(Flame of Life)

Felix Faust entered the chamber that originally had the portal to the mirror dimension. The spell had now ceased to exist.

"Where is it?" Felix asked Natasha.

"Maybe he had it concealed it somehow. None of us has ever been here." Natasha defended.

"Are you playing mind games with me? Because I will kill you and your little friend outside." Felix Faust threatened.

"Can't you sense it? It's gotta be here somewhere." Natasha countered, her voice laced with fear.

Felix calmed down and took sometime to think. The mystical energy inside the chamber was faint. The sorcerer he had just killed was powerful, if his magic didn't leave as immediately as he had died.

He extended his senses throughout the sanctum. There were faint magic signals, probably oozing from the many relics he had seen coming in, but there was a stronger presence tucked away in the sanctum.

Felix smiled to himself. He recognized the magic surrounding the presence. The sorcerer wasn't lying after all.

Zoned out, Felix walked out of the chamber, forgetting that he had even captured Natasha, leaving her behind. He followed his guts and senses to another nearby chamber and walked in.

The room was empty, but he could feel the essence of the Flame of Life here.

"How is it still cloaked?" Felix wondered. "The sorcerer who had guarded it is dead."

"No matter. I have anti-magic by my side." Felix said to himself as he lifted the crystal in his possession.

He first reinforced the swirling dark magic surrounding the crystal to protect himself from it's effects before sending it hovering at the center of the room.

He then cast his acceleration spell and waited for the Nthirium to siphon away the magic cloaking the Flame of Life.

As he did this, he wondered what had happened to Abnegazar. He should have reported to him by now on the whereabouts of the Flame of Life, or any other precious relic he had come across.

A/N:

To become the Prime Sorcerer, you require the will of Prime (Razake) inside a supreme sorcerer, and, to master the powers of either of two supreme beings.

In DC, the scrolls are called axioms because they are imbued as relics at first (Flame or Mirror, etc), but then the essence of the supreme sorcerer unlocks them, revealing the scroll.

But to acquire that scroll, one more thing is required: a connection to an ancient tome, connected to the destiny. In DC, this tome is the Book of Thoth, that has been in the possession of various sorcerers, but not StrangeRazake.

(Resurrection)

The energy surrounding us had been growing stronger and stronger, and I felt certain that I was getting my magic back.

I pushed myself up from the ground, struggling to conceal my agony. Felix Faust's dark spell had brought excruciating pain, but it hadn't achieved its intended purpose.

This brought about Ghast's gasp as he wondered whether I had resurrected from the dead. I could also see the quizzical look on Itadori's face, amidst his excruciating pain.

My connection to the mystical forces remained severed, but I was still breathing. I had bought myself some precious time with my little ruse.

One way or another, I knew that I would be able to do magic, and that gave me a lot of comfort, and confidence.

Stolen novel; please report.

Without a thought, Ghast's face burrowed and he charged towards me. I was too weak and tired to evade or counter, and I couldn't afford to take the hit.

"Wait." I stopped him from advancing any further. "You don't want to fight me."

"I will rip your head off from your body to make sure you are dead this time." Ghast said furiously to me.

"Why? What did I ever do to you?" I asked out.

"It doesn't matter. Maybe I just enjoy making you suffer." Ghast shot back.

"What if I made you a deal?" I asked, hoping to stall even further, sensing the magic around was reaching it's climax.

"What could you possibly offer you magic-less wimp?" Ghast mocked.

"Ouch. But here is my deal. A chance to free you from any masters. I know how to do that." I said.

"Hahaha." Ghast laughed. "You sure got some nerve think I would believe that."

"Time's up." Ghast said as he prepared to attack me.

"Time is up indeed." I repeated, believing that my magic was due, in right about...

The magic around us reached its brim, and from above us, a rift tore apart. I knelt towards where Itadori lay as the Cloak of Levitation left my shoulders and headed to the rift.

I picked up Itadori's sling ring, as the Cloak grabbed whatever came from the small rift, gliding with it towards me. As it neared, I felt the familiar connection towards magic growing in me, before a heavy punch landed on my chin, sending me flying backwards.

The Cloak followed my soaring body, releasing the contents it had grabbed from the rift.

The sigils, the markings, the colors...it was The Book of the Vishanti, and I instantly recognized it while in midair, as I stretched my hands to pick it up.

The Cloak the wrapped around my shoulders once again, preventing me from hitting the ground, and I landed on my feet.

"You shouldn't have done that." I said as I spit blood from my mouth, my eyes glowing with an aura like never before.

The eye of Agamotto rekindled it's faint glow as it fed on the energy gathering within me. My soreness and tiredness began to fade away, even thought not completely.

I stretched my body to stand straight, and closed my eyes a bit. Too much channelling from the world of Marvel would bring forth unwanted consequences.

I removed the third gem from my tunic - the blue one, and imbued it to the Book of the Vishanti, connecting it to the DC world. That done, I opened my eyes, feeling the harmony of magic, and focused on Ghast who was approaching.

His feet caused the ground to tear apart as it trembled, as he left imprints of his grotesque feet on the ground.

"Let's see." I murmured as I flipped the pages of the Book of the Vishanti. "Which one have I missed?"

(Absolution)

Felix walked out of the sanctum, his face gleaming with a sense of accomplishment. His mood was however to be changed by what he saw.

Ghast was held in midair by the Crimson bands as Itadori used his magic to repair the cracks on the ground. The body of Doctor Strange was nowhere in sight.

"What??" He gasped in confusion, clutching tightly to something beneath his robes.

I made my presence known to him by soaring gracefully to where he stood. He jerked backwards, terrified.

"How did you-" He started, but I guess he was lost for words as he removed the crystal, about to use it against me.

"Surprised to see me?" I asked, my hands folded, and my face oozing with confidence and pride.

He cast his usual spell to amplify the Nthirium, but I didn't move a muscle to evade it. I had been thinking about anti-magic a lot, and why it half-worked on Felix.

"Magic is explainable. We channel energy from dimensions to create it." I started as he heavily chanted incantations, beads of sweat forming on his face. "But anti-magic, however, I don't understand it. What does it do? How is it created? How do you counter such an unknown force."

"I'll be honest. I couldn't have figured it out without you." I continued, smiling at the revelation that had just come to mind. "The crystal keeps the magic it takes away, and I guess that's what Kara meant when she said it was dangerous."

"You see, I felt my magic leak from the crystal when you took away Natasha's magic. And that's how you saved me, because it doesn't know how to control my magic like I do, and it ended up causing a rift in the crossover." I continued my prideful monologue. "But, what happens when one survives what doesn't kill them? They become you, with a certain level of resistance to anti-magic."

"Absolution." I said. "That's the word for it. But in a semi-absolute kind of way."

Felix was now begining to stop his incantation, seeing that what he was hoping to achieve wasn't happening.

"But what you just gave me is the complete package." I added. "You thought you were siphoning my magic, but you just gave me my magic back, alongside a complete resistance to anti-magic."

"Perfect absolution." I said as I locked my eyes to Felix's. "You meddled with a spell, thinking that you were amplifying anti-magic, but you just caused a leak in the crystal, and juiced me up."

"No." Felix said as he started another spell. This time I knew what he was going for. He was about to run. "You are an abomination. You shouldn't exist."

"Oh no you don't." I said, about to cast a binding spell.

But suddenly, something passed between us, crossing at super speed, and into the sky. Distracted, I looked up to see Supergirl holding the Nthirium.

"Seems like you've got your hands full." She said, as she turned to fly away. "I got mine full too."

But she had distracted me, and Felix had found an opening, dissolving into his dark portal.

"Run you little-" I cursed. "But you can't hide from me."

I opened my map of the OmniSight Aegis to observe where his marker would go to.
