Aramus #4

Avery arrives at the moon, where the headmistress said the entrance was, to find nothing. Shocked, she telepathically called her and asked "What am I supposed to be looking at?"

"Walk forward," the headmistress said.

Following her instructions, she floated forward and passed through an invisible barrier, revealing a large house, that looked like a regular house on the outside. But, as she walked in, it was much larger than it seems. There were two upper floors, and each of those floors had a circular design for her to easily access them through flight.

"Woah, this place is amazing. I would have never been able to make something like this."

"I'm glad you like it, lady Aramus, but you only have thirty-six hours until the planet reaches the earth's gravitational pull. Once that happens, it would be extremely difficult to separate them without destroying earth's atmosphere." the headmistress said.

"Okay, where should I start?"

"The training room. Anko is waiting for you."

"Okay, where is the training room?"

"Third floor,"

Avery jumped and flew up two floors through the wide opening. As she landed on the third floor, she noticed that there was only one door on the entire floor. Hesitant, she opened and walked into a blank space.

"Welcome to the Void Room. The one place in the omniverse where we can fully release our power without worrying about affecting the fabric of reality. This is also the place where you'll be evolved into a Primordial." Anko said as she released her full power.

Immediately, Avery felt a crushing and overwhelming pressure coming from Anko. She struggled to stand as Anko walked closer and closer to her. Anko, then, walked to Avery and knelt beside her. "Let go, Avery. Release all of the power you held back." Anko said.

Avery dug deep down into herself and drew out all of her power, which helped her a little. However, she still struggled to stand, along with not being able to use her powers.

"Okay, good, you have gotten this strong much in less than a day. Yesterday, you would've been crushed by this much power and intent. And, you're only going to get stronger with time. And, luckily, we have plenty of it in here."

A day later, three mysterious figures appeared in the sky over the Atlantic.

"Ah, Gaia, the untouchable planet, that every conqueror and emperor in the universe wants. And, it's all mine for the taking." One of the figures said.

"My lord, we should be careful. That Jan-gu girl might already sense us."

"Raous, do you think I'll lose if I fight against this Jan-gu girl?"

"O-O-O-Of course not, Lord Erius. I'm saying that what if the information we received is wrong. Originally, we were going to attack six months from now with our full force. But, we moved it up because we received information from a stranger that Gaia was going three months from now. Why would they give us this information if the world is already going to be destroyed?"

"Yes, I get what you are saying. This could be a trap set up by the person who gave us the information to weaken Gaia's inhabitants' defenses enough to conquer for themselves. But, That's where he made a mistake."

"My liege,"

"Thousands of years ago, I sent a scouting squad here to prepare this planet for my arrival. And, in the beginning, he and the others did well. But, as they grew their control of this place, their children began to rebel. A huge war broke out between them."

"I don't get it, Lord Erius. What does your story have to do with any of this?"

"That scouting squad wasn't killed," Erius answered. Then, five beings appeared in front of Erius, in a knelt position.

"We welcome you, our master. However, we failed to conquer the lower beings of the planet." One of them said.

"It's alright, Damus. Not even I could've seen your own children betraying you." Erius said.

"Your words are too kind."

"My liege, are these the...

"Former Elemental Generals of my empire. Yes, they are. Each one of them controls the universal elements: Aqua, Ventus, Terra, and Ignis."

"Amazing, I never thought I'd see the day when I meet the legendary Elementals that fought for centuries besides my lord."

"You can be amazed by them later. For now, we have a job to do." Erius said.

"Right, master. We'll resume with our mission. Please wait here in this castle we made for you thousands of years ago." Damus said as he raised a city from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

"Oh, looks like it was able to withstand the erosion of time."

"Of course, master. The materials we used to make this city is made from the blue crystal you bestowed unto us."

"Tantranite, huh. Impressive, now go and conquer. Kill anyone who stands in your way." Erius said.

"Yes, master," They all said they disappeared.

"Let the fun begin," Erius said as he entered the castle.

Almost two hours have passed, and the news of the Elemental generals and Raous destroying entire countries in minutes has reached every major country's government and Superhero community. However, they weren't able to come up with a solution. Some countries, like the United States and Russia, say use nukes against them. But, a lot of the countries were against that because of the incident America almost caused with O-bomb. Some of the countries said let the heroes handle the problem. But, A lot of them weren't big fans of Superheroes. They didn't trust them to keep the collateral damage to a minimum. And, a small few of them stayed quiet, knowing what to be done.

"Huh, father, why are we here? We should be out there handling those Evil gods." Zeus the second said.

"Quiet boy, We're here as representatives of Olympus, and the other gods that are preparing for war. We need to make sure the mortals' plans don't interfere with ours."

"Yeah, but right now all they're doing is arguing while another one of their human countries falls. It's like they don't understand the severity of the current crisis."

"I guess you're right. They don't understand it. Unlike us who're descended from them and know their capabilities, all they know is what they see now. So, let's leave and stop them." Zeus said as he got up and walked out of the room.

"Yes, father." Zeus the second said, following him.

"I agree with the Gods. This is pointless. While we sit here, those beings are probably destroying all of our countries. And, I refused to sit around and let that happen." the president of the United States said as he brought out his cellphone. Everyone looked at him and hoped he wasn't what he suggested. "Director Satin, you are clear to intercept the enemy. Terminate at all cost." He said, giving relief to everybody in the room. Then, everybody grabbed their phones and made a similar call.

"Sir, are you sure Director Satin will be able to handle this problem?"

"I can only hope," he answered.

Meanwhile, over a city in the center of China, an elemental general is gathering a large number of clouds. These clouds all had a massive amount of lightning gathering inside them. Then, using herself as a conduit, she shot lightning at the city, however, Valkyrie blocked the lightning with her gauntlets.

"You get one warning. Leave now!" Valkyrie said as Atomic Master and Mrs. Mystic arrived beside her.

"Daughter of Odin, you dare go against your superior. You and your friends are going to die slowly." The general said as the others generals and Raous appeared.

"Really could use some help here, Sydney," Mrs. Mystic said.

"Aieris wa deromium!" A man and woman chanted, which sent a bolt of magic energy at generals and Raous. However, the magic bolt didn't affect them.

"Thought that was going to work," the man said as he floated beside Atomic master.

"Well, this could be another effect of you traveling through time."

"Oh no, I will not be scolded about the dangers of time travel by my younger self, who don't even know how much I suffered in my timeline. I possibly saved billions with the risk of destroying myself."

"Yeah, but I doubt me of your time would've accepted you sacrificing yourself!"

"You would be wrong. He betrayed me and my love for a succubus who was trying to take over the world after we stopped her. He chose to her and I sealed them both in the deepest pits of hell for all eternity."

"Can you talk about the future later? They're forming a strange ball." Valkyrie said.

"That's not good. That's an Omen orb. It can destroy anything its path. You need to evacuate the city. I'll hold off the orb." The older Mrs. Mystic said.

"But…

"No, buts. You made it clear that I'm unwanted here. So, even though I might be destroyed, you all can still save the civilians' lives." She said as she summoned a magic circle in her hands. She, then, aimed it above them and held it in place.

"Huh, seriously, since when we're you people so dramatic. And l, for one, prefer the older Mrs. mystic over the younger one. She's more willing to do something to protect the little man." Avery said as she walked in front of them, out of thin air.

"Avery, what happened to you? I don't sense anything from…

"Explanations later. Now I have to deal with this." Avery said she swiped the air, which caused the omen orb to disappear. "Wow, this poor excuse for a knock-off Black Orb. I mean it's so weak," she said while holding the Omen Orb.

"She's holding the Omen Orb without being destroyed. How strong is this girl? And, why don't I feel anything from her? It's like she doesn't exist." Mrs. Mystic thought to herself.

"Okay, I'm ready to fight now. You guys stay out of my way." Avery said as she floated up to the generals and Raous as she put the black orb in the back of her jacket.

"Oh, if it isn't the little Jan-gu girl. I'm disappointed you changed in the last three days. And, not in a good way." Raous said as he met with her in the middle.

"Really, is that what you think?" Avery said with a grin.

"Kid, move back." One of these generals yelled. However, it was too late. Before Raous could react to them, Avery knocked Raous back into a portal.

"Who's next?" Avery said as she raised a barrier around them, preventing Valkyrie and the others from intervening. Three elemental generals each rushed at Avery one by one. However, Avery was able to counter all their attacks with ease. One by one, they each died from being hit once by Avery.

"Kinda disappointing," Avery said.

"She just killed out three of the generals with one hit. Not even, my father wasn't able to do that, thousands of years ago. How did she get so much stronger in a day?" Valkyrie thought to herself.

Avery, then, reached into a hole she created and pulled out a black sword that radiated a strong aura. This sword was something she created while training with Anko. It was able to channel her dimensional energy into a wave of energy that could destroy anything.

"This might be a little overkill, but I did prepare this for you. So, it should be okay to overboard this once." Avery said as she extended her sword to her side. Then, she swung the sword upward, creating a wave of energy that headed straight for the remaining generals.

"So, the little Jan-hi girl has this much power. I'm impressed." Erius said as he appeared in between the wave and his generals. As the wave hit him, his body began to change. His arms were partially split into six, and he absorbed her energy wave.

Shocked, Avery places her sword back into the hole and flew in front of Erius. "Tell me, what are you?" She said.

"Something tells me you already know the answer to your question. But, I save you the trouble of getting too worried. I'm not a genie. I'm their greatest creation, Erius Dark. A being designed specifically to conquer and destroy anything in my path."

"So, they survived all those years ago. And, still up to their old ways." Avery said.

"Exactly, but I can assure you that I'm not affiliated with the like of them. I here for myself and of my own free will."

"Really? So, you deliberately chose to attack this planet knowing I was here. You must have some ego to make a dumb decision like that."

"No, I just know that I'm the superior being. And, you're just a bug for me to squash."

Angered by his words, Avery punched him into a portal and flew after him. While in that portal, the both of them traded blows with each one, hoping that one of them would concede. Erius, then, grabbed Avery's arm as she punched him and ran her body into the side, causing him to escape the portal into New York City. Slamming her head into the pavement, Erius felt a sense of achievement from it. This, however, was too soon. Avery phased through the ground and flew back up hitting Erius in the face. Then, she grabbed him by the arm and threw him through hundreds of buildings, and out of the city. She, then, flew at him at supersonic speeds and continuously punched him every time she got close. After flying around the world, they both stopped over the ocean. Avery noticed something was off. No matter how hard she hit him l, he was perfectly fine. And, the fact that he didn't even try to block any of her attacks made her worried.

"Looks like you finally understand. You can't hurt me. I am a superior being. My body takes all of the energy you dish out and makes it a part of me, constantly making me stronger than any being in the universe. No even those petty offspring of the generals can defeat me and they have a fifth of my power. But, you are different. You're more powerful than any of my generals, almost my equal. Why don't you join me?"

"Do you really expect me to betray these people?" Avery said.

"Well, it didn't hurt to ask."

"And, that is where you're wrong," Avery said as she took off her jacket, which dissipated as she let go of it. Immediately, A surge of power radiated off her, causing the area around her to change. The air around them made it hard for Erius to breathe. He even struggled to keep flying as time passed

"What wrong, Erius? You don't look so well for a superior being. I guess that makes you weaker than you thought."

"What is happening? I can't breathe. The air is too thick. It's like my lungs are about to pop. How is she doing this." Erius thought to himself.

"My lord, we should retreat for now," Damus said as he appeared beside him.

"I agree. Let's go." Erius struggled to reply.

"Do you really think I'll let you escape?" Avery asked.

"Of course not. That's why multiple tsunamis are headed for every coast in the world. And, I can assure you that there will be millions of deaths if you don't help immediately."

"How… no time to figure out how. I got to stop those waves." Avery thought to herself as she spilt herself into five. Then, she and her clones flew off in different directions. One flew towards Europe and British coasts, and caught up to the tsunami, and flew through it at supersonic speeds, hoping the sonic boom would disperse the waves. Luckily, it worked, however, that wasn't the same for the others. One of the tsunamis was strangely increasing in speed and height as it got closer to the coast of South Africa. Breaking the sound barrier, her second body caught up to the tsunami as it was about to crash. Appearing in front of a little girl, whose parents who hugging her and her baby brother, Avery held out her arms and stopped the tsunami in place.

"Don't worry, kid. I'm here," she said as she pushed it back to the ocean.

Before the little girl had a chance to speak, Avery disappeared. Realizing the tsunami was supernatural, Avery flew faster in an attempt to catch up with the tsunamis. Suddenly, Avery's phone rings. She pushes a button on her shades, which answered the call.

"Avery, where are you? We have a little situation. A huge tsunami is coming to all coasts of the United States, and Marine can't stop it." Sydney said.

"A little busy here, Mom," Avery said, flying on the coast of India. Aiming at the base of the wave, She shot a vibrational blast from her hand destroying that wave. "Okay, I think that was the last one besides the ones headed to the United States," Avery said, as she floated over the coast. Waiting for her copies to return, Avery brainstormed new ideas for her base. Instantly, she felt surges enter her body. Avery opened a portal to the United States west coast. However, it was too late. Half of the west coast was underwater. Taking a deep breath and focusing her power, Avery's eyes glowed, and she held out her hand. Slowly, the water, covering the coast, flowed into a ball in her hand. As time passed, the water lowered to the point where she could move to the east coast. After thirty minutes, Avery arrived at the east coast. There, she saw people on the roofs of their houses crying out for help while praying. Many of their prayers Avery heard clearly as if she was beside them.

"Don't worry, everyone. I will answer all of your prayers." Avery said as she moved all of the water to the orb. Then, she snapped her fingers, and everything repaired itself as nothing happened. The people, then, looked up and saw Avery floating above them like a savior. Happy and grateful, the people cheered and praised her. Feeling excited and happy, Avery decides to show off by writing Xanis in the clouds before flying towards Erius' castle in the ocean. Once there, she slowly put the orb back into the ocean, so she would cause any other large waves.

"Alright, that handles that problem. Now, what should I do about this?" Avery thought to herself.

"How about you keep it for yourself?" The Headmistress said as she appeared behind her.

"Mia, I thought you left with Anko?" Avery said as she hugged her.

"No, I wouldn't leave you alone by yourself. Especially, now that you've awakened as a Primordial like Reo, Anko, and your other siblings. You're going to need a guardian now more than ever."

"So, you're my babysitter," Avery said, bluntly.

"No, more like an advisor. Like how Reo's grandparents are to him, and how Anko's grandparents are to her."

"So, why isn't my grandfather my advisor?"

"Well, like Reo and Anko, who both wanted to be your advisors, he's was busy with a universe of his very own to protect from the craziest things you've ever seen. But, don't be afraid to call them if my advice isn't what you weren't hoping for." Mia said as she touched Avery's shoulder.

"That might be impossible. Your guidance that you gave me in the Void room has been great. But, you should know that I'm not going to be easy to guard." Avery said, jokingly.

"Seems like you've taken more after them more every day," Mia responded.

Immediately, Avery looked at Mia with a serious look.

"What's wrong? Upset?"

"Alright, so what were you saying about keeping it?"Avery said.

"Right, you could miniaturize the castle, and keep it in your room. That way you can have a little base that you can annex to your base on the moon while keeping your most dangerous enemies by you at all times." Mia explained to her.

"That would be helpful especially since Erius and one of his Generals escaped somewhere, and they will return someday," Avery said.

"Not to mention, Raous is still alive inside this castle and nothing in this world can contain a threat like him. Anyway, I'm assuming you don't know how to shrink objects, right."

"Of course, I can condense objects easily."

"Shrinking and Condensing are two different powers. Condensing is reforming atoms to make objects small, but it also makes the object unstable causing them to destroy anything it touches, hence the black orbs we use. Now, Shrinking is taking and transforming atoms to make an object small. This requires you to really concentrate and focus on the image of the object. Luckily, you don't have to do it alone." Mia said.

"What do you mean? I didn't know you could use that ability." Avery said.

"Of course, she is the daughter of Lestia Lucrada, the sister of great-grandpa Vlad." A young lady said as she appeared behind Avery.

Mia pointed behind Avery to show her the person behind her. Avery looked behind and saw a beautiful young woman. She had long black hair, with a silver line of hair that ran down the side of her face. Her eyes were silver and were like daggers, stabbing Avery's being continuous.

"Avery, what's wrong?" Mia asked. However, Avery just stood there paralyzed.

"So, this is our newest sister. She's kind and strong, but it seems she's not used to seeing beings like her."

"Actually, I think she's in shocked by your presence. She has only seen five other people like her. And, they weren't radiating their powers that loosely in front of her."

"Oh, right, I forgot to conceal my aura." The young woman said as she stops radiating her overwhelming power. "Anyway, I'm one of your older sisters, Yukio."

"Oh, hello, I'm Avery," Avery said, nervously.

"There's no need to be nervous. I already know who you are, Avery. Dad already told us everything." Yukio said as she held out her hand towards the castle. Slowly, a large stream of water circled around the castle, creating a dome. Then, the castle and dome shrunk down to the size of a snow globe. Then, it levitated up into Yukio's hand. "Here you are, sis. A personal castle in the size of your hand." Yukio said as she held it in front of Avery. Avery picked up the dome from Yukio's hand.

"Thank you, sis. Wow, I'm not used to saying that."

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it," Yukio said as she hugged Avery.
