Nova sat in an open field contemplating his thoughts the sky was crystal blue, the
grass was sparkling green and one could see the light of the sun glimmer through the
foliage. Nova sat on his back as the wind blew through his hair, he closed his eyes and a
memory flashed of him sitting in a room with several soldiers. The man sitting across the
table cleared his throat and said: "Nova for your crimes against the Qadari empire you
must tell the whole truth, what happened on that day?" Nova smirked I was born in
Krunsdadt a city near the great City F. My father died when I was very young and from
then I went to live with my grand-father." The soldier slammed the table, "We don't want
to hear you're entire life story, just tell us what happened the day of the crime!" Nova
chuckled as he did images raced in his mind a vision of Talus destroying all the fake
forms of Daniel and his compatriots, and then a battle between Daniel and this other
version of Daniel from an alternate realm, then Zaiyal and Talus fusing together, then Sir
Rhyme battling some strange green monster and a little runt fighting alongside him with countless other memories flashing before his mind. I was born into a wealthy family of
Ruthenian (Ukrainian) and Elvin origin my parents were killed when I was only two
years old I was adopted by even wealthier foster parents who molested me for years. "But
you know all that, so why even bring me here." Nova began to smile, "Is it because I
attended military school for many years in the Prussian militant style?"
The soldier began
to grow angrier. Nova chuckled. Nova's smirk widened as the soldier's frustration seeped
into his voice. He leaned back, his fingers lightly drumming against the armrest of his
chair. "You want the truth?" Nova began, his tone laced with mockery. "The truth is, that
day wasn't the start of my crimes—it was merely the culmination of everything the
Qadari Empire sowed." The soldier's face reddened, his fist trembling against the table.
"Enough of your riddles! Speak plainly, or I'll—"
"You'll what?" Nova interrupted, his voice dropping to a chilling calmness. "Do worse
than the atrocities your Empire has already inflicted? Spare me."
His eyes flickered, memories rushing back with haunting clarity. The field where the rift
first opened, Talus standing defiantly against Daniel's fractured echoes. The clash of
blades ringing out as realms collided, fates intertwined in ways even the wisest sages
could not foresee. Nova remembered the searing heat of Zaiyal and Talus merging, their
combined force ripping through dimensions, shattering barriers that should have never
been touched.
And Sir Rhyme... steadfast, unyielding, his poetic battle cries echoing as he and the
green-skinned abomination tore through the chaos. The "little runt" by his side—a
scrappy, fiery presence—might have been small in stature, but their courage outshone
giants. Nova's voice softened, his smirk fading into something more solemn. "The truth
is... it wasn't a crime. It was survival. It was rebellion. It was destiny unraveling at the
seams." The soldier leaned closer, his eyes narrowing. "Destiny?" Nova nodded, his gaze
distant, haunted. "Destiny doesn't ask for permission. It just happens, whether you're
ready or not. And on that day, destiny didn't choose sides—it just set the world ablaze."
The room fell silent, the weight of his words pressing down on everyone present. The
soldier exchanged glances with his comrades, uncertainty creeping into their hardened
expressions. But Nova simply closed his eyes, retreating once more into his thoughts. The
open field returned, the sunlight filtering through the leaves, the gentle rustle of the wind
in his hair. He didn't care if they believed him. The truth wasn't for them—it was his, and
his alone. "Well I guess I'll continue the story..."
On the battlefield, Zaiyal stood calmly but defiantly. "You heard me metal head, or
did I stutter?" The wizard waved his hand and as he did this a dark portal appeared and
what appeared to be Daniel came out of the portal. "Well, well, its been some time."
Daniel stood there quietly no longer with the long blonde locks but pitch black dark long hairs that seemed to be almost shiny like oil slick. Daniel chucked, "enough, I've been
waiting for this!" Daniel and Talus began to fight they battled at least 50 rounds until
Talus shouted, "THAT'S ENOUGH!" Everyone was shocked including Ungar. Zaiyal
most of all shouted at Talus, "Talus, what's wrong?! You of all people would not
squander this opportunity." Talus laughed, "None can fool the eyes of a member of the
Demon Clan I have red seering eyes that can see through all falsehoods. That's not Daniel
that's not even one of the fake clones I am well aware of those in the realm of the
Demiurge have in abudance. That thing is something else." Oghuz was startled and
thought to himself, "How did he know about the clones that the Six Eared Macqaue
conjures up? How does a grunt like Talus have this sort of knowledge?!" Talus landed
back on the earth and said, "As far as who or what you are I care not, bring out the real
Daniel." The being laughed, "I am Daniel just not your Daniel." Zaiyal gasped, "what is
he talking about?!" Daniel began to laugh, "I'm Daniel from another dimension where I
was never the Gate Keeper and none of you exist, I'm a simple mercenary for hire and
the Demons spent good money bringing me here. They hope I can take care of Zaiyal for
them," said Daniel. Ungar stood there without missing a beat, "He's telling the truth, this
person is Daniel from another dimension." Talus began to grow angry, "I could care less
who you are, bring out the real Daniel now. I won't say it again!!" Oghuz looked
curiously at Talus who's eyes were glowing red with an incredible fury. "What am I
sensing here?" thought Oghuz to himself. Dreadmarch said for his part fine, "bring out
the clones and bring out Daniel." Several portals appeared and out of them came identical
versions of several of the heroes limited to, "Daniel [in his original form with his long
blonde hair, elf ears, orange cape, and identical copy of the Spirit Blade], Zaiyal, Talus,
Sir Rhyme, the late Sarai, Ungar, Matreya Narcis, and Noah. Standing before them was a
the real "Daniel," this time with blackish red hair, devil horns, and monstorous claws.
"THREE DANIELS????!!!!!" said Zaiyal. "Hello old friend," said the original Daniel.
Red Ace began to claw at his face, "wait if there are three versions of you're friend we
need to categorize them, this is too confusing???!!!" Zaiyal huffed, "fine our Daniel with
the horns and claws is "Daniel," the evil one from the other dimension is "Daniel 2" and
the fake imitation that clone will just be "Faker," how's that?" Daniel 2 laughed, "that's
fine by me." Everyone murmured, "Enough of this shit!! You've hid for 1,000 years to
hide from me!! No longer I'll finally put you down or die trying!!" said Talus. "I haven't
known you long but I've been waiting for 10,000 years since the day I was born to face a
worthy challenge and you're it boy, so come on I'm ready for anything you can throw at
me," said Talus.
Without blinking Daniel said, "No thanks, my fight is with Ungar, as soon as I've
killed those he loves those who were once my friends, I'll seal that immortal bastard away forever. I have no time for your trivial ego trip Talus, get lost." Everyone was
shocked, "Daniel, you're going to kill us all and why do you want to punish Ungar???!!!
Explain yourself now!" There was a defining calm, "Ungar knew of my death and him
and the Caterpillar conspired for fate to take the course it has the whole reason you're in
this world is because of him and the Caterpillar, he cares for none of you and I'll prove it
by desposing of all you in front of him." Narcis, Sir Rhyme, and all of the others got in
their fighting positions as they trembled in fear. The fact that there long time friend was
betraying like this was like something of a nightmare they could hardly believe what was
coming out of his mouth. "Daniel don't do this, you don't want to do this..." said Zaiyal.
"Don't want to do this, as far as I'm concerned my friends died over 1,000 years ago I
have no idea who you clowns are." As they were saying this Talus was silent a torrent of
rage building inside him as he thought to himself, "a trivial ego trip!! How dare he say
that to me!! I cannot let this stand!! I WILL NOT LET THIS STAND!!!!" As soon as
these thoughts left his mind an atom bomb of nuclear energy went off and Talus was
standing there glowing with unbelievable power to the point that even Daniel was
shocked. Oghuz was struck by awe and his curiosity for his part grew even more. "How
dare you insult me like that!! You've been waiting to punish Ungar for 1,000 years?! I've
been waiting for 10,000 years for a decent challenge!! You have no idea what I've gone
through, what I've done to get to where I'm standing today. The intense training I put
myself through, my complete neglect of this pointless world, if you're sense of revenge is
what's letting you stand here you've already lost!!!" Zaiyal couldn't believe it, "this is the
power Talus had inside him all along he could have defeated Satan if he wished too in the
past, damn him this is all a game to this asshole!" Talus's energy began to bounce off him
and strike like lightning bolts across the battlefield to the point that the others had to
dodged them, "Revenge against Ungar???!!! Against fate???!!!! This world has no
meaning fool, its only kill or be killed!!!! And you're seeing 10,000 years of this
philosophy in action, behold I'M SUPER TALUS!!! As far as I can tell I am the most
powerful being in the known universe, but believe me I'm more than happy to be proven
wrong!! Maybe if you let go of your egotism and your purpose-driven bullshit you could
ascend to this level!! But don't say I didn't warn you—this will hurt - alot."" Talus's
power kept growing and growing and then unleashed a single elbow to Daniel's jaw.
After this Talus unleashed a fury of blows and kicks which ended in a single punch to the
gut. This angered Daniel and they began an intense battle.
With that, the battlefield erupted into chaos once more. Talus and Daniel clashed
with earth-shattering force, their energy surges lighting up the sky. Meanwhile, the rest of
the group stood frozen, torn between jumping into the fray or running for cover.
Zaiyal clenched his fists, his mind racing. "We can't just sit here. If this keeps up, there
won't be anything left of this world—or any of us."
He turned to Sir Rhyme, who was watching with a mix of fascination and dread. "We
need to do something. Talus can't handle this alone, and Daniel's not going to stop unless
we make him."
Sir Rhyme nodded, his poetic resolve unwavering. "Then let us weave a verse of
resistance and step into the storm. If destiny has brought us here, then we shall rewrite its
script."
As the battle raged on, the others began to mobilize, preparing themselves for the fight of
their lives. For in this moment, it was no longer about vengeance, power, or destiny—it
was about survival. And in the eye of the storm, nothing was certain. Daniel and Talus
were creating reverbs throughout the entire universe to the point that it seemed as if the
entire universe was shaking. "You petiulent bastard! I'm tired of you're trivial bullshit!
You can't keep this up forever," said Daniel. Talus laughed, "Is that what you think?!
You've only seen a mere 1% of my power, let me give you a taste of 10%." Daniel began
to become nervous for the first time since the battle began. Ungar couldn't believe it,
"what did he say???!!!" Talus unleashed another boost of power that was unreal the entire
world began to shake once more, "HAHAHAHAHAHA! Had enough!" Daniel began to
shudder in fear, "no one could possibly be this strong!!" Talus began to get angry, "You
fucking waste!!" Daniel was shocked, "what did you say?!" Talus responded with haste,
"1,000 years late and this is as strong as you've become, I was wrong about you. I
thought you had such potential but you're nothing more than a simple weakling. Bon
voyage everyone. I'm done playing around with all of you if I will receive no true
challenge from it." Talus began to charge up another attack this time he aimed it directly
at the planet, as a result of this everyone began to shudder with fear. Oghuz had seen
everything he needed to. "Daniel, step down that's enough! The demiurge will take care
of this!" said Oghuz. As the words left his form the air became silent. Sir Rhyme for his
part stepped forward, "the Demiurge?! Explain yourself???!!!!! The Demiurge isn't hear
he exists beyond space and time." Oghuz lifted his hand and a young girl with large
breasts, red pig tails, fangs, red eyes and round eyes appeared. As she opened her
haunting eyes there was a terrifying expression on her face. This expression sent
shockwaves through the battlefield but not Talus. "You don't need to tell me, this being is
of an unspeakable power level. I must say for the first time in my life I'm excited to face
an opponent in battle."
For the first time in his long life Talus was truly happy. Ungar shouted at Talus, "TALUS
STOP!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!! DON'T FIGHT THAT
THING!!!!" All of the heroes including Sir Rhyme, Ungar, Narcis, Zaiyal, Noah, Kai, Red Ace, Green Wisp, Sarah, Nova and the others charged forward to keep Talus from
fighting a being that could cause the end of the world, but Talus at the end of his rope
lifted his arm wiping it in a singular direction and causing a giant vertical crater to be left
in its wake as he shouted, "BACK OFF!!" Sarah shouted, "How dare you Talus! Aren't
we you're friends???!!!" Talus began to chuckle, "Yeahahahahahahaha!!!!! Don't make
me laugh, we were never friends this was always a means to an end. I was always using
all of you to get to Daniel but I must admit that was a waste. But now I'm looking at the
greatest opponent of my lifetime, and nothing is going to stop me!" said Talus. Zaiyal
shouted back, "TALUS IF YOU DO THIS IS SWEAR I'LL...." Talus who was
completely spent on his toleration of them shouted, "SHUT YOU'RE DAMNED
MOUTH!!!! I have no time for your little squabbles! I am what I always was a demon!
Demonic blood pumps through my veins," said Talus. As he said this a voice was heard
in Talus's mind it was familiar and then Talus fell to his knees screaming,
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" He fell to his knees grabbing at his head.
Ungar for his part was horrified, "Talus no! You have to fight it!!" Talus for his part let
out a, "shut your mouth!!" The groaning went on and on until it eventually stopped and
Talus for his part came to his feet his green eyes had turned red and he was filled with a
terrifying demonic aura.
