End
The fighting broke out.
Although one of the participants had been sent through a mysterious portal before anybody even launched an attack, they had managed to summon a powerful storm in the moments before.
TAITC stood still, watching, nobody made a move towards them, so they just watched. Until the Glow Curse user flashed towards them, attempting to attack, however pushed away by the threat of the Binary Sword.
They began to fight back.
Narrowing down their opponents with explosions and a large barrier dubbed the ‘Kill Zone’ they had plenty of control over the arena.
But it was still hours of brutal fighting before anyone had fallen. The Velocity Curse user had even escaped the arena unnoticed at first.
The first demise was the Unity Curse user, who sacrificed themselves in a sudden act to greatly empower their allies.
From then on the deaths kept occurring one by one.
Tetragon felt the needles of Glitch Energy pierce his spine as his body was suspended in the air.
Maple was soon after destroyed by a stray beam which shattered his heart instantly.
Neo was taken down by their own bullet, as the Reflection Curse failed to hit TAITC.
Ezia was cut into shreds by the energy beams of the Binary Sword.
Shell accidentally drained their own energy after a fragment of Glitch Energy changed their abilities.
“All of you, futile, dying to each other. I barely even have to try””
Dash was eviscerated by the Kill Zone.
Unoriginal eliminated themself trying to destroy a barrier of Glitch Energy.
Mandude was swarmed by the corrosive numbers.
A gap within the arena, formed from what seemingly was a black liquid substance opened up, and Ian Booth watched the fight from afar. Once again they were going to rescue another warrior from this deadly fight, and they just had to wait for…
He grabbed the arm of the nearby Chemical Curse user, Archenhailor, and pulled them through into safety.
TAITC continued however, to target Awesome.
“You’ve gotten stronger. Perhaps our good friend down there is helping you again”
However the Energy Curse user stayed silent whilst fighting back, eventually felled by TAITC throwing their sword.
“Although it would be safer for you not to mess everything up again.”
Eventually the newcomer Vance was eliminated, by a dart of Glitch Energy through the skull. Lettuce reacted violently, attempting to directly blind their enemy.
TAITC glitched through the blast and attempted to retaliate, failing and retreating temporarily.
Disgrace, Hat, Divanochi, Veronica Gates.
They were all eliminated. And although their numbers had dropped and the Glitch Curse was growing stronger, so did they.
Their will to fight was growing by the minute.
Eventually Headless was killed. Eliminated as his spine collapsed under the Binary Sword’s power.
“Consider this… revenge for sending Vetex after me. I should never have told you about the Roulette.”
Saiju was trapped between two walls of Glitch Energy.
Hat was erased from space along with his rebar.
Pockun missed their chance for a strike, instead being taken down by millions of lances made of pure glitch energy.
The empty black space at the edge of the arena reopened, and the Void Curse user looked out and yelled. “Sock, come here, I’ll get us out of this place.”
As the Spatial Curse user tried to use a portal to teleport across the arena towards , TAITC warped space and trapped them in their own suffocating void between reality and nothingness, killing them painfully as they failed to escape.
Ian watched in fear as his friend was trapped in this fate. Before the Glitch Curse could retaliate against him, he escaped.
“So much for your victor, Prometheus.”
Prince Fitzgerald ‘Rose’ Archibald of Guapo had been absent from a good part of the battle, instead talking to all the journalists outside the arena. However upon their return to the battle, they were dramatically taken down with a stray beam from the Binary Sword.
The few remaining participants, although low in numbers, still fought with more than all their strength as one.
The amalgamation of two curse users known as ‘The Gloop’ had been still providing defensive abilities to all warriors, attempting to slow their enemy and retrieve curses of the fallen fighters. Unfortunately after a large explosion, the burning slime formed into the same black substance as everyone else - dead as it ever could be.
“Look at all of you now. There’s hardly any of you left and I just destroyed your last defences.”
TAITC laughed. “Pathetic, you didn’t have a chance in the first place. It is and was always my destiny to be the strongest person in the universe.”
They glitched forward and grasped Lettuce by the neck, holding tight onto their incorporeal form using their curse.
They glitched back and threw the Glow Curse wielder to the ground, sending needles of Glitch Energy to pin them in place.
“Now I can spend my time torturing you all. Then I’ll just spend my time taking over the rest of this universe.”
Lettuce flinched as more needles pierced into their skin.
“Enjoying the scene Typ? Or are you remembering how you let Prometheus burn your little friend alive before?”
Lettuce gasped and shouted in agony.
“If you let me kill everyone peacefully I’ll at least make it slightly less painful.”
They grimaced and tore apart Lettuce’s skin slowly, watching as they writhed in pain.
“No.” Said Typ.
The Glitch Curse user stopped.
“Finally realising your potential are you? Finally working out what it means to be Sandal’s Successor? It doesn’t matter to me anyway, I’ll take this opportunity to reunite with an old friend.”
“No. You can’t. I’ve watched everyone here die twice over, and I know they died before in Sandal’s Universe. If you defeat us you’ll kill them in every other universe as well, it doesn’t matter if our hands were forced, or if our fates are sealed, I have the will to defeat you, and so did everyone who died before.
They’re standing next to me, all of them. I don’t care if you are stronger, I don’t care if you want the world as yours. I may not have the Essence on my side anymore, but I still have its key part - Sandal’s… no, my… NO, OUR WILL.
And we’re either going to kill you right now, or never.”
Typ held out his hand, remembering all the fallen warriors as their spirits stood next to him. The Tendon Acumen appeared within his grasp and glowed.
The Tendon Acumen has been repaired and transformed into the Forum’s Acumen.
TAITC still laughed, “Trying to be the protagonist are you?.”
“At least I’m not the protagonist alone. We all fought and planned to kill you, not just one of us.”
The Glitch Curse user pushed the body of Lettuce aside and swung the Binary Sword, to his surprise it was parried by the shapeless blade of the Forum’s Acumen.
The duel begun, both fighters swinging their weapon at insane speeds, and whilst Typ was supported by the remaining Curse wielders, TAITC began to realise that they were outmatched.
Prometheus, forgotten in the chaos, began to slowly walk away unnoticed.
The Binary Sword easily sliced through the blasts sent at the, yet had little effect on the weapon of pure willpower carried in the hands of the successor of Sandal.
The Forum’s Acumen created a gash on the Glitch’s arm. Blood spilt over and onto the arena floor.
Tavish, A. Indie Turvingham Corner the Fourth lived in a small town as a child. They began to take interest in the actions of Gods by their teenage years, and when Prometheus made the first curses, they were instantly interested.
Obtaining the Salt Curse, learning from it, editing it to be destined for absolute greatness, creating their own Roulette Curse, giving it to their then friend Sandal, meeting Headless, being hunted by Vetex, unlocking the Glitch, escaping into Tammy’s body, joining the tournament, committing hundreds of murders, fighting the curse users. All these moments flashed before their eyes as they realised how close they were to death, in an attempt to escape they glitched away from the Forum Acumen and threw their Binary Sword at Prometheus, before disappearing.
The sword sliced through Prometheus’s neck, causing his body to collapse as his mind was sent throughout the fabric of reality in an instant.
Typ kneeled to the ground, feeling the last willpower within Sandal fade, and looked at the Forum’s Acumen as it disappeared into nothing.
The others behind him also felt their power drain as their Curses disappeared with the death of their creator.
Tavish looked around at the empty void around them - a shadow of the world they were just in, more empty, less life. One of their Minus Domains, where they had all the control.
They smiled as they realised that they had escaped from the power of the Forum Acumen.
However, as they tried to manipulate their surroundings to their will.
It was gone.
The Glitch Curse had gone.
He was alone. Hopeless. Eternally trapped. Continually consumed by the dying pixels of what used to be their strength.
