The Battle (Kinda)

"Cause that will stop me."

Caseda rended the reality the made Ix's form. He broke his way to the no-dachi orb, and grabbed it.

"It's over kevin, if I kill you, you can't do my job for me."

Caseda smiled.

"Go ahead, break the orb. It won't kill me or even slow me down for more than a few hours. You see I've hidden contless pieces of my body throughout the multi-verses. Each one can reprocess itself into me instantly. Once I'm reformed all I have to do is repair the orb in a few seconds and I'll be back. As I said, I will not run, and now I'm not going to go easy on you either." Ix liquidates the orb and spreads it throughout his body. At the same time he engulfs Caseda with DA blades running with the electrical current of Areelia conduited throughout his body.

Caseda shattered Kevin, every last bit in the vicinity.

He than reappeared near one of his "satellites"

"And now, and whole piece of you is destroyed. I can do that enough times to finish you off if need be."

"You can't destroy them all. But no matter. You won fair and square." Holds out hand as the orb fragments rematerialize and go back into his being. "As was our deal I owe you one favor. Name it."

Caseda turned back.

"Come with me, back to where we were."

"Ok, so here we are. What is it you would have me do?"

Caseda ever so gently picked up the light blue orb from earlier.

"Funny, how I am entrusting you with this, but I know you will keep your word."

He handed the orb to Kevin.

"Protect it until it leaves of its own accord. Pleas."

Tears seem to well in his eyes.

"Something very important to me, and until it's ready, it'll need a guardian, and I can't stay any longer."

Caseda started to walk away, but then looked back.

"And there is still some good in you Kevin. Believe or nor."

Then he disappeared.

"You're wrong caseda, I always had some good in me." A single silvery tear slid down Ix's cheek.
