Day 101

Mood: PSYCH!

Justice smiled as he closed his eyes and felt a warm light overcome him. He only saw darkness, the light went and Justice opened his eyes. But instead of being home he was in the inner sanctum of the Edge of Madness. He saw balls of fire fall from the ash grey sky. He looked at his feet and saw that he was standing on a large circular platform with his comrades. He looked up to see a throne, and sitting on that throne was  Iscariot, the divine thought entity of chaos and disorder. He had his legs were crossed and he was leaning back as if completely relaxed. In his hand was a long silver sword that he played with, sketching on the ground, causing magma to rise slowly.

“It took you guys long enough to get here, now what is up guys?” Iscariot took his sword and plunged it into the ground in front of him. Everyone was taken aback.

“We won the war, we want to go home!” Dios called out. Iscariot simply smiled at the hero.

“Yes, you beat the soldiers, but now you have to defeat the general.” Iscariot then stood up and with a simple blink of his red eyes the throne behind him blew to pieces. His power was so great that it was visible even to their eyes.

“His power level is unbelievable guys, the reading is way too high, even if we combined the power of all his warriors it wouldn’t even come close!” Cyan said, her tome glowing blue from her analysis ability. Iscariot’s power grew as his aura started to blow away the champions of harmony.

“Come on guys, we need to hang in there. This is the final stretch, we can do it!” Dios announced and everyone stood their ground. They were ready to fight till the end, they had no choice in the matter, home was just in their reach, if only they could fight one more enemy.

“Bring it on, I’m ready.” Iscariot egged them on and put his sword in its holster behind him.

“Don’t mind if I do!” Guinevere jumped into the fray first, the effect of her berserk ability taking place. She threw a quick and powerful punch directly at Iscariot’s face.

“What was that, take this seriously.” Iscariot said as he held Guinevere’s fist back with one finger.

“What the hell?” Guinevere uttered, completely shocked by his great strength. Iscariot spun his hand around and took Guinevere with his hand motions and he slammed her to the ground and kicked her in the face with his steel tipped boot sending her flying back.

“Guinevere!” Bone ran to her and caught her before she fell on the ground. “Oh now you’re getting it. Let down your guard!” Bone ordered the supreme being but Iscariot did not even fidget from Bone’s magic words. Bone launched three cards at him but they did not even touch him, blocked by some invisible barrier.

“Is that your best shot? I’m utterly disappointed.” Iscariot shrugged his shoulders as he picked up the cards and threw them back at Bone, two aimed at his shoulders and one at his shin. They all hit with deadly accuracy and crippled him.

“Ow dammit!” Bone fell to the ground still clutching Guinevere. Mana growled at Iscariot and pounced at him.

“You are disgusting!” She called out to him as she went to dig her claws into his pale flesh. Iscariot put up his foot and hit her square in the face.

“Take your turn.” With her still in the air he performed a series of spinning kicks in her face and ended with a somersault kick sending her tumbling in the air like a rag doll. 

“You monster!” Katarina formed her sword from the air and Jasmine took out her dual katanas and charged for him.

“I’m not like Justice you know.” Iscariot took out his sword and parried all their attacks. “Baleful Impact!” Iscariot held out his hand and a wave of energy shot out of it and knocked them back. Jude intercepted them and crashed into the ground together.

“Just go, we’ll take care of the fallen!” Selena called out to the warriors as her, Cyan, Air, Matilda and Jiol stood back with those who were hurt.

“The more the merrier I say.” Iscariot stated and Astro and Dios rushed in with weapons in hand. 

“Big Impact!” Dios chanted opening a chamber in his sword.

“Big Wave!” Astro released a large wave of energy at Iscariot.

“Black burn.” Iscariot held up a finger which destroyed Astro’s and Dios’ attack and threw them into the air. “Nice try, better come around next week.” Iscariot chuckled. Jems then left forward and kicked Iscariot who blocked the blow with his arm. “Now this is what I’m talking about. True strength right here, too bad.” Iscariot said and smiled again. “Tyrant rave.” Iscariot threw his fist at Jems and sent her flying with a blast of black chaotic energy.

“Jems!” Justice screamed out for her as she fell back. “Damn you Iscariot. Blood Cain!” Justice slammed the ground and his hair grew white and his eyes bloodshot as he dashed for Iscariot.

“Now it’s a party!” Iscariot said and the two got into a furious fight.

“Burial Edge!” Justice chanted and charged his sword with energy.

“Burial...Blade.” Iscariot did the same and their weapons clashed and Justice was blown back. “Hmph, you can do nothing to stop me.”
