Beyond Gods 88 Dark Reunion

He was a father and hadn't known!?

Furthermore, the mother was a woman he had had a one night stand with years ago! A woman who had almost gotten him killed for power hungry reasons!?

It was like a hit to his gut.

"Keep your eyes on the ball son," said JD. "You can think about the child later. For now, mitigate the disaster. We came here for a reason."

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Worried about a child!?," laughed Hanuman chiming in. "I must have fathered millions. It is the women's job to handle these things! If the child is strong, they'll survive no matter the circumstances and the greater the hardship they endure and overcome the more worthy the offspring will be of carrying your name!"

Despite Hanuman's hilarious inconsiderateness and unabashed sexist views, Johan continued thinking about the child.

Was his child a boy or girl?

How old was his kid now since time ran differently between realms?

His child had likely grown up without him since he had been away from earth for over ten years!

What was the childs likes and dislikes?

What would he tell Luisa?

He had always imagined Luisa would be the mother of his first child and all his children!

That is why he had fought so hard in the tournament! He had wanted to protect Luisa!

Johan shook his head. Dismissing his current thought digressions.

That's right! He had to save Looking Glass City!

Johan stood up and looked at the giant turtle slowly approaching Looking Glass City.

"Let's go," said Johan standing up and running towards it.

"I can't believe I'm a grandfather," said JD smiling to himself as he jogged after Johan. "What a wonderful and unexpected surprise ... even if it was with that wild woman ... I always hoped I would live to see the day my special boy became a father ..."

— @ —

After jogging for a few minutes, Johan found himself standing above the giant turtle on the pathway in the 'beyond the scenes' realm.

"That woman sure picked an odd time to tell you about your child," muttered Hanuman thoughtfully scratching his wrinkly old chin.

It was time to attack, Johan raised his hand into the air and storm clouds with electricity bouncing between them began to gather.

Szzzz!

Sizzle!

Szzzz!

Sparks flew through the air and Johan's hair stood on end as the air got charged.

The clouds grew and grew as Johan wrinkled his eyebrows and closed his eyes in extreme focus.

"Now!," said Johan. "NIMBUS STRIKE!"

BOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!

CRASHHHHHH!!!!!

White lightening flew down around Johan like a waterfall towards the giant turtle striking it with extreme force. Black smoke appeared around it as a storm cloud was kicked up obscuring visibility of it. The air reverberated and the pathway shook. This strike was three times as powerful as his attack had been on Anna because he didn't have to be on the defense when throwing it.

Johan fell to his knees exhausted.

"Hmmm," said Hanuman thoughtfully looking down at the dust cloud. "So it's one of those ... to think that I would see one here in this time and place ... so far from anything remotely like its natural habitat."

The smoke cleared and Johan saw the giant turtle staring up at him with large highly intelligent eyes.

"WHO ARE YOU!?," boomed a voice in Johan's head. "WHY ARE YOU HERE!? HOW DARE YOU ATTACK ME!?"

The pathway seemed to shake from the mere voice in Johan's head. It was powerful and overwhelming.

"One of those!?," stammered Johan. "How can a turtle talk or even see us in this realm!?"

"A beast from antiquity," muttered Hanuman. "This can be bad. It must have gotten caught in a time anomaly which preserved its egg. Then the clan leader ... this Silverblade must have raised it. These animals are very closely related to Fey gods, and thus, it is much stronger than your average Fey beast. Furthermore, they are highly intelligent and capable of communication and high level reasoning. If it wasn't raised from childhood there is no way it would submit to mere humans."

"ANSWER ME HEATHEN!," boomed the turtle. "OR DOES'T THOU THINK I'D LET YEE GET AWAY WITH AN ACTION AS SUCH!?"

The turtle opened it's mouth and a light began to glow from within it.

"Run," said Hanuman. "Due to its relation to true gods, its attack can transcend realms."

"Well hello," sneered a voice near Johan.

FOOSH!!!

A sudden gust of wind blew past Johan. Johan looked up at the cause and his face went pale.

In front of Johan he saw himself staring back at him.

"Hello," sneered a vile but familiar voice.

"Athelion!?," gasped Johan.

While his appearance was different, the voice was unmistakable.

Johan glanced down and the turtle seemed to still be generating an energy ball in its open mouth getting ready to attack.

"Again I must thank you," smiled Athelion. "You left your original body behind, and consequently, I had a means to escape from that prison realm and that annoying fellow Genghis, albet your body is weak. But, I will use my ways to make it strong. It was my avenue to freedom ... and now yet again, said Athelion glancing at Looking Glass City in the distance. You have guided me to find my way out of this dreaded maze to a realm with a city flourishing with people. Your lightening was like a beacon of hope. But, to think someone of your level could summon that lightening. You are truly full of surprises ..."

"RUN!," roared Hanuman.

With that, Johan ignoring a surprised Athelion ran towards looking glass city with his father and Hanuman close behind.

Athelion glanced after them as his expression of surprise suddenly turned into one of anger.

"YOU DARE IGNORE ME PEASANTS!?," said Athelion clenching his fists.

BOOM!

A stream of light from the turtle's mouth engulfed Athelion as Athelion instinctively spread his dark rotting aura instinctively.

"RAWRRRRR!!!!!," roared Athelion has his clothes tore off. "A BEAST FROM ANTIQUITY!? HERE!?"

The attack passed and the giant turtle resumed walking towards Looking Glass City as if nothing had happened.

Athelion spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell to his knees watching Johan in the distance continue to run away.

"The boy is clever," muttered Athelion thoughtfully. "That is twice this boy Johan has managed to escape me. He once again managed to use an overwhelmingly strong entity to occupy me while he escaped. With the injuries from that beasts attack I'll need to obtain the God Orb to heal myself. Fortunately, it seems as if the attack was thrown half heartily ... otherwise, with this body, I would have perished. That was a close call, I must be more careful around him."

With that, like a ray of light, Athelion shot towards Looking Glass City, quickly passing by Johan.
