Some ArchGods have no names intended yet.
Chapter 4: A Dangerous World
“Yes yes yes!
That suits you well!
An ant!
Ahah…” – shouts the voice, but his amusement does not last long, for the ant starts moving.
“What?
You still insist on defying me?
How peculiar...
You might have defeated others with that same technique before, but I am not like the others…
No, I really am not!” – shouts the voice as a giant foot appears from the sky, smashing the ant.
“Do you see it?
Do you see just how miserable you are to me?!” – shouts the voice
And so, the ant gets out of the giant boot, and continues his walking.
“Oh…
You really are one of a kind…
Very well then…” – shouts the voice
Suddenly, Gowan appears in front of the ant.
“Juno please.
Lets go home, both of us.
Let us forget this madness once and for all and just chill home.” – he says
“Joke.” – shouts the voice, as Gowan vanishes.
“I got you didn’t I?
Ahah!” – shouts the voice
The ant continues walking.
“Ah?
How come?...” – shouts the voice, surprised
“This is getting annoying.” – says Juno
“Anno…annoying?...” – whispers the voice, as everything comes back to normal.
Juno keeps walking towards the palace of the ArchGod of Darkness/lightness, completely ignoring the ArchGod of Imagination words.
“Do you, have, any idea, of who I am?” – shouts the voice
“I am THE ONE, THE ONLY, THE ARCHGOD OF IMAGINATION!!!” – it shouts
“My power…
My power is reality itself!
Anything I want, anything I wish for, shall and will, happen!” – shouts the voice
“Not really…” – interrupts Juno
“Uh?” – shouts the voice, confused
“If that were to be true, then you would’ve granted Garaam his wish.” – says Juno
“Oh…I see…
You think I care about the others?
About Garaam?
Heck.
Why not make me the supreme ruler instead?
What about that?!” – shouts the voice, furious
Everything starts shacking again.
“Whatever.” – says Juno
The shacking stopped.
“Wha—whatever?!
Am I a joke to you?!
Human?!” – shouts the voice
Juno stops walking, and sighs.
“Oh and now you sigh?!
Great.
You must really like to piss me off…” – shouts the voice
“I already told you, I have no interest on you, for now.” – says Juno
“What?!” – shouts the voice
“Besides, you are nothing more than just a simple talk.
Your power has nothing to do with reality…” – says Juno
“What?!!! How dare you…!
My power is reality itself!
I am…!” – shouts the voice
“Yeah yeah, the ArchGod of Imagination, I already got that.” – interrupts Juno
“But your power has no direct impact on reality, am I right?
You can make the imaginable happen, but that does not mean you make it exist.
Therefor…
You’re nothing more than illusions to me.” – says Juno, as he starts walking again.
“…
Illusions?...” – whispers the voice
Suddenly, a corpse appears in front of Juno, lying on the snow.
“Fine.
You won.
You are indeed right.
Those are indeed the rules of my power…
However, that does not mean shit when it comes to me!!!” – shouts the voice
Everything turns black, colorless, it was as the whole reality had disappeared all of a sudden.
“Tell me Human…
How about I make this your new beloved reality?!” – shouts the voice
“Void.
Quite fitting don’t you think so?
Because you got the power of Garaam…
Oh forget it.
I’ve grown bored of you and those jokes…
Just begone now.
Forever and ever, this shall be your reality.
Emptiness.
Emotionless.
Just nothing.
Just like you.
And you sh-…” – says the voice
But before she could finish her speech, a branch on the colorless space was made.
Juno was walking through it, suddenly, the whole vision of reality that was imposed by the ArchGod of Imagination collapsed, making everything go back to normal again.
“You…” – whispers the voice, as Juno approaches the gates of the palace of the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness.
“You are ignoring me?!
ME?!” – shouts the voice, infuriated
“I…I have never meet someone like you before!
I never thought that someone like you could exist!
You…you…you!!!
Is this how you intend to defeat me?!
Ignoring me?!
Waiting for me to give up and turn my back on you?!
Is that it, HUMAN?!!!” – shouts the voice
“Oh…I see you are already back, ArchGod of Imagination.” – says Kado, the ArchGod of Wisdom, smiling
The ArchGod of Imagination finds himself back to the prison, his “body” lying on the ground.
“I…
I…
Fuck.” – says the ArchGod of Imagination (thinking)
[ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness’ Palace]
The two ArchGods are enjoying the party, along with their subordinates.
“Wait wait!
You cannot go in there! You were not invited…!” – says a voice coming from the hall gate.
Suddenly, the gate opens, Juno walks upon it, with two subordinates trying to hold him back.
The music stops, everyone stops dancing and partying as they stare at the Human, who’s approaching the two ArchGods.
“Well…how curious…” – states the ArchGod of Empathy, confused
The ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness, however, is smiling.
“You must be the Human.
What an honor, must I say.” – says the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness, bowing to Juno.
“I am here to demanding you to go back to your prison.” – says Juno
“Well of course!
I just wanted to take some fresh air anyway!” – answers the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness
“Please, lead the way.” – he says
Juno opens a portal behind him.
“There.” – he says
“Splendid!” – says the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness as he walks through the portal with Juno
The ArchGod of Empathy stays still, with a heavy face.
“You know Human…
I never thought you were this naïve to be fair.” – says the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness as they arrive to his cell in the prison.
“Your cell.” – answers Juno
“I can see that.” – answers the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness
“Another one already?! Are you speed running now Juno?” – shouts the ArchGod of Wisdom, laughing
“Oh…please, allow me to help with it then…” – says the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness, as he picks up his scythe and quickly slashes Juno in half with it.
“And now there are two of you.” – shouts the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness
Using his power, the ArchGod had split Juno into two of himself.
“uh?” – say both Juno, surprising by seeing each other.
“Please, allow me to introduce you to my power.
You are dark, and you are light.” – says the ArchGod as he points at each of them two.
“In order words…
One is the good guy, the other one is the bad guy.” – he continues, smiling.
“Aaaaaand….” – he says as he walks through the portal
“The only way to get you two back to normal, is for you to find someone who can make it!
Someone…other then me of course!” – shouts the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness, as the portal closes.
“Well… it seems that the quest won’t be that simple after all…” – says the ArchGod of Wisdom
“Wait…so now we are two?” – says one of the Juno
“Seems like it.” – answers the other
“Well this is gonna be confusing…” – says the first one
“I’ll call you Junoto” – says the first one
“What?!
Why should I change my name to that?
What about you become Junoto?!” – says the second one
“Oh come on…
It would be a lot simpler that way!” – says the first
“not fair.
Won’t do.” – says the second, with his arms crossed
“Wait…who of you two is the good and evil again?” – asks the ArchGod of Wisdom
Both of them point to each other.
“Evil.” – they say at the same time
“Oh my…” – whispers the ArchGod of Wisdom
“no you.” – says the first
“no you.” – says the second
“no you.” – and they repeat a couple of times, before getting interrupted by the ArchGod of Wisdom
“You should be more worried about getting back together rather than deicide who is who!” – he says
“You are right.” – say both of them at the same time
“Euh…and who would be able to do such thing?” – asks one of them
“Well…that is a good question…
I would say…that the ArchGodess of Equilibrium should be able to fix that issue…but…” – ponders the ArchGod of Wisdom
“Then that’s it!
We go visit her, fix this mess, and we continue with our main goal!” – says one of them
“W..wait! She-“ – says the ArchGod of Wisdom, but he could not finish his sentence for both Junos quickly flew through a portal.
[ArchGod of Equilibrium’s temple]
The gate opens has Juno walks upon the temple.
Empty as always, there is nothing inside of it besides darkness.
The gate shuts, leaving Juno all by himself in the dark.
“I know you are here.” – says Juno
“well of course, it is my home!” – answers the ArchGod
“I wonder…what brings you here, now?” – she continues
“The ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness split me into two, I was told you could fix it.” – answers Juno
“Well of course I can!
That is my power after all…
But why should I?” – she answers
“I believe you still hoe me a favor…” – replies Juno
“Ah!” – she laughs
“After all you have done, you still think things are going to play YOUR way?!
How pity…” – she shouts
“What do you mean?” – asks Juno
“Well…why would I even care about you anymore?
Now that your killing us?
Pft…” – she answers
Juno does not answer.
“In fact, It really comes on handy that you came to see me.
Now I do not have to go out look for you no longer…” – she continues, as her eyes finally appear through the darkness.
“Those vulture looking eyes…” – whispers Juno
“What is wrong Human?
You thought you could just freely move on our ground without any sort of punishment?
No.
I will not fix your problem, the same way I am not letting you get away now.” – says the ArchGod
Juno quickly opens a portal, however, he is unable to go through it.
“Leaving so soon?
Come on, stay a little bit more.
Just enough time for us to resolve our conflicts, shall you?” – says the ArchGod
“You won’t help, I get it…
But what you are about to do…” – says Juno
“I am fixing this, once and for all!” – shouts the ArchGod as the whole place gets irradiated by a powerful flash of light.
“Godo-modo”.
[ArchGod of Time’s tower]
“I knew you would arrive…just in time.” – says the ArchGod of Time, in his old form, sitting on this throne, right in front of a giant clock.
Juno approaches the throne.
“The answer, however, is a no.” – says the ArchGod, before Juno says something.
“…
I see…
So you all think that of me…” – whispers Juno
“We think what we see.
And I, my dear Human, can see what the others can’t.” – answers the ArchGod
“Go ahead, pull that blade of yours.
The clock is ticking.” – he continues, as a clock’ ticking sound plays.
“Very well.” – says Juno, as he summons his blade.
“Hmm…
Interesting.” – says the ArchGod, as Juno charges to him.
“If you really intend of getting my power too, than I am afraid I shall disappoint you.” – He continues, as he phases away.
“Our powers are something out of your world, Human…” – says the ArchGod, as he reappears behind Juno.
The ArchGod immediately tries to hit Juno with his staff, however, he dodges his attack.
But every time Juno tries to attack the ArchGod, he just phases away.
“I can do this the whole day, Human, but can you?” – says the ArchGod, taunting Juno
Juno suddenly stops trying to attack him.
“Tired?
I guess…
It is logical for you to be.” – says the ArchGod, as he suddenly starts changing to his Junger form.
“I however, do not understand those simple words the ones like you shall feel.” – he continues
His staff too has hanged his form.
Juno rises his blade to the clock behind the throne.
He releases an immense amount of energy from his blade, and with just a swing, completely shots it at the clock, breaking it.
“Now…
What is that supposed to mean?
Do you want to tell me…
That you plan to overcome my power?
That you are not bonded to the laws of time?
How amusing…” – says the ArchGod as he uses his power to rebuild the giant clock.
“Everything you do, was, is, and shall be, completely useless against me.” – says the ArchGod
“Who said I wasn’t aiming directly to you?” – says Juno
“uh?” – says the ArchGod, as Juno’s energy starts appearing behind him.
“What is this…?!” – shouts the ArchGod, as takes Juno’s attack directly.
In the middle of it, however, the clock ticks louder, time stops.
The damage caused by Juno’s attack starts slowing reverting, to the point where Juno hadn’t released his energy.
“As I said…
The outcome of this battle is already decided.” – says the ArchGod as his staff starts releasing an immense amount of energy.
Juno gets ready for an attack, however…
“Just to be clear…
Be it past, be it present, be it future…
You and your power, shall never defeat me.” – says the ArchGod as he releases his energy immediately against Juno, involving him with a green glow.
The clock ticks louder again.
Juno disappears.
The ArchGod slowly walks up to his throne.
“I do not like the idea either…
But that’s a way to fix things.
Deleting your birth. – he murmurs, as he seats on his throne.
[The Vulcan’s cave]
“oh? Juno? I…
I heard the news…” – says the ArchGod of Ember
“So you know why I came.” – says Juno
“Are you really willing to kill us…?
After all we…” – says the ArchGod
“I am looking for a weapon to defeat an ArchGod.
Not one in particular this time.” – says Juno
“An ArchGod…
Such thing can never exist.
Nor shall I make it happen.” – refuses the ArchGod
Juno summons his blade, throwing her to the ArchGod’s feet’s.
“You already have a weapon that kills ArchGods…
Why a second one?” – says the ArchGod
“A weapon made by an ArchGod, shall be strong enough to stop one.
Mine on the other hand…” – says Juno as the ArchGod picks up his blade and analyzes it.
“As been shown quite useless…” – he continues
“Well no wonder!
I told you that the weapon you were looking for could only be acquired from within yourself…
This however, is a completely useless blade!
Even though it his sharp…
This blade is unable to damage anything, be it cut or piercing!
How the heck did you even kill the others…?!” – wonders the ArchGod
“I killed Gowan, not the ArchGod of Elements…
But you do not have to believe on me.” – says Juno
“What I think does not matter.
This weapon of yours, however….seems rather interesting.” – says the ArchGod
“Oh Juno…
Your kind nature impersonates me.
Even my hot heart can’t compete with it.
This weapon you created, it possesses a bit of the powers of those who you have yet fought…
I can feel their energy inside of it.” – he continues
“I suppose.” – answers Juno
“Perhaps what you should be looking to, is how to use those powers, rather than wanting me to give you a weapon.” – says the ArchGod
“I do not intend to kill those either.” – says Juno
“How come?” – asks the ArchGod, interested.
[ArchGod of Time’s Clock Tower]
Someone walks through the main gate.
“What a surprise…
Even I could not predict your arrival, Korra.” – says the ArchGod of Time
“Quit those words of yours.
I heard you defeated that Human, is that right?” – asks Korra
“I did erase his birth, yes.” – answers the ArchGod of Time
“Do you have any idea of what you did?
He had the powers of his victims within…
You must rewind time and get him back here before reality starts to collapse!” – says Korra
“Hmm…
Look around you, I see no such thing as a collapse.
In fact, my rewind seems like never happened.” – says the ArchGod of Time
“Fool me not.
I was about to defeat that Human when he got rewinded!
I can already sense the consequences of it!
They might not be on our world yet, but others are suffering already…” – shouts Korra
“Enough.
I won’t rewind the only treat to our very existence.” – answers the ArchGod of Time
“then…” – says Korra, as she opens her wings.
“You give me no other choice.” – she continues, as she starts glowing golden
“What have we become?” – says the ArchGod of Time, glowing golden too
But before they could even change their form, they both got hit by a phase-looking arrow of lights.
“What?
What is this?!” – shouts the ArchGod of Time, as both of them are frozen on spot.
Someone walks upon the temple.
“Yo…you?!
But…how?!” – shouts the ArchGod of Time, paralyzed
“A miscalculation on your actions I suppose.” – answers Juno, walking upon the two frozen ArchGods.
“A miscalculation…?
Impossible!
I control time itself, with no flaws!” – shouts the ArchGod of Time
“I suppose that is true.
However, you only sent back one of us.” – says Juno
“O...one?!” – says the ArchGod of Time, surprised
“Wait…
So you let one of them exist still?!” – shouts Korra
“I…I had no idea…I…” – says the ArchGod of Time, agitated.
“A flaw.
Good thing we decided to divide our tasks instead of acting together.” – says Juno, as he summons his Blade
“Wait!
Stop! Juno!
You do not want to do this!” – shouts the ArchGod of Time, in panic, as Juno puts his blade close to the ArchGod’s head.
Juno stops.
“Think about the consequences!
My erasing one of you has already got an impact on reality outside of this world…
If you kill me, the father time, time itself will stop!
I beg you Human, I’ll give you what you want, but please, don’t act mindlessly…!” – shouts the ArchGod of Time
“I think we both know how things will turn out to be, am I right?” – answers Juno
“Whatever!
You can’t kill me!
I am time himself!” – shouts the ArchGod of Time
“Well yeah, you are indeed virtually impossible to kill.
However…” – says Juno, as he releases some energy from his blade.
“I do not intend to do such thing.” – he continues
“noooooooooooooooo!” – shouts the ArchGod of Time
“Hmpf.
Guess I am the evil one after all.” – says Juno, as he slices the ArchGod of Time in half with his blade.
As usual, with the death of another ArchGod, a huge amount of his energy got released from his body.
The big clock behind the throne cracked, giving one last tick.
“So you manage to find another way, Human.
My congratulations.
You are indeed smarter than I thought.” – says Korra
“May I ask you what are you pretending to do with the power of Time?” – she asks
“Not like you would care anyway.” – answers Juno, as he opens a portal.
Juno walks through it, leaving Korra on the Clock Tower, alone, paralyzed still.
[Pocket Dimension, Prison]
“Juno?” – says Kado
“You know how to use their powers right?
Teach me.” – says Juno
“You…you mean…?
Of course I know, what kind of question is that?!” – shouts Kado
“I need to revert the erasure of my other half.” – says Juno
“Rewinding time is one of the hardest things you would ever want to ask me to teach you.
Very well.
I shall begin your training, however, I must say it already, there is a big difference between using a power and knowing how to use it.” – says Kado
“I just want to use it.” – answers Juno
“Very well then.
Pretty basic, and it’s valuable for every single power you shall acquire.” – answers Kado
“I am listening” – says Juno as he sits on the floor.
“We ArchGods use a kind of special energy, we call it Reiashin.
It is with it that we use our powers.
You however, do not possess such thing.
Therefor, I am afraid you cannot use any of those powers you have acquired.” – says Kado
“There must be another way!” – says Juno
“I guess, the ArchGod of Ember could build you something that would convert your own energy into Reiashin.
But it shall come with a price.” – says Kado
“It does not matter.” – answers Juno
“Very well then…” – says Kado
And so it was done.
Juno went to the ArchGod of Ember, asking for a way to use Reiashin.
The ArchGod so did it.
He upgraded Juno’s gloves, so they can infuse Juno’s energy and transform it into Reiashin.
“Just look with yourself, and let the power flow through your body, that’s pretty much how we do it” – says Kado to Juno
Juno concentrates.
The whole world starts shaking briefly.
A clock ticks.
[Clock Tower]
“So you are back, Human.” – says Korra
Indeed, the Juno who got erased by the power of time is back.
“I suppose that concludes a part of your plan, am I right?” – continues Korra
Juno smiles.
“You being here means that our plan as actually come to and end.” – he says as the other Juno comes out of a portal.
“You are starting to understand how to use the powers…
Very well, so you do indeed have all of them.
We were right since the start, I suppose.” – says Korra, smiling.
“Something alone those lines.” – answers Juno
“Now…the condition of your release seems clear.” – continues Juno
“I put you two together and you release me, did I guess it right?” – answers Korra
“Almost.” – says the other Juno, surprising Korra
“There is something we have to clear first.” – he continues as he approaches Korra.
“Thanks to me, who got a piece of the ArchGod of Time’s clock, what we used to forge the phase-arrow to stop both of you…” – says Juno
Juno takes out one of Korra’s fathers.
“With this father of yours…” – continues Juno
“You will forge a weapon strong enough to stop me for good too.” – completes Korra
“Bingo.” – confirms Juno
“Hmpf. Very well Human, go ahead, surprise me more.” – says Korra with her eyes closed, as both Juno walk through the portal.
[ArchGod of Light and Darkness Temple]
A sudden portal opens right in the middle of the chamber, everyone stopped, confused.
Juno comes out of it.
“Eh?” – says the ArchGod of Light/Darkness, surprised.
“The Human…” – murmurs the ArchGod of Empathy
“You are still not full.” – says the ArchGod of Light/Darkness
“I decided I do not need my full self to take care of you two.” – says Juno
“How arrogant…” – says the ArchGod of Empathy
The ArchGod of Light/Darkness smiles, as he gets up from his throne, walking in Juno’s direction.
“You might want to close your eyes, ArchGod of Empathy.” – says Juno, smiling.
“Uh?” – answers the ArchGod of Empathy confused.
Both Juno and the ArchGod of Light/Darkness pick up their weapons, and so, they finally clashed against one another.
Everyone gets pushed away as those two beings start their fight.
The floor cracks as their weapons connect with each other.
Suddenly, the ArchGod of Empathy has a weird gut on his mouth.
“Careful ArchGod of Light/Darkness!” – he shouts
But it was too late.
The ArchGod of Light/Darkness is surprised by a pencil-like weapon, piercing through his back, whiled by the other Juno.
As soon as he realizes what hit him, the ArchGod gets split into two copies of himself, just like he did with Juno.
One being full white, the other one full black.
“Wh..what have you done!” – shouts the ArchGod of Light/Darkness
“Now there is one for each of us.” – says both Juno as they separate both the spit ArchGods, making it for a one on one fight.
However, it seems like the ArchGod has some problems fighting Juno.
For is powers were cut in half, he can’t even cast one of his spells anymore.
Both copies of the ArchGod got their knees, accepting their defeat.
Juno had indeed won that fight.
Juno opens a portal.
“Now let us finish this.
You too.
ArchGod of Empathy.” – says Juno
“…
As you wish.” – murmurs the ArchGod of Empathy
And so they all walked upon the portal, arriving in the pocket dimension’s prison.
“Oh my…” – says Kado, as he sees the tree ArchGod’s arriving alongside Juno.
They all walked again into their cells.
“Can you at least put myself back together?” – asks the ArchGod of Light/Darkness
“I’ll pass.” – answers Juno, irritating the ArchGod.
Juno concentrates his energy and uses a barrier spell.
“That spell…
It’s the same Gowan used to seal us here…” – says the ArchGod of Empathy
“You are right.” – answers Juno
“Are you that confident that no one of us will stop you?!
Look around, we were in jailed yes.
But there is no good or evil on us!
Others have tried to stop you, what guarantee do you have to make that same seal he did?!” – says the ArchGod of Light/Darkness
Juno smiles.
“If they come, I will just stop them too.” – says Juno as they walk through the portal (the two Junos).
[Clock Tower]
Meanwhile, Juno went back to Korra, and agreed to release her if she put them back together.
She agreed.
Once done, she walked away, back to her weird palace, saying nothing.
There is only one last ArchGod who escaped, the ArchGod of Entropy.
[Somewhere else]
“So the Human has turned against us…
He thinks he can take what is ours.
Do whatever he wants.
And end our own kind?
My brothers and sisters, it seems like the time has come, for us to act.” – says someone
End of Chapter 4.
Chapter 4: A Dangerous World
“Yes yes yes!
That suits you well!
An ant!
Ahah…” – shouts the voice, but his amusement does not last long, for the ant starts moving.
“What?
You still insist on defying me?
How peculiar...
You might have defeated others with that same technique before, but I am not like the others…
No, I really am not!” – shouts the voice as a giant foot appears from the sky, smashing the ant.
“Do you see it?
Do you see just how miserable you are to me?!” – shouts the voice
And so, the ant gets out of the giant boot, and continues his walking.
“Oh…
You really are one of a kind…
Very well then…” – shouts the voice
Suddenly, Gowan appears in front of the ant.
“Juno please.
Lets go home, both of us.
Let us forget this madness once and for all and just chill home.” – he says
“Joke.” – shouts the voice, as Gowan vanishes.
“I got you didn’t I?
Ahah!” – shouts the voice
The ant continues walking.
“Ah?
How come?...” – shouts the voice, surprised
“This is getting annoying.” – says Juno
“Anno…annoying?...” – whispers the voice, as everything comes back to normal.
Juno keeps walking towards the palace of the ArchGod of Darkness/lightness, completely ignoring the ArchGod of Imagination words.
“Do you, have, any idea, of who I am?” – shouts the voice
“I am THE ONE, THE ONLY, THE ARCHGOD OF IMAGINATION!!!” – it shouts
“My power…
My power is reality itself!
Anything I want, anything I wish for, shall and will, happen!” – shouts the voice
“Not really…” – interrupts Juno
“Uh?” – shouts the voice, confused
“If that were to be true, then you would’ve granted Garaam his wish.” – says Juno
“Oh…I see…
You think I care about the others?
About Garaam?
Heck.
Why not make me the supreme ruler instead?
What about that?!” – shouts the voice, furious
Everything starts shacking again.
“Whatever.” – says Juno
The shacking stopped.
“Wha—whatever?!
Am I a joke to you?!
Human?!” – shouts the voice
Juno stops walking, and sighs.
“Oh and now you sigh?!
Great.
You must really like to piss me off…” – shouts the voice
“I already told you, I have no interest on you, for now.” – says Juno
“What?!” – shouts the voice
“Besides, you are nothing more than just a simple talk.
Your power has nothing to do with reality…” – says Juno
“What?!!! How dare you…!
My power is reality itself!
I am…!” – shouts the voice
“Yeah yeah, the ArchGod of Imagination, I already got that.” – interrupts Juno
“But your power has no direct impact on reality, am I right?
You can make the imaginable happen, but that does not mean you make it exist.
Therefor…
You’re nothing more than illusions to me.” – says Juno, as he starts walking again.
“…
Illusions?...” – whispers the voice
Suddenly, a corpse appears in front of Juno, lying on the snow.
“Fine.
You won.
You are indeed right.
Those are indeed the rules of my power…
However, that does not mean shit when it comes to me!!!” – shouts the voice
Everything turns black, colorless, it was as the whole reality had disappeared all of a sudden.
“Tell me Human…
How about I make this your new beloved reality?!” – shouts the voice
“Void.
Quite fitting don’t you think so?
Because you got the power of Garaam…
Oh forget it.
I’ve grown bored of you and those jokes…
Just begone now.
Forever and ever, this shall be your reality.
Emptiness.
Emotionless.
Just nothing.
Just like you.
And you sh-…” – says the voice
But before she could finish her speech, a branch on the colorless space was made.
Juno was walking through it, suddenly, the whole vision of reality that was imposed by the ArchGod of Imagination collapsed, making everything go back to normal again.
“You…” – whispers the voice, as Juno approaches the gates of the palace of the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness.
“You are ignoring me?!
ME?!” – shouts the voice, infuriated
“I…I have never meet someone like you before!
I never thought that someone like you could exist!
You…you…you!!!
Is this how you intend to defeat me?!
Ignoring me?!
Waiting for me to give up and turn my back on you?!
Is that it, HUMAN?!!!” – shouts the voice
“Oh…I see you are already back, ArchGod of Imagination.” – says Kado, the ArchGod of Wisdom, smiling
The ArchGod of Imagination finds himself back to the prison, his “body” lying on the ground.
“I…
I…
Fuck.” – says the ArchGod of Imagination (thinking)
[ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness’ Palace]
The two ArchGods are enjoying the party, along with their subordinates.
“Wait wait!
You cannot go in there! You were not invited…!” – says a voice coming from the hall gate.
Suddenly, the gate opens, Juno walks upon it, with two subordinates trying to hold him back.
The music stops, everyone stops dancing and partying as they stare at the Human, who’s approaching the two ArchGods.
“Well…how curious…” – states the ArchGod of Empathy, confused
The ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness, however, is smiling.
“You must be the Human.
What an honor, must I say.” – says the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness, bowing to Juno.
“I am here to demanding you to go back to your prison.” – says Juno
“Well of course!
I just wanted to take some fresh air anyway!” – answers the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness
“Please, lead the way.” – he says
Juno opens a portal behind him.
“There.” – he says
“Splendid!” – says the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness as he walks through the portal with Juno
The ArchGod of Empathy stays still, with a heavy face.
“You know Human…
I never thought you were this naïve to be fair.” – says the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness as they arrive to his cell in the prison.
“Your cell.” – answers Juno
“I can see that.” – answers the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness
“Another one already?! Are you speed running now Juno?” – shouts the ArchGod of Wisdom, laughing
“Oh…please, allow me to help with it then…” – says the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness, as he picks up his scythe and quickly slashes Juno in half with it.
“And now there are two of you.” – shouts the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness
Using his power, the ArchGod had split Juno into two of himself.
“uh?” – say both Juno, surprising by seeing each other.
“Please, allow me to introduce you to my power.
You are dark, and you are light.” – says the ArchGod as he points at each of them two.
“In order words…
One is the good guy, the other one is the bad guy.” – he continues, smiling.
“Aaaaaand….” – he says as he walks through the portal
“The only way to get you two back to normal, is for you to find someone who can make it!
Someone…other then me of course!” – shouts the ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness, as the portal closes.
“Well… it seems that the quest won’t be that simple after all…” – says the ArchGod of Wisdom
“Wait…so now we are two?” – says one of the Juno
“Seems like it.” – answers the other
“Well this is gonna be confusing…” – says the first one
“I’ll call you Junoto” – says the first one
“What?!
Why should I change my name to that?
What about you become Junoto?!” – says the second one
“Oh come on…
It would be a lot simpler that way!” – says the first
“not fair.
Won’t do.” – says the second, with his arms crossed
“Wait…who of you two is the good and evil again?” – asks the ArchGod of Wisdom
Both of them point to each other.
“Evil.” – they say at the same time
“Oh my…” – whispers the ArchGod of Wisdom
“no you.” – says the first
“no you.” – says the second
“no you.” – and they repeat a couple of times, before getting interrupted by the ArchGod of Wisdom
“You should be more worried about getting back together rather than deicide who is who!” – he says
“You are right.” – say both of them at the same time
“Euh…and who would be able to do such thing?” – asks one of them
“Well…that is a good question…
I would say…that the ArchGodess of Equilibrium should be able to fix that issue…but…” – ponders the ArchGod of Wisdom
“Then that’s it!
We go visit her, fix this mess, and we continue with our main goal!” – says one of them
“W..wait! She-“ – says the ArchGod of Wisdom, but he could not finish his sentence for both Junos quickly flew through a portal.
[ArchGod of Equilibrium’s temple]
The gate opens has Juno walks upon the temple.
Empty as always, there is nothing inside of it besides darkness.
The gate shuts, leaving Juno all by himself in the dark.
“I know you are here.” – says Juno
“well of course, it is my home!” – answers the ArchGod
“I wonder…what brings you here, now?” – she continues
“The ArchGod of Darkness/Lightness split me into two, I was told you could fix it.” – answers Juno
“Well of course I can!
That is my power after all…
But why should I?” – she answers
“I believe you still hoe me a favor…” – replies Juno
“Ah!” – she laughs
“After all you have done, you still think things are going to play YOUR way?!
How pity…” – she shouts
“What do you mean?” – asks Juno
“Well…why would I even care about you anymore?
Now that your killing us?
Pft…” – she answers
Juno does not answer.
“In fact, It really comes on handy that you came to see me.
Now I do not have to go out look for you no longer…” – she continues, as her eyes finally appear through the darkness.
“Those vulture looking eyes…” – whispers Juno
“What is wrong Human?
You thought you could just freely move on our ground without any sort of punishment?
No.
I will not fix your problem, the same way I am not letting you get away now.” – says the ArchGod
Juno quickly opens a portal, however, he is unable to go through it.
“Leaving so soon?
Come on, stay a little bit more.
Just enough time for us to resolve our conflicts, shall you?” – says the ArchGod
“You won’t help, I get it…
But what you are about to do…” – says Juno
“I am fixing this, once and for all!” – shouts the ArchGod as the whole place gets irradiated by a powerful flash of light.
“Godo-modo”.
[ArchGod of Time’s tower]
“I knew you would arrive…just in time.” – says the ArchGod of Time, in his old form, sitting on this throne, right in front of a giant clock.
Juno approaches the throne.
“The answer, however, is a no.” – says the ArchGod, before Juno says something.
“…
I see…
So you all think that of me…” – whispers Juno
“We think what we see.
And I, my dear Human, can see what the others can’t.” – answers the ArchGod
“Go ahead, pull that blade of yours.
The clock is ticking.” – he continues, as a clock’ ticking sound plays.
“Very well.” – says Juno, as he summons his blade.
“Hmm…
Interesting.” – says the ArchGod, as Juno charges to him.
“If you really intend of getting my power too, than I am afraid I shall disappoint you.” – He continues, as he phases away.
“Our powers are something out of your world, Human…” – says the ArchGod, as he reappears behind Juno.
The ArchGod immediately tries to hit Juno with his staff, however, he dodges his attack.
But every time Juno tries to attack the ArchGod, he just phases away.
“I can do this the whole day, Human, but can you?” – says the ArchGod, taunting Juno
Juno suddenly stops trying to attack him.
“Tired?
I guess…
It is logical for you to be.” – says the ArchGod, as he suddenly starts changing to his Junger form.
“I however, do not understand those simple words the ones like you shall feel.” – he continues
His staff too has hanged his form.
Juno rises his blade to the clock behind the throne.
He releases an immense amount of energy from his blade, and with just a swing, completely shots it at the clock, breaking it.
“Now…
What is that supposed to mean?
Do you want to tell me…
That you plan to overcome my power?
That you are not bonded to the laws of time?
How amusing…” – says the ArchGod as he uses his power to rebuild the giant clock.
“Everything you do, was, is, and shall be, completely useless against me.” – says the ArchGod
“Who said I wasn’t aiming directly to you?” – says Juno
“uh?” – says the ArchGod, as Juno’s energy starts appearing behind him.
“What is this…?!” – shouts the ArchGod, as takes Juno’s attack directly.
In the middle of it, however, the clock ticks louder, time stops.
The damage caused by Juno’s attack starts slowing reverting, to the point where Juno hadn’t released his energy.
“As I said…
The outcome of this battle is already decided.” – says the ArchGod as his staff starts releasing an immense amount of energy.
Juno gets ready for an attack, however…
“Just to be clear…
Be it past, be it present, be it future…
You and your power, shall never defeat me.” – says the ArchGod as he releases his energy immediately against Juno, involving him with a green glow.
The clock ticks louder again.
Juno disappears.
The ArchGod slowly walks up to his throne.
“I do not like the idea either…
But that’s a way to fix things.
Deleting your birth. – he murmurs, as he seats on his throne.
[The Vulcan’s cave]
“oh? Juno? I…
I heard the news…” – says the ArchGod of Ember
“So you know why I came.” – says Juno
“Are you really willing to kill us…?
After all we…” – says the ArchGod
“I am looking for a weapon to defeat an ArchGod.
Not one in particular this time.” – says Juno
“An ArchGod…
Such thing can never exist.
Nor shall I make it happen.” – refuses the ArchGod
Juno summons his blade, throwing her to the ArchGod’s feet’s.
“You already have a weapon that kills ArchGods…
Why a second one?” – says the ArchGod
“A weapon made by an ArchGod, shall be strong enough to stop one.
Mine on the other hand…” – says Juno as the ArchGod picks up his blade and analyzes it.
“As been shown quite useless…” – he continues
“Well no wonder!
I told you that the weapon you were looking for could only be acquired from within yourself…
This however, is a completely useless blade!
Even though it his sharp…
This blade is unable to damage anything, be it cut or piercing!
How the heck did you even kill the others…?!” – wonders the ArchGod
“I killed Gowan, not the ArchGod of Elements…
But you do not have to believe on me.” – says Juno
“What I think does not matter.
This weapon of yours, however….seems rather interesting.” – says the ArchGod
“Oh Juno…
Your kind nature impersonates me.
Even my hot heart can’t compete with it.
This weapon you created, it possesses a bit of the powers of those who you have yet fought…
I can feel their energy inside of it.” – he continues
“I suppose.” – answers Juno
“Perhaps what you should be looking to, is how to use those powers, rather than wanting me to give you a weapon.” – says the ArchGod
“I do not intend to kill those either.” – says Juno
“How come?” – asks the ArchGod, interested.
[ArchGod of Time’s Clock Tower]
Someone walks through the main gate.
“What a surprise…
Even I could not predict your arrival, Korra.” – says the ArchGod of Time
“Quit those words of yours.
I heard you defeated that Human, is that right?” – asks Korra
“I did erase his birth, yes.” – answers the ArchGod of Time
“Do you have any idea of what you did?
He had the powers of his victims within…
You must rewind time and get him back here before reality starts to collapse!” – says Korra
“Hmm…
Look around you, I see no such thing as a collapse.
In fact, my rewind seems like never happened.” – says the ArchGod of Time
“Fool me not.
I was about to defeat that Human when he got rewinded!
I can already sense the consequences of it!
They might not be on our world yet, but others are suffering already…” – shouts Korra
“Enough.
I won’t rewind the only treat to our very existence.” – answers the ArchGod of Time
“then…” – says Korra, as she opens her wings.
“You give me no other choice.” – she continues, as she starts glowing golden
“What have we become?” – says the ArchGod of Time, glowing golden too
But before they could even change their form, they both got hit by a phase-looking arrow of lights.
“What?
What is this?!” – shouts the ArchGod of Time, as both of them are frozen on spot.
Someone walks upon the temple.
“Yo…you?!
But…how?!” – shouts the ArchGod of Time, paralyzed
“A miscalculation on your actions I suppose.” – answers Juno, walking upon the two frozen ArchGods.
“A miscalculation…?
Impossible!
I control time itself, with no flaws!” – shouts the ArchGod of Time
“I suppose that is true.
However, you only sent back one of us.” – says Juno
“O...one?!” – says the ArchGod of Time, surprised
“Wait…
So you let one of them exist still?!” – shouts Korra
“I…I had no idea…I…” – says the ArchGod of Time, agitated.
“A flaw.
Good thing we decided to divide our tasks instead of acting together.” – says Juno, as he summons his Blade
“Wait!
Stop! Juno!
You do not want to do this!” – shouts the ArchGod of Time, in panic, as Juno puts his blade close to the ArchGod’s head.
Juno stops.
“Think about the consequences!
My erasing one of you has already got an impact on reality outside of this world…
If you kill me, the father time, time itself will stop!
I beg you Human, I’ll give you what you want, but please, don’t act mindlessly…!” – shouts the ArchGod of Time
“I think we both know how things will turn out to be, am I right?” – answers Juno
“Whatever!
You can’t kill me!
I am time himself!” – shouts the ArchGod of Time
“Well yeah, you are indeed virtually impossible to kill.
However…” – says Juno, as he releases some energy from his blade.
“I do not intend to do such thing.” – he continues
“noooooooooooooooo!” – shouts the ArchGod of Time
“Hmpf.
Guess I am the evil one after all.” – says Juno, as he slices the ArchGod of Time in half with his blade.
As usual, with the death of another ArchGod, a huge amount of his energy got released from his body.
The big clock behind the throne cracked, giving one last tick.
“So you manage to find another way, Human.
My congratulations.
You are indeed smarter than I thought.” – says Korra
“May I ask you what are you pretending to do with the power of Time?” – she asks
“Not like you would care anyway.” – answers Juno, as he opens a portal.
Juno walks through it, leaving Korra on the Clock Tower, alone, paralyzed still.
[Pocket Dimension, Prison]
“Juno?” – says Kado
“You know how to use their powers right?
Teach me.” – says Juno
“You…you mean…?
Of course I know, what kind of question is that?!” – shouts Kado
“I need to revert the erasure of my other half.” – says Juno
“Rewinding time is one of the hardest things you would ever want to ask me to teach you.
Very well.
I shall begin your training, however, I must say it already, there is a big difference between using a power and knowing how to use it.” – says Kado
“I just want to use it.” – answers Juno
“Very well then.
Pretty basic, and it’s valuable for every single power you shall acquire.” – answers Kado
“I am listening” – says Juno as he sits on the floor.
“We ArchGods use a kind of special energy, we call it Reiashin.
It is with it that we use our powers.
You however, do not possess such thing.
Therefor, I am afraid you cannot use any of those powers you have acquired.” – says Kado
“There must be another way!” – says Juno
“I guess, the ArchGod of Ember could build you something that would convert your own energy into Reiashin.
But it shall come with a price.” – says Kado
“It does not matter.” – answers Juno
“Very well then…” – says Kado
And so it was done.
Juno went to the ArchGod of Ember, asking for a way to use Reiashin.
The ArchGod so did it.
He upgraded Juno’s gloves, so they can infuse Juno’s energy and transform it into Reiashin.
“Just look with yourself, and let the power flow through your body, that’s pretty much how we do it” – says Kado to Juno
Juno concentrates.
The whole world starts shaking briefly.
A clock ticks.
[Clock Tower]
“So you are back, Human.” – says Korra
Indeed, the Juno who got erased by the power of time is back.
“I suppose that concludes a part of your plan, am I right?” – continues Korra
Juno smiles.
“You being here means that our plan as actually come to and end.” – he says as the other Juno comes out of a portal.
“You are starting to understand how to use the powers…
Very well, so you do indeed have all of them.
We were right since the start, I suppose.” – says Korra, smiling.
“Something alone those lines.” – answers Juno
“Now…the condition of your release seems clear.” – continues Juno
“I put you two together and you release me, did I guess it right?” – answers Korra
“Almost.” – says the other Juno, surprising Korra
“There is something we have to clear first.” – he continues as he approaches Korra.
“Thanks to me, who got a piece of the ArchGod of Time’s clock, what we used to forge the phase-arrow to stop both of you…” – says Juno
Juno takes out one of Korra’s fathers.
“With this father of yours…” – continues Juno
“You will forge a weapon strong enough to stop me for good too.” – completes Korra
“Bingo.” – confirms Juno
“Hmpf. Very well Human, go ahead, surprise me more.” – says Korra with her eyes closed, as both Juno walk through the portal.
[ArchGod of Light and Darkness Temple]
A sudden portal opens right in the middle of the chamber, everyone stopped, confused.
Juno comes out of it.
“Eh?” – says the ArchGod of Light/Darkness, surprised.
“The Human…” – murmurs the ArchGod of Empathy
“You are still not full.” – says the ArchGod of Light/Darkness
“I decided I do not need my full self to take care of you two.” – says Juno
“How arrogant…” – says the ArchGod of Empathy
The ArchGod of Light/Darkness smiles, as he gets up from his throne, walking in Juno’s direction.
“You might want to close your eyes, ArchGod of Empathy.” – says Juno, smiling.
“Uh?” – answers the ArchGod of Empathy confused.
Both Juno and the ArchGod of Light/Darkness pick up their weapons, and so, they finally clashed against one another.
Everyone gets pushed away as those two beings start their fight.
The floor cracks as their weapons connect with each other.
Suddenly, the ArchGod of Empathy has a weird gut on his mouth.
“Careful ArchGod of Light/Darkness!” – he shouts
But it was too late.
The ArchGod of Light/Darkness is surprised by a pencil-like weapon, piercing through his back, whiled by the other Juno.
As soon as he realizes what hit him, the ArchGod gets split into two copies of himself, just like he did with Juno.
One being full white, the other one full black.
“Wh..what have you done!” – shouts the ArchGod of Light/Darkness
“Now there is one for each of us.” – says both Juno as they separate both the spit ArchGods, making it for a one on one fight.
However, it seems like the ArchGod has some problems fighting Juno.
For is powers were cut in half, he can’t even cast one of his spells anymore.
Both copies of the ArchGod got their knees, accepting their defeat.
Juno had indeed won that fight.
Juno opens a portal.
“Now let us finish this.
You too.
ArchGod of Empathy.” – says Juno
“…
As you wish.” – murmurs the ArchGod of Empathy
And so they all walked upon the portal, arriving in the pocket dimension’s prison.
“Oh my…” – says Kado, as he sees the tree ArchGod’s arriving alongside Juno.
They all walked again into their cells.
“Can you at least put myself back together?” – asks the ArchGod of Light/Darkness
“I’ll pass.” – answers Juno, irritating the ArchGod.
Juno concentrates his energy and uses a barrier spell.
“That spell…
It’s the same Gowan used to seal us here…” – says the ArchGod of Empathy
“You are right.” – answers Juno
“Are you that confident that no one of us will stop you?!
Look around, we were in jailed yes.
But there is no good or evil on us!
Others have tried to stop you, what guarantee do you have to make that same seal he did?!” – says the ArchGod of Light/Darkness
Juno smiles.
“If they come, I will just stop them too.” – says Juno as they walk through the portal (the two Junos).
[Clock Tower]
Meanwhile, Juno went back to Korra, and agreed to release her if she put them back together.
She agreed.
Once done, she walked away, back to her weird palace, saying nothing.
There is only one last ArchGod who escaped, the ArchGod of Entropy.
[Somewhere else]
“So the Human has turned against us…
He thinks he can take what is ours.
Do whatever he wants.
And end our own kind?
My brothers and sisters, it seems like the time has come, for us to act.” – says someone
End of Chapter 4.
