120 To Vanish in a Duel

Stepping through the tear in space and time our group comes face to face with a young man fighting off wave after wave of created Creed.

The young man was shocked when he saw a tear open behind him, ready to self detonate and seal the door the Creed are pouring out of with his death as well as these new intruders.

His eyes begin to light up crimson red, as green swirls around the red pupil someone jump out from the tear and in front of him.

"Hello Terel, stay there I'll handle the Creed. I brought a few friends, one you should know very well too."

As Annabel rushed at the incoming wave of Creed she sealed off the area around Terel and the group now standing before him.

Standing in front of another version of himself Terel feels not only a connection to the dark skinned youth before him but each and every heart he has in his chest and the ones he gifted away.

He feels the cells in his body filled with the Eros, as the two stare at eachother their memories merge into one, all the things that were unsealing in Dashnells mind now became clear as day like it happened only a moment ago.

"So I am guessing you are not here just to save me, are you sure you can absorb me? Failing would not only kill you but I would never be able to face those standing here, even if it is me killing me.

I won't take your form after I win, in a battle of minds I am sure my age is enough to allow me to take control of our combined form." Terel said as he looked into the eyes of Dashnell.

It only took a second for him to realize why another version of himself would appear before him, as for the woman who was currently treating the uncountable number of Creed as annoying flies he tried his best to ignore her.

Searching his mind and Dashnells mind he finally had an idea of her and her origins but everytime he looked his mind shook as if it was on the verge of collapsing.

"We won't know until we try, now stretch out your hand and let us begin the duel to see who's personality will rule the body we are to share. I'll warn you know I don't play fair."

Dashnell looked at Lami's crimson eyes with his emerald eyes that swirled with golden light.

"Same here young me!" Said Terel as their hands came together, as soon as the two palms came together a blinding light forced everyone around including the Creed and Annabel to shut their eyes.

This split second of light forced everyone to shut their eyes, the only ones too see what happened were Annabel, who could see even if she possessed no eyesight and Valara who avoided the flash by shifting herself out of its effects by stepping into the stream of time.

The two of them were at a loss of words for what they saw, they knew what would happen when Dashnell and Terel met. By instinct they would seek eachother out to fight for who should remain in charge of the body the two would inhabit.

That is until their minds merged together but that would take time and neither wanted to be controlled.

What the two witnesses is a third hand reaching out and grabbing a hold of Dashnell and Terel's hands. Valara who was time itself knew who this person was and Annabel seeing Valara knew something quickly invaded her mind to find out.

Both women watched as the strongest version of Dashnell appeared and forced herself in on their duel.

They both knew that whoever won the fight in the mind would take shape soon after, and before their very eyes a female form was taking shape.

Panic flashed in Annable's eyes but she was to busy pushing the Creed back inside the gate to be able to do anything.

"Val!! Do something! How did she even find this place?" Shouted Annabel as she no longer held back against the Creed, quickly reducing their seemingly endless numbers to a pitiful count of millions.

Noticing she was running out of time Veshara wasted no more time finishing off Terel before she allowed Dashnell to consume and absorb her.

Valara was also rushing as she sent an attack aiming to break the connection between Veshara, Dashnell and Terel.

Only to be to late as the attack she sent was also absorbed as a second light flashed, when they looked over they could see Dashnell sitting on his tail with a look of loss on his face.

Annabel seen Dashnell emerge as the victor and no longer worried about anything going on down below, she left it all to Valara as she focused her attention fully on the Gate that was unsealed.

As Valara rushed forward Vivian knew something was wrong and rushed towards Dashnell alongside her. "Val what happened who was that woman?" Vivian asked Valara but the look of fear, and shock made Valara unable to respond.

By the time they reached Dashnell he was no longer sitting down and moved towards them, once the trio met up they both noticed the increase in Dashnells power it was much like his other body within the Void.

The only difference was the look in his eyes, him being slightly taller and the change in the size of the golden rings he usually wears around his body.

"Don't look at me like that, I am find. Veshara, I am shocked you were able to notice her so fast or at all. She has been following me ever since I woke up, all the way back to when I first awoke on Teress.

At first I thought she was making things up trying to trick me but as time went on as more of my memories came back everything she said turned out to be true.

Who knew that I was split into two halves so long ago by The First."

Hearing this Valara tries her best to find the point in time when this occured only to be met with Nala The First she met when she tried to find out Dashnells true origins.

"We cannot allow anyone to see this at least not yet, not until Dashnell is made whole once more.

Once he merges with his other self sleeping within the Void we will allow you to see everything.

As once Dashnell obtains all his former power we will no longer be able to obstruct you regardless."

Stumbling backwards Valara is forced out of the stream of time, rage and embarrassment fully covering her face.

If she wielded absolute power who would be able to obstruct her who is Time itself from staying within her own Domain.

All living creatures who could truly manipulate time have met Valara, and she has ran into quite a few who tried to take her life so they can obtain her power.

Lucky for her she was able to use the Domain of Time to her advantage but even then she could only flee.

If she was stronger who would dare to defy Time who would dare defy Her!

Holding her tears back a hand wraps around her as she feels the small face on her back she tries to calm herself.

While Vivian was trying to comfort her another hand was felt, this time on her shoulder.

"This is not your fault Valara, as you are now Time itself you should know that you are not the first to become Time.

Dashnell killed the previous one and The First gave you that power as they did not wish for him to have it but they also could not give it to just anyone.

They had to hand it over to someone who would be able to grow alongside him that already had an affinity in controlling Time."

Vivian hearing this became upset as she could control and manipulate time at a godly level when she was a Guardian living alongside Ventis.

Before she could continue her thoughts Nala appeared before the group once more.

"Some of us wanted to gift you the power Vivian, the problem with that is... Complicated.

We ruled that if you became the next God of Time you would become nothing but a slave to Dashnell as you are now.

At Least with Valara she will resist him even if it's only slightly.

We can't allow him to possess to many God affinities, he already is the God of Destruction and Balance if we added God of Time onto that list, would we be able to stop him next time.

Stopping him last time was too costly, he killed the God of Time and Destruction only welding the power of a young God of Balance.

If Annabel did not aid us he would have obtained a world were only he remained, and once he awoke from his madness we were unsure of what he would do.

Valara is a new soul created by Lilly, with this at least we would have someone who would not completely become his tool to use willingly."

Not wanting to her Nala talk about her any more Valara shouts. "Stop! I I... I would never do anything that would harm him, but yes I know to never let him have his way.

I am sure you realize that if he truly pushed me I would become his puppet, I would even die for him and allow him to become the next God of Time."

"Yes. We know that, but he would never do such a thing, this is why it works out in our favor.

We already merged and became a singular consciousness all so we could have a say when he regained his former powers.

As well as to participate in the final struggle against the Ancient Creed.

His lifeforce is reaching its end, after Dashnell and Annabel forced him to almost meet death he abandoned his physical body and fled away.

We have yet to be able to find him, that was until Dashnell used his release form when Verena died.

Once he seen Dashnells release form for the second time it caused him untold amounts of fear and he finally made a mistake allowing us to pinpoint him.

He decide to hid in plain sight sealing himself within the Void that Dashnell's release form has taken as his personal napping spot."

As I have very little to no energy left in my body I could only give Nala a look of displeasure, what shocked me was that she only sent back a smile. One that caused me great fear, I am sure I have seen that smile before and the reaction from Vivian and Annabel proved me right.

As I try to signal for Valara to get me to safety Lilly who remained silent the entire time sealed off the area, a smile then appeared on her face that matched Vivians, Annabels and Nala's.

With no ability to resist my body is attacked by these hungry women even Valara joined in, sucking large quantities of my blood.

I understand that due to my regeneration and other self lying in the Void that I could never truly run out of blood but this is annoying.
