Sun And Death

                                    

                                          
A piece of Dead Virus blasted out of Lucifer's fingertips as the man cocked his hand like a gun, eating through the wooden spikes as it chased after Nier. The teen managed to duck down just in time, the orb of darkness chewing away at the house that was behind him. The stone on the building began to turn gray before it cracked, breaking into dust. "Let's see how you deal with this." Lucifer opened his book and placed his palm over it. He ripped out one of the pages, throwing it on the ground.
A disgusting glowing glob of black darkness grew out of the page, which began to make a loud ringing sound. The ring started to distort and morph, disturbingly beginning to sound like a baby crying. The darkness took shape, and paper began to appear into a pair of arms and legs that grew out of the mass. When it finished, a large red ogre appeared. It roared and charged at Nier, swinging a piece of a house it used as a makeshift club.
Nier blocked the strike and rammed his fist into the monster's stomach. It ignored the damage and grunted as it raised its weapon, smashing its weapon into the side of Nier's head. The boy groaned as he was flung back, the spot where he'd been hit igniting with a burst of fire. He rolled across the ground, trying to put the fire out. "Lucky!" Nier called out.
The ogre managed to take another step, but in an instant its head was torn clean off by the wooden dragon that had wrapped around the town. The jaws of the beast had locked in around the neck of the ogre and easily ripped it off. The red undead creature crashed to the floor. For a moment it seemed like it was actually dead, but then suddenly it sprung back up. Black paper exploded from its neck wound, and a new head grew back.
The ogre laughed and swung its club into the eye of the dragon, causing the creature to howl. The wooden dragon smashed its full weight into the zombie and sent it flying through the village. It began chasing after the zombie roaring and spewing out an intense wave of green fire.
Lucifer stood at the town's other side, watching the fight with a bored look. Slowly, the man turned to look at the many people that hadn't yet made it out of the village. The faintest hint of a smile came to his lips as he raised his hand towards them and blasted out his Virus, though not at Nier. Instead, they all stabbed into the backs of the fleeing civilians. "No!" Nier yelled. He slammed his hand into the ground hard enough to shake the entire village. Rows of plants formed barriers around some of the people, sadly though many weren't saved in time, their bodies crumbling and breaking away to dust.
Pages flew through the air towards Lucifer, and that darkness came back, morphing over the paper. Suddenly, the crumbling people around Nier rose up, reformed through Lucifer's power, and all charged at the hero with mad cackles. They were just regular humans, though, and their attacks bounced off of the teen, their limbs breaking and twisting. They didn't stop though, even as their arms were torn off of their bodies just from the Super walking into them.
"Stop this now!" Nier screamed out. Lucifer stared at the Lord, his face remaining blank. "Lucifer!"
Hope watched the fight, her eyes darting back and forth as the two men fired attacks at each other. "You know for the Lord of the Land that Nier guy isn't really using any animals or anything. He seems to be limiting himself by only using plants. Poseidon can create water and also mess with gravity, so I'm sure a Lord of freaking Life could do more than make plants move in cool ways, right?"
"There is more to a Lord's power than just their control over an element." Max Lighting stated. "Nier right now is a young kid much like you. The spark and desire to be a hero aren't there yet. So instead he inverts his power, much like Lucifer is doing."
"Inverts?"
"It means to flip something or put it the other way around." Her mother explained. "Though I'm not sure what it has to do with powers."
