DBNV 3: This is really the end

[Notaka]

The Omnipresent Knight remained quiet as he heard Yokai's question. "LONG AGO." He finally spoke, his voice once again booming from everywhere and yet nowhere. "WHEN YGGDRASIL WAS STILL A SAPLING. ALL THAT WAS BELONGED TO ME. NO ONE DARED STAND IN MY WAY, NOT EVEN THE DESTROYERS OF OLD...SAVE ONE. THE MOST TERRIBLE OF THEM." The knight explained and as he did so, the space around the trio began to warp and suddenly they'd find themselves in a desertic land, scorched and devoid of any life.

Yet in this harsh, seemingly unliveable climate stood two towering beings standing against each other eye-to-eye, helmets covered their head but the trio could tell behind said helmets, hiding, were piercing glares.

"THAT IS ME." The knight pointed at one of the two warriors. "AND THAT ONE, MY ETERNAL AND GREATEST RIVAL." He replied. "WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO WITNESS WAS OUR FINAL SHOWDOWN. THE VERY LAST TIME OUR BLADES CROSSED EACH OTHER." And with that, with blazing speeds the two soldiers clashed swords and a very bright light emanated, Yokai and the others would feel a power they had never felt before- bottomless would be the most suited word to describe it. With that, they had returned to outer space, once again before the mighty knight-shaped being.

"I WILL OFFER YOU POWER BEYOND YOUR WILDEST IMAGINATION...DESIRES BECOME ACTIONS, BUT ONLY IF ONE HAS THE STRENGTH TO DO AS HE WISHES. PERHAPS, YOU WILL KNOW WHAT I WISH TO EXPLAIN WITH A TASTE." With that, this being raised his arm over the trio and they would find themselves empowered. As if they could do everything they pleased, and that no one would possibly dream of getting in their way.

"Mm-hmm. Perhaps more time is needed before we can become more accepting of each other." Axino told Tuvok in a sardonic tone, before he turned to the stranger. "It seems we will be in need of a translator, for these barbarians speak in a very backwater, primitive language, that is very ill-fitting for a figure such as I."

[oooo]

"We'll have to head to a Stranger owned world then, apparently a few green skins know their language." Tuvok remarked before the situation spiraled out of control.

In an instant the figure powered up to its max. Its power grew to a fearful level and a magma colored aura surrounded it, like that of raging fire, however there was no intent to fight, for it was clear that the power leaped past the fighters limits. He was planning on to overload himself and literally blow himself up! Hopefully taking out the other two fighters. "Nos vemos en casa para infinitos perdedores, inferiores!" The strange being cried out.

[Rand al'Thor]

Yokai chuckled again.

"Very well," he said. "I accept your challenge. I'll gladly sell soul, body, and mind to achieve what I desire. For no one else is willing. Let us begin this test."

[Notaka]

Axino looked at the figure and sighed. "What an absolutely dimwitted specimen. I have no need for an uncooperative dog such as yourself." With it, Axino raised his hand towards the figure, an orange aura shrouding the clansman. Unless the figure was powerful enough, he'd feel something swelling inside of his head.

Axino would be expanding his brain and if nothing was done- The neo-saiyan's head would explode into hundreds of gory bits and brain matter.

"THEN IT IS SETTLED. YOU...SHALL HOLD MY POWER." The knight pointed at Yokai. "YOUR FIRST TASK WILL BE TO SLAUGHTER THAT MAN." He stated as in front of the trio, Michinobu appeared. "THAT MAN CASTED HIS BACK ON ME. A SIN WHICH I WILL NOT FORGIVE. DO THIS AND IT WILL BE THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS GREATNESS."

[Rand al'Thor]

"Heh, is that all?" Yokai asked. "Very well."

[Notaka]

With a wave of his cosmic hand, the knight would send Yokai, Kaneki and Date back to Planet Sasa. The sword found itself held by Yokai's hand, perhaps he grabbed it without thinking.

"KILL." A voice whispered inside Yokai's mind. The knight's.

[Rand al'Thor]

Yokai stared down at the blade, watching as black smoke oozed and dripped off the blade like water. He sheathed the sword and flexed his hand.

"Now then, time to find Michinobu." He turned to Date and Kaneki. "I'll go alone. If something happens, it's better for only me to be involved." He then left the two of them, searching for Michinobu.

[Notaka]

Yokai would be met with resistance as he left. However, none of them posed a serious threat and the blade was quickly covered with blood of those he had slew. Eventually, he'd make his way to the door leading to Michinobu's gate. Guarding it, however, was Yoritake who had been expecting Yokai's arrival.

"You... I thought if anyone would do this, it would be Date. So you did see what was inside that room." He stated, looking at the sword Yokai was holding. "You don't know you're doing. Give me that sword immediately, and surrender, then I will give you a swift and painless execution."

[Rand al'Thor]

"I know exactly what I'm doing," Yokai said, raising the oozing blade. "This sword is incredibly dangerous . . . but you have no idea what I've done to come this far." Yokai zoomed through the air, swinging the blade down at Yoritake's chest.

[Notaka]

Yoritake's eyes widened, and instantly brought up his blade. Despite his decades of experience, he felt as a novice in this very moment- He could only barely parry Yokai's slash.

"Then I will make sure your death will be as painful as possible! DIE!" Yoritake replied, attempting to deflect Yokai's sword to the blade and if successful, swing his blade repeatedly to try and slash Yokai all over his body.

[Rand al'Thor]

Yokai's blade was deflected then he was slashed across his body and skidded away, smiling beneath his mask.

"You say you'll make my death as painful as possible?" he asked. "I have already felt and seen that life is far more painful than death. Or perhaps, I am already dead. This reality is rotten. This reality, is hell. There's nothing you can do that will make my experience in this wretched universe any worse."

Yokai dashed forward swinging his blade down for Yoritake's collar bone then back up in an arc for his throat.

[Notaka]

"W-What are you?!" Yoritake said with fear as Yokai made his move. He tried to block the attack but found that his collarbone was stabbed by Yokai. He then attempted to retaliate but he was far too slow as Yokai wasn't done- a massive scar left on the lord's chest as Yokai's blade pierced through his throat.

"C-Curse you!!" Yoritake said through bloodied teeth as he raised his sword and thrust it forwards, trying to pierce Yokai in the face through his mask.

[Rand al'Thor]

The blade struck Yokai's mask, causing part of it to crack and fall. Half of Yokai's face was revealed, showing a glowing eye. Blood trickled from his forehead where the blade stabbed him.

"Disappear!" Yokai yelled. His eye glowed brighter and a portal appeared over Yoritake's body. From it, fired a massive ki wave in an attempt to obliterate Yoritake.

[Notaka]

"!!" Yoritake went speechless after witnessing Yokai's glowing eye. Before a bright light grabbed his attention, it was a beam heading towards him. It was so powerful, Yoritake knew there was no way he could stop it.

Fortunately for him, however, a miracle happened- The beam would be cleaved in half with the two sides flying into opposite sides and exploding.

Standing on Yokai's half was Michinobu, the man had a serious look on his face. "You can let go of him now." The lord told Yokai, "You're after me...That sword thirsts for my blood. He has nothing to do with this anymore. This is between you and I...Yokai."

[Rand al'Thor]

Yokai waved a hand in front of his face, his mask restoring itself fully.

"Yes," Yokai said, raising the sword. "Now, will you sacrifice yourself for the greater good? Or will you resist?"
