Previous Chapter Next Chapter

As Daniel stood still and stared down King N, he felt his body was burning with energy. Every single part of him was shouting at him that he needed to move as the sheer amount of energy he felt almost made it impossible to stay still, but his focus on King N and what movement he made next was one of the things that kept him still. Along with feeling lightheaded and having a chill around his body, he done his best to not just go on the hyper offensive. At least not yet.

"Don't get cocky. This isn't over yet." As King N moved, Daniel saw what looked like a ghostly version of him, doing the motions King N was going to do before he actually done them. He had no trouble avoiding when King N charged forwards.

As Daniel focused on avoiding, he could feel his other senses trying to push into his mind. Like a bad thought that you know is bad but you suppress it before it fully comes into your mind. He felt his sense of feel, hearing, seeing and all others trying to bombard him with a massive amount of information, but he kept them suppressed for now. Willing this battle was all that mattered.

As King N went in for a punch, Daniel blocked it by simply putting his hand in his bicep to stop the swing and then with his other hand he punched. He felt the power inside him was screaming to explode. To be let out. But he done all he could to hold it in as he didn't want to endanger the planet. So the punch he swung barely had half of his power, but it was more than enough to reduce King N's right mechanical arm to atoms as the moment his hand hit, the metal brightened up and vanished in a cloud.

As King N quickly replaced his missing arm, Daniel felt one of his senses get through his concentration and he gasped. It was like he could feel everything around him. That feeling you get when you are about to be touched is what he felt all around but at different distances. It was hard to block out but he shook his head and did his best. As he done this he felt a tingle on one of his shoulders, at the back. He moved to the side out of instinct and King N flew passed him, just missing him.

King N quickly recovered and fired a beam at Daniel, who raised a finger at it and as the beam hit his finger, it split down the middle. Daniel used this opportunity to rush forwards and punch King N's hand, reducing it to atoms like the other one.

Daniel looked at his hand as he was amazed at the power he was wielding, it was hard to contain but he felt like as long as he remained focused and on guard, he could contain it. This time he went on the offensive as he rushed forwards faster than King N could see and with a solid hit, punched his head clean off and it turned into atoms.

Daniel then waited to see if he could replace it, and sure enough he saw the metal was molding. Stretching itself from his shoulders into the shape of the head he just destroyed. As his head was repaired, King N backed away slightly to form a new plan of attack.


Archie placed Nature down on a bed next to the Nurse as he looked at her injuries. It was bad, but she was still breathing. If only slightly. "Ar...chie." She said weakly.

"What is it?" He asked as he sat beside her.

"He...he's done it....hasn't he?" Archie smiled and nodded. Opening a portal for her to see. She saw King N backing away from Daniel and Daniel was covered in a golden aura. His eyes still having pupils in them. Nature smiled weakly.

"He has done it. I don't know if it will be enough. But i will go and help if he needs it." Archie promised Nature.

"I...knew he...had it in him." Nature closed her eyes and went to sleep. A smile still on her face. Archie looked over at the nurse who was trying to tell him something. Following her eyes, he saw a small glowing orb. Earth.

Archie picked it up and put it on a nearby table. It was trapped in time and taken out of it's own space. It could be returned to before it was absorbed and everyone on the planet would think it was a bad dream. Sitting down between both of them he checked on the nurse who was awake and watching the fight in the portal. Nature was sleeping soundly, looking happy.

As Archie looked around, he realised the hangout was still ablaze so he decided to fix that.

"I'll get these flames put out." He said to the nurse as he went to fix the fire damage.


Daniel looked on at King N who was still on the offensive but Daniel was able to keep on seeing his attacks coming and even feel them. Every attack he couldn't see, he felt. It felt like a tingly feeling on his body that started to get more pressure on until he felt his own body react or he reacted himself to move away from the spot that tingled, only for him to see an attack a moment later.

He could still feel that there was more senses trying to push their way into his mind to be noticed, to be felt, but Daniel ignored them for now as he looked at King N who was now trying once more to land a solid hit. Rushing forwards, Daniel saw it coming from the ghostly figure that showed his movements before he even made them and got out of the way.

Dispite how strong he was in this form, he still did his best to hold back as much as he could to avoid doing any more damage that what needed to be done to win. He didn't want to endanger this planet with power he forgot to regulate or that he couldn't control.

"Will you just fight?" King N said in what sounded like frustration.

"Fine." Daniel rushed forwards and landed a punch on the torso of the mechsuit, leaving a hole all the way through in it. He then launched a volley of punches with the same hand. Making sure to avoid the centre of the chest as that's where the control seat is. Soon he saw the mechsuit had about 13 holes in it and was starting to spark and shut off. King N tried to land a hit while Daniel was distracted with looking at the damage he done, but before his attack landed, Daniel was behind him in a moment and punched the spine of the mechsuit, right under the back of the neck.

As Daniel saw the suit was barely functioning he smiled, but he let his guard down and he felt some of the new senses attack him. He didn't know how to describe how he felt, but it was like he could feel the life forces around him. He could also feel the flow of time around him, like he was in a strong current or a windstorm but it wasn't touching him. It was overwhelming for him and he stood their, clenching his head as he tried to understand what he was feeling and how alien it was.

He then started to feel a tingly feeling on his back again and he rolled out of the way of an incoming attack from King N. "Try again." Daniel said as he delivered another punch to King N's chest. Once more a hole was left all the way through the suit as Daniel then kicked him in the face. Knocking him back before he stood up.

"I need a new approach." King N told himself as he switched one of his arms for the one that had the Morning Star weapon and as he threw it at Daniel a net was launched at him. Daniel saw this coming thanks to the ghostly vision showing him it would happen and caught the net with his mind and reflected it back, wrapping the morning star mace in it as electricity flared to life at a level of intensity and heat that turned the metal mace into liquid.

King N then launched a series of small flying drones out of a hatch on his shoulder and they all went right to Daniel. Each of them had different small weapons but all were using them in whatever way they could do harm him. A small plasma blade one was trying to stab his eyes and neck. Another small one had something like a flame thrower that was throwing some hot black substance at him. Daniel stood there as each of their attacks felt like small light touches to him. He just increased the temperature around him and they melted into silver puddles on the ground.

This is when King N looked at him with anger and started to fly upwards. Out of his shoulders came things that looked like tesla coils. All ships in the sky then burst to life with electricity compleatly covering them. As the electricity flowed into King N's suit it started to get brighter and glowing with heat.

"How about this then!?" The electricity soon stopped flowing into him and King N rushed forwards. Much faster then before but Daniel was still able to dodge it. His attacks were much faster then before and his punches were so power that all the punches he was throwing sent shock waves out for miles. Destroying large mountains miles away and some which were barely viable on the horizon.

Daniel followed with an uppercut in the elbow on one of the mechanical arms as another punch missed him and severed it off cleanly. King N backed out and raised a palm out to Daniel and the intense glowing from the suit stopped as he charged up a beam. Daniel saw that despite being 30 feet off of the ground, the ground was melting into magma from the heat that was being projected out from the beam being charged up.

Daniel saw the mechanical hand itself was also melting and he realised this blast might be bad for the entire planet. So he waited with a smile as King N finished charging it up. As King N fired it at Daniel, he simply opened a portal and sent the beam away.

"What? Did you think i would just stand there and take it?" Daniel said to King N as his suit seemed like it had just done and overcharge as it slouched down. After a few seconds it started to move, but much more slowly. There was no point in prolonging this fight anymore.

"Might as well finish this." Daniel said as he prepared to go in the offence. King N took a step back as Daniel got ready.

Quicker than he could calculate, Daniel rushed up to the front of King N and punched as hard as he could on the glass where the control seat was and he was soon face to face with a dark figure who he grabbed by the neck and ripped him out of the seat he was in and out of the suit.

The figure was wearing another suit that was more like armour than an mechsuit. Grabbing it by the helmet, Daniel ripped it off and saw a lizard like humanoid with reddish scales around his eyes. Daniel looked over him for a while until he saw he was struggling to breath and reduced the power of his grip.

"So...this is what you really look like?" Daniel asked as he felt...something. Some kind of power emitting from King N. As Daniel focused on the feeling he saw King n was covered in a dark blue aura and there was a stream going into him. This stream seemed to be giving him some power. But before Daniel could get it, he was knocked away as King N's hands were covered in a Dark blue energy.

As Daniel slid backwards, he found the attack to not hurt but it did annoy him. Looking back as King N he saw the stream of energy going into him had increased tenfold.

"It ends now heart bearer." He said in a low and angry voice.

"It does. For you." Daniel rushed forwards as fast as he could and as he saw King N was almost matching him in speed he realised he might not make it to the stream before King N gets to him.

"Stop!" Daniel called out in his mind. He didn't know why but he did and as he looked at King N he saw he had indeed stopped.

"What did you do?" He screamed at Daniel as even he ad no clue what he just did. Never the less he got to the stream and grabbed it. As he did he was immediately assaulted in his mind.

"Kill the Heart Bearer. Kill Him." Daniel felt this...whatever it was, was assaulting his mind and he was starting to get thoughts of self harm. As he pushed through those thoughts he saw King N was holding his head and screaming. His eyes changing colour as he did so.

He battled against the stream of energy, gripping it and trying to pull it apart. It was a strong stream but as he pulled at it he felt it slipping.

Just when Daniel felt it was about to break, he felt his mind fade and found himself in a dark blue bubble and a figure was in front of him that he recognised. A creature made of mist.

"Xaveroth?"

"My my Daniel. Look at you. Fully merged and got it under control. I am impressed." He said with an echoed chuckle.

"Wait. Why are you here from that..." Daniel's brain started to piece everything together. "You're controlling him!?"

"Correct. He has been under my control for so long." Xaveroth admitted with a smile

"How...why?" Daniel asked.

"How? Well simple. He was the bearer before your mother and he managed to beat me, but he was not skilled in mental defence so i took him over after he powered down, after damaging the heart. But the thing realised i took control and detached itself from King N."

"So all along? It's been you?" Xaveroth chuckled.

"I learned a lot about how the heart works from King N. Remember that glowing book you found a while back and when you showed it to Nature, she saw nothing?" Daniel nodded. "That was me. I put a part of myself in that book and added a special kind of energy signature which only the heart bearer would see. After making you think the 5th dimension had something to do with the hearts. You went and you took the piece of myself with you. Which restored me."

"All along you have been tricking me? I done all that stuff looking for answers and ended up helping you?"

"Ding Ding. We have a winner." Daniel felt the anger in his raise and threw a punch at Xaveroth who caught it with one hand. "See Daniel. Here's the thing." With a flick of his finger, he knocked Daniel back. "I have been waiting a long time to reclaim what i lost and now that i have it. I ain't going to let you take it away." Daniel saw Xaveroth rushed up to him and punch him a few times. He lucky managed to block all of them, but his palms were left numb.

"Was it you who...burnt Nature?"

"Correct again. My My you are a Einstein aren't you?" Daniel felt his rage begin to boil. "Getting angry won't do anything." Xaveroth teleported in front of him and with a touch of his hand, Daniel felt his entire body tense up as energy covered him fully, then he exploded. Backing off a bit, Daniel tried to calculate his next attack.

"You know full well from that attack that i am on a different level." Xaveroth told him confidently. Daniel tried once more and with all the speed he could muster, rushed behind Xaveroth and tried to punch him in the back but Xaveroth ducked forwards and brought his elbow backwards and into Daniels chest. With a cracking sound. Daniel was knocked back.

This caused Daniel to stumble back and try to make a new plan of attack, but before he could he do that felt himself get ripped out of the mind connection he was in and soon found himself back on the battlefield. Looking around he saw Blade had managed to sever the connection and rip the stream apart.

Daniel watched the dark blue stream vanish into nothingness and then looked back at King N who was now unconscious. He didn't know how to feel. He wasn't in control of his actions but Daniel still felt hatred burning in him. He done his best and managed to suppress that feeling. Bravacho had been through a lot and if this gave him his dad back then that would be a good thing. And the last thing he wanted to do was break apart a family after just getting his, and his whole home planet back.

All the soldiers on the battlefield looked on at Daniel with shock. He had won. It was over. They all place their weapons on the ground and all the ships overhead stopped firing. They surrendered. Daniel looked down at King N and sighed.

"I hope i don't regret this." He picked him up and took him to the entity hangout.


Xaveroth chuckled.

"Daniel has grown stronger. This is good. All i have to do now is beat him when i put my plan into action." A guard appeared before Xaveroth and saluted

"Sir. It's ready for transport."

"Alright. Get it moving." The guard left soon after and Xaveroth looked on the palace he lived in. Soon he would have a new home consisting of much more power. But the one thing he was still worried about was that warrior. Who was it? Where was it?

"I will look into that later. For now...i think i will pay Nature a visit soon. I mean. I need to give Daniel a reason to go after me." He smiled as he got ready to move to the Dark Multiverse.


Daniel arrived at the entity hangout. It was all black and burnt, but the fires were put out. Looking at the unconscious King N he was holding he decided to thrown him on a sofa that he saw was undamaged and Bravacho, along with Blade was right behind him.

Daniel looked at his hand and still felt the power flowing through him. He let the power go and returned to normal. With a relaxed sigh, he slouched. Walking to the medical wing, he left Bravacho with his dad as Daniel was desperate to see Nature.

When he arrived he saw her laying on the medical bed. Looking much worse than he remembered. Placing a hand on her, her skin felt more like a rock than actual flesh but the moment his hand touched her, one of her eyes opened and looked right at him.

"Daniel?" She said weakly as a smile appeared on her face and he returned it. Nature herself didn't know if she was dreaming so she moved a little and as she felt the pain shoot through her from the burns, she knew she wasn't dreaming.

"Stay still. You need rest after that attack you took. It's nice to see you're still alive after taking that directly. Even if you look awful." She let out a faded chuckle.

"You...won?" She asked.

"Yes. I did." Daniel told her as he looked at her burnt hand and gently took it in his own. interlocking their fingers.

"I knew you could." He felt her grip slightly increase. Nature closed her eyes and fell back asleep. Daniel gently moved her burnt hand close to her stomach area and rested his head on the wall next to her bed. She was sleeping peacefully and with a smile on her face. One of relief. Daniel lay back and closed his eyes as he decided to rest his eyes, but he got relaxed enough that he started to drift off to sleep.
