Multiversity

Photonegative [Part Two]

X blasted through the air with explosions from his hands, while M runs across the rooftops chasing after him. A group of pins fall into the tiles along the rooftop, phasing into the tiles as they explode. M leaps over the exploding tiles, landing on the next roof, X going in to land over by a field. M leaps off of the roof, just as it explodes behind him, launching him further. M lands on the ground, running after X who was coming in for a landing. X lands on the grass in a roll, breaking into a sprint as he shoots across the field with explosions launching from his hands. X stops after getting fairly far from the nation, M catching up to him on foot. X turns around, a pin in his hand. "You know... I was only sent to get intel on your whereabouts. But now... I want some excitement. So..." He scatters the pins into the ground. "I'm going to kill you. And bring your head back for Sir Queue." M continues across the field, having kept an eye on where the various pins had landed. X smirks, just as M dives to the left, continuing to run towards X. X tsks. "So, you were paying attention. That's a good eye you've got there. But that won't be enough to STOP ME!" X rockets towards M, reaching out his hand to grab M. M summons his katana into his hand, slashing up at X, who dodges backwards, shooting off a blast at M. M slashes the blast with the katana, bolting forward at X, who tosses pins into the air. M dives backwards to avoid the pins, trying to keep an eye on where they were landing, just as X bolts forward. "Eyes on me!" X starts jabbing at M, who skillfully dodged every jab with ease, before slashing forward. X leaps backwards, throwing more pins at M. A pin snags onto M's glove, as M quickly removes it, throwing it away as it explodes. M summons the spear to his hand, throwing it at X, who responds with a snap of the fingers. The ground tears apart, the explosion launching dirt and grass into the air. The spear pierces through some of the debris, before being stopped by a large chunk of earth. X hurled pins at the various debris, which explode immediately. M shields himself as the debris shoots past him. Among the debris, X appeared in front of M, reaching out. M summons Black Heart's blade, smacking X with the blunt edge. X tags the blade with a pin before kicking off of it. The blade explodes in M's hand, the force knocking him back. M skids across the ground, summoning the spear to his hand again. X blasts around M with explosives, dropping pins all around M while cutting him off. M slides underneath X, making it outside of the circle as it explodes behind him, creating a large pillar of fire. X blasts himself into the sky, spinning around wildly as pins scatter all around M. M bites his lip, summoning the spear to his hand trying to find X. A pin falls directly above M, who dives out of the way. The pin enters his spear, as it explodes. X drops down, kicking M with an explosion boosted kick. M skids across the grass, as the field around him explodes. All of the grass that was once there was replaced with stone and ash. X laughs. "I never would've imagined you would be this weak! They hyped you up as a threat, but all you are is a child. You have no power, you're not even worth my time." Holds out his hand to M. "Die." A massive explosion shoots from X's hand, engulfing M, leaving nothing behind. "Good riddance..." X goes to leave, before being struck in the gut by a fist. M quickly spin kicks X in the head, knocking him to the ground. M shakes his fist, summoning his katana. "Go to hell." Swings his katana blade down, X's body completely exploding as M is blown back. X appears in the air, gripping his head. "Why...WHY! I was excited that you would be someone who could best me. But all you've proven is that you're just someone with nothing. No one to follow you. And no powers to help you. You only get by from stealing. And now you're just refusing to die. What do you have to prove?" M pulls out his camera. X hurls pins at M, a click going off as the pins sink into the ground around him. M lowers the camera, exhaling. "So...you really want to see it..." X holds out his hand, a swirling of fire appears in his hand. "I'm going to remove you from this world." M smirks. "Try it." X lets out a yell, blasting towards M, quickly slamming his hand onto the ground, creating an explosion that launches the two of them into the air. M tries to regain his balance, as X appears above him, aiming his hand at him. M summons his rapier, quickly jabbing it into X's hand, which causes the explosion to detonate in his hand. X recoils back, his hand having been blown off. M lands back on the ground, X slowly coming to a landing. X grips his missing hand. "You...dare..." M suddenly appears in front of X, swiftly kneeing him in the gut, before kicking him away. X places his hand on the ground as he skids across it, the ground being torn up and filling the air with the ash from the explosions. M looks around him, the ash creating a cloud of black covering a large area. X slowly stands up, a handful of pins in his hand. "Didn't think I'd ever have to use this on you. But you've left me no choice..." X hurls the pins into the cloud of ash, the pins vanishing as M attempts to run through the cloud towards X. Suddenly, an explosion occurs in front of M, blowing him back. X blasts himself into the air, as the cloud of ash starts exploding, M being blown from explosion to explosion. The cloud finally clears, M having burns and open wounds pouring blood. M glared up at X, who looked down to him from above. X looked down with a serious expression. "You disappointed me..." A pin is thrown down, implanting itself into M's head. X sighs. "Goodbye...M." X snaps his fingers. Cracks run through M's body, before contorting, exploding into a blaze of fire and gore. X turns away from M, before something shoots past his head. X looks up at the object sailing into the distance. "Is that...a spear?" He turns around, seeing M standing there. There were no wounds, not any sign of exploding. He was completely fine. X glared down at M. "How...HOW! HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE! I BLEW YOUR F*CKING HEAD OFF!" M pulls out his camera, holding it up in front of him, before turning it around to face himself. "Photo...negative." M snaps a picture of himself, the lens zooming in to his eye as the flash goes off. A wave of photographs shoot out from M's eye, circling around him before flooding into the camera. M reaches into the lens of the camera, slowly pulling out the swarm of photographs that were merged into a long pole. As he pulled it from the camera, his hand went through his own torso, coming out through the other end. The pole followed his hand, growing longer as he pulled it out of his back. He held the pole at his side, as the photographs seemed to invert, before fading away, revealing a scythe in M's hand. The handle of the scythe was silver in colour with the top of it having a camera lens pointed outwards. From the camera lens came the blade, which was light blue in colour. The blade looked to be hazy, as if it weren't there. A digital render of the blade, but as M slams the base of the scythe on the ground, the scythe blade became physical. M glared out at X, photonegative in hand while X stared down with a blank expression. "H-How...what are you?"
