Interlude - Oblivion

The Entity known as Oblivion Halts its strikes as the Bringer of False Hope and the Guardian from Deltae launch another strike of their own.

As host to a Manifestation of Hope, the Bringer of False Hope is one of the only forces in this universe able to Sever or Shatter parts of Oblivion’s being at all. The Guardian from Deltae wields one of the Good Swords, one of the most effective ways to Disbond an Entity, in addition to having been around for three billion years.

That is even longer than Oblivion or any of the other Entities that Oblivion knows. The Guardian from Deltae is truly ancient.

The Devouring of this Planet is going poorly for the Oblivion Entity. It should have chosen a weak Planet, one which did not naturally have Powers. Those Planets that have natural Power will surprise those that strike them with what they have to Defend themselves.

This Planet had Seven Beings with the Power to Sever or Shatter Oblivion, but the Oblivion Entity has already costumed all, but the Bringer of False Hope and the Monster of Rage and Wrath. The Guardian from Deltae does not count as it is from the Planet Deltae, not this Planet.

Oblivion is at least thankful for the fact this Planet lacks Divine Beings, Native or otherwise.

Luckily for the Oblivion Entity, the Strongest of those that may Sever or Shatter it, the Monster of Rage and Wrath, is uninterested in Halting the Devouring of this Planet unless Oblivion directly threatens the Monster of Rage and Wrath.

Oblivion is Sated to leave the Monster of Rage and Wrath be. It can either be left on the Empty Planet once the Planet has been Consumed or Consumed itself when the Oblivion Entity is too Strong for it to Resist and all others have fallen.

The Oblivion Entity deflects the Hope-Powered Energy with a Sphere of Deflect and a Sphere of Rebound.

As the Bringer of False Hope absorbs the Rebounded Hope-Powered Energy, Oblivion calculates that using a Sphere of Rebound it was not the best idea. Perhaps a Sphere of Absorption would have been a better choice.

Oblivion is distracted as another of the natives with Power attacks him. Annoyance at most, but a distraction at the wrong time could give another of Oblivion’s attackers an opening to exploit.

Oblivion unleashes a Star of Incineration at the Native with Power, Crushing and Destroying the Native with Power.

But the Native with Power provided a distraction for the Guardian from Deltae as the Guardian from Deltae Severs several Spheres, Stars and Worlds from the Oblivion Entity.

The Oblivion Entity uses a World of Portals and a Star of Destination to open an Interdimensional Portal to another Planet. One that doesn’t have any natural Power to it.

As Oblivion enters the portal, the Guardian from Deltae and the Bringer of False Hope launch another strike. The Oblivion Entity will not let these two stop it from escaping.

Oblivion does not hold back and neither do the Guardian from Deltae or the Bringer of False Hope.
Three Stars of Incineration, a World of Breaking, Two Spheres of Energy, a Star of Energy, a Sphere of Flames, Two Worlds of Fire and a Star of Death is what the Oblivion Entity sends at the Guardian from Deltae while it sends Two Worlds of Death, a Sphere of Focus, Four Stars of Disruption, Three Stars of Dispersal and a Sphere of Breaking at the Bringer of False Hope.

Despite Resistance from her Host, the Bringer of False Hope ends her strike in favour of protecting herself while the Guardian from Deltae weathers Oblivion’s strike to continue their strike on the Oblivion Entity.

Oblivion feels the Links being Severed by the Good Sword of the Guardian from Deltae as it goes through the Interdimensional Portal. But the Guardian from Deltae fared little better as their host is Broken by the Strike of the Oblivion Entity.

As it feels itself Disbonding, Oblivion watches the Guardian from Deltae attempt to come after the Oblivion Entity despite being Broken and almost Death. The Weaken Bringer of False Hope moves to support the Broken Guardian from Deltae.

Then something unexpected happens. The Manifestation of Hope abandons her Host, taking most of the Host’s Spirit in the Process and Shattering the Rest.

The Whole Thing irks the Oblivion Entity. When one chooses a Host, they should stick with that Host through Trouble and Turmoil. Not just Abandon them when Trouble and Turmoil starts.

Now the Disbonding Oblivion Entity is trapped in the middle of the Interdimensional Portal with the Shattered Host and the Broken Guardian from Deltae. The Entrance has closed while the Exit remains open.

As more of his Spheres, Stars and Worlds are Severed and Shattered as the Oblivion Entity Disbonds, Oblivion watches the Guardian from Deltae leave the Broken Lawman from Earth as she goes to the Shattered Hope.

As Oblivion drifts through the Interdimensional Portal, the Oblivion Entity realises that the Guardian from Deltae will Arrive on the same Planet as Oblivion will Arrive if there is a bit of a delay in the process.

As the Disbonded Oblivion Entity watches the Good Sword break away from it and drifts back into the Interdimensional Portal.

The Oblivion Entity fades as the last of its Spheres, Stars and Worlds Sever and along with the Shards and Fragments. But Oblivion realises it is not alone. Several other Entities, the Devious and Selfish Eden Entity foremost among them, have arrived at this World at the same time.

Wrath and Rage Consumes Oblivion as realises that its fellow Entities were unwilling to save it, but are more than willing to exploits its Disbond.

The Wrath and Rage Stabilises the Oblivion Entity, but it is too late to save Oblivion. As it finally Disbonds, the Oblivion Entity looks at the Four Parts that remain due to the Last Moment Stabilisation.

A Sphere of Warrior, a World of Physics, a Star of Love and a World of Restoration.

Interlude - Thrust

Katherine Ford dashes as she turns the corner. She is in the lead and she isn’t just about to let James take first place at the end of the race. Especially after they went to all the trouble of clearing enough snow to make the race happen in the first place.

She briefly glances at the river running alongside the path with only a thin layer of ice above the freezing cold water. If Katherine fell into that, she doubts she could make it out alive. She would freeze to death before anyone fished her out.

Katherine grins as she spots the massive crowd and the finish line. She is going to win this one for sure.

Then it happens. Katherine missteps and slips on a small patch of ice on the path. She trips and stumbles, falling backwards over the edge.

Horror takes over her face as she realises that she is going to fall into the river. She’s going to die.

Then the world disappears in an instant, so fast that Katherine doesn’t even realise until after it happens. White nothingness now surrounds her as she floats in mid-air.

“Hello?” says Katherine, “Where am I? Anyone here?”

“I am,” replies a genderless, humming voice, “And you are at your Empowerment as it is known in your tongue.”

Katherine spins around to face a glowing humanoid being with its features concealed by its light.

“Who are you? demands Katherine in a wondrous tone, “What do you mean? Am I getting powers?”

“If that is what you wish to call them, then yes,” replies the being, “As for who I am, call me Eden if you wish. It is the name given to me by humans.”

“What are you?” asks Katherine, incredulous.

“First you must answer one of my questions,” the being tells her, “How would you choose you fate?”

“My fate?” repeats Katherine.

Yes,” says the being.

“What does that mean?” asks Katherine, but the being remains silent, “Hello?”

Eden is still quiet and unresponsive.

“If I remember correctly I was falling to my death, I was going to crash into the river and I wouldn’t get out in time before I died,” Katherine says to herself, “What I need to avoid falling into the river.”

“My fate would be to move myself to safety,” Katherine declares to Eden.

“And thus it is decided,” rumbles the being as it reaches out and clasps a gleaming silver sphere out of itself.

Eden holds the sphere to Katherine and enthralled by it, the young woman reaches out and grabs a hold of it with both hands.

She feels the power rushing through her body as the sphere liquefies and the silver fluid flows into her.

Katherine feels her body, no, her very being changing as she and sphere become one. She can feel an instinctive gasp of her power filling her mind. Katherine can now unleash thrusts of kinetic energy from her body. These thrusts can vary in size, position, duration, force and direction with no limit that she can think.

And that’s not all as Katherine can feel other powers appearing. Enhanced senses and reflexes so she can more effectively use her thrusts, a sense of both physical and mental balance so she can safely user her thrusts without throwing up or feeling sick. She also has a body capable of safely withstanding the high speeds, the sudden tones and lack of breathing that come about as a result of using her power.

Oh how wonderful her new body is.

Katherine looks down at her. Lush, shining black hair going down to her hind while her skin is gleaming and prefect. Her brown eyes are wonderfully bright while figure is so very shapely while remaining extremely slender now.

Just how she imagined her prefect body.

This is wonderful! exclaims Katherine, Hopefully people will still believe I’m still me and I doubt any of my old clothes will fit me now. It will cost a lot to by new ones.

“I am glad you are happy,” says Eden with a smile, “Now it is time for you to return Sphere of Thrust.”

Wait! says Katherine, You still haven’t answered my question!

“I am a being made of power, just one amongst my kin,” replies Eden, “Known as an Entity.”

The world reappears and Katherine blinks. She has her new body. She can tell due to being able to sense every part of her body. She somehow knows it even better than her old one. In fact, Katherine has an instinctive grasp of her how all of her powers work despite only have just getting them.

The world has slowed down around her due to her increased reaction time, an effect of her new superhuman reflexes.

A few small and quick bursts up and forward quickly bring Katherine back to the road as the other joggers catch up with where she was. Several members of the crowd at the finish line have rushed forward to help her and Katherine is certain that her Empowerment as Eden called it was caught on camera.

At least she can prove who is even with her changed body. Otherwise people might not believe that she is who is.

“Kath!” yells her sister, Megan, “Are you okay? What happened to you?”

Katherine tries to reply, but no sounds come out of her mouth. She begins to panic as she tries to speak again, but fails. Has she lost the ability to speak? Because it seems like she has to Katherine.

Katherine unleashes a silent wail as sound continues to refuse to come out of her mouth as she flies forward across. Her power works exactly as Katherine wants it to, without any conscious input.

Katherine grabs a hold of her sister and embraces her in a hug.
