Anna slowly opens her eyes.
"Fall back!" yelled one Apostle, blocking the flames of the one Aswang with his magical shield before being burned alive. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
Anna slowly stands up. She sees a bubble forcefield around her. She looks around, and with her are her friends. Jedan, Lord, Fred, Gerard, Athena, and Happy. Everyone looks like they're fine. Just a bit shaken up.
She looks at the distance and is horrified by a massive Aswang moving toward them.
Anna stands up and prepares to fight.
The Aswang ticks his wings and prepares his large sharp claws.

She looks closely in his eyes. "Miguel?"
The monstrosity stops.
"What the heck happened to you?" she asked, with eyes scared and quivering.
"All hail the King..." said Miguel.
"Miguel?"
Miguel activates his flames and walks passed the forcefield, stomping forward with his hunched back.
Spikes from the bubbles are shot to stab Miguel in the back. A second bubble forms inside the bubble and throws Miguel out of her bubble.
Anna puts her hand against the field. "Miguel..."
Miguel twitches his head and shrieks at her, angrily. "KRRRYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! KRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"
"Miguel... It's... It's me! Remember?"
Miguel immediately charges, causing her to back away. Miguel constantly slams his body into the field as it slowly cracks.
"Miguel!" yelled the Reaper.
The bubble is popped and Miguel faces against his master.
"Kid...? What's wrong?" asked the Reaper.
Miguel's eyes vibrate in an uncanny pattern. It's as if he is hypnotized and controlled by an outside force.
"Kid!?" asked the Reaper.
Miguel charges at the Reaper. "HELL FAIYA!!!"
The Reaper tosses his flaming bullet away as Miguel yells, "PANAKOP!!!"
Miguel powers up with blue flames around him as he slams his body into the Reaper's, causing Reaps to spit out blood.
"Yes!" yelled the King. "Show Mr. Reaper the vengeance of the Aswang! Show this... Judge... the horrors they've done to us! DO IT WHAT THEY DID TO OUR KIND!!!"
Miguel swipes right and left but the Reaper blocks the attack and throws a flurry of vertical punches.
The fists begin to flame as the Reaper yells, "HELL RUSH!!!"
Miguel does the Aerial Cartwheel Hell Kick before the Reaper grabs his head and slams it into the ground. Miguel's hard skin was barely fazed at all. He teleports around to punch the Reaper from almost every direction but in one of his teleportations, the Reaper grabs a hold of his tail and slams him into the ground.
Miguel growls and shakes his head like an animal. He tries biting at the Reaper over and over as the Reaper grabs a hold of his snout and tries snapping his neck. The Reaper realizes what he was about to do and pushes him away.
Miguel stops.
"Yes... Did you see that? He nearly killed you. Just like the filthy Judge he is. KILL THE HUNTER SCUM!!!"
Miguel shrieks and tries slicing the Reaper by spinning and spreading his wings, using his wings like a blade.
The Reaper handsprings backwards and does the splits while midair, proceeding to blasts his version of the Aerial Cartwheel Hell Kick, the Hell Top.
The Reaper, beginning to get desperate, unleashes Hell Storm, making flames rain down at Miguel thru a Hell Tornado Cloud only for Miguel to pass thru that and keep growling and roaring.
"Kid... STOP THIS!!!" yelled Prometheus, as he used his chain technique to grab Miguel with his chain stick and slam him into the building only for Miguel to teleport and punch Prometheus in the face. Prometheus was obviously unfazed, but the attack was powerful enough to make the bubble crack.
Anna and the others look terrified right now, realizing that the Aswangs are just far too powerful compared to them.
Prometheus desperately reaches his hand to the bubble to keep the kids safe.
The King snickers and walks toward the bubble. "Hahahahahaha!!! AAAAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"NO!!!" yelled Prometheus.
The Reaper continued to exchange punches with Miguel, only to be slammed around and be beaten.
"STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!" yelled Prometheus, with his voice breaking.
The King snickered as he entered the reflection and walked backwards inside of the bubble.
The kids looked terrified.
The Reaper realizes what he has to do. The Reaper closes his eyes and-...
*THUD!!!*
The Reaper... hugs Miguel.
*SHING!!!*
*SPLAT!!!*
The Reaper drools blood as Miguel's claws dug into his belly. "L-L-Look... I'm sorry 'bout your dad... You're not the o-o-only one who lost his father... He may be the one who made you... But he w-w-w-would never be your father... Because your father... i-i-is hug-g-ging you... r-r-right now... Son... Love... You..."

"Let go..." said the Nazarene.
Miguel begins tearing up. His eyes finally become normal. His claws retract. His body becomes human once more. The Reaper goes limp while hugging Miguel.
Miguel begins whimpering as he grabs unto the Reaper. "No... No, no, no... NO!!! Reaps? Come on! NO!!! NO!!!" Miguel begins crying uncontrollably.
The King snickers.
"RAUGH!!!" Anna punched him from behind.
The King turns to her, annoyed.
Anna realizes that she was able to hurt him. She shakes her head. "That was for Reaps."
The King prepares to attack her only for Prometheus to stab him from behind with his stick.
The King grunts in pain.
"Sticks... MOTHER... FUCKER..." growled Prometheus. "All hail... ME...!!!" Prometheus slams him to the ground.
Prometheus smiles. "I just realized how to beat you. Mirrors don't work unless you see them, right?"
"IT'S SPICIN' TIME, MATES!!!" Happy shot a bullet of spice in front of the King's eyes as Gerard cuts the shaker in half, blinding the King.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!! AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" growled the King. "KILL THEM!!! WHERE ARE YOU!?!!?"
The Aswangs growl as they try to break into Prometheus' bubble prison.
Prometheus turns to the Reaper, who is practically dying. "Kids... Show this extremist genocidal fuckface the power of family. Of love. Of understanding diff-..."
The King swings at Prometheus who blocks his attack and blasts his stick into his face, whacking him in the head repeatedly cartoonishly.
Anna appears and webs his face with her string before throwing him into Jedan and Lord, who attack him with their fists at once. The King slides down and charges back only for Gerard to slice him over and over and Happy to shoot at him over and over, finally being runover by Fred using parts of the CoolDudeBus.
"IT STILL FUCKIN' WORKS!!!" laughed Fred. "WHO LET THE DOGS OUT, MOTHERFUCKER!!!" Fred runs him over again. The King growls, unable to use his Usog.
The King, annoyed, hammers the ground, causing a massive earthquake and causing Fred to slide to the side and strike Prometheus, only for Prometheus to slow the bus down, jump up and body slam the King.
Prometheus activates his bubble gauntlets and slams his fists at the King over and over. "BUBBLE RUUUUUSH!!!"
"This is for REAPS!!! "Prometheus blows a bubble that explodes into the Multiverse and stops time as he continues punching the King over and over. "TIME RESUMES!!!"
The King receives so much damage that he crashes into hundreds of buildings. He ends up landing in the Empire State Building. Prometheus grabs him and begins sliding his face into the concrete wall all the way up the tower only for the King to manage to get his eyesight back.
Prometheus senses this and lets go only for the King to purposefully keep Pro's hand on his own face as the damage redirects to Prometheus and knocks him into the next building.
Meanwhile...
Miguel sobs as he hugged the Reaper. He hugged him tight as an Aswang prepares to attack him.
"COOL KICK!!!" Tyrone appears and suddenly kicks the creature away and freezes his face before spin kicking him and knocking him into the fire hydrant. Tyrone helps him up. "We'll get him to an infirmary..."
"You're... helping me... Why...?" asked Miguel.
"Because... you're a hero... You taught us to fight not to be stronger... But for what's right..."
From a portal...
Jess appears behind him. So does Acosta. So does Cal. And so does the rest of his batchmates.
The Aswangs shriek at the army.
"HEY!!! YOU MESS WITH THE PRINCE, YOU MESS WITH ALL OF US!!!" yelled one schoolmate.
"HE'S OUR HERO, JACKASS!!! DON'T YOU TOUCH 'IM!!!"
"HE'S OUR FURRY BLUE BOI!!! DON'T MESS WITH OUT BOI, ASSHOLE!!!"
"Go get 'im," smiled Tyrone...
Now...
"All Hail Prometheus..." The King grabs him by the head and slams him into the ground, beating him over and over. "You think this is funny? HM!?!? HOW ABOUT THIS!?!? HOW HILAAAARIOUS!!! Don't you think? Don't you realize how hilarious this is!?!?" he roared while Prometheus' blood began to form a puddle beneath him. "WEELL!?!? HOW FUNNY IS IT, NOW, IBARRA!?!!? TELL ME!!! LAUGH, GODDAMN YOOOOOU!!!"
"FLAMING SURPRISE KICK!!!" Miguel slams his feet into the King's face as his mask falls over.
"FLAMING SURPRISE KICK!!!" Miguel slams his feet into the King's face as his mask falls over [https://img.wattpad.com/812ebf79cadc602bc5e335b17b05a298d11321f6/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f7146536b4244646c70644f6a53773d3d2d313432393732303637392e313762626261343337313234613836363538313037343430303430312e706e67?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
Miguel sees his horrifying face and nearly gags from horror. The King is revealed to have half Aswang face which is veiny and malformed with a right third of his face being pinkish human muscle. He has a malformed left Aswangian ear and a right malformed fetus-like human ear on the right. His lips are incomplete and part of his mouth is connected by flesh with his teeth showing at the end of his rightside grin.
"What'sh wrongguh...?" he asked, sounding like he can't close his lips. Because he actually can't. "What'sh wronguh, Miguel? Don't like whatchu see? You find me... terrifying? Hm?"
"Mr. King... I don't want to fight you!"
"Even ngafter I almost made you murder your master?"
Miguel's lips quiver. "Yes... Even after that... I wish to speak to you... diplomatically... Like a good leader should. Like all these leaders should! Like they always should have!"
"But do they? DO THEY!?!?!" asked the King. He shows off his face. "Jish showsh a different anshwer."
"Okay... First of all... Go fuck yourself. Second of all..." Miguel itches his butt with his middle finger and flips him off. "Third..." Miguel bows in respect to the King.
"What the hell are you doing...?" asked Prometheus.
"I, Miguel Azral, am the grandson of Prometheus, thus, I may act as a representative of all Westerners out there since Prometheus rules over them. I'm sorry. Please. I beg of you. I... I'm sorry. We all are. We humbly apologize for the actions we've caused to the Philippines."
The King's eyes quiver. He begins crying blood. "You... would do all jish for me?"
"Please... Leave us alone..." said Miguel.
For the first time, the King realized he was feeling... conflict.
The King offers a punch only for Miguel to block it and kick him away.
"Please..." said Miguel.
The King offers several punches from all directions, shooting at him point-blank as Miguel just keeps on track and blocking and pushing away the attacks.
"WHY WON'T YOU FIGHT!?!?"
"Because you're not worth it."
The King growls and throws several punches as Miguel perfectly dodges all of his attacks and redirects each strike.
Miguel hops up and down. "Had enough?"
"AN ASWANG NEVER BACKS AWAY FROM A FIGHT!!!"
"Not all Aswangs are the same... Like... not all people are the same... Earlier... My classmates... who used to be my enemies... aided me in battle... Doesn't that mean anything to you?"
"Because I am WORSE THAN ANYTHING YOU'VE EVER FACED!!!"
"Exactly. You're WORSE. You don't count as a bad guy. Because... You're just... conflicted... You're weak for hurting people..."
"That... IS POWER!!!"
Miguel shakes his head. "That's foolishness. You don't have to fight."
"WHY!?!? WHY!?!?"
"Because... on behalf of the Westerners... We're sorry... We apologize for our demeanor back in the war..."
"You weren't even there."
"EXACTLY!!! None of these people here were even there! They're just descendants of idiots who committed bad things! That doesn't mean they're just as bad as they are! The world is ABOUT change! And... I'd like to be a part of that," he smiled. "I've changed."
"I don't understand."
"Okay. Lemme repeat. These Americans? Not really-..."
"No. No, I don't understand! I... I scarred you for life! I gaslit you! I destroyed EVERYTHING YOU ONCE WERE TO CONTROL YOU!!! And... you're FORGIVING me!?"
"I'm... tired of hating. Of being angry. Let's... all just be friends! I mean, you'd still face consequences for what you've done..."
"But... I didn't apologize. Why apologize to me?"
"Because you deserve an apology as much as I do."
The King nods for a second, and...
...leaves. He flies away along with his entire army. Suddenly, the Aswangs leave the continent thru portals, following after their King.
"How...?"
"Diplomacy. You taught me that in school-..."
"No... How... How the hell did you know... he wouldn't kill anyone else...?" asked Prometheus.
"You can sense it, right? It's like a filled-up balloon releasing air instead of exploding. He's at peace..." said Miguel. "All he needed was an apology... That's all that I needed as well..." smiled Miguel.
"What if he tried to kill you?" asked Prometheus.
Athena pops out of Miguel's pocket with some spice shakers. "Hiyo!"
Prometheus facepalms. He snickers. "I'll make sure not to have him killed but arrested instead. Wow! You sure are somethin', kid!" He stops. "Oh my God... REAPS!!!"
"He's okay. He's in the infirmary."
That night... in the hospital... The Reaper reads a book about seahorses. Miguel walks in his room.
"Kid..." said the Reaper.
"Hey, Mr. Reaps..." said Miguel.
"Hey... About what I said-..." he turned red as Miguel hugged him.
"Thank you for being the best father I ever wished I had..." he sniffled.
The Reaper hugs him. "Thank you for making me see what it's like if a version of me out there had a father."
"I can't believe that my own alter is my father... Ha! That's so weird!" laughed Miguel.
"I know, kid. I know..."
