Three hours later~

"Look I can see the city dad! Wow those buildings are tall!" Jyn shouted in excitement.

In the distance was a colossal city, industrial works that stretched for miles. Gigantic skyscrapers that went into the clouds, their foundations were thick and wide. Surrounding them were countless smaller buildings bathed in a thick smog, so much that only the tallest of the smaller buildings managed to peak through the fog layers. Apart from that, the only other blemish would be the many pillars of smoke rising from various parts of the city and the large amount of damaged collapsed buildings.

Although the group was still quite far away, they could hear distant gunshots from the great city.

"Indeed they are but the pollution really ruins them, that's why me and your mother moved out to the family farm." Grim remarked.

"It was really your fathers idea. I didn't really mind the smog, though...the fresh air was nice." Laura mused with a faint smile.

The group were currently walking along a elevated highway 6 meters off the ground, it was packed full of abandoned cars and dead bodies seeping black goo. It was quiet the frightening sight but the group had gotten somewhat used to such scenes over the past several weeks. Only the rotten smell of dead flesh made them flinch.

Rick looked at Grim and suggested. "We should only stay on the outskirts, maybe pick a few people off and hopefully find some supplies."

Grim agreed and replied. "Safety first."

Grim and Rick equipped their hunting rifles, ready for any threat that might appear.

As the group reached the outskirts of the city, they heard a voice from one of the abandoned cars. Shockingly, they recognized the person who was speaking.

"Greetings people of Telos. I as you may know am the current president of the Allied States, Morteus Willard. Today will mark our final act of defiance!" The car radio was playing quite loudly disturbing the quiet highway.

The man speaking on the radio had a coarse yet charismatic voice filled with vigor that inspired others, truly the leader of the current world.

"I am deeply saddened by the current turn of events and the ending of our great civilization. Even though this evil god created us just so we could be discarded and destroyed at her whim, I have no doubt that the 3000 years we have been given was an immense blessing! Through the ups and downs, we carved our own path, created many fabulous wonders and reached the stars themselves. We.. we have done well, you have done well my people and now it's time for us to rest."

As the voice went on it increased in strength, resounding louder throughout the abandoned highway.

"Today my people, after 2 weeks of discussions and after every possible attempt to thwart the impending apocalypse failed, I and the other leaders of our people have decided our own fate!"

"5 minutes ago, we launched our entire nuclear arsenal, every city on our beautiful planet has been targeted. This.. this suffering that has been imposed upon us cannot continue, we will not go silently into the night, no, we will shine brilliantly like a thousand stars!"

The radio began to sputter but the message was still audible. "Thi..s my will be my fin..al act as the 22nd presi..dent of the Allied Sta..tes, may Orion bles-..... Bless you all.. "

The group stood there silently as the message ended, all that remained was an eerie static.

Grim looked blankly at the car which played the radio. Rick had a look of shock on his face, his hands were shaking.

"Don't fuck with me!!!!" Grim screamed in anger as he took his hunting rifle and smashed the car window shattering it. His sudden outburst frightened Laura, Jyn and Mary.

"Everything we did in order to survive! To live! And you decided it was okay just to throw it all away? You made the decision for us? Fuck you! I refuse!" Grim repeatedly smacked the car as hard as he could.

Laura couldn't stand and watch anymore, without thinking she jumped towards Grim and latched onto his waist. "Husband! Please stop!"

Grim was blinded by rage. All the people he has killed, the people who he made his wife and son kill.. was it really for nothing?

"Please.. please, stop." Laura pleaded with tears streaming down her cheeks.

He stopped bashing the car with his rifle which was now bent. Breathing heavily Grim slumped down as his knees hit the hard concrete road, his an expression of what could only be described as immense desolation.

Laura was still holding him tightly with her face buried in Grim's back, she was still crying and sniffling.

"Daddy.. what's wrong?" Jyn asked as he looked at his father with a somewhat afraid expression. He didn't understand what was going on as he was still only 8 years of age.

Grim didn't say anything, he looked up into his son's eyes. 'He inherited his mothers looks, only his eyes.. His eyes came from me.. My son.'

The thought seemed to linger in his mind, lighting a fire within that had nearly been snuffed out. Standing up shakily, he pulled Laura and Jyn in for a hug.

"Dad.. " Mary looked at her father with wet eyes.

Rick hugged her close. Although he was never one to cry, a tear slid down his cheek.

Grim held his son and wife tightly, he kissed them both on the cheek. His face steeled with determination. "No.. I won't give up!" He growled hoarsely.

He turned towards Rick and said in a deep voice. "We need to leave, right now!"

Rick nodded.

The group ran back towards the direction they came as fast as their feet could carry them. It was only minutes later that they were greeted by a blinding sight.

In the distance on the edge of the horizon, bright lights could be seen. It was as if there were several suns rising with their lights shining over the mountains like miniature sunrises.

The group stopped abruptly, shocked they stood there with thumping hearts staring at the rising suns. Seconds later, a rumbling roar could be heard from the sky above.

An object moving too fast for the eye to see pierced through the sky with a grey cloud trail following it, it flew directly above the trembling group and left a sonic boom in it's wake. As the object flew past, it went towards the center of the city at lightning speeds.

Grim was sweating bullets, a vein had popped on his temple. It could be seen how tense he was as he looked around, hoping to find some kind of suitable cover.

After a quick look around, he spotted a rather sturdy green truck.

"It's too late! Get down behind that truck!" He shouted to Rick who nodded in response. As the group took shelter behind the truck, they waited anxiously. Adrenaline was pumping through their veins that left them in a hyper aware state.

Seconds felt like years as the time passed.

Laura couldn't help but look at a nearby car's side-mirror that had a view of the city reflected in it.

Suddenly a flash of light so bright, the dusk of the day was wiped from existence. It was the brightest thing Laura had ever seen in her life. She screamed in pain as she covered her eyes. The group huddled together in fright, the truck they were hiding behind began to melt and the tires had caught fire.

What came next was a rolling wave that came from the epicenter of the blinding light. It shattered the buildings to dust, even the heaven piercing skyscrapers were just dominoes to be tumbled down as the blast wave rolled over them.

The ground began to shake as the highway tilted from side to side, Grim held his wailing wife and son as tight as he could. Mary was screaming in fear as she held onto her father for dear life.

Finally a crack of thunder so loud it shattered eardrums hit the group and along with it came the wave of destruction that had obliterated the distant city. It smashed into the group with unimaginable ferocity causing the immediate collapse of the 6 meter tall highway they were standing on.

In the distance, the mountains were set alight as hundreds of thousands of trees burned furiously.

As the rubble settled, the thick smoke that drifted from destroyed buildings remains was pulled towards the epicenter of the explosion.

Silence descended, in the background at the center of the once majestic city lay a massive rising ball of fire and lightning 40 miles tall, it continued to rise higher and higher into the upper atmosphere.

This was the final act of the Eruba race, all that remained of their grand cities, the foundations of their civilizations was death, destruction and gigantic mushroom clouds that rose into the sky like colossal, blooming fungal flowers.

3 years later~

A young boy around ten years old was sitting on a big log, the campfire in front of him burning brightly.

The surrounding area was filled with charred trees and a few nearby structures which had collapsed on themselves. The ground was barren and cracked like what you would find if a river dried up during a decade long drought. Nothing green could be seen, only the dull colors brown, grey and black.

The boy was balding, only a few tufts of hair remaining. His skin was sallow and filled with scars. The boy's cheeks were bony and his eyes sunken and his clothes were dirty and littered with blood stains.

He was writing in a little paperback journal that looked well taken care of.

"Another uneventful day.. we've been traveling north for almost a week now. Dad and I haven't managed to find anyone to kill for six days now.. heh, that seems to be all I worry about nowadays. Well that and food."

The boy's stomach grumbled furiously. Holding his stomach the boy whispered. "Be quiet you."

"We've been quite lucky recently, every time we near the seventh day we run across new people to kill.. But I don't know how long that'll last, I'm not optimistic about it."

The boy seemed to notice something as his brows wrinkled. "Stupid buzzing beast, it seems fate isn't going to let you eat us just yet.." The boy seemed to glare at something in the corner of his eye.

He snorted before continuing to write in his diary. "I hate that beast, the bastard that took mama away! If I could get just my hands on it I would tear that stinky shitty beast to pieces! Also, the smell.. It's nearly unbearable! It's like a mixture of rotting flesh, rust and fermented sewage."

The boy coughed violently into his hand afterwards he wiped the hand on his shirt leaving a new blood stain.

"It has been so long since the bright flash that blinded mother and separated us from uncle Rick and Miss Mary, so long since the time where mother eaten by the buzzing beast. I don't know how long I can continue, my cough seems to be getting worse."

"I can see it in his eyes from time to time. Whenever he looks at me, he becomes reinvigorated as if I'm the only thing stopping him from breaking into pieces.. stopping him.. from giving up."

"I know he's denying the situation we're in. I can't take it. Every time I try to speak him about it he just waves it away as if it were nothing."

"This can't go on, I need to tell him. I can't be a crutch for him anymore because.. I can feel it, I know my body. It won't last much longer."

The boy shook his head and muttered. "I don't know what will happen to dad when i'm gone.. I have to make sure he's alright before I leave."

The boy finished and closed the diary, standing up he stretched causing a few crackles from his bones.

Darkness receded as the sun slowly dawned from the horizon, it would be a beautiful sight if it wasn't for the desolate landscape.

The boy perked his ears as he heard footsteps coming towards him. From behind a nearby building a tall man walked out, he was very skinny and was in a similar condition to the young boy.

Many scars littered the man's body, one could tell he was a previously handsome man but time, malnutrition and hideous wounds had worn away his rugged features.

He was carrying a small rabbit. The little animal barely had any fur on it.

"Jyn! I found us some breakfast." Grim smiled as he sat down on the nearby log.

The two prepared it and cooked it over the fire. As they sat down and nibbled their sparse breakfast. Jyn looked towards his father, a sliver of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Dad.. I don't think there's anyone left."

Grim shook his head in disagreement. "We always find someone son, we always do. Don't worry"

"All the water sources we find are contaminated dad, it's hopeless." Jyn continued.

"We have enough water for the next few days, if we use it sparingly we can make last quite a while." Grim replied with a weak smile.

"My cough is getting worse dad, I won't last much longer." Jyn remarked in a morbid tone.

Grim smile grew a little fainter but he kept it as he replied. "It's nothing son, there's a village up ahead. I know they'll have a pharmacy, I can get some medication for you there so cheer up, don't be so negative."

Jyn looked at the ever present fake smile that plastered his fathers face so much these days, anger swelled within him as he gripped his pants so tightly his knuckles turned white.

"DAD STOP!" Jyn shouted as loudly as he could.

Grim was surprised by the sudden outburst from his son. "Stop what son? You're not making any sense."

Jyn ran up to his father and pushed him. "Stop it! Stop saying that it's going to be okay!!!"

Grim was baffled but maintained his balance, he was steady against his son's weak push.

Jyn banged his small fists on his fathers chest, tears began seeping from his eyes. "I can't keep going like this dad! It's a dead end!"

Grim held his son firmly in a hug. "You have to keep going son, no matter how hard. You have to." Grim looked into his son's eyes, 3 years ago they were bright and filled with curiosity and happiness. Now they only showed pain, stress and desolation.

"You need to face reality! I-I can't go.. on." Jyn looked up at his dad, the accumulated stress he's had to endure has made him reach a breaking point.

Grim looked firmly into Jyn's small eyes as he said in a reassuring but strong tone. "You can't give up, you mustn't!"

"But dad.. please understand." Jyn wept into his fathers chest.

Grim gently stroked Jyn head, a few of the remaining tufts of hair coming loose.

"Why dad, tell me why?" Jyn croaked weakly.

"Because.. because.. it's the last thing I promised your mother." Grim sighed.

"Mother?" Jyn thought for a while until it hit him like a bolt of lightning. He leapt back and stared at Grim with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

"You.. you.." Jyn pointed at his father in shock, his mouth opened and closed. Denial and despair painted Jyn's face pale white.

As the two stood there silently, the ground suddenly rumbled with a deafening roar. The ground beneath them shook violently.

It was like the world was being ripped apart, Grim ran over and held Jyn in an embrace. The ground continued to shake up and down like the waves of the sea. After a while, the ground split open and the two fell downward, screams leaving Grim and Jyn's throats.

The fall only lasted a few seconds before they landed on a hard, solid surface. After landing they felt an immense raising feeling that left butterflies in their stomachs.

The hole where Grim and Jyn fell burst apart with a thundering clap, out from the pillar smoke and debris arose a grand pyramid as white as the clouds, it was decorated with gems the size of houses. Glowing runes were engraved onto every massive house sized stone brick that made up the massive structure.

Grim and Jyn held on for dear life as the Pyramid rose higher and higher into the clouds and continued beyond. After a while the structure they were on finally stopped moving, the both of them felt lightweight as if they had gotten a 100 pounds lighter.

"What the!?" Grim looked around in panic, he was currently looking at what used to be the blue sky and all he saw was countless stars and the infinite void of space.

"Where are we?" Jyn looked around vigilantly, he took out his pistol and held it close.

The two were standing on a pearl white platform about 10 meters squared. Grim walked slowly to the edge and gasped. Down below he saw his world, his home, Telos.

It was once a lush green world but now it was just a barren rock, a dead world. The platform he was on was actually a pyramid that stretched all the way down to Telos, it was an impossible feat even for the greatest minds of the Eruba. Only a God could do this!

Grim eyes narrowed, he pulled his son in closely and took out his rifle.

"SHOW YOURSELF AZURE GOD!" Grim shouted loudly. Even though they were in the void of space, his voice echoed as if he were in some grand hall.

From nowhere resounded a melodious laughter. "Congratulations my creations, you are the last two left."

As if a mirage, a woman materialized in front of them, hovering a couple meters off the ground.

*Gulp!*

Grim was absolutely stunned, even though he loved his wife dearly and claimed she was the most beautiful in his heart this woman in front of him was beyond comprehension, there was no comparison. Her beauty could make all men turn into rabid animals that would tear apart anyone or anything just for a glance from her, though that would be difficult considering there was a mist concealing her eyes.

The woman giggled as she observed Grim's dazed appearance. Her absolutely tyrannical bust shook from her laughter, the beasts on her robe quickly hid away as her dress threatened to tear, many of the beasts shivered as if they had been experiencing some unending trauma.

Grim regained his composure, even though this woman was so beautiful even he felt swayed, he shook away those feelings in disgust and steeled his heart. This was the woman who ended his race, put them through unending suffering and caused the situation that lead to the death of his beloved.

"What do you want azure god?" Grim said coldly as he glared at the goddess.

"Azure god? I have a name you know, I am the infinitely powerful Ariel!" Ariel laughed as she spread her arms out and lightning streaked behind her in a grand display.

"This is truly a wonderful day, one of you will be given the chance to ascend and become a god! Ahh, time truly does fly." Ariel clapped her hands in glee.

"One of us?" Grim's pupils constricted

"Ah yes, only one. The other has to die." Ariel said nonchalantly.

Jyn held his fathers coat tightly and shivered.

Grim pointed at Ariel, hate and grievance shone in his eyes in equal measure. "Why? Why are you doing this? You're an almighty god right? why couldn't you just create some random person and make them a god? Why did you create us and make us suffer!!"

Grim's voice grew louder as the anger and resentment he kept deep within himself burst fourth like an almighty flood. "Why!? Tell me! LOOK ME IN THE EYE YOU DAMN MONSTER AND TELL ME!"

"Oh?" Ariel chuckled.

Grim looked as the mist covering her eyes faded away, from the disappearing mist emerged vibrant golden eyes like two golden stars of ultimate power but there was something else. Something that almost shattered his fragile mind, something that gave him an instinctive feeling of terror.

Within her golden indifferent eyes was an abyss of absolute madness!

Ariel's once untainted Golden eyes were now warped and if one stared too long they would go insane. Grim turned his head away, he didn't dare look.

Ariel tilted her head. "Why you ask? No reason" She smiled sweetly like a grinning devil.

Grim hoped for a better reason but as soon as he saw her eyes, he knew that this goddess was no monster, she was a pure evil demon. There was no real reason behind her actions. Probably only a morbid curiosity at best.

To her, Grim, his family, his entire race were just ants in an ant farm.

"Now, enough chatter! Hurry up and kill each other!" Ariel looked eagerly at the two who were shivering in fear.

Grim managed to get ahold of himself and stopped his shaking hands. He turned around and looked at his son with a gentle gaze.

He dropped his battle worn rifle and smiled. Pulling him into a hug, Grim whispered into Jyn's ear.

"Jyn my son.. my child.. Your mother and me will always love you. The days we spent together before the calamity were the happiest moments in our lives and I hope you remember that too, in your heart." Grim patted Jyn's chest.

"Remember our love, our little farm, Beansprout. Forget the sadness, the hurt, the pain. Be kind my son." Grim looked into his son's eyes and wiped the tears away.

Grim turned around with his back facing Jyn. "You know what to do son."

Grim heard the cocking of a gun behind him, he smiled as he stared at the peerless madwoman in front of him. Her eyes no longer scared him and for the first time in a long time, he felt free.

"Dad.. I know now, the night mother disappeared, you gave me something to drink and I blanked out. I know now that to save me from the buzzing beast she sacrificed herself and I hate you both for it. But I love you both so much.. I.. I can't! I can't kill you too dad! I'm sorry!"

*BANG!*

Grim's mind went blank, he quickly turned around there lay his son, bleeding from his temple limp and lifeless on the ground.

He ran over to his son's corpse, his trembling hand outstretched holding the lifeless Jyn in his arms.

"I.. " Grim didn't know what to say, disbelief, denial and emptiness filled his being.

Ariel clicked her tongue in disappointment, an unamused expression covered her face. "Tsk, could have been a little more exciting.. "

Grim held his son while rocking back and forth singing a lullaby he often sang to him when Jyn was a baby. His eyes were empty, his expression soulless.

♪"Sleep, baby, sleep, Your father tends the crop, Your mother shakes the dreamland tree, And from it fall sweet dreams for thee, through the clouds, You'll fly high, Along with your mother and I, Together forever, sleep well my son.. "♪

Grim took the gun from his son's hand and held it to his head.

*CLICK!*

Ariel put her hands on her hips and giggled. "I can't have you doing that, you have a decision to make."

*CLICK!*

"Don't be like that, come on. You shouldn't get so worked up over such a small thing." Ariel smiled as she stretched out her lithe arm and wiggled her finger from side to side. It was as if she were scolding a naughty child.

*CLICK*

Ariel sighed and decided to ignore Grim's futile efforts to kill himself. "Now, since I'm a benevolent god, I'll give you two choices. You can either become a god or you can refuse. Of course if you refuse you'll get to spend the rest of your life on your home planet, living out the rest of your days in peace or.. you could kill yourself. Doesn't really matter to me. Though.. "

Ariel looked at the barren world below and chuckled. "I wouldn't wanna live on that shit hole, so what's your choice?"

*CLICK!*

"Don't be so hasty.. " Ariel walked behind grim and whispered in his ear. "If you choose the first option I'll bring back your family."

Grim turned around with bloodshot eyes staring directly at Ariel.

"I'll do it!" He shouted as quickly as he could reply, afraid the terrible goddess before him would suddenly renege on her offer.

"Wise choice." Ariel nodded her head with a satisfied expression.

Ariel raised her arm and pointed at Grim with her finger which glowed with a shining radiance. "Grim, do you accept this godhood? The one who is there beside every mortal, immortal and god? The one who records those under his watch without rest unfailing in his eternal duty, the one who takes the spirit and sends them to their destination whether that be oblivion, limbo, reincarnation or valhalla?"

Grim reached out his finger until it touched Ariel's, he shouted with determination. "I do!"

"You have witnessed, caused and felt it countless times.. Now accept the title of DEATH!" Ariel shouted, her holy voice rippling through the cosmos.

As a black light engulfed Grim, Ariel stood back and waited.

After a while the black light converged into a tall figure, it was Grim only he was now 6'4 and a bit bony as if he had atrophied. His eyes glowed a pale light and his black hair had turned grey and withered. He wore an ancient looking black business suit that shimmered with a red glow. In his hand was a worn 1970's briefcase with shifting patterns on it.

"Well that was boring, I was hoping they'd fight each other." A playful voice sounded from behind Ariel.

A girl with bright red hair like scarlet fire appeared, it was styled in a cleopatra bob. She had little black head wings and a crown of primordial chaos hovered above her head. She was 5'8, had a fit physique and modest chest, not too big just enough to fit in the palm, her nails were long and shaped like the sharpest blades.

Her brows curved upward like a dragon, her face was matchless with a refined nose, oval lips and blazing red eyes. She wore a long sleeved pink upper robe and a short black and gold skirt that showed off her toned legs. This fiery girl exuded an air of mischievousness.

"I thought it was brilliant, the look on his face when his child died.. so exquisite! Ahh, it's amazing how life can bring so much despair." A woman appeared out from the void. She was 5'10, had long flowing ebony hair darker than the center of black holes and wore a white dress dotted with gold flowers that clung tightly to her voluptuous physique, the dress was so long it dragged behind her like a crystal river.

The peaks on her chest were large and mountainous, they swayed as she walked as they were not tightly bound by her loose dress. On her head were a pair of azure headwings and a crown of green mist, in place of gems were beautiful flowers and crystal vines. With emerald green eyes, a perky nose, seductive heart shaped lips and elegant black eyebrows she radiated an aura of limitless vitality and sacredness.

"Their very existence is a breeding ground for chaos, if it wasn't for mother I would have reformed them long ago." With a flash of light another woman appeared, she was quite tall, at least 6'0. Her violet hair hung just to below her jaw and became shorter as it moved to the back, it was perfectly cut and had no deviations. Her nose was straight with a little upturn and she had an ovoid face, straight eyebrows and amethyst eyes that glowed with an eerie light. She was wearing a plated dress made of unknown metals, intricate runes and designs shone from the many metallic layers that made up her outfit.

Her headwings were colored shiny chrome, the crown on her head was made of of pure light and if one stared too long they would go blind, the gems mounted on the crown looked suspiciously like miniature suns. Even though her body was well hidden behind her dress, you could deduce from her outline that she was truly ample and luscious. From the engravings on her dress to the hairs on her eyebrows, everything about her was absolutely symmetrical and the feeling she gave others was stable and secure shrouded in holiness.

"Mama! Mama!"

Ariel heard a childish but infinitely cute voice, a big smile crept on her face and her eyes shone with a motherly light.

One last girl appeared out of nowhere and jumped into Ariel's embrace. The girl was the smallest out of the previous 3 who came before. She was only 4'10, her chest had two very delicate but tiny hills. Compared to the women from before this girl was as flat as colorado plains but it was quite appropriate considering she looked just like a child.

Her hair was long and white like the iris flower. Her headwings were clear like crystal and the crown on her little head was made up of something Ariel had seen before when she became a god outside of reality, it was nothingness. The only way to tell there was a crown on the little girls head was how the background disappeared when you looked. It was quite surreal.

She had a cute button nose and small pouty lips and her dress was a dull grey. It was as simple as simple could be with no patterns or designs just plain grey. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of silver that glittered in the light.

The four of these girls, who were peerlessly beautiful and as fair as jade were her beloved daughters.

The cute girl buried her tiny head between the planetary bodies that sprung from Ariel's chest.

"Mmm.. so comfy" The little girl mumbled.

The beasts on Ariel's dress were angry at the little girls intrusion and snarled at her, one of them pounced at the girl with it's claws outstretched.

*SLAP!*

The little girl slapped the beast to oblivion causing a ripple like wave on Ariel's bosom.

"Ah.. " A sensitive moan escaped Ariel's lips. She pulled the little girls soft fleshy cheek and scolded. "Naughty girl."

After the instant death of their companion, the other small beasts whimpered in fear before retreating to the furthest reaches of the dress.

"Mama why did you go? You have to stay with me!" The girl pouted angrily at Ariel.

Ariel smiled wryly and replied. "Mama had business to attend, she can't always be by your side."

The little girl's eyes went dark and began seeping nothingness, anything that it touched whether it was the air or the ground below disintegrated. "It's.. always.. They're.. always.."

"Shit! She's gonna blow!" The red headed girl cursed before escaping into the void.

"Oh my, how terrifying." The woman with the exaggeratedly long dress and shiny black hair ripped a tear in space before jumping into it.

"Within nothingness.. not even order can exist!" The tall woman with the violet hair jumped off the platform and flew into the void, her armored dress began to move all over her body until she disappeared and in her place was a 3 meter tall bronze trapezohedron, glowing silver engravings covered it's surface in perfect symmetry. It speed away at inconceivable speeds.

"Ahem!" Grim cleared his throat nervously, although he could feel an unending power surging within himself, he didn't care. All he wanted now was to see his family again.

Grim shook away the nervousness and asked. "Could you bring my family back as you promised?"

The little girl ears perked up when she heard Grim talking, she got down from Ariel's embrace and turned around.

When Grim saw her he was frightened more than he had ever been before. The eyes of the little girl in front of him had disappeared, in their place was two whirlpools of nothingness. Even her body had begun to radiate it so much so that the fabric of reality around the girl dissipated as if it never existed.

With his new power he could sense many new things and the feeling this girl was giving him was dangerous beyond comprehension.

"It's all because of you that Mama can't be with me so.. BEGONE!!!" With a cute shout, the little girl lifted her arm and brought it down in a slashing motion.

Within the next moment, Grim along with half the pyramid and even half the planet Telos below were gone. Not even the stars in the distance were spared as they too had disappeared.

The little girl clapped her hands as if to remove the dust from them.

"Hehe, now mama has no more business and she can play with me!" As she smiled, two cute little canine teeth revealed themselves.

A shadow sneakily materialized behind the unsuspecting girl.

"Uwa!" The little girl shouted in surprise as she was suddenly picked up.

Ariel's eye twitched in frustration as she looked at the cute little girl whose stomach was now resting on her lap.

"Mama what are you doing!?" The girl cried out.

"Discipline." Ariel replied with a cold voice.

The little girl shivered as she heard that, her eyes began to grow wet.

Ariel turned her head to the side and waved her hand. Grim along with his wife Laura and Jyn his son materialized on what remained of the pyramid platform. With another wave of her hand a portal appeared beside them.

"You have your family now go, I'll talk to you later about your future obligations." She remarked sternly.

Grim looked down at his dead world and sighed, he hugged his baffled wife and son then bowed. The family briskly left through the portal. He knew he shouldn't stick around considering he just got erased by that terrifying girl.

"Mama please don't, I was wrong." The girl pleaded with puppydog eyes.

A mischievous smile crept onto Ariel's face, she placed her hand on the struggling girl's bottom.

The little girl squirmed like a frightened kitten.

"Ahh so soft! It's been a while since I've disciplined you." Ariel remarked, she raised her hand slowly.

"Mama noooo!"

*Slap!*

A loud clap shook the surrounding void.
