Hazama found himself floating in what he could only assume was the same White Void from before when he met Faust. He had no idea where he was but he knew something had happened. His fight with Tirek was a little foggy near the end, his full power was a bit much to take in all at once. Almost immediately after letting it out, he felt his head buzz with thoughts that didn't seem like his own. But they weren't Terumi's either. At the time he didn't care, as his body seemed to move on instinct and used a ferocious attack style that he had never thought of. Even going so far as to use his Ghosting ability to heal the more superficial wounds that the punches caused.

His mind wandered back to the thoughts that flooded his mind. They were short, but they held purpose. There were so many that it was impossible to focus on just one. Yet at the same time, there was one that stood out. And it kept asking him the same question.

*Do you wish for more power?

There was so much going on at the time that the words were lost in the mass of his own thoughts, only small traces remained like a dream you couldn't quite remember.

"..Wake up!" A voice echoes though the White Void, causing his focus to waver slightly.

But now that he really thought about it, he could feel like he already knew what had spoken to him. It was so familiar to him yet foreign, almost like the-

"Get the Fuck up!"

Wham!

----Mindscape----

Hazama jolted up from the ground, and found himself looking at a smirking Terumi. Nightmare stood beside him, the fanged grin shone like the mirth in her eyes. Hazama sighed, and laid back down.

"Did you have to? I was in the middle of something important.. I think.." Hazama's brow furrowed in concentration, yet for all he could try, he couldn't remember what it was he was thinking about.

"Right, you can't feel the death looming on out front door." Terumi paused like he was thinking of something, but let out a sigh himself. "Izanami" He watched as Hazama's eye cracked open in surprise, before it closed and he let out a groan of anguish.

"Jesus.. Where do they come from?" He muttered under his breath.

"Dearest who is this Izanami that you keep speaking of?" Nightmare asked, as she sat down.

"Closest thing to a God that you can have aside from Faust herself." Terumi answered. Hazama felt a chill go down his spine, but he couldn't place why. He groaned again, as he sat up, holding his head with his One hand. He only idly noted that the Seither construct he had made was gone. His head was buzzing, even as he made to stand up. "So, uh-" Terumi's voice caught his attention. Lightly shaking his head to rid himself of the strange feeling, he looked over to Terumi. The man was hunched over next to his Mate, and she was apparently making fun of him.

"Come on now, your the One who said you wanted to." She chided him. He grumbled a bit under his breath, and he looked up. An annoyed look on his face.

"Look, I'm sorry about the whole 'not giving you my power' thing. You needed help and I didn't give it." Terumi said, his voice oddly somber. Hazama studied Terumi for a bit, as if thinking something over.

"That's not my problem. If that was all it was, you know I would have just thrown your apology over my shoulder with a smile." Hazama's face tightened, and the sound of grinding teeth was heard. "No, what makes this unforgivable, is that you would risk everything I've worked for, everything I've done.. For revenge, and a small chance of getting out." Hazama said softly, as he relaxed slightly. "Well congratulations, you've taken away One of my failsafe's should you ever get out." Terumi growled slightly.

"One?!" Terumi called out angrily, but was stopped suddenly. In a flash of movement Hazama crossed the distance between them, and he held Terumi by his collar, his eye shining dangerously under the shadow of his hat.

"You ever try anything like that again, and I will Ghost us through the planet into its goddamned core, am I clear?" He hissed through clenched teeth.

Terumi stared Hazama in the eyes, his grin returning as he clenched his fist tightly. Letting his fist fly into Hazama's cheek, he was surprised. The only motion that was made from the contact, was Hazama spitting a little blood off to the side. The arm holding him up didn't so much a twitch. He grunted, and let another punch fly.

Terumi felt the hand let go of his collar, as he watched Hazama duck the punch. He went to kick off the hat wearing idiot, but found no footing as he kicked at the air. He felt something clamp on his throat like a vice, and his vision swam faster than he could blink. He felt his head slam into the ground, cracking the stone floor that they stood on. He focused his vision, and smirked at the sight. Hazama held his hand on his throat like a vice, his eye still shining with an ethereal Gold mixed with Green.

"What?!" Nightmares voice called out. Terumi glanced in her direction, and snarled. A Green Seither hand had sprouted from the ground and trapped her like it was a cage.

"Let her- Urk!" Terumi gasped as the grip tightened around his neck. The Seither construct tightened its grip on Nightmare at the same time.

"Am. I. Clear?" Hazama's tone was calm, yet full of venom. Terumi inhaled the best he could, and glared at the man holding him down.

"Crystal." He choked out.

In a swift motion, he was lifted up and thrown away from Hazama, Nightmare following as the Seither construct flung her in the same direction. Terumi landed as gracefully as he could, and caught his Mate from her fall. Letting her stand up next to him, the Two glared over at Hazama, as he stood there with his hand rubbing his sore jaw. It took a few minutes for the tension in the room to settle.

"So, wanna tell me what that was? Or do we have to get physical again?" Terumi asked, his tone full of impatience. They watched Hazama crouch down, resting his arm along his knees.

"..If the roles were reversed. Would you blame me?" Hazama asked softly. Terumi scoffed.

"Of course not-" He was interrupted once again.

"If you were have a child with Nightmare, and said child was endangered at the same time as Nightmare.. You wouldn't do everything in your power to help her?" Hazama's words cut right through whatever he was about to say.

He knew he would. He would have tore that Red Centaur to pieces, if he had the chance.

"You would have won, you know." Hazama's voice broke through again. "You will always have the advantage in a fight. There aren't too many fights that have an abundance of good feelings in them. I'm always at a goddamned handicap when I fight.." Hazama explained. "Can I ask for your help in fighting Izanami?" Terumi merely nodded his head, even as Nightmare sighed loudly. She would never understand this Sibling-like Rivalry the Two had.

"Good, because Izanami is number One on my list of Women I'ld like to never fight alone" Hazama laughed lightly.

"Your God is a Mare?!" Nightmare growled out.

"...There's a list?" Terumi asked, his curiosity piqued.

"List later, I demand to know what this harlot looks like and what she wants with you Two!" Nightmare asked ferociously. Hazama's eyebrow quirked at his addition to her statement. Why did she care about him?

"Right, right. Terumi snapped his fingers, and an image of Izanami began forming. "She's only interested in things that can help her destroy everything, so I guess she wants out help." He shrugged, before getting tackled to the ground. He was confused and angry at Hazama for bowling him over like that, before he spoke.

"Stop! Don't you remember who were dealing with here?!" Terumi had a second at most to register his error before the image of Izanami finished, and then solidified. It took a few steps forward and looked around. Hazama stood quickly, helping his counterpart up at the same time.

"That image is quite.. Realistic. This is the harlot? She does not look so tough." Nightmare spoke, catching the image's attention.

"Oh? You have multiple souls in your head? Interesting." The image spoke in a soft monotone.

"Shit.." Terumi grumbled as he carefully and slowly slid himself in front of Nightmare.

"Izanami. To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" Hazama asked, his usual smile back.

"Just making sure my new Toy wasn't broken, you were taking a long time to wake up." She said simply.

"Toy?!" Nightmare shouted out of shock. Izanami turned her attention to the once who spoke, and an almost invisible frown on her face. Before she could move though, Terumi stepped up into her sightline.

"Terumi? Are you trapped here? Your memories and Hazama's are both mixed in here. Its hard to get a clear read on who's is who's." She spoke, turning to look at Hazama again. "Your memories are most difficult to read properly. But if I stay here long enough, I will understand why your so different from what I expected."

"Your digging through our head?" Terumi asked in a low growl.

"Of course, but your most prominent memories keep getting in my way. Why are you so intimate with members of another species?" She asked, ignoring the red flush across Nightmares face.

"Your looking at out more personal memories?" Hazama asked, his smile fading into a slight frown.

"How else would I find your weak points?" She said simply, before pausing. "You both have a child on the way."

Hazama and Terumi bristled at the comment, and Nightmare's eyebrow rose at her comment. Before she could say anything however, she was blown back by a wave of Energy. Both Terumi and Hazama had flared their respective powers.

"Get out of our head!" The Two shouted, and in a flash of brilliant Green the area around them was obliterated.

----The Void-----

Hazama opened his eyes and back flipped off of whatever he was laying on. He landed in his fighting stance, but quickly sagged forwards a fair bit, as he began breathing heavily. His eyes widened as he looked around, recognizing the Void around him, no wonder he felt physically drained. All around him was that inky blackness that you shouldn't be able to see through, yet small lights shone through like the night sky. In front of him stood the diminutive form of Izanami, in all her priestess clothing. She simply stood there, looking into his eyes with that blank look of hers.

"Alright then." Hazama spoke first, straightening himself up as he spoke. He felt a bit more at ease the longer he stayed in the Void. "Now that we've met properly, I believe introductions are in order. My name is Hazama, former human from Earth, and protector of this Equestria." He bowed politely. Izanami stood there for a few seconds, before replying.

"You already know about me, and what I want. So why would I need to introduce myself?" She asked, before a small, almost invisible frown appeared on her face. "And its that prior knowledge of yours that has me interested. Not many people know of my existence, let alone my true goals of destruction. Those that do find out, are killed without question." She cocked her head slightly to the side. "How do you know of me?" She asked. A light chuckle was heard from Hazama, as he smirked.

"Lets just say that your more easily read up on than you think." He said cryptically with a grin.

"All of this information is common knowledge then? Then the 'Earth' you come from is more dangerous than I thought." She mumbled loudly to herself.

"I wouldn't say common, more, easily found for anybody knowing where to look. But never mind all that. What did you pull me into the Void for?" He asked calmly.

"I simply wished to judge how to handle you. You don't act like the Hazama from my world, and you've even managed to befriend Yuki Terumi. You are smart, almost too smart. While I was in your head, I looked through quite a few of your 'back-up' plans. You have plans to handle every person from my world, and even some from the ponies own world. Tirek was an unknown to you, as I had figured, and used him to gauge your powers and abilities." She explained.

"Did that bitch just say we were fucking friends? I'll kill her. I'll kill her and watch her burn." Hazama chuckled at Terumi's half hearted complaint.

"Easy there, using the word 'friend' will open a can of worms I don't want to deal with right now. Regardless of that, I was wondering if-" Hazama was stopped short, as his body seemed to stop working aside from a slight tingling. It felt as if everything was frozen besides Izanami.

"And this is how I need to take you down. You should be honored that it took my ability to work outside of Time to kill you." She said, raising her hand facing her palm towards him.

"She can just, stop time.. Just like that?! I though there would be at least a fucking warning or some shit!" Terumi called out agitatedly.

"Any chance you can help? I'm stuck like this. I can't even summon the Ouroboros!" Hazama began worrying.

"We're tied to each other you dumbass! If you cant move, then neither can I!" Terumi seethed, his anger boiling. But it wouldn't help.

"I will never understand why you chose to help these ponies. They will only die like everything else. Nothing that dies is worthy of existing, so I must eliminate everything that defiles this universe with Life." Izanami began charging her attack, Yellow Seither gathering at her palm. "You are the same, Hazama. From a different world or not, you will still die In the end."

"And now she's fucking monologuing?!" Terumi's anger began saturating the very air around Hazama's body.

*Do you want to fight?

"..What? What was-"

"Try all you want, you cannot match my ability. All your power is wasted when you cant move." She stated calmly. "Now, die." She released the ball of Seither in her hand, and it soared through the air.

"I swear to fucking god, I will destroy you!" Terumi roared inside Hazama's head.

*Do you want to protect?

The strange voice called out through the Void again, snapping Hazama's eyes open.

"I will protect them! Everyone!"

In a blinding flash of Yellow, the Seither erupted with insane velocity. Izanami didn't even blink, as she let time resume. Her head cocked sideways, as she saw Hazama's body laying on the ground through the smoke.

"You are.. More durable than I thought possible. No matter, nothing a second blast won't cure." She gathered more Seither in her hand.

"Hah.. You're gonna have to.. Try a little harder than that!" Hazama coughed up a substantial amount of blood as he struggled to move. Getting to his knees, he sent a glare at Izanami as blood dribbled down the corners of his mouth.

"Fine then, harder it is." Izanami froze time again, pulling more of her near limitless Seither into the attack. A slight cracking noise garnered her attention. She watched in amazed fascination as an ever so slight Purple glow began shining from Hazama's chest. It spread, until it covered his entire body.

She couldn't help but gasp slightly, as she watched Hazama lurch forward in a half step. A shattering noise was all the indication of him breaking her hold over his time. He stumbled a bit, as he stood as straight as he could. He looked up at her, his face still set in a glare.

"Why do you have to be such a cliché huh?" He grumbled angrily. "Life sucks, do you think we don't know that?" In a flash of Dark Green Seither, Hazama's Seither arm appeared. In its grip was an already forming ball of a dangerous looking combination of Green Seither and bolts of Purple flaring from it. "We choose to go on, regardless!" The ball of Seither began shining brightly, "Some of us don't have time to die! Cause people count on us to survive!" He roared as he threw the ball of Seither at Izanami.

It pulsed as it left his hand, before it bulged to the size of beach ball. Izanami didn't even flinch as she launched her own attack. As if rising to the occasion, the Green and Purple ball pulsed again, before bulging out to Four times its size. Her eyes widened as she glanced back at Hazama. Hazama had opened his left eye, it's color now a glowing Purple, as wisps of Green and Purple energy seeped into the open air. Her attack was met full force with Hazama's own, and watched as it bounced of his with almost no effort. The ball of Seither was radiating power, the amount even surprised her a little.

She smiled.

Nothing surprised her anymore. She would enjoy fighting Hazama.

She was engulfed in the ball of Seither as it exploded.

When it was all over, and the smoke was cleared, she was still standing in the exact same spot. The only visual response to her getting hit by the attack was her slightly charred skin that healed over fairly quick. When she looked over to Hazama, she couldn't help but let the small smile transform into a full grin.

Hazama was gone. She would have to hunt him.

----With Hazama----

Hazama fell to the ground, hard. His wounds were deep and due to how and where they were made, he couldn't just regenerate like he liked. Sitting up the best he could, he spat out a glob of blood onto the metallic floor he found himself on. Looking around, he found the area to be familiar. Only now did he realize that somebody was yelling out behind him.

"We need to go in and out of universes One-One-Nine through Two-Zero-Seven, keep the times and places as sporadic as possible!" The voice called over the slight whirring of machine. Hazama grunted as he made motion to stand, catching the familiar Brown pony's attention. "Stay down! The hit you took was meant to destabilize your body. You were never meant to fight Izanami at this point in time! Why is everything you do ahead of schedule?!" The Doctor's words came out as more worried than agitated.

"Doctor, I've got the first aid kit!" The sound of Ditzy's voice was almost enough to make Hazama hug her, but he knew it wasn't his Ditzy.

"Perfect, I need you to make sure he doesn't move around-"

"I'm fine." Hazama cut in, his eye still cracked open from the fight, letting the Two ponies get a glimpse of the Purple color. It seemed to draw a serious reaction from the Doctor, as he turned on a dime to face Him fully, his hoof reaching up for his necktie.

"Computer, run scan. Subject: Hazama." He called out shakily.

*Scan complete, Subject Hazama is saturated in Null Particles. Removal impossible.

"W-what?! How?" The Doctor asked no one in particular. In a flash his Sonic Screwdriver was in his hoof again.

*Dodge to the left

A sharp pain caused by the words in Hazama head made him lean to the left while wincing slightly. A blast of some kind of energy whizzed by his head, and connected with the wall behind him. He rubbed his head as he sent a glare towards the Doctor.

"I don't have time for this crap right now. You can try to kill me some other time, but your plan wont work. She'll find me no matter what. She knows what she wants and will stop at nothing to get me. I need you to bring me to the most barren planet you can, as quick as you can." The Doctor seemed confused, as he lowered his Sonic Screwdriver.

"Why aren't you attacking me? In every other universes you attack me as soon as your fully saturated-"

"I told you I was different. We need to hurry, Time isn't something the TARDIS can keep from Izanami." Hazama interrupted the Doctor. The Doctor stared at him for a few seconds, before trotting over to a consol. He began typing up a few things, before turning around again. The door behind Hazama opened up, revealing an oddly dark yet Orange light. As he walked out, he looked up. Above him hung the Sun and the Moon, yet they looked as if they had collided forcefully.

"There, this Equestria was the one that got caught in the crossfire of Nightmare Moon and Solar Queen. The Two went all out in their battle, and broke their pacts with the Celestial Bodies that made up their Magic. With no shade, and no real sunlight, nothing grew, and all plant life dwindled to nothing over the course of a hundred years. Now the only thing alive on this cursed Equestria, are Two broken, Immortal Alicorns. They'll probably leave you alone." The Doctor turned and walked back into the TARDIS. "I've got some stuff to do, I'll be back where I can" Hazama's face contorted to confusion as the door began shutting.

"Don't you mean 'When" you can?" He asked. The Doctor smirked.

"Since when has that been a problem?" He laughed lightly at the slight scowl on Hazama's face. The TARDIS closed its door ad vanished in a second flat after that. Hazama glared at the empty space it had occupied.

"Dick.." He muttered, before he sat on the dry ground. With a stray thought, he flicked his wrist, and One of his Tokens whipped out into the horizon. If he had time, he would help out, but just in case, he'd rather be able to find this world again.

He took a deep breath and relaxed into the slight slouch that felt good on his back, before breathing as deeply as he could. He pushed all his focus from outside his body, towards the inside. Soon enough, he found what he needed. Connecting himself to his power, he felt it tug him towards it, like a black hole. A slight frown appeared on his face as he pushed deeper, and soon found himself inside his mind again. Still sitting down, he could feel Terumi staring at him.

"The hell are you doing?" Terumi asked calmly, only a slight annoyance lingered in his voice. Hazama cracked an eye open, Gold met Green in a small stare off.

"I've recently acquired a modicum of new power that could destroy us, I'm currently trying to see why I went Berserker Mode in the fight against Tirek" Hazama said, his eye closed in concentration. "Shortly after, I began hearing the new voice." He added. Terumi cocked his head to the side as he walked around to Hazama's back.

"I haven't heard jack shit, you sure your okay? We kinda have to fight a living God soon, so I need you to be able to focus here." Terumi cracked a joke, as he sat down, his back meeting Hazama's as he matched his doppelgangers position as he closed his eyes.

"That's half the reason I came in here. Now shut up and lets do this." Hazama grumbled.

"Damn right, I don't want to do this as much as you do, idiot.." Terumi growled. A grunt from both of them was the only warning that was given.

In a swirl of wind they both focused on their respective powers, each different in polarity, yet similar in make. Having a feel for their own power and feeling the others close by, they sat there, meditating for the first time together, for what felt like hours. When One would let the levels drop slightly, the other would follow. Even pulsing their power at different times, although difficult at first, was soon added to the routine. For the first time since they had arrived on Equestria, they were working together.

After what felt like days, they both stood up and grinned at each other. Terumi's glowing Green eyes met Hazama's cracked open Golden one.

"So, I assume we did that so we would be able to address the elephant now in the room?" Terumi glanced upwards. But was surprised by Hazama's answer.

"No, that was training for something I want to try later. I already knew it was here. I'm more surprised it took you that long to sense it." Hazama turned around. "So? What exactly are you?"

Out of the ground shot Hazama's Ouroboros. Or rather, the new and improved version.

*You already know

"Then enlighten me, jackass" Terumi growled, getting irritated already.

*We are a collective though that originates from where you call the Void

"Can you tell me why you gave me power? If it wasn't for you, then I'd be floating in the Void dead." Hazama asked simply. However, it was met with silence in the form of a long pause.

*You are unique.. No, you are interesting. You wish for power not for yourself, but simply to protect those you care for. If you don't need the power, then you don't use it. If you don't have enough, you make more. Your sacrifices are great yet you gain nothing. You are.. Interesting

Hazama couldn't help but chuckle slightly at the reason.

"Right on all accounts but One. I gain all I need, a family and friends that believe in me. I don't need anything but that to be happy." Hazama paused slightly, before turning to Terumi. "Hey about what Izanami said earlier.." he trailed off on purpose. Terumi glanced quickly at Nightmare, before nodding. Hazama cocked his head to the side questioningly.

"Rewind" Was all Terumi said.

"Rewind? Oh right!" Hazama snapped a finger as he figured it out. "That god damned mirror bullshit that ruined both our days back with Discord.." He paused once more, before smirking at Terumi. "Your welcome. I'm actually surprised you haven't tried beating me to death yet. I did Technically get your girl pregnant." Hazama said, his smirk getting bigger as Terumi's disappeared.

"You ruined it. We were actually communicating like actual people, and you've made me need to cave your face inside your skull." Terumi's voice was calm, despite the venom behind them.

"Consider this payback for Tirek." Hazama stated calmly. Terumi immediately calmed, and glared at the ground.

"Your a total pain." Terumi grumbled.

"Says the man who hasn't told his mate that she's pregnant " At Terumi's slightly scared look, he continued. "She would have never let you gamble on her unborn child like you did. You planned on forcing your power when I got knocked out. I know how you think." Hazama smirked.

"And I'll never understand the way you think. Terumi sighed. Hazama gave him a pat on the shoulder before turning around facing the floating Ouroboros chain. It's length flickering in and out like it had trouble keeping it's physical form.

"So, what do I call you? You came from the Void, and took up residence in my Nox Nyctores, I feel like you should have a name that isn't the same as the weapon that you originate from." Hazama asked the chain. It seemed to think for a second before replying.

*Sakkaku Kusari. I believe it means 'Illusion Chain' in the Language you call Japanese

"Right, not bad actually. I'm going to call you Saku while we're alone. Hazama grinned.

*But that means 'Bloom'. Why would you name me this?

"It's not a name per say, it's a nick name. Sakkaku Kusari is a mouthful to say when I'm not introducing you. In battle, I will introduce you as my new Nox Nyctores: Sakkaku Kusari. His grin split even wider as the chain nodded at his explanation. He turned to Terumi, who was chuckling to himself.

"You just have to make friends with anything that talks, don't you? Terumi snarled almost playfully.

"Well, I try at least. Anyway, we need to use our remaining time to get our sync in the real world, see ya on the other side!" Hazama smiled as he vanished. Terumi simply sat back down on the ground, closing his eyes. He heard the chain, Saku, dive into the ground, probably to keep tabs on Hazama. His face split in half by his grin as he forced his power out towards his landlords own. He couldn't wait to see what the man was planning, it was always something new and crazy. They would need it if they were going to fight Izanami. They would need a miracle.

----A few hours later----

Hazama lay on the ground, head propped up on a rock. A light snoring escaped his lips as he slept. He may not need to sleep often, but all the repeated fighting had taken a lot out of the man. A small thumping sound woke him from his light slumber. He looked to his left, and noted the standing forms of Ponies he recognized. Only with a few key differences. In front of him stood the forms of Celestia and Luna. Each of their manes lay flat on their heads, not a trace of the Magic that usually flowed through them. They both stood defensively, and a good Twenty yards away in the slight shadow of a tree.

Luna looked ragged, and worn down. Scuff marks and small singe spots all over her fur, and he could see faint scars running through her fur down her side. Her eyes, although wary of him, held no fight in them. Celestia looked equally beaten down, not as many scorch marks, but more scuff marks were visible. Both of them were missing their cutie marks on their flanks. It looked like they were forcibly removed by a powerful laser or something of that regard.

"Right then.." He mumbled to himself. He slowly made his way off the ground, making sure his movements were slow and deliberate. Even going so far as to stretch and yawn. The Two former-Princesses looked on warily as he moved.

"Who are you?" It was Celestia that broke the silence. He looked in her eyes, and found a small glimmer of curiosity underneath her deadened look.

"My name is Hazama. I come from another Universe. Regrettably I don't have a lot of time to explain much, but I can do that later. Right now, however, I ask you: Do you wish to redeem yourselves?" Hazama asked simply. Both Alicorns looked confused at his words, but it was Luna that scoffed lightly at him.

"And how would you, of all things be able to do that? We killed everything on Equis! All because we couldn't feel happy with what we had.." Luna simmered back down into her depressed look. Celestia nuzzled the top of her sister's head, as she spoke next.

"We chose our own fate, we must deal with it accordingly." She seemed resolute, but it made Hazama smile slightly.

"But you feel guilty, yes?" He asked. "If I took you away, to my Universe, you can try to work off the debt you owe. It won't be the same, but it would at least be something. There's no reason to sit here and wait for your non-existent deaths. What would your subjects say to you if they saw their Princesses loathing in self hate?" He continued.

"How dare you?!" Luna spoke up, her eyes flaring in anger.

"You know you made a mistake. One you wont ever make again. So learn from your mistakes, and try to help others do the same. By being there for others in ways you haven't. You'll gain nothing if you don't even try!" Hazama growled. Luna backed down, tears swelling up in her eyes.

"If they know about what we did, then why would they listen to us? What your asking is for us to repay millions of lives.. It's impossible!" Celestia countered, as she sagged her head down a bit.

"I never said it would be easy. But, nothing is impossible! It's only impossible if you make it so. Hell, I've Died before!" A sudden feeling of dread washed over him, making him shudder. "Sakkaku, can you open a portal to my Universe?" He asked aloud.

The flickering snake chain slithered from his collar and with a gleam of its eyes, a small portal opened up. A small gasp was heard from both sides of the portal. Both came from their respective Celestia's, as he waved to his Tia on the other side. She seemed to focused on the strange window to another world than Hazama, as she simply waved back as she glanced around the area around him. With a nod, he motioned for the Two awestruck Alicorns. With a quick motion, the chain wrapped around them and pulled them towards the portal.

"I'll bring you back after I'm done here, if that's what you want, I just don't need anybody in the way at the moment. Sorry! Love you Tia! Say hi to Luna for me!" He called out to his Celestia through the portal, as the Two Alicorns were dropped through the portal. An indignant cry came from the portal before it closed. Hazama rubbed a temple.. It's going to be a long night when he gets back.

"You sure do care a lot for these equines.. Why?" The monotone of Izanami broke his thoughts. He sighed as he turned around.

"For some reason, I don't think you'll understand even if I tell you. You act like a child that doesn't understand something, throwing it away instead of figuring it out. I doubt you even understand basic emotions anymore, since you gave up on those so long ago, that you don't even remember them." Hazama scowled. However, his words made a smile form on Izanami's face, however small it was.

"Your the first one to talk to me like that. Prove to me that your willpower super cedes my own. Give me a fight worth remembering Hazama of Earth!" She called out, as she began expelling a massive amount of Seither. The same shiver from earlier came back as Hazama began sweating slightly.

"Shit.. This is gonna suck" He said, as an explosion rocketed him backwards. Catching himself, he realized that was just her releasing her power.. He could no longer feel her Seither at all.

And then she disappeared.

"Scratch that. I'm royally fucked.." He mumbled, as he prepared for what would probably be the shortest fight he ever had.
