The Final Confrontation?

"Se... Seymour?" He didn't answer. He simply walked to where I knew Void and Osiris were fighting. As I lay bleeding to death I thought to myself... 'Is this the end?' An explosion that reverberated throughout the battlefield indicated that it wasn't as I closed my eyes and slipped into unconsciousness.

(Void POV)

I panted as I once again traded blows with Osiris. He was good, I'll give him that. He seemed rather scared once Set was released however, perhaps he didn't have full control over him? It didn't really matter to me. All that mattered was that I killed him. I swung my sword for his side, he used his dagger to block before swiping at my midsection with it. I was beginning to grow annoyed at his constant tactic of block and counter-attack. He was reminding me of someone I used to know who did the same tactic. Before I had time to think of another attack, he charged for a stab at my chest. I quickly parried and slashed at his legs, managing to cut one of them.

"You're the best fight I've had in a long time, son of Poseidon..." He seemed to drag on my former father's name, as he knew it would cause me anger. I didn't get angry like he expected, and I could see the surprise on his face. I grinned.

"Not what you expected eh? You honestly think this fight will be-" I cut off as I felt something. It was Jecht's energy... and it was fading rapidly! I immediately turned towards Osiris.

"What did Set do?! Why is Jecht dying?!" My voice probably sounded frantic to him, Jecht was my closest friend after I joined Chaos. Osiris simply laughed at my despair.

"It seems like Set has ended the poor warrior's life... a pity. He was serving a dying cause anyway... his death will not stir any emotions." That sentence... was the final straw. You can threaten me all you want... but when you harm my friends... I couldn't think rationally anymore. I quickly put away my sword, knowing I wouldn't need it anymore. I drew my hands back as Chaos' words flowed into my mind.

Flashback

I gasped in exhaustion as Chaos backed off from his assault. He simply grinned and told me to rest for the day. I looked up at him.

"What was that? That... burst of energy?" If possible, his grin widened even further. He simply explained it to me as it was.

"That... was something known as the Great Seal. To release it will expand your power immensely, however, there is obviously a cost. To release the Seal... is to release your emotions as well, and let them control your actions. It would take a being higher than yourself to put the Seal back in place. Void... this is one of the few times I'll say this... Only use such a technique... if your life is in true peril, for... if you use it... you will end up destroying those around you..." The seriousness in his voice immediately ended any joy in the area. I simply nodded my head at the statement... It sounded so morbid... to use such a thing... why... do I even have such a power?

End Flashback

I knew why I had it... it was for moments like this... moments when my friends are in danger... I need to use it. I drew my hands back and placed them on my head, Osiris grew confused to what I was doing.

"You must've gone insane... You think you can win? Just look around you!" I did as he said and looked... to the average eye, we were fighting a losing battle. Campers lay around, dead or unconscious, I knew not. The hunters were in the same situation. Buildings were on fire, including the Big House. Chiron was surrounded, and slowly being overwhelmed, along with the Satyrs.

"You of all people should know Osiris... not to underestimate me!" "Releasing the Great Seal! Restriction 666 Released! Dimensional Interference Field deployed! Activate!" With those words, I was suddenly surrounded in a torrent of black and purple energy, the seal allowing the power to course through my body. I could feel my energy rising, well beyond what the Egyptians and the Greeks were capable of, put together! I simply glared at Osiris, my eyes taking on a red iris with a purple sclera. I opened my voice to speak at Osiris, as well as gaining the attention of all the beings nearby, including an approaching Set.

"This is the end! There is nothing you can do now!" I quickly formed a black blade of energy from the surroundings, still teeming with it from my release of the seal. I quickly dashed towards Osiris, who was unable to keep up, and slashed at his neck. At first nothing happened, but then, in an instant, Osiris began to disintegrate into black dust.

"Da-damn it! How could I ha..ve lost?" He quickly faded into nothingness, not recieving any response to his question. Set simply shrugged at the loss of his brother.

"I told that fool... He didn't listen. It's no shame... You will fall... just as Jecht did." Those words... I quickly dashed at him, intent on doing the same to him as I did to Osiris. To my shock, he simply raised a hand and stopped it with his index finger.

"Did you think... such a trick would work on me?" As he said the words, a gash appeared across my chest. I quickly stumbled back, although it instantly healed, I still felt the pain. I glared at him with my demonic eyes, and quickly thought of a new attack. I dispersed the energy blade and raised my hand, quickly, energy formed into a ball at the end of my hand.

"This is the end... Goodbye... 'king' of the Egyptians." Set simply raised an eyebrow. His eyes widened several minutes later. I was suddenly in front of him, the ball positoned below his chin. He tried to move, but by then, an energy beam fired out of my hand, point blank. An explosion occured causing dust to stir up in the area. After a few minutes, I saw what I wanted to see. Set was dead, and the invasion was over. With the fall of the gods, the Ushabti quickly fell to pieces around us, the monsters also scattered and quickly retreated. As I started to move away, I felt a sudden tug at my hand. I looked and the energy was receding, heading into my body. I recalled Chaos' words of wisdom once more.

Flashback

"Chaos?" I was resting from the training session, bleeding from several new cuts gained from sparring with Chaos and Jecht at the same time. Not a good idea... He looked up from the sword he was cleaning.

"What is it Void?" His voice had the same fatherly tone as it had once I first came here.

"How do I know when I'm ready to assume your position?" He laughed at the question.

"There is no true way of knowing that... but a good first step is to master using the Great Seal. You remember how I told you that when you release the Seal, someone needs to reseal it?" I nodded my head.

"Well, when you master it, It shows that your emotions no longer have reign over you. and that you can reseal it yourself." I smiled, knowing what to aim for now.

End Flashback

The smile that was on my face that day returned. I had done it, I had mastered the Great Seal. It wasn't an easy feat, but I guess... I'm free now. My emotions no longer rule me... I'm one step closer to becoming what Chaos wants me to be. I sighed as the energy finished returning to my body, the weariness suddenly catching up with me, I nearly stumbled and fell over. I only stayed standing through sheer willpower. Suddenly I remembered something very important...

"Jecht!" I quickly rushed over to my fallen friend's side. He was bleeding heavily from a massive wound in his stomach. He looked over at me and flashed his trademark cheesy grin.

"Hey... Hero. Guess I bit off too much eh?" He tried to laugh but instantly stopped and coughed up blood. I quickly moved my hands over his wound and tried to heal him, but he stopped me.

"Why... Why won't you let me heal you?!" My voice was frantic, I didn't want to lose another friend, not after all I had lost. Jecht smiled sadly at me.

"Void... You've been a great friend... but... I want to see my son again... I've been immortal for so long... I'm tired... and I need to see if he isn't a 'crybaby' anymore. You remember our first fight? The way you used water, especially when you made it into a blade... you reminded me so much of him... but that's over now... I want to see him again... please don't deny me this..." The tone of his voice nearly sent me over the edge, as tears began to blur my vision. I wanted to say no and heal him anyway, but I knew that he wouldn't want that. I simply watched as he bled out, and then started to fade.

"Thank you... I know it'll be a long time... but I'll see you... on the other side..." He grinned at me, as he dissolved into several balls of light and floated away. I tried to maintain my composure, but I knew it wasn't going to happen. Nebula walked over, limping slightly from the constant fighting she endured. She put a hand on my shoulder, as I dissolved into a sobbing fit. I'm not sure how long it lasted, but after what felt like years to me, I stood up, and left the battlefield. It was over, and we were victorious.

AN: It's been... sooooo long. Sorry for the very long, and I mean VERY long break but school can be very hectic. I've also been coding things for a friend and putting in overtime at a nearby computer store to try and make enough money for next semester. I've also decided, rather stupidly, to help moderate a few RP forums and an anime forum. Well, I'm back and you can expect a epilogue sometime soon.

Side note: I was listening to the BlazBlue OST: Shinsou while writing this. See if you can spot the reference.
