The Approaching Darkness. (doom)

[The Sentry]

Time.
Time was relative for a being of such magnitude. But it still rolled past. Watching from where? From a place it was not quite sure where, Perhaps he, it was dead. But those foolish mortal should know better that a being made from the evil of men cannot be killed. Unless of course if you kill the men in which the darkness existed.
And that of course was what The Void lived For.

It took a breath and then two, and before it knew it, it existed again. It first thought ran through revenge. Oh how that man will suffer, That puny insufferable counterpart of his. But i needed to plan this. So often did his plans get ruined for his lack of tact. He appeared at his beloved hidey hole, the base of operations as it was. being the polar negative of That of The Sentry. He felt the world as a whole, as it was. It was new, There was something new.
A new form of power.
One to rival The Voids own.
He would see this power. And he would take it.

Doomstadt-

Latveria was known for many things, its people, it dictator, its holds to untarnished life. But Freak storms were not one of them. The sky Poured with torrential rain, as lightning scowled the sky above. All the longer it appeared to be getting worse. As if the storm was moving. As if the blackness, the darkness, the despair it seemed to emanate had a pourpose, a destination.
But that was crazy wasn't it?

"DOOM!" the words echoed through the sky itself. Cold and harsh, and explicitly cruel. The castle rolled into the sights of the storm. and inside Darkness amounted. The shadows formed eyes and spoke again to the man atop the throne.
"DOOM!!" came the words as the enveloping darkness appeared to take form. As shadow itself wrapped around itself, what once stood nothing now stood a moving thing, a creature a beast, that fear itself seemed to be afraid of. The creature appearing to be wearing a black coat and fedora stared at the monarch for what appeared to be an age. as black shadowy tentacles began to rip around the air, sprouting from the beast a black finger rose and pointed again at the monarch
"You have something i would like"

[Victor Von Doom]

Doom watched as the storm outside grew worse, Latveria had not experianced weather such as this in a long time, not in all of Doom's rule, not naturally, anyways. He knew that this weather came from something unnatural, something powerful, and Doom could feel it, something that any man without power would fear, but Doom had power, and he did not fear, Doom feared no one! He sensed the presence coming closer, his ability to sense energy had increased many fold sense he absorbed that godly power, and energy radiated off of this being.

Soon the presence took shape, a humanoid looking shadow wearing a coat and a fedora, and Doom knew that its appearance only warned of the power that the creature had. In the back of his mind, Doom couldn't help but get this feeling that he had seen this creature somewhere before, but this was no time for vague feelings, he was under threat from this monstrosity, and he would not allow that. He stood up as the shadow pointed its finger at him, claiming he has something it wants.

[green]"You come into my country, barge into my castle, enter my Throne Room, and then, then you have to audacity to demand something from me? You are sadly mistakend if you believe that you will gain anything from this encounter!"[/green] Godly energy radiated from Doom as he summoned it to his command, sending a large beam of it at the shadowy creature, and whatever it hit would find that Doom's powers were quite... Explosive.

[The Sentry]

The darkness sneered at the man as he mad his bickerings. Humans were so often prone to such. Things. He sensed humanity in this man, a glimmer of it. But a glimmer was all the void needed to manipulate. he laughed as the man made his accusations

"there is nothing i do not get if i want it Doom, you will learn to respect the power that i wield!" Said The Void. He Threw a bolt at him. He managed to Phase through the majority of it. But there was something repulsively pure about the energy. Purity, and goodness only Maddened The Void, Getting up he began to pace, growing a little in size as more infitendrils began to whip through the air
"I hear you are a man of little fear Victor" Hissed The Void "You would be right to fear me doctor, i have broken every bone in The Hulks body. I have bested all Heroes that have come against me, Heroes that have had the better of you, I have bested them all. You are merely a stepping stone of my my power. A morsel for me to taste on my quest of SUPREMITY!" The Void Lifted his hand and the sky itself shook. The Ground shook. As Violent thunderous bolts of lightning Tore through the castle walls. Pickpocketing its walls, its roofs, its structures Laughing over the noise. The Void grew again. "SURRENDER NOW DOOM AND YOUR PRECIOUS LATVERIA MAY BE SPARED!"

[Victor Von Doom]

Doom sneered at the creature under his mask, this monster believed that it could best Victor Von Doom! He had been bested in the past, that much was true, but no more! Doom had power that most could never even imagine, and he would never look defeat in the face again, triumph would be his, over everything! He raised both of his hands, godly energy crackling from it. Doom watched as the first bolt he had launced only phased through the shadowy creature, causing a crater in the stone where it hit, fling debris everywhere.

[green]"You are mistaken, once again. It is I who shall rein supreme, and you will be my stepping stone, I will destroy all in my way, and that means you will falter to my power!"[/green] Doom watched as he summoned power that destroyed a part of Doom's castle, but this did nothing to harm the Lord of Latveria, it only angered him. He wasted no time in barraging the monster with a powerful combonation of his own mystical powers paired with the godly energy, shooting and creating bolts of energy at his new foe constantly.

[The Sentry]

The man was no pushover, this was Obvious. But The Void had not Tracked this man down because he was weak. He had tracked him down because of his power. And what did those with power always desire?
More Power!

As More lightning began to tear at different parts of the castle, it gave a fearsome interlude to a battle that will reign in history. A battle The Void was sure that would be "The Fall Of Doom!" He had no time to react Doom Threw more energy at him. This time a mixture of purity and mysticism, it stung at his insides like a rotting pain. Throwing him into a wall. It crashed at his landing. How was he stupid enough to simply not Phase out of this attack. The Void was weak at his new lease of life. But weakness was nothing compared to the power he still had. A giant peice of the castle fell away and down to the ground and a portion of the Horizion could be seen. as the Castle was indeed upon a hill. Giving doom a sight of his precious Latveria being absconded By vicious black lightning
"Can you hear those screams, The screams of your people as they suffer, as i eat their souls! and they die with there utmost terror upon there eyes" Cackled the beast as he stumbled up from the blast

He began to float now. His size growing ever large as he began to look less like a man, and more an entity of Darkness. Black hands gestured upon the sides of him as giant pieces of castle tore away from their holdings, Peices the size of large air crafts. Darkness wrapped around them. Like giant hands. The cruel face laughed at as it looked at the diminutive man. "Oh how Little you know Victor" Said the being as it threw the giant Pieces of castle at the Good Doctor. Releasing them it shot a barrage of Darkforce energy towards him as well. all the while the mixed sound of terrifying screams, thunderous lightning and a cruel cackle sounded
The Voids serenade as it were.

[Victor Von Doom]

Doom was satisfied to see the creature flung back againts the wall from his barrage of attacks, it seemed that he wasn't as invinceable as he had claimed to be, but Doom knew all to wel that from what he was sensing, that this creature had much more power then it had used so far, this battle was long from over, and it would destroy his castle, maybe even his beloved land of Latveria, and that notion angered him.

He watched as a chunk of the castle collapsed, and gave him a view of his land, of his people. The giant storm was destroying Latveria, Doom's country, his people, they were dieing, and this monster was responsible! [green]"You will pay dearly for this!"[/green] Anger flooded Doom, and with it, a new source of power. It seemed that along with the godly energy he had taken from Angel, he had also gained this new power that reacted to his emotions, and he could feel his already undefeatable might increase by ten fold, it would be the end for this being of darkness!

His pupils turned black, and Doom released an explosion of mystical and godly energy that reflected the castle piecies away from him, and possibly back at the shadow. He held his right hand out, and summoned a blade to it, the blade called Rozycots. Doom did not know the name of this blade before he summoned, nor did he know he could even summon it, but it was as if he wasn't in complete control over himself anymore, insane power filled his veins, and demanded action, and Doom would gladly give just that.

Doom waved the blade at the beast, as if he was slashing at him, regardless of the fact that he was nowhere within reach of his striking range. In response to his swing, more energy came out, it seemed this blade could channel his power, focus it into a more deadly force. A large arrow of godly might and magic shot forth straight at the shadow, now the fight had really begun.

[The Sentry]

The Void watched as his attacks did nothing. How frustrating he thought to himself. This being this. Doom would indeed be harder to beat then he first thought. He however was not afraid there was nothing ever The Void was afraid of
"I AM FEAR ITSELF!" screeched the creature.

Doom power suddenly magnified. this irked the creature somewhat, perhaps now their powers were some what more equal. Equal, but not matched! Void watched as Doom revealed a sword. Of some sort of orgin, Somehow The Void Sensed this sword would actually be able to hurt him. There was something wrong. He was weaker than he normally was. Just a minuscule amount, but it was a weakness and that was already enough. The Void Landed when it was ready to attack. When suddenly something.. He looked down to see a bright purple cut across his torso.

The grounds shook, the ground shook. as if there were earthquakes all around "YOU DARE TO HARM ME!" screeched the void. The shadow grew as if the anger pulsed through its being tentacles flew as like a cape. as the darkness around him grew bigger. With a quick flick hundreds of tentacles began to wrap themselves around the monarch
"Welcome to your fears doom!"

[Victor Von Doom]

Doom watched as the monster screeched, claiming it was fear itself, but Doom had to disagree, Doom had experienced fear, and it was nothing like this. Doom was satisfied to hear another screech, but this one was that of agony, whether it was because Doom had actually caused it real harm with that bright cut across its torso, or because that blow damaged its ego more then anything else. Doom held his sword up, prepared for another strike, but before he had a chance, the monster unleashed another attack.

Tendrils of shadow came out of the monster, and they moved to wrap around Doom. He looked for a way out, but saw that there was none, and he would have no choice but to experience the effects of whatever these tendrils did. As they wrapped around him, he felt something, something that he hated feeling more then anything else. He felt fear. Doom clenched his teeth as he saw himself without his mask, witnessed the horror of his destroyed face, and much more then that, things that he did not wish to describe. He could feel his strength waining, but he used what power he had to fight the effects, although it did not seem to doing much.

[The Sentry]

Lightning cracked as the laughter of the beast got louder and louder. Flying down to the ground The Void took his most human appearance yet, How he loved the deception of appearance. He felt the fear of the monarch, he fed on it. He saw what Victor Von Doom Truly feared, and that was a power none would truly understand.

The Monarch collapsed on the ground as large raspy breaths escaped his mask. He had done a blow. The Void smiled as it held up its hand, cracking its fingers "Do you see yet Doom? do you see what it is you face?" Walking now Still a black flowing cape flowed behind the creature "Below you see your people dying, their souls feed me power, feed me strength, every second i grow stronger from the death of your beloved people, can you say you grow stronger as well?" mocked the void as he grew closer to The Doctor. "What say you join them Doctor?" Laughed The Void as he picked up the Doctor like a stone, throwing him towards his beloved Town. He watched him break through walls, he watched as the doctor shot like a meteor towards his beloved town. Teleporting closer. He waited for arrival. Here now the screams were brilliant. And excellent crescendo for the climax of the battle.

[Victor Von Doom]

Doom was lacking in strength now, mere moments ago he had been on par with this monster, and now he was drained, the effort to resist the tendrils proving to be to much, but Doom was not a man to give up, his determination overriding his exhausted state. He was on his knees, preparing to stand up to face the monster once more when he picked him up, and threw him towards his people, his dieing people.

Doom could feel his strength returning, his godly might did not take long to regenerate, and that would prove to be useful in this battle, and in the ones to come. Before he could hit the ground, he used a device on his suit to allow him to fly, floating in midair, conserving the strength that he had for a great blow againts this being of shadow.

Doom had dropped his blade, leaving it back at his now destroyed Doomstadt, but he was not concerned with that. He held out both of his hands, feeding all of the power he had into them, creating a weapon made out of energy. It was huge, but kept no solid shape, constantly moving around. Doom knew that this was his final strike, and he would make it a powerful one. [green]"You will know the wrath of Doom!"[/green] He yelled out these words as he charged at the monster, flying at extreame speeds, striking once he got into range, and this blow would contain much more power then any other he had inflicted on his foe.

[The Sentry]

Void watched as yet again his plans were foiled. He was really waiting for that final skid across the ground. As rain pounded the ground he looked around as the screams grew louder.

This was Dooms true weakness. it was his people, it was his attachment, his association to humanity, something he could exploit! But before he had time to act. The void was cut. at the same place. Purple blood spilled from the creature, it fingered it and brought it up to his face. He had never seen his own blood, he had never even thought that he could bleed. He was simply shocked that this small cut, it was...it was still his...blood.

Clenching his fist over the blood The creature scowl. "you will pay for making me see my blood!" yelled the creature "something you cannot understand" Said The void as he split in two "Strike one, and two will grow" as he split into more. Soon their were five identical creatures all circling the doctor.

Growling they all began to grow in each their own ways. each resembling monstrous behemoths every one of them. Growing as large as dinosaurs there voices sounded as one as they began to grab his people from thier man arms "WATCH!!" growled the creatures "WATCH AS YOUR PEOPLE SUFFER!"

He could only imagine what they were seeing, there beloved dictator scared and growling before this beast of burden as an unnatural storms cackled around the sides.

[Victor Von Doom]

Doom laughed, he laughed at the Void's shock at the site of his own blood, this creature had obviously never been harmed before, but now Doom had changed that! He continued to laugh, even as it split into copies and began picking up his people, his rage had passed, Doom knew that this battle was drawing to an end, and even if Doom were to lose, he would take away one pleasure from this monster.

[green]"I will not be witnessing the pain and suffering of my people any longer, your destruction of Latveria is to be ceased, at once."[/green] Of course Doom didn't expect the monstrosity to stop the slaughter of his people, he had other methods of ending this. He held out his hand, summoning more godly power, paired with his own mystical energies, and teleported his people away from the shadow creature, leaving only the dead behind. He deposited his people in a safe place, where the monster wouldn't be able to find them.

[green]"Now that my people are safe, we can resume our battle, between the two of us."[/green] Doom did not have much energy left, but it would suffice. This monster would not defeat Doom without exposing itself to more pain in the process!

[The Sentry]

At once the screams died. The people were gone leaving only broken homes and dead bodies. The creatures growled as they all turned to look at doom. Five monstrous beings growled at the doctor.

And then they dissapeared and the void appeared again. the man of shadow yawned its arms open "and so it brings up to our climax Doctor" Mocked the being. It was through toying now that the people were gone its strength no longer grew, he had no more souls to eat. His power was enough, to crush this puny creature. Gesturing his hands upwards black tornados began to appear. The rushed through buildings and began to tear through the quaint environment. He had came for this power, and yes he still wanted it. But he was starting to see, that he had enough power as it was, perhaps he did not need more, but he still needed to end this man, this beast that stands. How he loathed those things that live

Two shadowy fist appeared from nowhere on both sides of the Doctor as they thrust towards him with intention of smashing him between them. And as an added affect the black tornadoes of darkforce energy were beginning to draw closer than the doctor

[Victor Von Doom]

Doom watched as the five copies of the creature disappeared, leaving only one, normaly sized shadowy humanoid in their steed. The creature seemed to be a little bored, now that Doom's people were no longer here for it to feed on, but it still wanted to fight, that was obvious by the two crushing fists it summoned on either side of him, obviously aiming to end him in one final strike, but Doom would not fall.

Doom, his reflexes faster then ever now that his body contained that godly energy, jumped back out of the fists crushing force with ease, raising a powerful barrier to block the dark energies that it sent at him, but Doom's strength was wearing thin, it would only be a small matter of time before he collapsed from over-exertion, he did not see how he would defeat this enemy, but Doom would not fail, he would not die!

Doom moved his hand in a slashing motion at the monster, summoning three arrows of powerful energy that instantly launched themselves at his foe.

[The Sentry]

The Void watched as his attack where foiled again. again and again he managed to dodge the better of his attacks. The Void smashed the ground in anger, causing a mini earthquake as he did. He looked up as anger flushed through his eyes as three bolts of energy came towards him.
"Oh please" he said as he flicked his hand and the bolts dissapeared in a black vortex. Staring up to Doom the void grew as large as galactus and stared down at the doctor he could feel his strength waning now. he would win this battle if it took days years he would win.

but why?

The Void questioned his actions something he had never done before, perhaps; that was indeed the problem. he had always done the way he had done things. Because it was the way he born to do them, and i such perhaps he was simply born to fail. Raising his foot to squash doom like a bug he faltered. Shutting off everything he had summoned, the rain, the lightning the tornadoes. he formed back into a man. and crossed his arms as he faced the doctor who appeared to be simply focusing on standing.

Leering over him he Folded his arms and raises his head a tiny bit. "Doctor, perhaps there is an arragment we have yet too look" he stepped closer to the tiring doctor "i could squash you like a bug right here" The void said as he held his fist and crushed it "And i know you would let me because of your foolish pride" The Void paused for a second as he began to pace around the Doctor "But something came to me you see, imagine the things we could acieve together, there is one thing i ask of you, and you may have my help to wield whatever plan it is you wish" The creature paused for a couple of seconds
"Kill Robert Reynolds" it said with a degree of finality
