The facility was crumbling faster and faster with each passing second under the crushing might of the boys black hole sphere anything that couldn't withstand the strain reduced to atoms in his presence, luckily his companions where doing well.
Sona, didn't get any actual boots in combat ability as her own power had to do with the restriction of the abilities of others, this would be fairly dangerous in most situations, perhaps make for a star law enforcer in the federation, if abilities where still scarce that is.
She quickly learned however that it did nothing to racial traits, which may seem like abilities and had almost no effect on transformation-based abilities. The era of abilities and many ways to be supernatural her abilities where strangely limited .
In this situation however it had spared them from being crushed under the might of their friend and get as far away as possible, "Should we help him?". Demiurge asked after knocking down an enforcer with his partially transformed hand.
The girl gave him a long look as the facility trembled again and the sound of the building's material groaning in agony reached their ears "Point taken", The white haired boys range was increasing and it was doing so at a ferocious speed.
"There no telling how large that spheres gotten now, so I advise we make topside quickly" demiurge nodded slowly before catching movement from the corner of his eyes and dashing in her direction "What are you doing?"
"Let me go" Holding the woman up by her hair Demiurge had caught a researcher, particularly the woman with red skin and acid green eyes a grin appeared on his bestial face revealing his teeth.
"Why so scared professor? We just want to ask for an exit". The woman scoffed and tried to push against his grip after quickly feeling that she couldn't make use of her abilities.
"You'll just kill me after you escape".
"you're not wrong to suspect that however…" he paused as the building shook the lights exploding, a massive shockwave washing over them and lastly a small but persistent tugging force on their bodies, glancing at the objects being pulled away beside him into the darkness and back at the trembling woman he chuckled.
in the underground space the white-haired boy's body was floating limply in the air, the sphere above his body now several times his size, the area around him drenched in pitch blackness and only a slight humming coming off the pulsating sphere.
There where no bodies, no debris around him, it had all be absorbed and disintegrated by his lightless abyss, dark cracks where spreading across his entire body, black haze gushing out of them instead of blood, his mouth hung open in a perpetual scream as it fuelled the rotating black sphere. His mind was shutting down and his thoughts slowed, he had heard about this phenomenon before, when one lost control of their psionic energy and went critical, he never imagined it would be this extensive however. 'Crush' he heard a whisper in his mind.
'Crush' The voice whispered, this time much closer and far louder, it drew closer ever still and increasing in number as it pounded in his mind, he recognised it as his own voice, his own mind was screaming at him.
'Crush....destroy..crush, crush Destroy" Like the screams of a madman and the strength of a plague his thoughts had been overrun by a tide of bloody shouts 'Stop'. He pleaded, but the voice seemed to have been enraged by his pathetic attempts to reject it.
"Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush,"
The boy's body jerked violently and his mouth closed before opening and his words distorting into an unintelligible scream, that no living being should be able to make clawing his nails across his face, the wound his produced bleeding more darkness instead of blood
"Crush.." he echoed mirroring the chants of his intangible instigator, mirroring his own demented whispers that had overwhelmed him "... Destroy everything"
The sphere had stop pulsating hi, his eyes drowned in pools of darkness, streams of lightless haze glowed from his eyes like tears. He hovered in the air and snapped his fingers, the spheres size increased and bubbled the space around him twisting as everything was being pulled towards the sphere, even light itself was disappearing into it.
After a few seconds the size of the sphere had compressed itself again as all it's activity reduced to the size of the boys index. And floated between his palms, The white haired child smiled clasping his hands together over the dark sphere. "Destroy"
The black pillar rose into the sky completely obliterating the ceiling and revealing the sky above him, as he grinned, dark haze leaked from between his teeth, floating up he looked around, the area he was in was covered in nothing but reddish-brown dust and strange stone like trees.
If not for his deranged state one could dare say the boy even looked disappointed, his gaze slowly focused on someone standing at the edge of the gaping pit he had created. The person had a cigarette in their mouth and hair that was a mix black and gold, with a rather troubled look, he was thin and had stubble on his face, his hair was messy and he looked like he hadn't slept in days.
The boy frowned, flicking a finger the ground where the man was standing exploded and burst, the pieces being pulled towards his body and disintegrating into nothing as they drew closer to him, the boy remained motionless.
"The boss man has very good foresight". The boy had no time to respond, when something struck him hard in the chest knocking him back to the ground, causing him to bounce and roll, digging his hands into the soil he stopped himself and looked up with a snarl, however the man was no longer there
The boys eyes seemed to widen upon hearing the sound of shuffling beside him, snapping his head to the side he found the strange man shifting through a deck of cards with a relaxed expression on his face, almost like the whole situation was of no point to him.
"Your ability is quite strong for a civilian, did the lab make you like this? They must have worked hard" Small black spheres formed around him and fired off in his direction as beams of darkness, the man moved his body calmly while examining his cards.
When one of the beams came for his head he just raised a card from the deck and raised it to his face, the card absorbed the entirety of the beam and was dyed black "It's no good" The man flicked the card at the boy as it seemed to fly like a dagger.
The card exploded just as it reached the boys face and turned into a black sphere that engulfed his entire body, A scream could be heard as a small hand brushed away the sphere of black energy like one would a curtain. "Not affected by your own ability huh? I can work around that".
The dark cracks had spread more and his fingers had been dyed completely black with them, Zed scowled at the man in front of him "Destroy"
The boy would dash after him, each swing of his hand pouring out black haze that gouged out chunks of the ground when it made contact, the tips of the boys hair had now turned black as his attacks grew more frantic, occasionally coughing up black mist, his body was collapsing.
He looked up at the man who was still sifting through his cards, The boy took a deep breath and spread his arms wide creating a sphere that dwarfed the previous one he has generated, the cracks across his body increasing in size and it now looked like the child was on fire.
The man pulled out a particular card and the boy suddenly heard a loud but continuous ticking sound in his ears, the man's lips parted and he said a single word "Open". The sounds of maniacal laughter filled the boys ears as his powers immediately dispersed and his surroundings changed.
The rocky waste land around him replaced with a large dimly light space that had the continuous sound of cheering and laughter in the background, the boys sphere of darkness had disappeared, along with his senses, he could no longer, see, hear or feel, there was just empty.
The boys body became limp and the space around him bent and twisted wrapping around him like a piece of cloth, he couldn't struggle and didn't know if he should, he had lost the ability to feel his body move as well, the clothlike space engulfed him.
The space the straightened out and all that was left was a playing card with the Ace of spades dying in glistening obsidian "Game over" The man said stuffing the card into his pocket and disappearing, his body vanishing from the spot like someone had used an eraser on a pencil drawing.
