Ghost and Finlis

After Eirikr struck Sky with the Dimensional Puncture attack, he sent him between dimensions sporadically and without direction.

However, at the point of impact came a bout of energy similar to strands that leaked into the ground, falling into one of the holes that Sky struck deep into the Earth. The bout of energy poured into the holes and fell into a cave system deep underneath the Earth, turning into an amalgamation of unknown energy. It hid for a long, long time, but only had one purpose.

Reproduction.

The bout of energy that came from the other dimension was frighteningly similar to where Finlis Vega got his power from, meaning that the two were naturally drawn to each other. So drawn to each other, in fact, that Finlis knew where to find them almost immediately after he sensed them.

Finlis burrowed underneath the ground, striking it with his bare hands until he opened up the large cave system the bout of energy fell into. It seemed they had traveled all the way underneath the Oceanic Kingdom, which is the precise reason Genesis reawakened Finlis Vega there. He had accounted for everything thanks to Cynthia's Dimensional Eyes.

"Where are you?!" Finny shouted out, dragging out the sentence as much as possible while searching within the cave. He smashed spires with his bare fists, striking them so fast that the rocks disintegrated underneath the force and heat of his punch.

"Woah... It's you!" Finny shouted out. He clapped his hands together, running over to a strange ball of Iridescent Strands, and grabbed onto it with his hand. As he held it, the ball began to expand, encasing his entire palm in an extra layer of strands he didn't summon. Since Finny couldn't feel pain, he sat dumbfounded while watching the ball of strands move up his arms, charring his arm, and turning his right arm black. They settled underneath his skin, causing it to glow for a slight moment, and then return to their previous standing.

"You are my Master," Finny heard within his mind.

"That was probably already likely, but go on," Finny inquired with the strand-infused right arm.

"I am Ghost. We are Ghost," The arm told him. Finny nodded, agreeing with it easily while understanding the power it gave him.

"Ghost, we are ghosts! I like that. I'm a ghost. Boo!" Finny said, laughing hysterically while walking out of the cave.

"Ghost, where is Faith Asterio? She is my target, but if I can find Sky Asterio, I will be lucky," Finny said, looking up toward the entrance of the cave he dug into.

"Unknown. Please wait a while before engaging. Safer," Ghost told Finny. He nodded, cracking his knuckles, and sitting down in the cave.

"I've always wanted the opportunity to talk with somebody like me. Are you like me? You sound like me. I think you are like me," Finny awkwardly finished his own sentences, almost talking to himself the entire time as Ghost remained silent.

"I am you. You are me. We are we," Ghost explained.

"I like that. I like you, Ghost. Hey, tell me. What do you know about this world? I've been locked away for a decent bit to my knowledge," Finny explained to Ghost. She couldn't find the words to explain her situation, so instead, she materialized into an Arkian girl, very closely resembling Ellie.

"I know all that die. All that live. All that will live. All that will die. I know how it functions. I can explain anything to everything. I am all. You are all. We are all," Ghost explained. Her body changed, resembling Ultima next as Ellie's old skin fell to the ground like dropped clothing.

As soon as Ellie's skin dropped to the ground, the strands built up again, materializing into a body that could function on its own.

"Oh! There are two of you now!" Finny observed, poking at touching the new Ellie that Ghost had made with dead skin.

"There can be as many of me as you want. As many of the dead as you want," Ghost explained to Finny. He knew what she was capable of, and smiled.

"Can you bring back my father, Arthur?" Finny asked Ghost, punching a hole into Ellie's head while Ghost thought about his request.

"I sense no strands in the atmosphere that contain Arthur's genetic sequence. I am unable to do so," She responded emotionlessly, walking over to Ellie's body and reviving it with more strands. The joints and bones quickly reformed, bringing back a person of substance.

"That's not what I wanted to hear. Tell me you'll bring him back," Finny demanded. His chaotic smile disassembled into a frown as Ghost kept a straight, emotionless face.

"I can give you anything else you want," She said, before quickly having her throat grabbed and lifted into the air.

"BRING. ME. MY. FATHER," Finny demanded, throwing Ghost into the ground so hard that she evaporated into strands, and recreated herself as they assembled her once more.

"I can make myself look like him, but I am not certain I can act as he did. I apologize. I will try my best," Ghost said, using her strands to create another body.

As the body rose up out of the ground, its face was jumbled and incoherently inhuman, even scaring Finny with the brutal, grotesque forms of accumulation of strands he had ever seen. He was already tired of the sight, and punched through it to kill the body.

"Never mind, I'm bored. Hey, can you make me other stuff? Give me a harem," Finny demanded. Ghost nodded, creating a group of women that closely aligned with Finny's presence, the body of Ultima joining them.

"Great! Make them kill each other now," Finny shot out another request. As soon as Ghost rose her hand, the bodies began to get violent, pulling knives out and brutally slaughtering each other as Finny smiled through the blood shed. The blood was genuine, pooling up on the floor and eventually right under Finny's feet.
