Chapter 6 - CH-6 Nexyra

Nexyra slowly gets up, still trying to accommodate to the pain, "It seems I have lost. Yet to break my vow, you must prove yourself worthy anew. To place fate in your hands is to stand against the will of the Above"

Shimura grins, excitement, happiness, energy radiating from him. " Ha! Inform the higher ups the prophecy is gonna happen again. And this time, Two, Two Lords stand against them" .

A chill runs down Nexyra's spine.

A dream, once so distant, so far, so foggy, incomprehensible.... Full of Despondence...

Suddenly felt, a bit closer.

Nexyra tries to stand up, trembling from the pain and yet he bows in awe for Shimura.

"You might have defeated me, but fate will seize to fail again".

Everyone is relieved that everything finally ended without anyone getting hurt.

He coughs out some blood, "Your hollow Ideals shall retrieve despair once again, I warn you" His voice crackles.

"Even though you are the Seer of Time, I am able to see the future better than you". Shimura taunts Nexyra, arrogance reflecting in his eyes filled with silent anger.

Nexyra aggravated by Shimura's words, "Your arrogance is what led doom to this world!" He roars.

He whispers, his cracking voice resonating everywhere, "Nothing lays in your hands anymore Fallen Lord, your efforts will be in vain, futi-"

Shimura buries his fingers inside Nexyra's skull and twists his wrist a bit,

"I had not forgotten you, But it seems like you... have forgotten me, Weaver"

His words calm, yet frightening.

The smile that everyone had from victory fades away in less than a second. They just stand there, staring at Nexyra's head, and then at Shimura with the straightest face ever.

Suiryuu utters in his trembling voice as his eyes roll out in disbelief, "Aaaa... Dad, Wha-What are you doing..."

Nexyra's body is left loose like a ragdoll as his shining black eyes roll back and his jaw drops. Some kind of black viscous fluid starts pouring out of Nexyra's eyes and mouth like a waterfall uncontrollably.

The liquid continues to flow, covering the whole vicinity and surrounding everyone.

Damura grunts, weirded out by the substance "Ewww! what the heck is this".

Veguro screams as the liquid gets near him, "Get this thing off me man!"

While the others are freaking out and panicking about what's going on, Suiryuu just stands there and joins his hands, "What did we all do to deserve this..." he chants softly to himself, completely hopeless.

The dark substance forms a sphere around the whole residence, also covering the wreckage of their house.

Everything switches to black, everyone's vision turns black unable to see anything. From outside, the sphere slowly starts to float in in the air and implodes, disappearing like nothing ever was there.

And the next moment they open their eyes.

Huge stars, shimmering Galaxies and the beautiful nebulas filling out the spaces of the deep space, the shine captivates their eyes.

"This... is this heaven??" Damura speaks as he looks up in the space.

"How exactly are we breathing here?" Veguro questions Suiryuu while his eyes too, scan the beauty of space.

All of them stand on a huge asteroid, debris floating here and there.

But... The elegance of the sky doesn't last long, as soon.... something grabs all of their attention. A faint blue twinkle from an asteroid afar, A gargantuan creature... hiding behind the huge asteroid, motionless. Its stare pierces through their very soul, unable to move even a finger.

The monster slowly goes back behind the rock. An obscure rustling sound fills the surroundings, and then a dead silence.

Shimura glances behind and slowly turns around. The colossal creature was already standing there, suffocating quiet. Its growl like rusted iron, crackled, The others didn't even dare to turn around.

His goliath body as big as a mountain, motionless, soundless, expressionless stares at them, making the previous one look nothing more than an ant.

It had 16 eyes glowing sapphire, 4 massive pincers bigger than its own head.

Its legs felt surreal, bigger than anything on earth. Its structure radiated ancient power, enough that the very space around it tightened from fear, crushing it with just presence. Irregular spikes grown all over its body just made them feel even more puny.

"Never could I ever.... even dream, That we will cross paths once again... Yet here we are, again..... Our fates... Are much twisted than anticipated, aren't that....

Tsugaraki.... Sama" Its deep voice echoes in space.

Shimura spreads his arms and bows a bit while looking up at Nexyra, he speaks in a sarcastic and dramatic way with a faint smile. "Ooohh~ Noble Nexyra, we tiny objects are honored to get as such an opportunity to see you".

He bows a bit deeper and lays down his head, "All we seek is guidance from the Great Seer of time...."

His blissful face soon turns pale, and dark. His hands slide back to his pocket as he stands upright back to his calm yet badass form, he continues, his tone switches to a calm threat "So I hope you know what I am here for".

He softly stretches his arms "Or you could help me loosen up my joints a bit, its been suchhh a long time"

Nexyra's expression hardens, he slowly crawls his way infront of everyone else. Suiryuu, Veguro and Damura haven't moved an inch. His massive frame didn't make a single sound, yet their heart rumbled with fear.

Both the monsters, Nexyra and Shimura stare each other down, tension builds up in everyone. They can't think straight.

Suiryuu sweats up and drops a drop. Nexyra swings his leg towards him at unimaginable speed, able to sweep off the whole asteroid, and the kids with it.

But before it could land Shimura blasts a shovel hook straight to Nexyra's face, sending him flying up in space like a missile. Colliding through multiple asteroids as big as himself.

The punch sends ripples in space shaking everything nearby, literally everything.

All of them can't believe their eyes. Slowly but steadily, its not Nexyra that scares them, But Shimura, that makes them tremble in awe.

Shimura grins, his eyes filled with happiness. He slowly lowers his body and jumps straight towards Nexyra.

Nexyra crashes on a dusty brown planet completely made of rocks and sand. His crash makes a huge crater.

"Mom..... What on eart.... no, what on the face of Universe... is that Man". Suiryuu utters to his mother while looking up at the unearthly display of power by his Father.

He just wondering... what the heck is going, why and how is all of this happening.

The other two also just gaze at the monstrosity of Shimura.

Chihiro too just continues to admire Shimura, smiling happily. "Your Dad... He's just built different"

Shimura lands on the planet almost instantly, further away from Nexyra. The impact of his landing displaces the whole planet from its centre. He dusts of his clothes with a care for what could Nexyra do ahead. He looks towards Nexyra and grins.

Without wasting any time the monster stands up and dashes straight towards Shimura, even though his mountainous structure, it moves at sonic speed. 

But mid-way before it could reach Shimura, he lowers his stance and transits right infront him and hits Nexyra's jaw with a light jab at super speed. Sending him to unconsciousness on-the-spot.

Nexyra's head bobbles from the punch, his body slowly fall to the ground.

But he snaps back to his senses. Before it could think of anything and come up with a counter, Shimura vanishes and reappears right behind Nexyra. He grabs him from behind burying his fingers inside of Nexyra's steel skin for a better grip.

He slowly lifts Nexyra, holding him upright, and in an instant he slams him to the ground with a solid Russian Suplex. The crash destroys the whole planet into a mess of massive boulders.

Nexyra spits blood, but this much is still not enough to stop him.

He shakes of the pain and quickly starts weaving his web, shooting it all over the debris, covering the entire planet's area.

Shimura floats between all of this nuisance, standing in space, hands folded and tapping his foot, waiting for Nexyra's next move. 

Nexyra pulls the strings, sending asteroids, meteors flying at him randomly.

Yet still he dodges all of them effortlessly. Evading every single on of them. Nexyra pulls a last projectile, biggest of them all.

But Shimura turns it into dust with just a light tap of his karate chop. 

This isn't the last attacks. Nexyra pulls upon even more strings, all retracted at once.

Sealing off Shimura inside a sphere made my his debris.

Nexyra's pincers start to reverberate, he slowly opens his mouth. The spikes on his body start to glow light blue, his eyes shine like a sea of diamonds, and a small ball of energy forms infront of him, electricity overflowing from it.

Nexyra's eyes roll back and the ball shoots out a huge beam towards the centre of the the sphere formation right at Shimura. Breaking right through it.

The whole sphere heats up, the glow of it melting from inside can be seen from outside through the cracks. The whole thing blasts off like a mini-super nova.
