Cronos- Let's end this now, kid. (Cronos with his weapon attacked him from behind)
[Cronos (The God Of Time) weapon is a huge sickle/scythe, glows white.]
Liam instantly took his sword out from a thin air and without even looking behind stop the attack of Cronos with his weapon, Cronos falls back a little!
Cronos- Interesting Kid! You have my respect that in 1 week of training you managed to block my attack. But let you know that this is nothing and I'm just having a fun with you.
Liam- I wonder how you are so confident? You can see the future of this battle outcome with your ability right?! So did you saw yourself winning against me?
Cronos- Kid! Watch your tone. I am a God. I don't need to look into the future to know the outcome, I can create my own outcome on my will. Just as I said before I'm just respecting your strength and having a little fun with you. If I want I'll crush you in the next second.
Liam- Bring it on you big talk.
[Liam and Cronos both attacked each other with their weapon while moving in super sonic speed. They both clashed their weapons again and again. The interaction of their weapons clashing were destroying the surroundings].
Cronos- You are fast kid! But you can't stand against my next attack. [He created a spear type attack with his weapon which will easily destroy the city] He threw that attack towards Liam.
"Liam stood there vanishing his sword by releasing it and destroyed Cronos attack with his bare hands"
Cronos- Wait? How? [Shocked and In disbelief] How can he even move and do like that? It's impossible. I can see it with my own eyes but is hard to believe.
[Before Cronos even think, Liam run straight into him and summon his sword again. He attacked Cronos from all the direction while moving now in speed of light].
Cronos- This is too much! He is not giving me any openings. If I let my defense down he'll straight cut me with his sword. And also about his weapon, Its not an ordinary sword. If I let my guard down it can even kill me. But how? How this kid have that sword and even though he have, there is no way he have that strength to wield this god slaying weapon.
[Liam attacked him with more speed and each clash of their weapons is so strong that Cronos have to grip his weapon with more strength to not loose it. His hands started bleeding].
Cronos- I was wrong about him. It was me who underestimated him. He is growing more as he fights. Only few minutes passed and he already surpassed me in terms of physical capabilities. If this goes on I'll definitely die. It is such a shame that I the God Of Time have to use that in front of a kid.
[Liam is about to attack his destructive blow but suddenly got stopped in middle]
Cronos- You have my great respect kid to let me use my time stop against you! If you weren't a threat Liam, I'll make you a God and we both will easily rule the heaven together. But unfortunately (Huh!) I guess this is the end. But before that let me tell you something as I know you are still conscious to my words. I enjoy battles a lot. And you know what I love about battles is not winning, [Cronos smiles in a creepy way and said] Its Fear. Fear in my enemies eyes. The more they fear, the more I enjoy to kill them. I wish that we have more time to talk, But I don't have interest to waste my time on a lowly human. [Cronos lift his weapon up and about to hit Liam's head with all his force].
"Liam instantly moves in such a high speed which almost feels like he teleported behind Cronos and cut his right eye with his sword."
Cronos- [Groans In pain while holding his right eye ] Argh! (He falls back more) No! This can't be. How can he move? Does his strength surpassed my time ability? No, He can't! No amount of strength will surpass my time ability.
Wait, This is impossible. Dwan, Is that you? But how? You are out with having an actual physical body!
Dwan- BINGO! You finally got me. But I'm disappointed Cronos that it took you so much time to identify me.
[Cronos felt something in his body for the first time and he can't stop shaking]. What is happening to me? What is this sensation?
Dwan- Its fear Cronos. Today I'll let you taste what you love the most in others. You wanted to see me trembling and begging in fear. Let me tell you something Cronos, "I fear only God, not his creations."
[Dwan attacked him again and took out his other eye too, Cronos screamed in pain again]
Cronos- No No No, I can't lose. Not against a fraud kid. [Cronos healed both of his eyes back in an instant while screaming as he still feels the pain. He looked back at Dwan and saw him sitting on the ground while doing nothing].
(Cronos shouted) Don't you dare mock me. [He attacked him again with his weapon and Dwan is simply dodging each and every hit of him effortlessly].
Dwan- Come on God Of Time! You can do better. I know you are still hiding something. Use it on me before I kill you.
Cronos- Guess ,You left me no choice. I don't want to use this attack as this is my final trump card which will affect me in a huge amount too. [Cronos merge his weapon with his own soul and created an aura which shapes like a clock] This attack will stop everything of you including your blood flow, heartbeat, brain, nerves and every single cell. Also it will age you till you meet your death. I avoid this attack usually as it takes too much of my divine energy and left me with no energy at all. [He attacked Dwan with it]
[Dwan takes his stance holding the sword while keeping his 1 hand on the handle and other on the tip of the blade. He slashed his attack and there was a big blast, A huge black smoke was there because of the clash. Cronos Laughed and said, "HAHAHA! Its over. I mean its not worth to go all out in front of him but at least I didn't lost].
[Slowly the smokes getting cleared and its more visible to Cronos]
Cronos- [In shock and he laughed looking at him] How? HAHA! I..., I put everything I got in this fight and still he is standing there without a single scratch. Hey Dwan! Before you kill me how did you do that?
Dwan- Do what?
Cronos- You know using that child's body!
Dwan- Argh! Guess I can tell you as you will no longer be alive in few minutes.
[Flashback of Liam and Dwan talking inside that abandon building after Liam runs away from his house and starts practicing his powers with Dwan]
Liam- If my sword is immune but not me then what am I even training for? To get one shot by him. Huh!
Dwan- There is a way Liam, but I don't think you'll be able to choose that path. Its just too difficult.
Liam- I don't care about how difficult it is, Countering his time ability and defeating him is my prior goal. Tell me Dwan! I promise that I'll do it.
Dwan- Okay! You remember Liam that I'm immune to every godly attacks and can counter his ability at ease.
Liam- Yes! You told me, but you didn't explain me that how you can counter all godly attacks. You know Dwan, actually I don't even know how you are so powerful and have the ability to counter every godly attacks. Who are you exactly?
Dwan- There is no time to explain this Liam. When the fights get over I'll explain you everything. Right now focus on what I'm about to say.
Liam- Yeah Yeah! Go on. Tell me how I can defeat him?
Dwan- Not you Liam, But I! I'll defeat him. We will switch each other's position. You know let me fight instead of you.
Liam- [Looks confused and irritated] What the fuck do you mean by switch positions?! If you can fight in place of me then why did you make me do all those trainings. You know for an average 15y/o child how difficult it is to sit at one place for 5 hours doing nothing but only meditating. Dwan, I really feel like punching you right now. You even told me those stupid stuffs that You don't have any physical body and only soul Blah Blah Blah! Well, I'm actually relieved now. I can finally live a normal life and when that God will come to fight, We will switch our positions. HAHAHA! Its easy.
Dwan- [Shouted] Its not easy as it may looks Liam. I told you that it is difficult for you too. And I cant just switch our positions on my will. There are conditions which we have to follow.
Liam- What are the conditions? How we can both switch our positions?
Dwan- Sacrifice Liam. Tell me what you love the most in your life?
Liam- Umm! My collection of Manga's, Video games, Soccer kit. I think that's it.
Dwan- So if someone steal or throw these stuffs of yours, will you be in grief? I mean will you suffer from it for the rest of your life?
Liam- What stupid question is this? I will be upset if someone will do that but I can buy another and replace it with the old ones.
Dwan- Then it is not the most important in your life. Tell me something which is connected to your soul as if anyone will apart you from that your life will never be the same and it hurts you for the rest of your life.
Liam- There is not much thing Dwan. I guess if I've to answer then My mother, father and Aoi. Although whatever my mother did, I still can't live without her.
Dwan- Exactly Liam. You have to sacrifice one of them.
Liam- Sacrifice? Means I don't have to talk with them again? Say it clear Dwan. I can't understand it properly.
Dwan- You know Liam, when the 2nd calamity appeared and Akumaa stopped that. Basically he chanted a binding vow where to get something a particular person must have to sacrifice what he loves the most. Akumaa is a ruthless and evil persona who don't have any close ones. All he think about is himself only. He sacrificed himself to help everyone from the calamity and let his soul distribute in all of the citizens of Japan. Just like that Liam, To gain something you must have to sacrifice. If we both have to switch our sides and save this messed up world then we have to kill our mother.
Liam- [He starts laughing] HAHAHAHA! You are joking right?! Now tell me the actual way to switch our positions. [Liam wants to deny it but the silence and pain in Dwan's soul tells everything to him]. No! I can't. There must be any other ways too right? There is still plenty of time. We will think something. [Liam stammers while speaking]
Dwan- Cool your mind Liam. Think about it, There is no other w...
Liam- [Shouted while tears in his eyes] Shut up! We just can't. I will train hard without taking any rest. I know with both of us together we can defeat that God. See in 1 day i learned to summon the sword and I know that you will find a way to let me counter his time ability too.
Dwan- Liam I know its hard and impossible for you to do. But you can't defeat him. It hurting me to say that. She is my mother too Liam, but there are no other ways. I understand your feelings, Its deep, harsh and screaming for help. But think about your father, Aoi and even those innocents one who are unaware of this. You are their only hope Liam. If you die, this world is done. After killing you, Cronos or Akumaa or any other God will eventually kill your parents, Aoi and everyone you love. I think its better to lost one of them to save others. Think logically Liam, Its not the time to be emotional. And let me tell you something, Your mother will still be there in heaven and its a beautiful place for pure hearted souls. After everything ends and the world be finally at its peace, I promise you to let you see your mother.
Liam- [Still having doubts but he suddenly starts having beautiful memories of his Father] I can't let everyone die because of my stupid and emotional decision. Okay Dwan! If you are switching with me anyways then I guess, I don't need to train anymore. I want to enjoy this last few days with my mother.
Dwan- We have to do it now.
Liam- Why now? Its too early Dwan!
Dwan- I know Liam! But I'm not used to your body yet. I have to practice after taking control on your body and the more time I get the more easily I'll defeat Cronos and other gods. I hope you understand my brother.
Liam- But if I want my body back how will I get it? It isn't permanent switching or something right?
Dwan- No Liam, Its not permanent. If we have to switch back we both have to agree on it together and we will be back to the normal. And after that we can switch our bodies on our will. So you don't have to fight and suffer more Liam.
Liam- [As a child it is impossible for him but he don't have any choice] Fine Dwan, (He cries) A final wish from my side, Please hug my mother before killing her so I can at least feel her soul.
Dwan- You don't have to say that Liam, I was already planning to do that. Afterall she is my mother too.
[Dwan starts chanting a binding vow and a black entity who doesn't have any body or soul appeared in front of Dwan]
Black entity- [In heavy and echoed voice] Tell me your demands and your sacrifice.
Dwan- I want you to switch my place with this boy Liam and in return I am sacrificing my very own mother by killing her with my own hands.
Black entity- [Analyze his bond with what he is sacrificing and said] "Binding vow Granted" [And vanish after saying that]
[Comes back in present time]
Dwan- And this is how I get his body. Then I killed his mother and after that make myself arrested so that at least I'll get some peace. I thought that while being in lockup I'll get time to practice my own powers in a human body. Although a lady named Anna was so fucking irritating, So I have to kill her and took out her teeth. I used her teeth as a weapon to kill each and everyone in that facility.
Cronos- You really are something Dwan. I guess what I heard about you wasn't just a legend story. But still I wonder why you make yourself arrested? If you want then you can do your training at any place?! Manipulating a child and use him for your own benefits. How coward you..
[Before he completes his sentence Dwan sliced Cronos in between and split him in two parts] "I don't need to hear you anymore."
After slicing him, "A bright yellowish light soul comes out from Cronos body, Dwan grab it with his hand and while he holds he feels some pain for few minutes]. Guess I was right Liam, There will no one to stop us by achieving what we both wants.
Liam is in a dark place, facing down while holding his knees with both of his hands. His eyes are dull like he is not sleeping properly.
