The Immortal Brigadier General
|
Soul Reaver feels as if all the warmth were draining from his weary, exhausted limbs as he fires the beam of crimson energy. The brigh light forces him to squint his eyes almost shut.
Before the companions, Blackrend is about to complete the Unmaking, brining his hands slowly together, trailing wisps of anti-reality behind his hands like tendrils of shimmering hot air.
Beside Soul Reaver, his companions all unleash their own assaults, throwing all their might into defeating Blackrend before he can extinguish their existences forever.
Soul Reaver's beam lances forward, and suddenly it seems to grow slightly. Soul Reaver now has his eyes tightly shut in effort, icy sweat running in rivulets down his face. A strange shimmer flickers around the beam.
And as one, all the other assaults of the companions gently curve in mid-air, drawing towards Soul Reaver's beam.
The beams from Asaki's attack all swirl around Soul Reaver's single crimson blast as a dazzling spiral before plunging into its midst...
Kitharsis' blast of energy similarly whirls to the side, merging into Soul Reaver's blast with a sizzle...
Jharm's Armageddon Sphere flies alongside the beam until it too enters it. A loud whoosh is heard as the sphere adds a strange bluish glow to the front of the beam...
Tamrissa's deadly blade slices the air as it spins into the midst of the beam, trailing blackness in the light of the beam, almost obscured by the redness even as it adds its own dark radiance to it...
Yue's crackling javeling screams loudly as it flies through the air, sliding into the beam, adding a burning red core to it's already blazing form...
Matthias' and Damien's attack seems to shrink and concentrate into a crackling, scythe-like slash of intense light... it slows slightly in mid-air from the pull of the beam, but as the beam touches it, it blasts forward with its full fury... a glowing, sharp crescent at the peak of the beam...
Kanshisha's Ryuu no Omnigen also willingly enters the pull of the beam, diving into its midst with a roar. The creature seems to shrink somewhat, but it blazes all the brighter, sending out a roar power as it streamlines itself for the impact...
Like molten gold, Keseno's volleys of energy waves spin and join with the beam, sparkling beautifully as they add to its power...
Tukedo's energy cannon blast swirls around the beam for a moment before disappearing into it, bringing the strength of the living machine with it...
Needles of silvery light swarm into the beam from Sera's bow, the arrows lining up within it into a single column of piercing steel...
And the Vampire's shadowy storm twists in mid-air, collapsing into a hugely concentrated, spinning hose of blackness. The dark helix spins around the outside of the beam accompanying it to its destination...
The companions' assaults all join together as one almost at the same time. The once crimson beam shimmers with the powers of the companions, a sleek, whirling bolt of righteous justice, melding all the powers into one. The sonic boom from their joining visibly blasts outwards from the beam, flattening everything nearby. As the assaults join into one, the beam screams forward at an incredible speed.
Blackrend's hands join together, and a sphere of the power of his Unmaking manifests itself in his hands...
The unified beam blasts against Blackrend's barrier, and punches through it as if it were not there, scattering it into motes of darkness.
Blackrend's crimson eyes open wide - nothing but pure hatred burn within their endless depths, even as the light of the companions' vengeance shimmers upon them.
The beam strikes Blackrend straight in the chest, like a bolt hurled by the Gods. The roar from the strike is incomparable, reverberating through every cell in the companions' body, and the light from the blast hurts to look upon.
Blackrend's flesh and skin rip from him from the blast, even as the beam machetties its way right into the core of his black, corrupt soul.
The Warp Lord's agony is indescribable, and his control over the Unmaking is torn from his mind. His own energies turn against him, running through his body like ice, alongside the fire of the companions' fury.
Veins of light consume Blackrend's body, and with a sudden, final roar of hatred, the Warp Lord's vile existence is extinguished.
Silently, small motes of light drift to the ground above where Blackrend once stood.
His evil has finally met its end.
