A small human boy sat upon his throne made of living organs and bones looking down upon a grown man. A small smirk curled up from the boy's paper-thin pale lips as he watched the scarred man stand up from his reclined position. This was him, the last human, the one who managed to collapse the Heart Federations army all by his lonesome. This man could be called the strongest human on the planet with no hesitation. This is Kingsley Procket AKA King.
‘My greatest adversary, my only threat, please make this worthwhile for me.’
“I don’t have to drop any spiel right? We can just do this right?” Tyr spoke succinctly as he got up too, stretching his skinny body. Exhaling deeply King squatted down into a readied stance. Giving no response King dashed towards Tyr at inhuman speed and punched him square in the jaw. The silhouette of Tyr flew into the grotesque throne he had just stood up from. Tyr’s limp body hung by his head which was now lodged inside the throne itself.
‘Hahahahahaha! Perfect he’s perfect! I better not meet his warm reception with such a weak show. I need to show my guest around after all.’ King lunged at Tyr once more to grab his body while it was still lodged within the throne but before he could Tyr disappeared. King spun around and found Tyr smiling wildly as he readjusted his now perpendicular neck to where it had been before.
“It’s time to start the welcome party!” Tyr exclaimed elatedly. While he did King started bouncing back and forth on the balls of his feet as a mixed martial artist does. “Here let me show you around!” This time Tyr stomped down into the ground revealing the floor beneath them. As they collapsed Tyr shrouded himself in his black miasma and dashed forward breaking the sound barrier instantly. He appeared in front of the free-falling King and kicked deep into his gut sending him flying into the wall previously parallel to him.
King smashed through all of the large castle walls and landed atop the peak of a roof. He clutched onto the spire and scanned the area and as if by premotion he spun around and punched behind him. “Ya caught me! Hahahaha!” King had smashed directly through Tyr's middle chest yet the freak was smiling at him. “Or more like I caught you!” With that said Tyr grappled onto King’s arm and propelled himself off the roof towards the direction of the ravine.
The two of them struggled in the air wrestling back and forth, not even bothering to care that they were plummeting hundreds of feet at unimaginable speeds. Tyr clawed at King’s eyes and while King bit a chunk out of his neck and spit it back into his face. King retracted his fist from the hole he had made out of Tyr’s chest and immediately dug back into his chest. King crushed Tyr’s heart from the inside yet Tyr only laughed crazily while headbutting into King’s teeth.
As gravity does it the two meteored into the ground creating a single crater where they landed. As if the stone that they were lodged in was butter they broke out of their ground prison and started fighting once more with little reserve. Rousing his miasma once more, Tyr dashed at King, this time using it to hold King steady while he blasted directly into his chest. Tyr one Sidley pummelled King into the ravine walls until they collapsed around him. King used the falling rocks as cover grabbed Tyr by his feet and slammed him into the other side of the ravine. The ravine walls collapsed like a house of cards and all sorts of rocks piled up.
King found Tyr’s body underneath a boulder smashed into a paste. With no reserve, he grabbed Tyr’s feet and yanked him out from underneath the boulder and started slamming him into any particularly hard thing he could find. Tyr only laughed and laughed as his body slowly regenerated despite the beating. When he was whole again Tyr turned himself into a black mist and reformed behind King. He stabbed into King’s body with his claw-like fingernails but got stuck as King flexed his lats to catch him. King spun around fast enough that he ripped Tyr’s arm from his body. He grabbed onto Tyr’s head with a manic look on his face and twisted it off like a bottle cap. Even then Tyr was laughing as if mocking King’s efforts.
King then started organs and bones out of Tyr’s body like nobody's business and then he ground everything to dust. Then King took Tyr’s laughing head and mushed it between his fists as one would do with a can of soda. Even then Tyr’s particles gravitated towards each other to form the evil being once more. “Miss me?” Said Tyr tantalizing King as if baiting him in. Not one to shy away King kicked off towards Tyr only to be met by a dark beam of negative energy. King got blasted deeper and deeper into the Drocth’s crust along with Tyr’s beam. He came to a stop at a rather large pool of magma and other molten rocks. An idea struck King.
Tyr flew down the tunnel he had just made until he came upon King’s body. ‘Huh. That’s funny he’s just laying there...not doing anything at all. What’s even more funny is that his heart isn’t beating anymore.’ “Hey quit joking and get up we gotta fight some more. That beam couldn’t harm a fly there’s no way it could kill you. Right?” Tyr asked as he prodded King’s body with his foot. “Right...I know you're faking it so stop acting so uptight and be a man. C’mon fight me! We were just getting to the good part.” Tyr lashed out at King’s limp body. “Get up get up get up! That death beam wasn’t shit to you and I know it! Get Up!” Despite Tyr’s pleas King didn’t get up in fact King’s body wasn’t moving at all. Every bodily function had practically shut off entirely almost unnaturally.
His anguish highlighted by the glowing magma Tyr couldn’t help but whine. “You were supposed to kill me! You were the one! You’re the strongest right! How come you all die?! How come you’re all so weak?! Why…” Tyr slumped down in between his knees, “Why can’t I just die?” Tyr sobbed to himself. Tyr was burdened with life and God had given him no way to repent.
“I was planning on sneak attacking you,” A calm voice echoed through the tunnel.
“You’re-!”
“But incidentally you said something relatable. I think I finally have an inkling as to why you’re doing all this now. I’ll grant your wish somehow I’ll kill you. That’s what you deserve after all.”
“Thank you!” Tyr said elatedly. Wasting no time at all he sent a right hook in King’s direction. King countered with his own punch, but as soon as they touched Tyr disappeared into thin air. King anticipated this and reached out in both directions with his arms. Tyr appeared on top of his right arm and low kicked King’s head.

King caught Tyr’s Achilles heel in his mouth and dropped his arm simultaneously while reaching up with his left arm to grab Tyr’s head. King managed to grip onto Tyr’s neck and used his strength to fold Tyr as if he was a piece of paper. With a grin, King wrapped his arms around Tyr’s folded body and said, “I think I got an idea that might satisfy us both.” Tyr scoffed while his spine slowly healed back to normal. With little time until Tyr healed back to normal once more, King dove into the lava pool and swam deep into the depths.
The heat felt warm to him but for Tyr, it was just as scalding as it would be for anyone. His flesh melted off his body only for it to be artificially healed right back. King swam through the dense molten sheet further and further until his own skin started to feel like it was scalding. Tyr was in worse straights as now his disintegrating body had little time to heal. It really felt like he was going to die yet he never did. They swam together deeper and deeper until a greater force started pulling them deeper against their own wills.
The sheer magnetic power of the core of Drocth(the planet they are residing on) pulled them deeper and deeper until they came to a stop at the core. The core desperately tried to melt the two and liquidate them into the natural cycle of the planet. But despite King and Tyr both being burnt extra crispy neither of them melted. Both of them tossed and turned in the core clawing at each other once more. Their punches and kicks created gas pockets in the core as they vehemently tried to kill each other. Magma had long since filled their lungs yet they showed no signs of slowing down their fight.
While this was taking place the gas pockets congealed into one humongous one inside the core of the planet. Eventually, it moved to the center where Tyr and King had been and started being compressed by the gravity that surrounded it. Slowly, inch by inch, the bubble compressed until it couldn’t be seen by the naked eye anymore. It compressed and compressed until it could no longer compress anymore.
King crunched Tyr’s neck in his hand while Tyr stabbed into his sides with his claw-like fingers. As if instinctually both of them stopped as a deep rumble was heard from within the core of Drocth. Eventually not only a rumbling assaulted them but a wave of magma too, and after that, they were launched into the first layer of the crust in what felt like an instant. The pressure built until they were launched out from the crust and into the atmosphere above. The two people didn’t stop there either they kept going until they were in space.
They should have instantly died from the air leaving their bodies into the vacuum of space, but fortunately for them, they swallowed gallons of magma prior to being launched into space. They flew through space at astronomical speeds and didn’t stop fighting for a second while they did. King grabbed Tyr by his body and turned him toward the sun forcing him to look directly at the unhindered star. The radiation turned his skin into boils and blisters almost instantly and his eyes started bleeding. With no footing to turn himself around Tyr could only smile while his body slowly withered. Or so King had thought. Tyr gripped his own arm and ripped it off then stabbed it back straight into King’s stomach. Using his own mangled arm as a grip he flipped the script and latched onto King from behind.
King now had to face the brunt of the sun as they flew ever close to it and even he wasn’t unscathed. With no other options, King decided to do the one thing everyone knows not to do and started spinning. They spun and spun as they launched forward with no sign of slowing down. Actually they got faster and faster as they spun until they were forced to latch onto each other for fear of being launched permanently into the void. That isn’t to say they weren’t still trying to kill each other of course.
King vomited in Tyr’s face because of the motion sickness and in retort, Tyr spat a loogey into King’s open mouth. When they entered the atmosphere of the sun the flames licked at them but quickly got sucked up into the vortex that was King and Tyr. They quickly merged into the supernova that their planet had been orbiting for the past eternity. In truth, the star was already close to collapsing in on itself all it needed now was a single push.
The vortex around the two men got bigger and bigger until the entire start itself started getting sucked towards the two men. For a brief instant, it seemed like the two men were now the star itself but that was only for a moment. The light being emitted by the star disappeared as it slowly compressed into the artificially created center by the two warring people. King’s flesh started melting and Tyr was barely managing with his miasma. But all of a sudden the heat vanished and they could start their real fight once more. That was only for a brief moment.
The hyper-compressed star created a blackhole like none other before it. The two people got sucked into the black hole of their own creation and were held completely still. Their bodies compressed and compressed yet they didn’t falter. For some ungodly reason, these two beings could not seem to die. Matter from planets, cosmic dust, and asteroids converged on them compressing into the 2D matter at the center of the black hole making the blackhole even stronger than it had been. The two of them fainted eventually under the...uhh...extreme conditions. In fact, they didn’t wake up for years by then they were already smaller than your average molecule. The force of the black hole was trying to convert their matter into something it could contain yet it couldn’t do it.
This didn’t stop the black hole from sucking up the neighboring galaxies until literally nothing was left. The exponential power of the blackhole compressed everything in the universe until it was all at a single point, or rather almost everything. The two men stubbornly held on as they slowly died on the surface of the black hole. Tyr had long since been turned into flattened dust particles but his miasmatic energy didn’t let him collapse. And King, well King’s particles just wouldn’t compress any further.
Since the black hole could not compress the two people the suction force of it started to force it to envelop them. Eventually, it completely surrounded them, but the issue was that the vacuum was still compressing. By all means, it tried to compress back into a single point as it once had been but it could not. The two men caused the black hole to compress and decompress at unimaginable speeds until eventually it went beyond its limits and imploded in on itself. Effectively creating a Big Bang.
Under the duress of the Big Bang Tyr’s miasma was erased completely and his existence finally ended then and there. King on the other hand did not get melted instantly by all the energy in existence suddenly being launched out at him at a speed faster than light. Simply because his body was already so compressed that most of the energy passed around him as if he was nothing. Not only that, since the gravitational pull of the blackhole ceased he was sucked back into open space along with every other particle in existence. He didn’t break because he literally could not at the size he was.
King flew through space for an eternity, he orbited around forming stars and other planets, until one day he crash-landed onto a planet. His atom-sized body was absorbed into a pool of lava on the forming planet, and it hardened around him. His body became entrapped in the crust of the planet and he was left there to rest eternally. Neither alive nor dead; until someone or something happened upon him.
Shits crazy.
