Fallen Stars
Mystery Seventeen
Deimos Khaimera
**Meanwhile...
Where Wrath is…**
Wrath: Aahhh, my head is thumping. Where the fuck did I get kicked to?
Tupi: Get up. We’re at the Snow Fountain: Courant d'eau. I’ll end this before it shoots again.
The area is completely covered in all-white snow, while a very steel-colored metal fountain is sitting to the far right of them.
**Snow Fountain: Courant d'eau.**
Wrath gets up.
Wrath: So you took me sightseeing, how kind.
Tupi runs over to Wrath, angrily.
Tupi: Shut up!
Wrath takes a Frontal Karate Stance, breathing in and out.
Wrath: **Deimos Khaimera*: Periphas**
AN* Deimos Khaimera translates to The hybrid beast's reign of terror!
Wrath’s palm taps Tupi’s chest, knocking him back far.
Tupi: Whoaaaaa!!
Crashing into the snow.
Tupi: What happened?
Wrath: Geez, and that was one of the weaker ones.
Tupi (fuming): I’m going to kill you kid. Arrogant bastard!
Wrath: (I wonder, can I beat him without my lightning.) Bring it.
Tupi comes in jabbing, while Wrath just sidesteps dodging all the blows.
Wrath: **Deimos Khaimera: Royal Periphas**
Wrath swings his fists back and forth, to go with the wind. Then hits Tupi square in the jaw. Tupi doesn’t move from the hit!
Tupi: Weak.
Tupi punches Wrath. Making him fly back into the snow!
Wrath: Damn!
Wrath spits some blood out.
Wrath: His punches pack some power behind them.
Tupi: You won’t ever hurt me.
Wrath: Oh, you sure?
Tupi with a serious look.
Tupi: I’m sure.
Wrath: Alright. (Guess I’ll use it.)
Wrath gets up and points 1 finger sending out a surge.
Wrath: **Blind Fury**
A surge of electricity jumps off of Wrath’s finger hitting Tupi in the head.
Tupi: Ahhh, so damn weak.
Wrath raises an eyebrow.
Wrath: Huh?
Tupi blitzes in, punching Wrath in the stomach. Throwing him right into the Snow Fountain.
Wrath (coughing and standing up): I’ll just dodge next time.
Tupi: How?
Tupi is right next to Wrath, with a fist raised. Slamming it down. Wrath just getting out in time.
Wrath: Whew. (I need to do something, he isn’t hurt by my attacks.)
Tupi rushed in behind Wrath.
Tupi: That sure won’t work. I told you.
He kicks Wrath in the back, making him fly forward. Wrath, while flying thinking to himself.
Wrath: (Just like the mountain.)
Wrath puts electricity on his hand and starts boosting it, to lessen the impact. Still crashing but not as much.
Wrath: Alright, playtime is over.
Wrath breathes in and out again.
Wrath: **Voltage System: 100K Volts**
[Voltage System; Wrath changes his electricity’s voltage.
Whenever he decides the number, it stays like that.
Until he runs out of power or changes it himself.]
Wrath: Try this on for size.
Wrath coats himself in electricity then rushes in and punches Tupi in the face!!
Wrath: **Supreme King’s Punch**
Tupi flies back, and Wrath catches up to him and punches him down to the ground! Striking Tupi, thunder rumbles in the clouds!
Tupi: Pahaha. That didn’t even hurt.
Wrath: …
Wrath continues punching Tupi in the stomach and face. Thunder rumbling even more!
Wrath: Was that enough?
Tupi: Nope.
Tupi kicks Wrath and jumps backward.
Tupi: This will be over soon.
Wrath (smiles): Yeah, it will be. (I got an idea. I only have a small window.)
Tupi: Come at me then!
Wrath: I’m already there, bitch!
The two run towards each other. Tupi throws the first punch, with Wrath slightly dodging, then gets his karate stance.
Wrath: Now this one will hurt.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
Wrath: **Deimos Khaimera: Lycaon’s Revenge**
Wrath lightly taps Tupi on the chest, but Tupi gets knocked back, flying into the air, and spits up some blood. Tupi touched his mouth and saw blood!
Tupi: Blood?! How?!
Wrath (grins): That’s not all.
Wrath raises his hand into the air and then brings it down!!
Wrath: **King’s Wrath**
A bolt of blue surging lightning breaks apart the snowy clouds above, snapping through to strike Tupi!! The lightning seems supercharged, coming surging in!
Tupi: Agh!
Wrath: Yahaha! That’s not it, baldie!!
Wrath raises his arm up and down. Raining more and more lightning!
Wrath: Yahaha, Die!
Then something comes running from the trees. Wrath looks over and sees…
Wrath: Whoa, what the fuck! That’s a Polar Bear!
The polar bear comes running at Wrath full speed. It's covered in all-white fur, with its salivating mouth. Very sharp teeth and claws.
Wrath: I got it.
Wrath about to raise his hand, Zeus comes running in, punching the bear in the face. (In the form of a Monkey.) The bear is sent flying!!
Wrath (hyped): Nice, Zeus!!!
Tupi reached out his hand from the ground.
Tupi: Austin!
Wrath: You really can’t be hurt, huh? I’ll change that, ya chrome dome.
Tupi: …
**Tupi**
Stellar: K5
Cosmic Path: Pain Immunity
Animal: Polar Bear (Modern)
Age: 24
Wrath gets up and gets close to Tupi. With his hand still raised.
Wrath: Time to go...
Tupi started to tear up.
Tupi (scared and crying): (Is this how I got out? To a little cocky punk like this. I had some good times.)
** Flashback: Nine Years Ago**
We are taken inside a doctor’s office.
Tupi: Mom, do we have to be here?
**Tupi**
15 years old
(Tupi’s Mom) Janice: Yes we do. We have to see what is causing you so much pain. You want to stop hurting right?
Tupi: Ahhh, yesss.
Janice: Well, we’ll be right here waiting on them.
Tupi: Yes, ma’am.
**Umbriel**
A doctor walks in asking for a family...
Dr. Lock: Yes, the Corbett family?
Janice: That’s us!
Janice grabbed her stuff.
Janice: C’mon, Tupi.
They both walk into the doctor’s office. They sit walking for him to walk in, and 10 minutes pass by.
Tupi: How long will we be here?
Janice: Till they check you out.
Someone knocks on the door walking in.
Dr. Lock: Ah yes, now why are you here today?
Janice: My son is very sensitive to pain. Some days he can’t even walk with how painful it is.
Dr. Lock: That’s unfortunate to hear. We can run some tests, but we would have to take some blood.
Tupi: Needles??
Dr. Lock: Yes, only 1 needle. You can make it through that right? You’re a tough kid.
Tupi looks at his mom.
Tupi (afraid): Mom, I don’t want to do this.
Janice: It’ll be fine. Just 1 needle right doctor?
Dr. Lock: Mhm, just one. I’ll be right back with it.
Dr. Lock leaves the room for the needle.
Tupi: Mom, I don’t want to do this.
Janice: This will help you get better. At least find out what the problem is.
Tupi (tearing up): I really don’t want to, this is going to hurt a lot.
Dr. Lock walks back in.
Dr. Lock: Alright let me see your arm.
Tupi sniffling. He rolls up his sleeve.
Dr. Lock: You won’t even feel it. I’m going on 1, so be prepared.
Dr. Lock finds a vein and readies the needle.
Dr. Lock: Alright. 3 ...2….
Dr. Lock rams it in on 2…
Tupi: Motherfucker you said 1!
Janice: Watch your mouth!
Dr. Lock: It’s fine, it’s already over.
Dr. Lock takes the needle out, filled with blood. Tupi was crying.
Tupi: Aaaaaaahhhhhh!! It hurts!!!
Janice: Calm down, Tupi.
Tupi: (It feels like I’ve been stabbed a thousand times.)
Dr. Lock: I’ll be back in a few minutes with the results. Here is an Orange.
He throws the orange to Tupi. It hits his hands causing even more pain.
Tupi: (Ahhhhhh!!!!)
Dr. Lock walks out to test the blood. Janice peels the orange, giving some slices to Tupi. He takes a bite and the pain caused by his teeth makes him spit it up.
Janice: You can’t even chew again?
Tupi: So much pain….. I just want to die.
Janice jumps up.
Janice: Don’t ever say that! We’ll get through this. They can give you some pills or something to deal with the pain. It’ll be fine…
She starts to tear up too.
Janice: Don’t die on me too Tupi. After we lost your father, it hasn’t been the same.
Tupi: Ok mom, don’t cry. I won’t die.
Janice grabs some tissues as they continue to wait. A few minutes pass by and the Doctor walks back in.
Dr. Lock: Welp. We ran all the tests. Even allergies.
Janice: And?
Dr. Lock: There’s nothing wrong with your son.
Janice: What?
Dr. Lock: Maybe it’s a psychological thing. Did some trauma happen to him recently?
Janice: No! Nothing happened to him.
Dr. Lock: He could just be mentally picturing this.
Janice: Are you saying, he’s just imagining this pain? Why would he do that?
Dr. Lock: Let’s ask your son. Did anything happen Tupi?
Tupi: Nothing happened.
Janice: See? So what will you do other than waste our time?
Dr. Lock: I can recommend a therapist, just in case it is something else.
Janice: We’re out, thanks for nothing.
Dr. Lock: You’re Welcome.
Janice storms out with Tupi. Getting home Tupi goes to his room.
Tupi: I’m going to rest.
Tupi lies down in his bed and starts hurting.
Tupi: Agh, Agh Agh. This hurts so bad.
As the day passes the next day at school, Tupi is talking to a few friends. And some bullies walk up to him.
Ken: Hey, Tupi!
Ken slaps Tupi on the back.
Tupi (stinging): Ahhh! Bitch!
Luke: Oh, this is the guy that’s just making up his pain?
Ken: Hahaha, yeah.
Tupi (troubled): Making up?
Ken: Yeah. Your mom told my mom. You're just imagining this stuff. See this doesn’t hurt.
Ken kicks Tupi in the stomach.
Tupi (pain): Ouch! (It’s like I got hit by a bat in my stomach.)
Teacher Julie: What’s going on over there?!
Ken: We’ll be back tomorrow, then the next day, then the next day. See you, Tupi.
Tupi: This is going to suck.
After school Tupi is walking through the hallways, trying to leave school to get home. He takes the back stairwell to dodge Ken.
Tupi: I should be good.
Opening the stairs door. Then starts walking down them.
Ken: Good from what?
Ken pushes him in the back, as Tupi tumbles down the stairs he feels every single step, hitting his ribs, neck, and back. Snapping his neck.
Ken: Oh shit. Get up, Tupi.
Ken looks at him from above.
Ken: I gotta go.
Ken takes off running.
Tupi lays there unconscious, then he slips to death. But then he is surrounded by smoke in a black room.
M: If you could have any power what would you want?
Tupi: Am I dead? What happened?
M: C’mon kid, anything you want. What do you desire?
Tupi sadden.
Tupi: I’m so tired of feeling pain. Wipe that away.
M: Good choice, take this also.
An egg floats over to Tupi.
M: It’ll hatch into your pure self. Whatever represents you.
Tupi: My pure self, huh….
M: Now wake up….
Teacher Julie: Tupi! Tupi! Wake up.
Tupi opened his eyes.
Tupi: I’m up.
Tupi gets up and jumps around.
Tupi (hyped): NO PAIN!!!!
Julie: What happened?
Tupi was so excited.
Tupi: Nothing at all! I’ll be going!
[Tupi: After that, I just tried to live a normal life. I even joined the basketball team, football team, and even the tennis team. I wasn't worried about hatching that egg. But after high school, I ran into a few problems. By the age of 22, I met Ogma…. Pahaha good times.]
**End of Flashback**
Tupi: I lived a decent life. End me.
Wrath: Soooon….
Wrath begins to fire off, then suddenly a huge array of light goes off in the sky.
Wrath: Draco?
**At The Ski Lift**
Vega and Ogma clash back and forth, with the other jumping back and going back in after every few cuts.
Ogma: *smirks* Huh.
Ogma’s skills start to show, outbalancing Vega and taking advantage.
Ogma: Just a bi-bit more!!
Vega: *Huff* (I need to retake the advantage.)
Vega starts gritting his teeth like he’s fully taking Ogma seriously!! Trying to get his footing right, he uses his fire to melt away all the snow.
Vega: **Fire Spread**
The red blazing fire clears out the snow on the ground in a small vicinity.
The two continue clashing swords back and forth.
Vega: (He has to have a time limit too. He doesn’t seem overly stronger than me.)
Vega sent off some fire from around his body.
Vega: **Fire Spread**
Ogma just walks through the fire coming straight at Vega.
Ogma: I told you that wouldn’t work!!
Vega stops the curved blades and jumps to the left of Ogma.
Ogma: Stop running!
Ogma keeps swinging, chasing behind Vega.
Vega: (I just have to keep using my power to make his time limit go down too. I can beat him with my sword.)
Ogma (furious): Die! Die! Die!
Vega dodged, as he smiled.
Ogma: Oh, you’re so sure, you’re going to win, huh?
2 minutes go by, with them clashing, even more, then Vega makes his move. Vega rushes in, slashing Ogma over 20 times.
Vega: (Even if he’s not hurt by this. When the time limit is over he will feel it.)
Ogma: So damn weak.
Ogma slaps all of the cuts away, and double swings on Vega, with him, just blocking in time but still getting thrown into the snow.
Ogma: C’mon!
Ogma rushes into the snow swinging, following Vega. Vega jumps out of the snow melting it with his fire.
Vega: (Every time I use my power he slaps it away or walks through it. That must be him signaling he’s using it. My fire is still weak, I have to be more powerful!)
Vega and Ogma continue clashing back and forth. Swords swing as “Cling” rings throughout the area they’re in!
Ogma (enraged): Just die already!
Vega: (It should’ve been 25 minutes now, I can still use my fire, but his power should be gone.)
Ogma: Ihaha, it's time to end this!
Ogma, with an intense face, comes in, dashing beside Vega, cutting his face, lower right cheek.
Ogma: Ihahaha. That’ll leave a scar.
Vega is covered in anger and flames.
Vega: More power. More speed.
Vega rushes to cut Ogma multiple times, but the cuts don't have any effect!
Ogma: I told you that wouldn’t work! You’re just too damn weak! Listen to me!
Ogma swings his sword clashing with Vega’s sword, then drops one sword and punches Vega square in the face! Launching him into the Ski Lift! Vega slams into it with his back!
Vega: ...
Ogma slowly walks over to him. Taking off his coat.
Vega (questioning): (Can I win? Am I going to die here? I thought that plan would work.)
Ogma: I’ll see you in hell!! Ihahaha!!
Vega becomes stunned. “I’ll see you in hell” rings through his head.
[The Lightning Beast Wins!!
What Is Vega Thinking About In A Time Like This?!]
