt his organs beginning to twist. "I see. Weak". Aten held his hands together. "I think I'm done toying with you. I'll kill you".

(My attack had no affect?!) Gem flew in the sky. "You can't leave the barrier. Why would you go…oh, I see. Yes, you plan on using an ultimate technique?" Aten laughed.

Gem ignored him and flew. He placed his feet on the barrier and began to charge up an attack.

People in the area noticed the ball of aura in the sky. People started running and pushing evryone out of the way.

Aten stood in the middle of the crowd. Everything had slowed down for him. "All these maggots. I hate you all".

******

Jade and the others noticed the ball of energy. "It's gonna destroy the entire city! We have to get to cover-"

"I dont allow any of you to move. If you move an inch…I'll kill you where you stand". Aten whispered in Jade's ear.

Xavier reached for his blade. Aten held his hands toward Sendra. "I want you brats to watch before I come for you". Aten said as he flew back towards Gem.

Evryone stayed in place, knowing the consequences. (If we move…we're dead. We just sit here and watch something that's gonna kill us?)

Aten walked through the crowd of people. His shoulders swayed in a slow motion, his chest out, and head held high. Nothing could touch him.

"I'll show you maggots…what a trua aura master looks like".

The hall of energy had stopped growing. "This is it, man! You and this city are dead! The points…will go to the king". Gem yelled, as he threw the ball.

(This is it! We've won!)

Aten smirked. "You fool. Have you learned nothing?"

Aten took in the moment. The beautiful night sky, the perfect ball of death, the fascinating horror, people around screaming and running.

"This is all so-real. I feel like…something great is bound to come!" Aten held out both of his hands he swang them around in circular motion. "I won't even use a technique".

Aten's black aura formed and took shape. A long black spear, with a silver sharp edge, and gold symbols around the body, formed in Aten's hand. "One of my fabulous weapons: spear of destruction".

Aten spread his legs apart and took a deep breath. "Gotcha". Aten threw the spear towards Gem. The spear connected with the ball, destroying it on impact.

(My aura erases other aura. My spear is a item that I can transfer my aura in and erase any aura attack that comes my way)

The spear was close to Gem. Gem turned into a bird to dodge it. Gem reverted back to his normal form and dove towards Aten.

"Return". The spear redirected itself in the air and penetrated Gem through the stomach.

"I…refuse to die here!" Gem opened his mouth. Aten's eyes grew wide, as he was caught off guard.

Aten could hear Gem's aura gathering up inside of him. "Gonna shoot a blast? I wanna see it". Aten chuckled with his hands held out.

(Cocky bastard!)

Gem unleashed the attack. Aten stood still and took the attack head on. The smoke cleared and Aten walked out with his hands out. "This all? Thought you beast got a power boost?"

Gem slammed his hands into the ground. His arms stretched underneath the ground and multiplied.

Aten jumped towards a building. A building on his left was picked up and thrown at him.

Aten held out his hand. "Blast".

The building shattered to pieces. Gem flew behind Aten. (This is all I've got! The finishing hit! My ultimate punch)

Gem pulled his arm back. Aten turned his head. "I'll be using this to kill you". Aten held out his hand and stretched his arms out. Choking Gem and lifting him above the buildings.

"I copy all moves. Now, you die".

Aten pulled his arm back. "Black thrust!" Aten threw a jab with his aura. The aura traveled towards Gem and knocked the head off of Gem's body.

"One maggot down". Aten said, as Gem's body collapsed on the ground. Aten walked over and touched the body, erasing it from existence.

Aten looked around and noticed all of the people hiding in buildings. A smile appeared across his face.

******

Jade and evryone stayed still. "Do we move or what? You think it was a bluff?" Joster asked.

"I don't think so. This thing…it's no joke". Xavier said. "It was be wise to just…avoid fighting it or pissing it off".

Jade looked at Alicia. She had an idea. "Can't she grant us a wish or something?"

"It's not so simple. I don't even know how you know that?" Sendra said.

"I…listen". Jade smirked.

"Alicia…isn't from this island or world. Hell, we don't even know what she is. But, yes, she grants wishes. Can be anything you want…of course it comes with a price. You have a battle wish, life wish, and a third I've never seen". Gritha explained.

"I want to look at her and ask…but, I'm sure it wasn't playing around". Jade said.

Joster rolled his eyes. "I'll look". Joster had moved his arm an inch. It was immediately sliced off by an unknown source of power.

Everyone was stunned. Joster collapsed towards the ground. "Brother!" Jade screamed. No one could help. They were frozen by fear of being cut.

Joster landed head first on the ground and didn't move. "This…doesn't make sense! How did he-?"

******

Aten ran through the crowd of people, killing them one by one and at a quick rate. "That's it! Run!" Aten laughed. He pulled out Adisa's sword and sliced a woman's head off.

Aten heard a clicking sound behind him. Aten spun around to see a dark,senister, and black cofffin floating a little behind him.

Aten froze. He could feel his heart pounding through his chest. "The kid…really did it? Even I'm shocked you were able to summon the black coffin. That means…he doesn't have long until- oh, no". Aten put the sword away and jumped away from the humans.

(How could he have done it?! The fact he even had the power to summon it is…impressive) Aten smirked. He slowly backed away from the crowd. "I won't kill too many people then. I'll just…go with the brats". Aten flew towards Jade and the others.

******

Jade could see Adisa's body flying towards them. "Alicia, I want to make a wish!"

(If I'm right…the thing definitely placed a vow rule on us. I'll make a wish to break it, so we can move freely and run)

"Allow us to move and release us from his vow!"

Alicia looked up at the sky. Her eyes rolled back, revealing the cold white in them.

"Give me…your…your finger nail and a piece of aura".

Alicia's voices seemed off. She had sounded like a robot. Jade quickly held out her hand. She ripped her finger nail off and quikcly gave Alicia some of her aura.

Jade was cut on her thigh for moving.

"Your wish…is granted". Alicia's eyes turned to normal and the corpse went to sleep. Jade and evryone moved freely.

(They can move?! Someone must have a counter?) Aten thought, as he approached the group.

Sendra flew in front of everyone and clapped her hands while taking a deep breath. (I'll use my aura to hide us for a few! It should be more than enough time) Sendra realized her aura.

Aten flew through the aura and managed to grab someone by their leg. Xavier tried to fly away, but Aten was too powerful. He swung Xavier into a nearby building.

Aten then flew towards Joster. "Die!" Aten laughed, as his aura surrounded Joster's body.

Jade jumped in front of him, stopping Aten's fist. (What's this? A force field?) Aten jumped back and noticed the others had dissapeared.

Xavier kicked open the door to the building. Aten laughed, as the door sliced in half.

Jade, Xavier, and Joster where all that remained. "You brats should've just stayed with your friends. You made the mistake coming to protect that trash. Now you'll die". Aten said.

"Trash? He's my brother. I don't leave family behind". Jade said. She put a hand on her sword.

"Is that so, Jade Blind? Hahah! Excellent!" Aten held out his hand. "I'll kill you all". Jade's forcefield had completely disappeared. "Joster-"

Aten delivered a powerful punch that almost snapped Jade's neck. She hit a building, causing it to fall apart.

Joster jumped up and threw a punch. Aten moved his head to the side to dodge. "Boring". He whispered in his ear. He grabbed Joster by the hair and threw him towards Xavier.

Xavier caught Joster, but before he could lift his head, Aten kicked him across the street.

Jade snapped her fingers, causing the street to move. It moved like waves in the ocean. Aten stomped his foot into the ground. With incredible speed, he teleported to Jade and grabbed her by the neck.

"Die, Jade Blind!"

Electrical aura hit Aten. (What's this?)

Xavier was using nightwings claw as a sword. "Lighting Slash!"

Aten laughed. He threw Jade towards the lighting and closed his eyes. Aten waved his finger. A giant strike cut through the lighting and cut Xavier's eye out.

Xavier fell back in pain. Joster caught Xavier with his hand and opened his mouth to shoot a powerful beam towards Aten.

Aten held out his hand to absorb the attack. He moved across the street in an instant and grabbed the two by their necks. he threw them in the air. Aten flew and began to fly across the sky while beating the two.

The black ray of aura traveled across the sky and city. Jade flew towards the three. Jade raised her sword over her head and swung in between them. Aten flew back and did a flip onto the roof of a nearby building.

Jade,Xavier, and Joster landed on a building across from him. "Are you guys okay?" Jade asked.

"Still breathing. We can't fight him and he's not even trying. He's toying with us". Joster said. Jade focused on Aten. "I know". She admitted.

"What do we do now? We can't find the others-"

Gritha appeared behind Aten. She had a golden spear in her left hand and a small shield in her right.

Aten leaned backwards and delivered a powerful overhand to Gritha's shield, knocking her off of the building.

Gritha used her spear and drived it into the glass of the building. Aten jumped off of the building to pursue Gritha. The two engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Aten grabbed Gritha by her hand after she missed her jab and threw her through a window.

Before Aten could attack her, Xavier came from above and kicked Aten to the street, creating a small crater in the street.

Aten lifted his head to see Xavier's foot getting close to his face. Aten jumped back. While in the air, Aten felt a powerful pressure hitting against his side.

Jade used her powers to send Aten flying across the city and into a nearby building.

Aten opened his eyes. People were screaming and fighting off tall, pale creatures. Aten did not care. "How dare you!"

Aten jumped out of the building. Jade could see a black flash traveling towards her. She clapped her hands together. Before she could utter the words out, her throat had been slashed by Aten's sword.

"JADE!!" Joster yelled. Jade fell to the ground while holding her neck.

Xavier stared at Jade. His eyes widened in shock and anger. He could feel his heavy heart pounding in his chest.

(Jade? No,no, she's-)

Xavier thought about what he and Jade talked about before everything started.

(I want you to stay here in the star clan. I don't want anything to happen to you)

"NOOOO!!!!" Xavier's aura shot in the air. His new purple lighting sent a cold shiver down Joster's spine.

Gritha looked out of the windo to admire the sight. While flying, Aten turned his attention towards Xavier and smiled. "I'll kill you, brat".
