"...I can see that, but, who are you?" Mary asked Boreal, "Don't be a fool though, you too won't be able to win!"

[Rand al'Thor]

"I appreciate your concern, young one," Boreal said. "But I can take after myself. I defeated the evil lurking within him once before. I can only try once more. Now, please, leave, he is on his way."

[Notaka]

"...If you say so." Mary said as she sensed his determination to stay behind and try to deal with Meander. "Best of luck to you." With that, Mary would once again form a portal and headed for the closest large power levels she could sense, planet Earth.

[oooo]

The clansmen of Geyser were evacuated, along with the denizens the Black Tower for they all knew what was coming to the world. Somewhat ironically they would forget about Grimm, leaving the writhing lunatic deep within the bowels of the tower where he couldn't defend himself, nor escape from what was coming. Perhaps the destruction of the Aes Sedai's solar system and the full might of Meander, visible in its enormity from one side of the universe to the next was great enough that it spurred them into action.

And what of Meander? Who had been the son of an emperor once, then a cast out, a politician and then the M'Hael of an order he founded. He floated within the empty void, where once many solar systems existed but all had been swept away by his violent anger and rage. The clansman, now turned destroyer was surrounded by an aura of Ki so large and so great that it was brighter and larger than any star within the sky. "I will go to Geyser..." Meander whispered to himself deep within the fiery heart of his own star, "I will end it all and then I will claim my birthright in the place where there are no stars." 

Boreal from his position would see a single star in the sky grow larger and larger, it was Meander, the clansman was coming for him. Geyser's star was swallowed up by Meander's sun, the planets in the system were thrown asunder as their orbits were ruined and they fled into deep space. Like stray dogs fleeing from some great beast. That was not to be Geyser's fate however, for a great force gripped it with such tremendous pressure that the planet slightly elongated. The seas of Geyser evaporated almost instantly, the atmosphere was burned away and the surface of the planet was bleached by an intense heat that killed all life on it instantly. However, despite this Grimm was safe in the prisons of the Black Tower, for many a powerful spell had been cast on the place which protected it from the greatest forces in the universe. It had been Meander's idea. 

Meander exited his sun, he was a pinprick of shadow compared to the blinding light but there was no doubt he was the source of all this destruction. Meander landed on this world of ash and moved his eyes to Boreal. "So you only you stand before me?" He asked in a voice that sounded not really there. "Do you wish to shame me some more for my great achievements?"

[Rand al'Thor]

"Your great achievements?" Boreal asked. "Oh young one, I can sense this new power of yours is hardly even your own. Lurking within you . . . it seems you have finally come into contact with Fridge."

"Kill him! Kill him!" Fridge yelled in Meander's mind. "Make him suffer for what he did to me!"

[oooo]

"It doesn't matter where this power came, having it is enough. I have crushed the Aes Sedai, ground their order into dust and eradicated all trace of them from the universe." Meander said, his voice was filled with rage. "I no longer have anything to learn from you, once I was your student but now I am your master."

[Rand al'Thor]

"Ha, how cocky you have become," Boreal said. "A true shame. Well, young one. I will do all that I can to put a stop to your terror! All of my life energy will support me for one final battle! Haaa!!!" The universe shook as Boreal powered to the max. The old clansmen burst off, throwing a hook for Meander's cheek.

[oooo]

Meander would be struck by Boreal's blow, he would be pushed back. The ground beneath Meander ruptured and a wave of magma surged out to try and swallow Boreal up.

[Rand al'Thor]

Boreal would shield himself with a large burst of water, wiping the magma away. He'd then thrust his palms forward, firing a large ki wave from both hands.

. . .

"Mary, you're here too?" Dimitri asked. "What happened to you?"

[Notaka]

"D-Dimitri?" Mary looked at Dimitri in disbelief, "It's awful...There's a guy running around, he came to the White Tower...and crushed it with ease! I tried to fight him off, but he was too strong..I think he was heading for the planet I landed in before I came here. I had to leave it because a man, of the same race, told me to do so...Darn it, Things have taken a turn for the ugly."

[oooo]

Meander would throw out both of his hands and slowly be pushed back by the ki blast, he was yelling out loud. The ground beneath Boreal would begin to warp as Meander began to twist the surrounding area. A massive volcanic eruption would start underneath the two.

[Rand al'Thor]

"Is this what you wanted?!" Boreal asked as he evaded the bursts of lava. "To see your home planet torn to shreds?!"

. . .

"Meander," Dimitri said. "I can't believe all that's been happening and so fast."

"Indeed," Ladon said, approaching them. "I don't think it's the madness either. I've seen many men gone mad, this is completely different."

"Oh no," Dimitri gasped. "We left Grimm on Geyser!"

"Crap," Felix said. "The moron had to go and let himself lose his mind . . . and it feels like Meander's fight is on Geyser this moment. The planet is likely being torn apart from these powers."

"Can't help it then," Ladon said. "We have to save him. On top of this, I have finally discovered a way to cleanse the male half of enhanced spirit ki. However, it will cause a huge destruction. I've picked the perfect place for this." His eyes then led to Mary "I need your help."

"I thought I was going to," Edelgard said.

"Yes, but Dimitri and Felix don't have any teleporting abilities. You'll travel to Geyser with them. Ekrev is still down for the count due to his mental stability."

[Notaka]

"Grimm...Yeah, we can't allow an innocent life to be lost," Mary said, "I will help you as best as I can. If you want me to open a portal to Geyser, I can do it easily. Tell me where Grimm is being held, and I'll take us all to him asap."

[oooo]

"I was never born here." Meander said in a voice that dripped with carelessness, "If it breaks it breaks, the master of the universe doesn't have to care about what happens to one rock." He'd throw his hands up and the sun would begin to grow in intensity before firing a massive laser down on Boreal.

[Rand al'Thor]

The beam flew past, cutting his cheek. Boreal then ran forward with a barrage of kicks.

. . .

"Like I already said," Ladon said. "You're with me, Mary. The others will take care of Grimm. Now then, we'll need to be quick. We'll head to Shadar Logath."

"Didn't you say that's where the Forsaken held base?" Felix asked. "You'll need help."

"I alone can retrieve Grimm," Edelgard said.

"Fine then," Ladon said. "Let's go." He then created a portal and would step in. The others would follow.

. . .

Edelgard then teleported to Geyser and appeared in front of Grimm's cell.

"Grimm, how are you feeling?" Edelgard asked.
