//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 Remnants // Story: Realms Unite 2 // by Ninyn //------------------------------// Nightwalker sat in his throne room flexing his body. Nightshade was still trying to regain control. Every so often Nightwalker would have The Dazzlings sing and subdue the enraged Sentient King. Nightwalker chuckled and walked through his castle. Things were going a bit more smoothly than he had anticipated. Regardless the onslaught needed to continue full force… The monster eyed his own portal room and smiled, "One by one… I guess I'll start with the most useful one," he said. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Galaxy was sitting on Kami's lookout meditating as the wind blew violently. The Sentient sighed as he brought up one hand blocking a kick. The Sentient opened his eyes and looked at the boy standing before him. Judging the boys scruffy black hair and bulk it was obvious that he was a Sayain. Galaxy smiled and stood pushing the boy back. The boy growled and threw a punch at him but Galaxy blocked it. Galaxy chuckled softly, "So Odak have you mastered the ability I asked you to study?" he asked. The Sayain boy turned towards Seyron and nodded, "Yea! You bet Shenron!" he exclaimed. Galaxy smiled and patted the boy on the head, "Then you deserve rest… Take care alright," he said. Odak raised an eyebrow and nodded. Galaxy snapped his fingers and his armor appeared over his body. With two fingers to his forehead Galaxy teleported to the Arctic where a warrior stood waiting. Galaxy's eyes blazed with green energy eyeing the monster standing before him. "I suppose you have a very good reason to appear in my realm. You have the body of the king why not just end everything," he said. Nightwalker turned and smiled pulling forth Shin Ryu. Red lightning crackled around the blade in his grasp, "You should've known better than to come and see me Galaxy," he said holding the sword behind his head. With a dark chuckle Nightwalker eyed the sentient and slashed forward with a powerful blast following the strike! Galaxy pushed the blast aside and appeared before the monster knocking him straight in the face. Nightwalker was immediately sent plummeting into the cold waters. The monster laughed and balanced himself out as Galaxy sent out a blast at him. Nightwalker raised Shin Ryu and slashed through the blast sending shards of it in all directions! Galaxy was struck several times by the split attack and tumbled back. Nightwalker cut through the ice and brought his blade down. Galaxy summoned forth his own golden blade to block the strike. The blade was merely an enchantment in his realm, but to Nightwalker it was a holy blade meant to cut through any darkness! Nightwalker laughed at the blade and brought his leg around nailing Galaxy on the side of his face. Galaxy stumbled and used his weight to come around and send a stunning energy blast at the monster. Nightwalker was caught in the rings of the stun and growled. Galaxy made a sigil in the air and held out a hand. Electricity crackled as he sent forth a blast of Ki and lightning! Nightwalker's eyes widened as he broke part of the restraints. The blast erupted across the arctic electrifying the water all around. Galaxy eyed the area and dove into the water. Nightwalker was at the bottom of the sea holding the left side of his face. The monster had broke through ice and barely dodged the blast but still remained quite intact. "You're going to pay for that!" Nightwalker roared. A dark aura began to swallow the waters and Nightwalker became a blur. A cut appeared on Galaxies cheek and another on his leg. Soon the sentient found himself spinning around in a whirl of stinging strikes. Nightwalker pulled forth his energy and slammed it into the back of Galaxy! Galaxy cried out as he was sent flying out of the water. Nightwalker rose from the waters and put his hand back to his face using Sarominae. Dark lightning crackled around his left arm and Galaxy shuddered. Nightwalker smiled, "You caused me a great deal of pain you know that right sentient? I should thank you though… You're just the warm up to the main event. Thanks to your energy I can really test the limits of my new found abilities! Just like this one…. Sarominae Necarose: Dark Symphony!" he yelled. Galaxy was heavily breathing and he laughed, "If this is that kind of battle…" With a wave of his hand the Dragon Balls appeared and surrounded Galaxy. A golden light erupted forth and Nightwalkers blast was canceled out! Galaxy stood wearing the garb of the eternal dragons. His eyes now were emerald green with the slits of a dragon. His canines were now fangs. The hair on his head now was dark red and the weapon he held was that from a dream. The blade was bronze with the four star dragon ball embedded into its hilt. Galaxy eyed Nightwalker furiously, "You may hold the powers of a sentient king… But you cannot wield that which you do not understand. As a prime guardian of the realms I stand here to remind you of what awaits you for the final battle!" he yelled. Without even blinking Galaxy disappeared and reappeared behind Nightwalker. A golden stream spiraled forward from where Galaxy had stood and it slashed across the monsters body! Nightwalker's eyes widened as blood spilled forth from his body. The monster turned and sent a blast at the sentient. Galaxy caught the blast and held it for a moment watching as the little dark orb turned into a golden one! Nightwalker wavered and flew back. Galaxy turned and pointed his blade at the monster. A bolt of white lightning shot forth and pierced through Nightwalker's chest. The monster spat out blood and fell into the sea! Galaxy sighed and coughed up blood. He looked at the red liquid in his hand holding his chest. Galaxy shook the pain away and descended into the sea, *Something about this isn't right… It's almost as if-!" Galaxy paused as he saw the body floating in the water! It was an Exion! Galaxy turned to strike only to find Shin Ryu piercing through his chest! Nightwalker looked up with a sinister smiled, "You forgot one minor detail old man! I control the darkness! You shouldn't have taken your eyes off of me for even a second! Thanks to the body of the sentient king and his abilities… The rules apply even to me! I…." Nightwalker twisted the blade in Galaxy's chest, "Can kill a sentient!" he said. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Star Bright, Odion, Kisashi, Elustar… The four fell in front of their company with tears stinging their eyes! Star Bright and Elustar began to cry. Odion couldn’t muster any words… A light had been blown out… Kisashi choked and growled, "T-that bastard!" he said. The remaining heroes of equestria, Thyme, Vladimir, and Ozrick helped the sentients to their thrones and eyed them wearily. Odion stood tears rolling down his eyes looking towards Galaxy's portal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Galaxy couldn't speak… The words left his mind as Nightwalker kicked him in the stomach pulling the corrupted blade from his heart. The old man descended into the darkness and he smiled, "You…. May be able to slay me… Maybe even my comrades… But… Our beliefs…" he put a hand out towards the sky and the Dragon Balls left his body towards the home of the Eternal Dragons. They swirled around Odaks small home and a gust of energy filled the area, "Our beliefs will live on… Through those… That matter most…" The smile of the former sentient never faltered as entered a realm with light. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nightwalker spat and swiped Shin Ryu through the water cleaning the blade, "Ashes to ashes… Dust to dust… You're all going to burn…" he said as he returned to his fortress. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Odion shook his head, "We have lost a dear friend this very minute," he said sadly. The heroes all had a shocked look on their face as Odions eyes flowed with tears, "The Master of The Realm Of Ki has fallen…" he said. No one said a word after that. Only the stillness of shock filled the room. Even Ninyn, knocked out and unaware, seemed to feel this dark feeling. A remnant of a forgotten time flowed through each of the sentients that day… The feeling they had long since forgotten… The feeling of a heartache… Sorrow and Fear…
