Chapter 39: Maykers Creator

While in a hotel in Nova, Kairi, Jade, Nicole, and Kaya all gathered around discussing Nicole's condition. Her skin was pale like a ghost, and her body was covered with magical symbols, but when they lifted up her fringe, they were all in shock. They noticed Nicole pulled out her own eyes. Kaya laughed a little, saying, "I wonder how she can see." All of them giggled a little before... The ground beneath them started to shake, which knocked all of them off balance. Before any of them could speak, they heard a lot of people screaming from outside. All of them rushed over to the balcony and saw massive Abyssal clouds coming from the ground. Multiple buildings are destroyed and in ruins. Jade looked in horror as she saw innocent people be affected by the abyss. While looking at the people, they had grey skin and blacked-out eyes, and they were walking like they had nothing left inside of them. Kaya noticed a bunch of them climbing the building, but she didn't hesitate and quickly impaled them with her blood magic. Jade's expression went cold, and she jumped off the balcony, electrocuting multiple people before landing on the ground. She quickly took command and said, "We must bring all survivors here. Kaya, you take out any Abyssal creature in sight. I will gather survivors. Nova finds the source of this and puts an end to it." Once Jade issued the orders, Nova realised that in the darkest times there is always a guardian that brings hope to humanity. Nova swiftly ran past multiple Abyssal creatures and noticed a massive tornado in the middle of all the chaos. While stepping closer to it, Seilah felt a powerful presence inside of the tornado. She said, "You must be careful; whatever is in there is more powerful than us combined." Nova started shaking a little before she covered her hands in ice and summoned an ice spear, then walked through the tornado slowly. While her vision was hazy, she suddenly heard gunshots coming directly in front of her. But before she could reach them, a massive white tendril hit Nova in the stomach, sending her flying into a building. While she felt a massive amount of pain from her stomach, she coughed up a bit of blood before she noticed Rinko standing in front of her with white tendrils coming out of her back. Rinko went closer to Nova's face and spoke in an aggressive tone: "It's been a while, hasn't it, Nova? Do you remember when we first met and Shiki told you to fear the abyss? You should have taken that warning; now the Abyssal virus will turn all humans into empty husks. They will have no personality, mind, or even sense of touch; their own purpose is to die." Nova coughed up more blood before saying, "Why do this?" Rinko laughed while saying, "The Abyss spreads multiple times a day, consuming everything it touches, so I wonder why not feed the pathetic human race to the Abyss. With every death the abyss will spread throughout this realm until all that's left is a realm of soulless creatures." Nova tried to use her strength to stand up, but Rinko shot a bullet into her leg. As she screamed in pain, Rinko uttered one word, "Die," pointing her gun directly at her head, but before she could pull the trigger, a white portal opened up beside her, and Natasha grabbed and dragged Rinko all the way to the ground, slamming her into the floor. Natasha landed on the floor as she walked towards Rinko; her voice started to sound distorted as she spoke, "WE HAVE WAITED A LONG TIME FOR THIS TO FINALLY KILL OUR CREATOR." Rinko stood up, brushing herselfoff. She covered her guns in Abyssal magic while white tendrils came out of her back. She said, "I created you. I don't care who you are, but you will die here." Natasha smiled as a mask started to form around her face as she said, "WE ARE MAYKER." Both of them clashed as their tendrils formed blades and other sharp objects. Rinko started rapidly shooting towards Mayker, but they used tendrils to block the incoming bullets. While they pull back, there Tendrills rinko appears in front of them, shooting and slicing some of the black Tendrills off with an endless back and forth between them. Rinko jumped backwards and said, "You have impressed me, maker. It's a shame the rest of the heks had no use, but between you and the empress, I am glad you both survived. However, I am done playing around." Rinko placed her hand in front of her, and a white Abyssal-covered marksman appeared from the ground. She grabbed the rifle and started firing at Mayker. While they dodged most of the bullets, one of them slightly grazed their shoulder, leaving a mark. They soon realised that the rifle is strong enough to break the maker's tendrils and hurt Natasha at the same time. They jumped into the air while digging their tendrils into the ground. The maker swiftly ran towards Rinko, but the endless amount of attacks heading their way was hurting them every step of the way. Suddenly, while Rinko stepped towards Mayker Black, tendril-like spikes came out of the ground, catching Rinko off guard and forcing her to jump backwards, but before she realised it, Mayker went through a portal, ending up behind her as she was tackled to the ground. Breathing heavily, Maker said, "You are done, Rinko," but before she could land the final blow, Rinko smiled as her yellow eye shone bright as she spoke and said, "Order Requiem Abyss virus." Mayker looked at her rifle, noticing it was directly aiming at Nova, but before she could stop it all, she heard a gunshot and a scream of agony.
