| "I've been looking for you, brat! Guess who's back!" | |
| Kuroshi had returned to London, and his first task he wanted to | |
| get done was fighting Kendrix again after the humiliating loss | |
| he suffered at Kendrix and Future Donny's hands. | |
| Kendrix chuckles to himself and smiles under his scarf. | |
| Kendrix: You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to | |
| show our face again. I've been keeping some of my new abilities | |
| secret just so you wouldn't find out about them before our next | |
| showdown. He says, almost gleeful that Kuroshi was back. | |
| Kuroshi glares at Kendrix. Kuroshi: This won't be like last | |
| time, brat. Now that I know you have vampire ninja skills, you | |
| won't hit me with those attacks this time. And this time, your | |
| little death wraith friend isn't here help you. He then smiles. | |
| And this time, I'm not gonna play around. | |
| Kendrix: We'll see. I will hit you with whatever attacks I want. | |
| Kuroshi: Don't think you're the only one that's gotten stronger, | |
| kid! He says as he gets ready to start their fight. | |
| Kendrix: You have no idea what you're in for. He says with a | |
| laugh to himself, his pride having gotten to the point where | |
| he'd become almost overconfident. | |
| Kuroshi was still in anger mode after what happened at Phantom's | |
| bar, and wasn't doing his usual banter with Kendrix. Kuroshi was | |
| here for the kill, and Kendrix knew it. Hell, they both knew | |
| that the other was out for blood (Or what constitutes as blood | |
| in Kuroshi's case). | |
| The two start out using their own martial arts stepping methods, | |
| attacking each other using martial arts rather than firing | |
| supernatural energy at each other. Despite the fact they were | |
| trying to strike fatal blows on each other, Kendrix and Kuroshi | |
| were just warming up as they fight each other. | |
| Kuroshi switches up his attacks, and decides to go with the | |
| Satsui no Hado. He does a Shoryuken uppercut, with whispering | |
| darkness radiating from his technique. | |
| Kendrix uses his own martial arts training, and protects himself | |
| from the whispering darkness with his own purifying darkness. He | |
| was using death wraith power to utilize purifying darkness, a | |
| skill from his training with death wraiths like Kierran. | |
| Kendrix's own variation of the death wraith's purifying darkness | |
| was being used like a barrier. This darkness was using purifying | |
| power of angelic presences and combining it with Kendrix's dark | |
| energy. | |
| Kuroshi scoffs a bit. Kuroshi: Darn... You have gotten stronger | |
| with those death wraith abilities. Your purifying darkness isn't | |
| that bad. He smiles. Then let's change it up. He says as he | |
| starts charging up crimson energy, bringing his hands together | |
| as he focuses. He goes into a crimson mode, where he combines | |
| his Satsui no Hado with his crimson energy. | |
| Kendrix just smiles. Kendrix: Hey, you figured that one out. I | |
| was never able to use combine those powers effectively. He says | |
| sarcastically. | |
| Kuroshi chuckles to himself. So. How are you going to counter | |
| this one? | |
| Kendrix just smiles. Kendrix: I suppose I'm just going to have | |
| to rely on my own martial arts skills. He calms himself and | |
| breathes deeply for a moment before he focuses his golden | |
| lightning, distorting the area around him. He gets into a combat | |
| stance. Kendrix: Leiji Style... The Lightning Strike style... | |
| With my own spin of course... I have different Leiji styles for | |
| my different lightning skills. This one is going to really throw | |
| you for a loop. He says with a smile. | |
| Kuroshi scoffs and attacks, but Kendrix ducks his attacks. As | |
| Kendrix gets looks like he's too far away to strike, he strikes | |
| multiple pressure points with his Leiji style, amping his speed | |
| and power with the gold lightning to strike multiple times. The | |
| attacks look like Kendrix stretches his arms to strike, so even | |
| Kuroshi was confused before he realized what was happening. | |
| Kuroshi coughs up blood as his pressure points are hit hard with | |
| the golden lightning. | |
| Kuroshi: You use the golden distortion lightning to affect | |
| space-time. You shortened the distance to throw me off, and | |
| slowed time to strike faster and harder than you should have. He | |
| says, analyzing the technique. | |
| Kendrix smiles. Kendrix: Be thankful you don't have bones to | |
| break... Or I'd have broken all your bones by now with my Kenpo | |
| teacher's style. He says with a smile, remembering his training | |
| with Lily Shiraishi in his timeline. | |
| Kuroshi: You won't hit me again... I'm re- He stops as Kendrix | |
| was suddenly in front of him, and struck him in the stomach with | |
| a blast of golden lightning. Kuroshi was knocked back, flying | |
| back into a wall. He hits the wall hard, and falls to the | |
| ground, coughing. He tries to get up, but has trouble | |
| reorienting himself. | |
| Kendrix chuckles. Kendrix: Hope you're not done already. He says | |
| with a smile as he points his finger at Kuroshi. Come on... Get | |
| up! You're not that weak. He says, his tone turning dark as his | |
| smile disappears. | |
| Kuroshi tries to get back to his feet, now angrier than before. | |
| He looks to Kendrix with venom in his eyes. | |
| Kuroshi: Don't get cocky brat. This is far from over... I still | |
| have my trum- He was cut off by a magic blast from angelic magic | |
| using holy lightning. Kuroshi was so off guard that he couldn't | |
| even react to the 6 more shots Kendrix fired at him, blasting | |
| pieces of Kuroshi's body off with the magic power. | |
| Kendrix just glares at Kuroshi. Kendrix: Get up. I'm not done | |
| with you yet. He says darkly. | |
| Kuroshi: That was magic. That's impossible! How could you have | |
| Celestian power AND magic?! It makes no sense! He says angrily. | |
| Kendrix just looks at Kuroshi, firing more small angelic | |
| lightning magic blasts, blasting off pieces of Kuroshi's body. | |
| Kendrix: I'm not allowed to talk about this one. But I'm going | |
| to enjoy watching you try to figure it out. He says coldly as he | |
| continues to blast Kuroshi's body. Kendrix had promised not to | |
| tell anyone about how Kendrix had volunteered as a test subject | |
| for Kindron's experiment to give someone magic through Lunarian | |
| means of a substance known as SomaDrops, since Kindron wanted to | |
| keep it secret so that others wouldn't try to replicate it or | |
| try to abuse it. | |
| However, Kuroshi's shock wears off as he screams in anger, | |
| blasting red crimson energy in front of him to block the magic | |
| attacks. | |
| Kuroshi gets up with even more venom in his eyes as he | |
| regenerates the damage done to his body. His crimson energy | |
| glows as Kuroshi gets angrier. | |
| Kuroshi: That's it... You've done it, now brat. No more playing | |
| around. I'm going to show you why I'm better than you. He says | |
| as his power starts to flare. I know one thing you cannot do... | |
| Your crimson energy. You can't use your red lantern power | |
| because you lose control. But I won't. I use my hatred and I | |
| embrace it! He says as he screams and powers up. | |
| His voice gets low as he gets ready, glowing red. | |
| Kuroshi: With darkness and energy of crimson red... Your body | |
| may soon be dead... But your soul will be consumed by my hate... | |
| When I take your soul and seal your fate! He says, reciting his | |
| red lantern energy oath that was unique to him. | |
| Kendrix stands there and watches, unable to hide his interest in | |
| Kuroshi's power-up. | |
| He chuckles as his red lantern power. I can now use this power | |
| fully. And you canno... Wait. Why aren't you affected by my | |
| power? You should at least be glowing red with my red lantern | |
| power active... He says, noticing that Kendrix wasn't glowing | |
| with crimson energy. Since Kendrix's crimson energy was normally | |
| affected by the red lantern energy, it should have been | |
| glowing,but wasn't even reacting. | |
| Kendrix chuckles. | |
| Kendrix: It used to. But that was when I had red lantern energy. | |
| I don't have that anymore. | |
| Kuroshi: You can't remove that power without killing the host. | |
| That's like taking an engine out of a car. It is dead without | |
| it. And your crimson energy depends on that power. You were born | |
| with it. Your power should be crippled at the very least! He | |
| says to Kendrix, not understanding how Kendrix could still be | |
| alive if his red lantern power was removed. | |
| Kendrix: It would be. Let's just say, I had it removed at the | |
| same time I put a new power in its place. It's like changing the | |
| engine of a car without turning the car off. Remove it at the | |
| same moment you put the new engine in before the car dies. It's | |
| a tight window, but it's doable. | |
| Kuroshi: So you replaced it with a different power? He asks, | |
| annoyed. | |
| Kendrix: Yeah. I studied my power, and the power of that Exiles | |
| version of me. I came to realize something. I wondered why his | |
| unique energy was gold and mine was red. We may be different, | |
| but he and I are still similar enough that I felt like there was | |
| something different about him that I didn't understand. I felt | |
| like I was missing something. And then it hit me... It's because | |
| the red lantern energy that makes my crimson energy so potent | |
| isn't a natural power to me. I can convert my emotions to anger, | |
| but anger isn't a natural state for me like it is to my father. | |
| That's why I could never control my crimson energy when it goes | |
| into the red lantern state. Red just isn't my color. | |
| Kuroshi: He's an alternate universe version of you, and a | |
| Celestian, right? So why would his power make any difference to | |
| you? You're two different people as far as the multiverse is | |
| concerned. | |
| Kendrix: Well, that's the question. Our powers are very | |
| different, but he and I are the same at our core. Both unique | |
| for what we are. Thanks to understanding what made his golden | |
| energy what it is, I figured out how to bring out my true | |
| potential. My potential was never in the crimson energy. Kendrix | |
| forms what should have been crimson energy, but was now a golden | |
| yellow mix of demon energy, angel energy and yellow lantern | |
| energy (instead of red lantern energy), into a ball of energy as | |
| though showing it off. | |
| Kuroshi stands silent, wondering what Kendrix was going to do | |
| next. | |
| Kendrix then starts to glow yellow, and floats off the ground. | |
| Kendrix: It doesn't matter, day or night... Evil will be seen in | |
| shadow's sight... Let those who try to deny my might... Burn | |
| with my power, the power of fear's light! He says, using his | |
| yellow lantern oath to ignite his yellow lantern energy. As he | |
| does, the red on his outfit turns yellow, with his shirt, scarf | |
| and the red clouds turning yellow on his outfit. Even his hair | |
| and eyes turn yellow, as he glows with the yellow lantern | |
| energy. | |
| Kuroshi stands shocked, but not backing away. Kuroshi: So. You | |
| found a way to replace your red lantern energy with yellow | |
| lantern power? That doesn't seem possible, but you always find a | |
| way to do something unexpected. | |
| Kendrix: Yeah... With enemies bringing out their stupid light | |
| abilities, I decided it was time for me to have some BS light | |
| abilities of my own. He says with a smile. | |
| Kuroshi summons the blood from his body, using the red lantern | |
| blood manipulation. Kuroshi: Let's see how powerful your energy | |
| is! | |
| The two fly at each other, using their lantern energies to | |
| counter each other. Kuroshi tries to use his blood as a shield, | |
| while Kendrix starts firing beams of yellow light using his | |
| yellow lantern energy. However, from behind him, Kuroshi is | |
| grabbed by a yellow lantern energy construct, which looked like | |
| Phantom. As Kuroshi sees the construct and looks into the fake | |
| Phantom's eyes, he winces a bit. A second Phantom construct | |
| appears to his other side and grabs him, momentarily paralyzing | |
| Kuroshi in fear. | |
| Kendrix: Your fear was easy to read. You fear Phantom. I don't | |
| what he did to you after the bar incident, but I couldn't read | |
| you nearly this easily before. He says to Kuroshi. | |
| Kuroshi blasts the fake Phantoms and then turns to Kendrix. | |
| Kuroshi: You would fear him too if you knew how monstrous he | |
| really was under that charming personality he puts on. Even | |
| beings of no fear can be made to fear the things of the Shadow | |
| Realm! He says as he tries to fire red energy blasts at Kendrix, | |
| using the crimson energy amplified by the red lantern power. | |
| Kendrix: Then I guess I have to work harder to make you fear me. | |
| He says jokingly as he takes off his jacket and throws it to the | |
| side. It lands on the floor and sinks into the floor due to its | |
| weight. | |
| Kendrix: Crimson Spirit. He says as he unleashes his Fullbring | |
| hollow power. His scarf turns back into a crimson red form and | |
| unwraps itself from his neck and then wraps around both his arms | |
| and two of his fingers as he holds his hands up to fire blasts | |
| of energy. | |
| Kendrix starts firing blasts of crimson energy at Kuroshi, who | |
| tries to block them with his red lantern power. However, the | |
| crimson blasts seem to destroy the energy, making holes in | |
| Kuroshi's defense. One blast even blasts right through Kuroshi's | |
| shoulder, causing Kuroshi to have to dodge. | |
| Kuroshi: Blast it! That energy is spirit destruction power! He | |
| says as he dodges. He gets an idea and teleports using his | |
| whispering darkness. He appears behind Kendrix and summons his | |
| scythe, trying to cut through Kendrix's shoulder. However, the | |
| moment that the scythe comes into contact with the scarf behind | |
| Kendrix's neck, the scarf destroys the part of the scythe it | |
| touches. | |
| Kuroshi's scythe is split in half by the destruction of the | |
| piece of the staff part of the scythe, causing the disconnected | |
| part to fall to the ground, while Kuroshi jumps back, holding | |
| the other half. He spins it, holding the other scythe blade | |
| (since it was a double edged scythe) to attack since he only had | |
| half the scythe. Kuroshi: Not just spirit destruction, but | |
| matter destruction too?! He says to himself. | |
| Kendrix turns and faces Kuroshi. Kendrix then forms two blades | |
| of crimson energy from his hands. He then moves and slashes | |
| Kuroshi, who tries to summon all the energy he could to block. | |
| Kuroshi is unsuccessful though, and he barely manages to avoid | |
| being cut in half. He jumps away, and tries to reorient himself. | |
| However, his body wasn't regenerating the spirit destruction | |
| easily, and Kuroshi knew he couldn't stand much more. | |
| Kuroshi: It's not possible! How can the boy have improved this | |
| much?! Magic. The power of the yellow lanterns. And that spirit | |
| destruction hollow power... What else does he have now that I | |
| don't?! He says to himself angrily. | |
| Kendrix smiles as he walks up to Kuroshi, as smug as can be. | |
| Kendrix: Skill. He says in response to Kuroshi's question about | |
| what he has now. | |
| Kuroshi grinds his teeth. Kuroshi: This isn't over, brat! I will | |
| find a way to beat you! He says as he teleports away in a burst | |
| of whispering darkness. | |
| Kendrix deactivates his Fullbring and finds his jacket, putting | |
| it back on, and returning to normal as he deactivates his yellow | |
| lantern power as he readjusts his scarf around his neck. | |
| Kendrix: And he's gone. Oh well. He says with a shrug. | |
| Later, Kendrix visits Kindron at the Darkfire-Tolodora | |
| Technologies building, and jumps up to hug Kindron. | |
| Kendrix: Those SomaDrops you gave me worked awesomely. My magic | |
| kicks so much a*s. You are now my favorite uncle. He says | |
| jokingly. | |
| Kindron chuckles as he hugs Kendrix back. Kindron: Pretty sure | |
| I'm your only uncle, kiddo. He says in thought, not really | |
| knowing about Alice's half-brother, Damien (another child of | |
| Lucifer) or thinking much about Alice's side of the family at | |
| all. | |
| Kendrix: Either way... I have you to thank for that. | |
| Kindron: Hey. You said yes to being a test subject for it. I'd | |
| thank you, but I feel like we both got enough benefit out of the | |
| deal. You got magic, and I got to make sure there are no side | |
| effects to Celestian Time Lord DNA. He says jokingly. | |
| Elsewhere in London. | |
| In the dark depths of one of Nightshade's hideouts, Kuroshi | |
| stumbles around in the dark. He goes to an office and sits in | |
| the chair, bleeding his dark spirit energy all over like blood | |
| as he tries to regenerate the spirit destruction damage. | |
| Kuroshi: Dammit... Where did I go wrong? I'm supposed to be | |
| better than that brat. I developed his power further with my | |
| skills. How could he suddenly have gotten so much stronger than | |
| me? He says to himself. | |
| From the shadows, a voice could be heard as a man appears behind | |
| him. Man: Pathetic. You were so strong, and now you're so weak. | |
| He says to Kuroshi. | |
| Kuroshi turns and tries to get up, but is held down by his | |
| shoulder by the man. Kuroshi: What is this?! Who are you?! | |
| The man leans closer, revealing himself to be alternate Kierran. | |
| Alternate Kierran: You haven't heard? I'm running a new | |
| organization alongside Nightshade and the Witches. Right now, | |
| call it "86." | |
| Kuroshi tilts his head. Kuroshi: What kind of a name is that for | |
| an organization? | |
| Alternate Kierran: It's a code-name, moron. He says | |
| sarcastically. A name to call back to the Kierran of this world, | |
| one who's team was listed as Team 86 in the death wraith | |
| registry. I'm doing it destabilize the heroes so they don't know | |
| who to trust. They don't know I'm here yet, and this will have | |
| Anna Shadow and Kierran Black searching for someone connected to | |
| their old team as the mysterious new villain in town. Not only | |
| that, but they also won't find any information on us because 86 | |
| is just a number which will be difficult to determine who is | |
| talking about our organization and who is just talking about a | |
| number. No one knows my organization's true location, name or | |
| even... No, you're right. Why would you know any of that if I'm | |
| keeping it so secret? He says, realizing there was a reason | |
| Kuroshi was in the dark (no pun intended). | |
| Kuroshi: What do you want from me? He says, glaring at Alternate | |
| Kierran. | |
| Alternate Kierran: I'm your boss, and your fallen angel friend's | |
| boss now. You work for me now by Phantom and Malice's orders. | |
| And it's my responsibility to make sure you don't embarrass us | |
| with your weakness. So I'm going to give you a little boost to | |
| help you fight that kid in the future that kicked your a*s. He | |
| holds up his Hogyoku, and blasts Kuroshi with hollow energy. | |
| Kuroshi screams as the hollow power bonds to him, causing | |
| immense pain to his body. Alternate Kierran continues blasting | |
| Kuroshi with hollow energy to bond to him, almost seeming to | |
| enjoy the pain Kuroshi was in. | |
| End. | |
