Red holstered his shotgun and walked back down the mountain.
"no one can stand in my way. Even you."
He shook his head. "Damn Pokémon battles, didn't even make sense anyway." | Wait said he clenching his ethereal fists and made a surprise scoop before which I could summon an ifrit which was strangled to death and made me so angry that I took a heavy breath and released with a fraction of my might an oozing part of the 'you know what lies outside the non-existent universe' which he demystified... | |
[WP] A duel with your arch-nemesis. You're both so immensely powerful it does not even make sense. | It was chaos.
The ground twisted and torn like a creature in it's death throws. Forests burned, oceans dried up, mountains crumbled away like sand in the wind. Pockets of life scrambled for shelter, but there was none. With every moment millions of lives met their end, and billions more were soon to follow.

[WP] A duel with your arch-nemesis. You're both so immensely powerful it does not even make sense. | It was always something, some days it just felt better for both of us to admit we were wrong and go our own way, but we were always stubborn.

[WP] A duel with your arch-nemesis. You're both so immensely powerful it does not even make sense. | Suddenly nothing happened. There wasn't nothing, I wasn't in a void. It's that I was nothing. The bastard retconned me out of existence.
