A Carnival in Darkness: Part 74
Ken listened to Sephiroth's words and it was true, even Ken would gladly sacrifice his own life to help That Man and save the world. Ken speaks quietly to Axl as he was about to do something drastic. "Tell my wife that I love her." Ken goes out in to the rain and uses his Shoryuken dragon punch to thrust himself up in to the air right in front of the path of fire of Sol thinking that Sol was out to kill That Man. "I will protect you, That Man." Ken died instantly from the flames.
Ken was not the only one sacrificing their life to help That Man fight Bison. The air filled with flying pokemons that were poisoned from the rain, they went to fight Bison but they died instantly when they got near Bison who was too powerful for anyone on Earth besides That Man to fight.
Bison laughs with glee as he saw Ken being killed and the pokemons around him dropping dead like flies. Bison was very content seeing that now all living things were dying off at an exponential rate. "It's beautiful, isn't it That Man? There is death to the right, left and all around! Soon life itself will cease to exist and since I don't need your powers any more I will take great pleasure killing the great hero of the cosmos That Man with my new psycho powers." Bison saw That Man push the Earth back but right away he created a huge black hole behind the Earth and planets were pulled from all directions to the Earth making sure that there will be a big explosion and the Earth will be doomed. Bison took the time to gloat and give out his diabolic laughter but he was caught totally off guard by That Man's attack giving him an opening.
*******************
"Ken! No!" Axl yelled as he saw his newly made friend Ken running out, trying to stop Sol which just made Axl feel horrible seeing his newly made friend burning up in the flames that Sol had surrounding his body. "Damn it!" Axl screams as he breaks his baton in half, letting the chains fall to the ground below him as he cries a little for his friend.
"So many have died...Too many..."
Raven became silent now as he looked around to all of the death and destruction surrounding each and every single one of them...Slowly turning to look back to his boss as he sighs and shakes his head as he looked quickly to Sol, who was coming closer to That Man, a raging inferno the entire time.
Sol didn't even seem to notice Ken through all of those flames, never holding anything against his fellow American warrior from the past as he slowly lifts up his Fireseal and pointed it toward That Man from behind.
Slowly beginning to open his mouth and speak in that booming and near explosive voice of his. "Get...Away from here now...You stupid f*ck..." Sol said very loudly to That Man, beginning to charge toward Bison as he had his guard totally off.
His entire body engulfed in flames as he roared like the dragon he became, "TYRANT...RAVE...ULTIMATE!" Sol would scream as That Man was blown back from the explosion as Sol burnt all of the ground beneath him into lava as the air around him turned into flames, burning everything to a crisp as he launched toward Bison.
Using the ultimate release of his Overdrive attack, prepared to join in now on the fight beside the one he often called his greatest foe...The man he wanted to kill...
Those flames now blasting out toward Bison as it sounded like a literal volcanic explosion as the Ultimate Tyrant Rave was released.
"Frederick?!" That Man yelled in surprise as he was blasted back and quickly got his footing back as he saw Sol using the Tyrant Rave U against Bison. Knowing this was his chance as well as he outstretched both hands, seeing all this death and the imminent destruction of the Earth on the horizon from the black hole, That Man knew that everything would have to be thrown into this by himself and Sol.
That Man's hands would engulf in black flames as he mimicked Sol's Tyrant Rave U and unleashed his own volcanic explosion of black flames to try and burn away the evil that was Bison, the two hated foes now trying to work together against this ultimate threat.
Bison was in for it now as he had to face down two massive volcanic explosions of fire heading right toward him. One of flames as hot as the sun and the other of flames filled with so much pure magical power, both formed from two finally getting over their hatred of one another to work together for the greater good.
"Ty...RANT'S...Ra...VE!!!!"
*******************
Vega yodels loudly hoping that That Man and Sol's combined attacks can be enough to destroy Bison. He also wonders if Sailor Pluto could do anything to resurrect and bring Ken back.
Sailor Pluto could resurrect Ken and Howdy and all the lives lost like what Vega suggests but that would take a lot of energy out of her since so many souls need to be restored. Sailor Pluto watches the epic battle between Sol, That Man and Bison, knowing what the outcome will be.
Bison immediately counters That Man and Sol's attack with pyscho flames of his own, the blasts hit each other in the center. At first at a stand still but then it seems that the flames on That Man's side was stronger and approaching Bison. "No, how can this be? I am suppose to be invincible!" Using the very last of his strength, Bison threw a wave of psycho energy towards That Man before the two Tyrant Raven broke through Bison's psycho powers and engulfed him. Bison discintegrated and died instantly while cursing That Man. Soon after Bison was killed, the black clouds disappeared and the light shone through. The sun, planets and Earth went back to their normal orbit. Although almost destroyed and billions of people slaughtered mercilessly, the Earth went to normal and started recovering.
Sephiroth saw that That Man looked tired and immediately flew up next to him trying to catch him if he was going to fall down. The whole world, the people, the pokemon, everyone began cheering for the great hero That Man who once again saved the world again. "That Man has once again become victorious and saved us! All hail That Man!" Vega yodels loudly at seeing That Man's victory. Finally the sky was bright again. Vega bows at That Man and soon others follow to bow at their hero.
*******************
After the combined use of Tyrant Rave's by Sol Badguy and That Man, That Man would only be left with a smile on his face under his hood as he saw that the Earth would now finally be safe as he and his once-upon-a-time friend had defeated the one who threatened all life and the future itself.
Slowly That Man was going to slowly collapse to his knees but would be caught by Sephiroth. Looking up to his newest associate with a nod of that shrouded head of his, his face overshadowed as usual as he calmly spoke, "No...Sephiroth...Everyone is the reason we are all alive...The sacrifices we've made and those that we've lost, we have to remember them and thank them...Their memory was what gave us the strength to prevail...".
That Man would quiet down now as he asks Sephiroth to take him to a place where he could be laid down to be able to rest for a moment in this place.
"The Glory of Ano Otoko-sama continues to shine! The Glory of all Mankind shall continue on! Our Futures are still bright!" Raven said triumphantly as he wanted to make sure that all of the others still around would feel great pride in themselves, that everyone played a part in this.
After he would get everyone feeling more pumped up and ready to see the dead revived soon once Sailor Pluto would be able to begin to process, Raven would teleport straight over to That Man after he was laid down to be able to rest on the ground. Kneeling down beside his employer, Raven would pull his hood back to see if his boss looked alright.
"Ano Otoko-sama...Your blue glow...It's still as fine as ever..." Raven would say with a soft chuckle as he removed his mask and stood up, that spike still protruding from his pale, pale face. "Sephiroth, we should let That Man lay here for a while, he'll get better quicker that way. That Man's magical powers will restore quickly with rest."
Axl was going to quickly be by Sailor Pluto's side, having heard how she could restore the lives of those who were lost. "Could you really do that, Sailor Pluto? If you could...That'd be fantastic. Ken Masters' a legend in my time and I think it'd be best if he lives out to the end of his life naturally...And...It'd be really awesome if you could bring back the hamster...Howdy, he gave his life to help me, to save me from the bullet. I owe it to him to atleast ask with Vega..." Axl'd say.
Slowly pulling his chains back together and reforming his baton from the two smaller batons on each end.
Everyone's celebrating would be shattered by that gruff and tough voice as Sol changed back to his human form. Starting to walk toward the weak form of That Man, a look that seemed to signify for sure that death was all that this Fiery American Badass had on his mind.
The powerful Fireseal still lit up in flames held in his right hand, those reddish-brown eyes staring right down at That Man's weak body.
"Pathetic...Look at you..."
"Tell me...Frederick...Are you...Going to kill me?" That Man said softly as he looked up at Sol.
Sol was going to be quiet now as he slowly raised the flaming Fireseal up, and brought it down in a slashing motion but stopped only a foot away from hitting That Man in the neck in an almost-seemingly successful attempt at decapitation.
"Tch...You didn't even flinch..." Sol said as he turns around and starts to walk away. Slipping his free gloved hand into his pocket as he shut off the flames of the Fireseal. "I'll wait till you're more ready...Bastard...The day I come back for you, you'll get it..." Something about Sol seemed different though now.
About twenty feet away, Sol would stop and look back at That Man, a smug look on his face.
