Chapter 142:

Chapter 141: Knitemare's Final Form!

Project: INFERNO


(Meanwhile on Earth, everyone was at one hundred percent before Knitemare's return while Hinami was looking for Sawano around their home in Hell.)
"Hinami: Sawano! Where are you dad..? Mother, have you seen Sawano?"
"Azumi: I'm afraid not.. He would most likely be training more?"
"Hinami: I checked the training rooms, he's not down there either."
"Azumi: Odd.. Perhaps he went to meet with the other fighters?"
"Hinami: Yeah.. maybe.. Are you sure you're going to be okay mother? You do need someone to watch you after all.."
"Azumi: I'll be okay my dear. I'm going to be with my family until your baby brother's born!"
(Hinami smiled as she was still excited but was still serious.)
"Hinami: Be safe okay, mom?"
"Azumi: I will my darling, but please.. save Earth and save this entire dimension."
"Hinami: I will!"
(As Azumi left to be with her family, Hinami went back to Earth to be ready for Knitemare's return. Meanwhile, Sawano was answering a call from an unknown caller.)

"???: You will continue with the plan as agreed upon. You do wish for your own family to remain alive, is that right, Sawano?"
"Sawano: I'm not going to continue with this plan! I've had enough!!"
"???: Enough you say? Did you forget what will happen to your poor family if you continue to defy me boy? It appears you need to be taught another lesson..!"
"Sawano: Do your best. I'm not f**king surrendering!"
(Sawano then deactivated his seal as the call ended and went out of an alleyway and met up with the other fighters, seeing everyone even Kazuya back at one hundred percent.)
"Kazuya: Sawano, are you okay?"
"Sawano: I should be asking you that Kazuya, are you alright?"
"Kazuya: I'm okay, yes. But I saw you run off in a hurry, is everything okay?"
"Sawano: Mhm! Azumi said that she'll be with her family for a while-"
"Goxius: Everyone!"
(They all gave Goxius their attention.)
"He's.. back."

(They all then sensed a very ominous power level surging directly from the skies as the sun completely turned into a dark and gloomy star along with the atmosphere changing. Almost all fighters had a nervous look on their faces as time suddenly slowed down for even Goxius noticed it. Sawano slowly turned around to see Knitemare staring him down right next to him in front of the sea of fighters. As time then went right back to normal, a massive explosion was right in the center of where everyone was standing and was all separated in the city's already ruined debris.)

"Nathanial(Intercom): Is everyone okay?!"
"Xinera(Intercom): A-Okay..! The hell even happened?!"
"Ares(Intercom): No clue, where's Sawano and the others?!"
"Nathanial(Intercom): Sawano, can you hear me? Sawano?!"
(As static was heard, Kazuya was zapping across the debris and pulled everyone nearby out.)
"Hinami: Where's dad..?"
"Shibuto: No idea.. What the hell was that..?"
"Amisate: I'm sensing something..."
(As Amisate looked in the debris, a metal shined within and was fired directly at Kazuya which Amisate at flash speeds, slashed the chain in half with her katana engulfed in purple lightning.)
"???: Purple lightning?! So it appears you have the power of the Queen of Divine Lightning. The one being who's lightning holds no bounds of limits. Such fascinating power inches from me and you all try to defeat the impossible?"
(All of Class X along with the fighters, witnessed a massive flow of chains impaled within Sawano from all angles by Knitemare's sneak attack. Hinami was the most frightened as her eyes widened from pure shock.)
"Hinami: SAWANOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
"Knitemare: Oh? You mean my errand boy?"
(Knitemare brought the chains down as Sawano was trying to force himself up, despite the fact he was cursed by Knitemare's chains but then stomped on his back by Knitemare and forced to stand up by the chains.)

"Now. You like to disobey my orders, Magachi? This... is what happens."
(Knitemare trapped Sawano in a paralyzing cube which forbid any moment from the inside as Knitemare then walked towards the battle-ready fighters with both of his arms expanding from his Rubber-like Limbs ability while charging massive amounts of elemental and energy power from both arms. Everyone was on guard and ready to fight.)
"Knitemare: You get to witness the true strength of my third form, with a front row seat!"
(Amisate along with Kazuya, Shibuto and Hinami was ready to fight as the fighters were in front and behind them.)
"Let us see if you can dodge this!"
(Knitemare then launched the massive attack which was two medium sized beams into a massive orb and rockets fast towards them. Suddenly at bullet speed, more debris was formed as something landed in front of them all. Kazuya then opened his eyes to see a long-haired Hayazawa stopped Knitemare's orb with just two fingers and surprised everyone else.)
"Kazuya: No way..!"
"Hayazawa: We ran into a few friends in the destroyed dimensions. However... Hehehe!!! Luckily we didn't miss the party!"

(With nothing but full force from her hands, Hayazawa dissolved Knitemare's attack with one punch and surprised him with the presence of several individuals all around him. The ground began to split open as Knitemare was punched directly into the sky by a massive hand, trapped in an orb of darkness, slashed from all angles, punched and trampled into the ground, kicked right back into the air and then smacked away by an incoming Hydra's tail then finally struck down by both divine yellow light and white divine lightning which sent Knitemare directly across the entire destroyed country. Everyone was then surprised to see the return of the Ten Tyrants, Ziohr and Avius, The Tainted Hydra Clan along with the resurrected Zeus and Helios.)

"Xinera: The Tyrants? Divine Gods? Zeus and Helios?!"
"Nathanial: A pleasure to meet you all once again."
(They all then was surprised to see Class X chair one's own Nathanial and bowed directly to his presence. Nathanial was laughing as he picked them all up with his light.)
"No need for any of that! I'm a fighter just like all of you, we're also in the mist of a fierce battle."
(The ground quakes again as the entire Earth was then manipulated with once again. The surface then spawned several giant pillars from the ground as several rock-made golems infused with Knitemare's elemental power was then being created and was commanded to attack.)
"Ares: Those are a lot of golems, time to have some fun!"
"Khoteku: No!"
(She walked towards the army as her crew remained right where they stood.)
"We need to keep the strongest people we got alive to handle Knitemare! As he said, that's his third form, not his final form. If we waste the strongest on the weaker opponents, our chances in winning will plummet drastically! Save the strongest people you got for Knitemare! Let us handle his spawned puppets! CREW!"
"Khoteku's Crew: YES CAPTAIN!"

(The golems began to throw a barrage of black kinetic energy orbs as Khoteku stood right in front of the sea of golems and slammed her black-winged spear into the ground and impaled her palm into the blade of the spear, feeding the spear her blood which dramatically raised her power to the spear and kicked it into her shoulder as she was ready to fight.)

"Khoteku: CHARRRGEEEE!!!!!"
(Khoteku's crew then charged at the golems as the barrage of kinetic orbs was about to land as Khoteku then untied her small purple ribbons on her head and did nothing but stare at the orbs. In a sheer instant, the orbs was teleported right back to the golems which then, created a gigantic explosion as Khoteku's crew continued to charge through the explosions.)
"Chimon: We should take this opportunity everyone! Lets go!"
"Nathanial: Right, we hunt Knitemare with the strongest we got!"
"Akari: The Tyrants can handle the golems, along with the Hydras if you'll help!"
"Trezoru: We'll give as much help as we can, BOYS!"
"Tainted Hydras: YES BOSS!"
(As they all agreed, the strongest was separated from the strong as Class X along with Chimon, Avius, Ziohr and Zeus and Helios went to track Knitemare down throughout the rubble until pillars of Earth came flying towards them, Amisate then rapidly charges enough lightning energy to shatter the pillars and keep the group moving.)
"Echoing Voice: Insolence... Insolence! Don't you all understand the inevitable?!"
"Sawano: Screw you Knitemare!!"
"Echoing Voice: INSOLENCE!"
(Fast moving drills of steel began hurdling towards the others as Shibuto casted portals to send them back at Knitemare which landed a direct hit and recalled the drills back. Kazuya quickly grabbed onto the drill and was dragged along with it.)
"Xinera: KAZUYA!"
"Kazuya: I'M GONNA KILL THIS BASTARD!!!!"

(As Kazuya was then being scratched, slashed and cut by the ongoing drill, he still continued to keep his grip but then manipulated part of Unholy Inferno as small yet powerful string to hold on tightly. Kazuya then looked at the massive cave within the Earth and sees Knitemare right in front of him then suffers a powerful punch directly to the gut which rocketed him to the ground until Knitemare trampolined him back into the air and attacked with several combined elements to double the damage then blasted his entire hand through Kazuya's chest which cuts his heart in two as he was no longer moving and crashed to the ground. Knitemare then stood over the fallen Kazuya with bloodlust in his eyes as he then stepped on his corpse and began to steal his elemental power until he was interrupted by Chimon stopping the attack with both of his axes.)

"Knitemare: You plan to get in my way again?"
"Chimon: Not just me! ONARA!"
(Onara suddenly casts a domain as Knitemare was stationary.)
"Onara: Cast Domain... Abyssal Cage!!"
(The sigil as before in the Tournament of Honor appears and traps Knitemare along with Chimon inside the domain while Kazuya was taken out of harm's way by Nathanial's light before getting trapped in the domain.)
"Nathanial: Got him!"
"Sawano: They'll be okay right?"
"Nathanial: I have faith in them."
(Kazuya's entire body then restored itself from any damage as Kazuya was then resurrected but was even stronger than before as he gasped and looked around.)
"Kazuya: WHERE IS HE?!"
"Shibuto: Knitemare's trapped in Onara's domain, relax."

(As Knitemare sensed nothing but the void, Chimon then activated his beast along with switching his axes into hooks and began slashing Knitemare in the dark which he took damage right past his Repel. During which, Chimon's speed began increasing per hit as he then attacked Knitemare with his hooks acting as buzzsaws which rapidly slashes his body then hooked his jaw to the blades and and delivered enough force to drive Knitemare through the domain's darkness and dissolve Onara's domain which everyone noticed and glared at a black star forming at the top of the of the cave. They all saw it was Onara forming a massive attack out of pure void, nothing else as she stared down Knitemare.)

"Chimon: ONARA NOW!"
(Her eyes snapped shut with a glow of purple and yellow as her face gave a very neutral expression but was prepared to kill.)
"Onara: You will crumble into darkened cinders! Void Star... SOLAR-X!"
(Onara then drops the star towards Knitemare which snapped his eyes open as he realized that was enough power he needed to transform if absorbed. Knitemare then launched himself towards the attack as Sawano then realized what his true plan was.)
"Sawano: WAIT..! HE'S GOING TO ABSORB IT!"
"Xinera: What?!"
"Sawano: HE'S GOING TO ABSORB THE ATTACK!"
(Nathanial then saw Knitemare rocking fast towards Solar-X as his arms was open to absorb it.)
"Nathanial: He's actually going to try it?"
"Sawano: DAMN IT!!"
(Sawano forcefully sprouted his wings and fled as fast as he could to Knitemare and caught up with him to stop Knitemare before Solar-X came in contact.)
"HELL'S.. INFERNO.. FIST!!!"

(Before Knitemare could stop Sawano, Sawano then connected the punch which blasted a hole into Knitemare's body, mainly attacking his core and shattering it and surprised everyone else at the amount of speed Sawano surpassed and force he delivered. Sawano then launched Knitemare into Solar-X along with his own wave of Inferno blasting him towards it. Both Sawano's attack and Onara's collided which created a growing and charging explosion which then exploded in mid-air and created a massive debris in the air and shook the entire Earth once again while almost every city in the world crumbled from the explosion. Everyone including Sawano took cover and avoided the debris. Minutes later, everything was absolutely silent except for falling rocks and debris. Suddenly, Sawano was gripped by Knitemare's arm which once again brought surprise to everyone else except Nathanial.)

"Knitemare: You really don't get it do you puppet..?"
(As Knitemare's entire body was covered by the smoking debris, Sawano's core was slashed through as he hacked blood out and was jammed by Knitemare's own chains which scared the fighters below once again.)
"Hinami: FATHERR!!!!"
"Everyone Else: SAWANO!!"
"Knitemare: Your pathetic little hero here... ISN'T. Sawano. This Sawano is nothing more than my little plaything. This is Sawano Magachi from a different timeline.. However, his last name is Tamarei! Much like your previous friend, Gaito Tamarei."
"Onara: Then where the hell did you-"
"Knitemare: The real Sawano is dead. By my hands, I salvaged his organs and took his core. All of his abilities and power now. Belongs. To me."
(Hinami began to back away as she was terrified once again.)
"Hinami(Thinking): I don't wanna run... I want to fight for my father and mother..! B-But... Deep down, I'm very fricking scared of him..."
(Hinami began breaking down as she was fearing of herself being too weak to fight, Shibuto noticed her and quickly comforted her.)
"Xinera: How the hell did he kill the actual Sawano.. Right under our noses too..?!"
"Nathanial: I will admit.. You have me quite impressed. So this is true appearance of your final form. Is it.. Knitemare?"

(The debris then revealed the one hundred percent appearance of a Senvoinian's body with a Dragon's torso, Beast's tail, Anti-God, Divine God, Destroyer markings, a dark halo circling his head and Knitemare's entire aura not even visible to the naked eye.)
"Knitemare: You're a lot smarter than I took your for Nathanial. Is it true the reason you're not fighting me is because you're stalling? Much like your pathetic... friends here, I've came back. Time after time to once again defeat you delinquents."
"Nathanial: You all us delinquents when you're destroying dimensions and timelines without a care in the world? Who's the delinquent here?"
(Knitemare chuckled at the comment.)
"Knitemare: What I do is only necessary if I wish to continue my path to obtaining true power, I plan to do what I started eons ago and slaughter the Creator of All Things! Even if it means defeating you all, so be it!"
(Everyone suddenly was sweating fear except for Class X who decided not to run. Knitemare then hakai's Future Sawano's corpse as it was erased without a trace as Knitemare then raised his hand into the air and once again and began calling out several elements/abilities and activates them within his hand.)
"Rubber-like Limbs, Kinetic Enhancer Times thirty, Element Enhancer Times fifty, Unholy Inferno, Divine Light, Blizzard, Blood, Atom, Space, Void..."
(As Knitemare continued to name every element he has, everyone still was ready to fight as Nathanial suddenly vanished as through nobody noticed but was too focused on the attack.)

"This timeline shall be incinerated into particles!"
(Knitemare then fired the attack but from afar, an fast moving black wave split Knitemare's entire attack in half and managed to cut Knitemare directly in half while surprising everyone else at the same time.)
"W-WHAT...?! W-WHO... DID.. T-THIS?!?!?"
(A foot stomped onto the ground as everyone looked at a muscular-like figure, standing on absolutely nothing but the air, Shibuto and Hinami cried tears of joy knowing exactly who it is.)
"???: So. You're the piece of shit I heard about huh? I finally get to meet your ass in person, man to man..."
(The figure then held a katana with a raven crossguard on his shoulder and revealed himself wearing combat boots, camo jeans and a tank top while smoking a cigarette.)
"Tatsuhiro: The name's Tatsuhiro Magachi, nice to meet you at last, "Shitmare."
"Everyone: TATSUHIRO!!!"
"Tatsuhiro: All of you can take it easy now and get back to the surface, this bastard's mine."
(He then gave Kazuya a pissed off glare as he was not happy which gave Kazuya a serious chill.)
"Kazuya. We will talk later, for now... As I said... Everyone, get to the surface."
(Tatsuhiro began walking on pure air down towards Knitemare in his Final Form.)
"Knitemare: So you don't remember me, Tatsuhiro? It appears after witnessing enough deaths you're ready to come and-"
"Tatsuhiro: DID I ASK YOU TO TALK?!"
(Knitemare was silent with a small gasp.)
"You killed Lotus, his disciples, burned down his dojo, brought hell to all and everyone of and who lived on Earth, made Goxius suffer, ruined the timelines, destroyed God's physical body and now you believe you're the main pinnacle of divine power? Oh-ho-ho-ho... I'm going to knock the HELL out of you, "Pissmare!"
"Knitemare: Then let us waste no more time, for our battle is now!"
"Tatsuhiro: Couldn't have said it better myself!"
