A Carnival in Darkness: Part 73

Hamtaro got really scared seeing the transformed Bison. He stands on Axl's shoulder shivering as he watches Bison and That Man's fight, however he would also be willing to sacrifice his life to help his hero Axl just like Howdy did. Boss gives orders for him and all the other hamsters to form a huge huddle around Axl, shielding Axl just in case anything bad came out of the fight they could protect Axl.

Sailor Pluto watches the fight between That Man and Bison. Her hair began flowing back as the power levels between the two titans collided. She stood her ground and watched. "This is something That Man has to win or else the entire Earth. No the entire Universe will be doomed."

Sephiroth handed the dead hamster back to Sailor Pluto as he was on guard watching Sol. He didn't trust Sol and he wanted to be sure that Sol would not betray them and attack That Man when he is most vulnerable. Sephiroth knew everyone was busy watching the fight but he instead was busy watching Sol.

Bison laughs as he feels the power flow inside of him. He used his new psycho powers to have the earth attack by That Man destroyed as he spun around to create a tornado. Once Bison stopped spinning he let mini tornados fire at light speed across the world destroying many major cities around the world and killing millions. Bison was enjoying the slaughtering. "Last chance That Man. Surrender to Shadowlaw and I will make your death as painless as possible!" Bison reaches his arms to the sky to create a powerful gravitational pull. The entire sky turned black as it was covered with dark clouds. Bison laughs as he was causing the Moon to come falling to the sky at a fast rate straight at That Man. If the Moon was allowed to crash with the Earth, the entire Earth could be destroyed.

**************************************

That Man was amazed at the display of power from Bison. Having to shield himself with much of the white magic that he knew in order to create a protective shield strong enough to handle the destructive tornados from Bison. "I...Will never surrender! As long as I breath, I shall fight!" That Man would say in response.

That Man would wait now for Bison's next move as he now saw what Bison was trying to do. Raising his own arms up into the air, That Man was going to use his black magic in order to set off the gravitational pull of the Earth in order to off-set the effects of Bison's powers to pull the Moon down toward the Earth.

Knowing that if the impact occured, then the Earth would be completely destroyed from it and that would end life as everyone knew it except for just a few.

"Bison! Stop this now! You'll kill us all!" That Man would scream as he dug deeper into his powers and would send electrical currents surging toward Bison, needing to draw his attention away so that he could send the Moon straight back into space in order to relieve one threat and focus on the major threat.

Sol didn't even flinch nor look up when the Moon started to plummet toward the Earth, knowing that That Man would be able to handle it himself, Sol was going to stand around watching for the moment that That Man was going to be left most vulnerable.

Every now and then looking to Sephiroth with a grin on his face as he was sure that the One-Winged Angel knew what he was thinking and of what he wanted to do after this battle.

**************************************

Sephiroth could read Sol's mind all too well and he would prepare himself to defend That Man if Sol dares to attack their leader. He only hope that Raven would catch on soon since the rest of them was too concentrated on watching Bison and That Man's fight. Watching Bison trying to destroy the Earth with a colliding planet brought back memories of when he wanted to do a similar thing way back. Sephiroth continued watching Sol and when he couldn't keep quiet any longer he spoke up. "Don't you dare think of harming That Man after the battle. That Man is a great hero and after all this is done you should bow to That Man and beg for forgiveness for your rudeness and disrespect. The people of Earth would gladly risk their own lives in order to protect That Man's."

Sailor Pluto only nods her head as she has also agreed to protect That Man, she knew how important That Man is to this time period. Like the fight with Bison there will be other disasters that That Man must face and prevail over.

"If that is your decision then the Earth and everyone in it will die with you! Once I destroy the Earth, I will rebuild on a new planet a perfect Shadowlaw one where the only living being is myself! I won't stop with the Earth, all other realms will taste my new psycho powers and die too!" Bison continues his psychotic laugh. To show he means business he also used his dark clouds that was covering the entire Earth to rain an extremely toxic acid that caused billions of innocent people to die instantly. Bison laughs as the moon was getting closer but why stop with the moon? Bison gained control of the sun and pulled the sun closer to the Earth at light speed, all ready destroying Mars and Mercury; the Earth will be next to burn to a crisp. "Are you ready for a BBQ, That Man?"

Hamtaro takes quick action. He found a huge sheet of metal and picking it up with the help of all the other hamsters, Hamtaro uses the sheet of metal to shield and protect Axl as well as Sailor Pluto, Sephiroth, Raven and every one of That Man's associates, followers even his enemy Sol.

**************************************

"Tch...Like I give a damn what you have to say...Boyscout." Sol retorted to Sephiroth in that gruff tone of his. Showing utter disrespect and his anti-social behavior brought on by years of being a part of the crusades, knowing that all of it was partially his fault, as well as the fault of That Man and Aria, all three who had worked on the Gear Project and all having a part in the destruction of the future...

Sol as the Prototype to prove it was possible to make Gears... That Man who would continue the project and make it a success... And Aria as the one who would become the Command Gear Justice...

All of those were serious burdens upon their lives, and all would most likely come to be the source of their ends...As it already had come for Aria in her death at Sol's hands and if Sol had his way, the Gear Project's remaining members would all be able to perish into the corridors of the past if he killed That Man and went off into secrecy.

As Sol was under the sheet of metal with everyone else, he was going to walk out into the poisonous rain, coughing as it seemed to sizzle on his skin. His whole body turning red before he burst into flames. Initializing his Dragon Install mode as he turned into that scaled dragon Gear he truly was. His body now so hot that the rain would turn into steam before it could make contact with his body.

Now Frederick was going to make his way toward That Man and Bison...His intentions? No one could exactly know at this point as his Fireseal was a raging inferno being carried in his very claw.

"Stop this now, Bison! You have no idea what you're doing!" That Man screamed to Bison as he saw the death and the destruction being caused by Bison, unable to handle such an atrocity as he even turned and saw the effects of Bison pulling the very Sun closer toward them. "No..." That Man uttered to himself.

The poison seemed to be kept off of That Man's body in decent amounts by his robes, as well as the fact that his body was immune to sickness and toxicity, another way he had been damned by the Gods to suffer his life in shame. To die...He'd have to be killed, but human nature made one desire to survive. So of course, that kept That Man alive in hopes to fix all problems for this long.

Turning in the direction of the Sun, That Man was going to raise his robed hands and begin to repel the gravity in order to push the Earth back as he couldn't stop the Sun as it was in too much of a rampage toward the Earth, so That Man's only choice was the reverse the gravity and make it where the Earth could only be pushed away to maintain it's safe distance from the Sun. And with that in place, That Man turned around toward Bison.

"You are a monster...Through and true, you are. I believe only I can really see to this end...Like the Crusades, this is all rooted to my existence...I am the traitor of mankind...The plague laying in wait...I attract death and destruction in my simple quest for redemption...But nevermore shall I allow it..." That Man would say softly as he became silent.

Starting to step toward Bison as his magical power was taking literal shape around his body, unleashing it in full as That Man knew that the only way he and the rest of the Earth...No...The rest of all existing life could hope to survive, was if he pushed himself to the limits and killed Bison.

"I am the deceiver of all mankind, Bison...You are the monster who lays before me...To be prepared as a sacrifice to all higher beings above me..." He would say as he swung a hand forward and would cause winds to pick up in the shapes of bladed typhoons, hoping to cause Bison to take a more defensive stance on this.

Under the sheet of metal, Raven was going to do his best to upkeep the safety of this. Using some of the protective magic he knew to create a magical shield around them all in hopes of protecting them. Only further being supported by the help of Axl.
