I know the schedule's been a bit spotty, been very busy, so I promise that, for at least the next 4 days, including today, daily chapters posted exactly on time :) <3 -----="" "hup!"="" he="" sprinted="" over="" towards="" one="" of="" the="" tables="" with="" a="" free="" spot.="" each="" table="" was="" wooden,="" filled="" with="" several="" platters="" that="" had="" mountains="" of="" hot="" dogs="" on="" them.="" long="" wooden="" benches="" could="" be="" seen="" on="" either="" side,="" taking="" up="" space.="" "15="" seconds!"="" as="" the="" judges="" counted="" down,="" dorian="" glanced="" at="" the="" contestant="" sitting="" next="" to="" him.="" it="" was="" the="" real="" inigo="" montoya.="" "uh,="" hello.="" i'm="" dorian."="" he="" stuttered="" out,="" staring="" at="" the="" man.="" he="" had="" never="" expected="" to="" meet="" the="" character="" in="" real="" life="" and="" had="" no="" idea="" what="" to="" say.="" the="" man="" glanced="" at="" him.="" "my="" name="" is="" inigo="" montoya."="" the="" man's="" voice="" was="" smooth="" and="" confident,="" carrying="" a="" rich="" spanish="" accent="" that="" made="" his="" words="" unmistakable.="" after="" he="" spoke,="" he="" turned="" to="" look="" at="" the="" hot="" dogs,="" his="" eyes="" blazing="" with="" passion.="" "i="" have="" no="" idea="" how="" i="" came="" to="" be="" here…="" but="" hot="" dogs,="" i="" know="" you="" are="" my="" enemy.="" i="" will="" defeat="" you."="" inigo's="" body="" language="" made="" his="" words="" seem="" grand,="" "prepare="" to="" die."="" "10="" seconds!"="" as="" the="" judges="" continued="" to="" count="" down,="" dorian="" noticed="" something.="" the="" closer="" the="" judges="" got="" to="" 0,="" the="" more="" and="" more="" aware="" he="" felt.="" his="" eyes="" widened="" as="" he="" realized="" something.="" 'my="" soul…="" my="" powers…="" i="" can="" feel="" them="" returning!'="" it="" seemed="" that,="" for="" this="" challenge,="" he="" would="" be="" able="" to="" use="" his="" full="" strength="" once="" it="" started.="" he="" was="" only="" cut="" off="" from="" his="" powers="" before="" it="" began.="" 'still…="" even="" if="" i="" can="" shift="" forms="" or="" use="" my="" abilities,="" how="" am="" i="" supposed="" to="" win="" against="" that?'="" he="" turned="" to="" stare="" at="" the="" gargantuan="" obelisk="" the="" tormentor.="" the="" god="" monster="" was="" huge,="" far="" bigger="" than="" anything="" else="" in="" sight,="" easily="" 40="" meters="" tall="" sitting="" down.="" "5="" seconds!"="" "anakin…="" you="" were="" a="" brother="" to="" me.="" don't="" make="" me="" defeat="" you="" once="" more!"="" his="" ears="" almost="" stretched="" out="" as="" he="" heard="" the="" jedi="" obi-wan="" rebuke="" the="" sith="" darth="" vader.="" both="" were="" sitting="" at="" a="" table="" off="" to="" his="" right.="" off="" to="" his="" left,="" he="" heard="" still="" more="" familiar="" speakers,="" "i="" was="" born="" in="" the="" darkness…="" bred="" in="" it…="" there="" can="" be="" no="" balance="" in="" the="" shadows…"="" bane's="" mechanical="" voice="" rang="" out.="" "there="" cannot="" be="" shadow="" without="" light.="" everything="" in="" life="" has="" balance."="" thanos="" replied,="" closing="" his="" hand="" on="" the="" partially="" complete="" infinity="" gauntlet="" he="" wielded.="" dorian's="" eyes="" widened="" as="" he="" saw="" that.="" 'oh="" man…="" they="" really="" are="" all="" here.="" the="" various="" characters="" i've="" referenced.="" think,="" dorian.="" how="" do="" i="" win="" this?="" i="" need="" to="" complete="" the="" challenge="" to="" get="" the="" inheritance.'="" unlike="" the="" lust="" inheritance,="" the="" design="" of="" this="" gluttony="" inheritance="" seemed="" centered="" around="" this="" competition.="" he="" had="" to="" actively="" win="" to="" receive="" it.="" "3…2…1…"="" "begin!"="" immediately,="" dorian="" reached="" forward,="" grabbing="" a="" hot="" dog.="" right="" after="" he="" did="" that,="" however,="" absolute="" mayhem="" unfolded.="" boom="" dorian="" was="" blasted="" backwards,="" his="" entire="" table="" incinerated="" in="" an="" explosion.="" poor="" inigo="" montoya="" was="" just="" a="" regular="" human="" and="" died="" instantly,="" his="" last="" move="" proudly="" stabbing="" one="" of="" the="" hot="" dogs="" with="" his="" rapier="" before="" perishing.="" bits="" of="" wood="" and="" rock="" shot="" into="" the="" air,="" clouds="" of="" dust="" fizzling="" off.="" "huh?!"="" dorian="" grunted="" out="" as="" he="" spun="" around="" and="" landed,="" cradling="" a="" hot="" dog="" in="" his="" hands.="" he="" looked="" out="" at="" the="" scene="" before="" him="" in="" sheer="" shock.="" the="" moment="" the="" judges="" said="" go,="" all="" of="" the="" villains="" sitting="" at="" the="" table="" had="" taken="" the="" opportunity="" to="" attack.="" what="" better="" way="" to="" win="" a="" contest="" than="" to="" ensure="" that="" you="" were="" the="" only="" competitor?="" however,="" each="" character="" stayed="" true="" to="" their="" motivations,="" pulled="" from="" whatever="" movie="" they="" had="" been="" in.="" darth="" vader="" launched="" obi-wan="" away,="" using="" the="" mystical="" force="" that="" apparently="" worked="" here,="" jumping="" after="" him="" with="" a="" lightsaber.="" "the="" jedi="" are="" the="" ones="" in="" the="" wrong,="" obi-wan!="" i="" did="" what="" i="" had="" to="" because="" i="" could="" see="" that!"="" "anakin!="" if="" that="" is="" what="" you="" truly="" believe,="" then="" you="" are="" lost!"="" bwssshh="" the="" duo="" broke="" out="" in="" a="" lightsaber="" duel,="" jumping="" among="" the="" treetops="" of="" champions="" park,="" completely="" ignoring="" the="" hotdog="" competition.="" thanos,="" on="" the="" other="" hand,="" had="" ignored="" all="" the="" other="" competitors="" and="" vanished,="" using="" his="" infinity="" gauntlet="" to="" teleport="" himself="" into="" the="" air,="" floating="" directly="" in="" front="" of="" the="" giant="" obelisk="" the="" tormentor.="" "your="" presence="" here="" has="" thrown="" this="" competition="" out="" of="" balance…="" how="" could="" any="" singular="" being="" compete="" against="" a="" being="" of="" such="" proportion="" like="" yourself?"="" thanos="" shook="" his="" head,="" his="" voice="" deep="" and="" methodical.="" obelisk="" had="" picked="" up="" an="" entire="" table="" and="" was="" reaching="" to="" eat="" the="" whole="" thing="" when="" this="" occurred.="" the="" god="" beast="" turned="" its="" piercing="" red="" eyes="" to="" look="" at="" thanos.="" it="" looked="" at="" him="" as="" if="" he="" was="" merely="" an="" insect="" in="" its="" way,="" unworthy="" of="" attention.="" boom="" its="" massive="" arm="" whipped="" upward="" at="" light="" speed="" as="" it="" dropped="" the="" table="" and="" attacked.="" thanos,="" in="" the="" meanwhile,="" tapped="" into="" the="" powers="" of="" the="" infinity="" gauntlet,="" causing="" space="" to="" freeze="" up="" around="" him.="" when="" obelisk's="" massive="" arm="" slammed="" into="" the="" frozen="" space,="" a="" huge="" shockwave="" spread="" out="" as="" greenish-blue="" energy="" exploded="" outward,="" blowing="" apart="" hundreds="" of="" trees="" and="" annihilating="" the="" nearby="" park="" area.="" strangely="" enough,="" the="" judges="" sitting="" at="" the="" long="" table="" appeared="" fine,="" some="" type="" of="" invisible="" protective="" barrier="" protecting="" them.="" 'what="" in="" the="" heavens?="" who="" are="" these="" beings?!="" how="" can="" they="" be="" so="" powerful?!'="" as="" dorian="" witnessed="" all="" this,="" a="" familiar="" angry="" voice="" sounded="" off="" in="" his="" head.="" "oh?="" master="" bubble!"="" dorian="" muttered="" out="" as="" he="" swallowed="" the="" lone="" hotdog="" he'd="" managed="" to="" snag="" in="" a="" single="" gulp,="" looking="" around.="" "are="" you="" watching="" thi-"="" boom="" before="" he="" could="" finish="" speaking,="" an="" explosion="" sent="" dorian's="" balance="" demon="" form="" flying="" backward="" a="" few="" meters,="" the="" unexpected="" blast="" taking="" him="" by="" surprise.="" dirt="" was="" sent="" flying="" in="" the="" air="" as="" a="" crater="" formed,="" the="" already="" damaged="" ground="" damaged="" even="" further.="" thankfully,="" with="" all="" his="" abilities="" active="" and="" his="" balance="" demon="" form="" out,="" he="" was="" completely="" unscathed.="" "oh?="" you="" survived="" that="" well,="" strange="" creature."="" bane's="" mechanical="" voice="" tumbled="" in="" the="" air="" as="" he="" emerged="" from="" the="" cloud="" of="" dust,="" carrying="" what="" appeared="" to="" be="" several="" explosives="" with="" him.="" 'ah,="" the="" explosion="" was="" from="" him.'="" dorian="" turned="" to="" look="" at="" the="" still="" corpse="" of="" the="" real="" inigo="" montoya,="" his="" eyes="" flashing.="" he="" also="" couldn't="" see="" the="" other="" regular="" human,="" john="" denver,="" and="" assumed="" he="" was="" dead="" as="" well,="" killed="" by="" the="" blast.="" 'or="" maybe="" he="" just="" left...'="" denver="" was="" known="" to="" be="" against="" violence="" and="" an="" environmental="" activist.="" dorian="" couldn't="" really="" see="" him="" competing="" in="" a="" hot="" dog="" eating="" contest="" where="" food="" would="" be="" wasted.="" "you="" killed="" him="" before="" i="" could="" even="" talk="" to="" him…"="" his="" voice="" was="" full="" of="" danger="" as="" he="" stared="" at="" bane,="" his="" thoughts="" turned="" to="" inigo.="" he="" knew="" the="" character="" wasn't="" real,="" nor="" was="" the="" now="" dead="" inigo.="" they="" were="" all="" made="" up="" illusions="" from="" the="" inheritance.="" yet,="" the="" scene="" before="" him="" felt="" undeniably="" real,="" the="" magic="" that="" powered="" it="" advanced="" far="" beyond="" his="" expectations.="" whoosh="" dorian's="" body="" blurred.="" in="" a="" split="" second,="" he="" landed="" down="" on="" the="" ground="" next="" to="" bane,="" his="" movements="" incredibly="" quick.="" for,="" in="" that="" moment,="" dorian="" had="" drawn="" upon="" both="" the="" law="" of="" lust="" and="" the="" law="" of="" chastity,="" simultaneously,="" for="" the="" first="" time.="" when="" he="" did="" so,="" he="" felt="" the="" world="" around="" him="" seem="" to="" shift.="" similar="" to="" how="" it="" functioned="" in="" his="" perfect="" body="" state…="" everything="" slowed="" down.="" this="" increase="" was="" hugely="" noticeable.="" the="" world="" around="" him="" slowed="" down="" by="" at="" least="" 50%.="" the="" law="" of="" chastity="" and="" the="" law="" of="" lust="" had="" almost="" identical="" effects.="" by="" using="" them="" both="" at="" once,="" dorian="" was="" able="" to="" increase="" their="" overall="" effectiveness.="" each="" law="" slowed="" the="" world="" down="" around="" him="" by="" roughly="" 25%,="" with="" his="" current="" understanding.="" when="" he="" used="" them="" both="" at="" once,="" these="" two="" laws="" seemed="" to="" work="" together="" and="" slowed="" reality="" to="" roughly="" half="" its="" normal="" speed.="" 'wow.'="" his="" only="" thought="" was="" one="" of="" awe.="" everything="" around="" him="" was="" moving="" at="" half="" speed.="" of="" all="" the="" seven="" great="" laws="" of="" the="" demonic="" race="" that="" he="" had="" acquired,="" this="" law="" was="" the="" one="" that="" most="" impressed="" him.="" his="" understanding="" of="" it="" was="" still="" only="" middling,="" yet="" if="" he="" fully="" mastered="" it,="" he="" instinctively="" felt="" that="" he="" could="" slow="" the="" world="" around="" him="" by="" more="" than="" 25%.="" perhaps="" by="" 30%,="" or="" 40%,="" or="" even="" more,="" he="" was="" unsure="" what="" the="" upper="" limit="" would="" be,="" especially="" when="" combined.="" even="" further,="" the="" fact="" that="" the="" law="" of="" chastity="" of="" the="" seven="" virtuous="" laws="" had="" a="" similar="" effect="" and="" could="" even="" be="" combined="" was="" huge="" news="" to="" dorian.="" the="" increase="" was="" far="" more="" noticeable="" in="" his="" balance="" demon="" form,="" his="" best="" humanoid="" close="" combat="" form.="" as="" he="" landed="" down="" next="" to="" bane,="" he="" lashed="" out="" with="" his="" claws="" in="" an="" almost="" lazily="" fast="" strike.="" his="" hand="" slammed="" into="" the="" huge,="" muscular="" character="" from="" his="" memories…="" and="" instantly="" killed="" him,="" ripping="" his="" heart="" and="" chest="" apart="" in="" one="" single="" motion,="" sending="" red="" blood="" spattering="" everywhere.="" 'oh,="" right,="" he="" was="" just="" an="" above="" average="" human="" in="" the="" movies.'="" the="" bane="" that="" dorian="" was="" familiar="" with="" wasn't="" that="" strong="" of="" a="" character="" when="" compared="" to="" beings="" like="" him.="" boom="" dorian="" felt="" an="" explosion="" shake="" the="" air="" as="" obelisk="" the="" tormentor="" and="" thanos="" began="" to="" battle.="" explosions="" of="" light="" and="" sound="" seared="" out="" as="" reality="" itself="" trembled.="" the="" two="" beings="" were="" colossally="" powerful="" in="" their="" own="" right,="" thanos="" with="" his="" infinity="" gauntlet="" and="" obelisk="" with,="" well,="" himself.="" "great="" beast,="" i="" admire="" your="" strength,="" but="" i="" cannot="" allow="" you="" to="" upset="" the="" delicate="" balance="" of="" this="" contest!"="" thanos'="" deep="" voice="" echoed="" out="" as="" he="" and="" the="" huge="" blue="" demon="" separated="" temporarily.="" obelisk="" was="" standing="" upright="" with="" blue="" energy="" crackling="" around="" his="" arms,="" his="" eyes="" flashing,="" while="" thanos="" had="" his="" hand="" stretched="" out="" upward.="" gworrrnnn="" a="" laser="" beam="" of="" blue="" energy="" shot="" forward="" and="" slammed="" into="" thanos.="" this="" beam="" twisted="" at="" the="" last="" moment="" as="" it="" was="" about="" to="" hit="" him,="" the="" powerful="" attack="" absorbed="" into="" his="" infinity="" gauntlet.="" thanos="" then="" shot="" the="" attack="" back="" at="" the="" towering="" god="" beast,="" knocking="" it="" several="" dozen="" meters="" through="" the="" air.="" when="" the="" creature="" landed,="" it="" formed="" a="" crater="" of="" cracked="" earth="" and="" fallen="" trees,="" sending="" up="" a="" shower="" of="" wood="" and="" stone="" shrapnel.="" "so="" be="" it,="" beast."="" thanos="" called="" out="" loud,="" "hup!"="" thanos="" made="" a="" large,="" jerking="" motion,="" as="" if="" he="" was="" pulling="" something="" hard.="" the="" extremely="" powerful="" infinity="" gauntlet="" on="" his="" hand="" flashed,="" light="" sparking="" off="" of="" it.="" a="" moment="" later,="" dorian's="" eyes="" widened="" in="" awe.="" for,="" in="" the="" sky="" far="" above,="" he="" could="" now="" make="" something="" out.="" a="" huge="" object,="" hurtling="" towards="" them.="" thanos="" had="" pulled="" earth's="" moon="" out="" of="" orbit="" and="" brought="" it="" blasting="" down="" towards="" where="" they="" were.="" "are="" you="" an="" idiot?!="" you="" brought="" down="" the="" entire="" moon="" to="" deal="" with="" a="" single="" being="" here?!="" this="" will="" wipe="" out="" th-="" oh="" right,="" this="" is="" all="" a="" fake="" earth."="" dorian="" caught="" himself="" mid-yell="" as="" he="" watched="" the="" unfolding="" scene="" of="" apocalypse="" before="" him.="" "strike="" me="" down,="" anakin,="" and="" i="" will="" only="" return="" stronger="" than="" before!"="" "huah!"="" over="" to="" the="" side,="" dorian="" witnessed="" a="" somewhat="" familiar="" scene.="" obi-wan="" being="" killed="" by="" darth="" vader,="" the="" duel="" they="" had="" apparently="" ending.="" 'how="" would="" darth="" vader="" even="" eat="" a="" hotdog?="" he="" doesn't="" look="" like="" he="" wants="" to="" take="" that="" mask="" off.'="" the="" character="" wore="" a="" large="" black="" mask="" that="" obscured="" his="" face.="" "roaaaaar!"="" obelisk="" the="" tormentor="" let="" out="" a="" rage-filled="" roar="" as="" it="" saw="" the="" moon="" descending="" upon="" them.="" even="" dorian="" was="" shaken,="" despite="" knowing="" this="" was="" all="" fake,="" as="" he="" watched="" the="" gargantuan="" rock="" plunge="" towards="" them.="" large="" clumps="" of="" the="" moon="" seemed="" to="" fall="" apart,="" shooting="" down="" ahead="" of="" its="" main="" body="" in="" waves="" of="" flaming="" meteors.="" it="" was="" horrifying="" to="" see.="" the="" moon="" blocked="" out="" the="" sun="" and="" the="" sky,="" a="" huge="" piece="" of="" white="" and="" grey="" rock="" that="" stretched="" more="" than="" 2,000="" miles="" wide.="" the="" meteors="" that="" fell="" from="" it="" cascaded="" through="" the="" air,="" a="" true="" ending="" of="" the="" world.="" dorian="" felt="" the="" air="" tremble="" around="" them="" as="" the="" moon="" penetrated="" the="" atmosphere,="" huge="" vibrations="" of="" heat="" and="" pressure="" shaking="" reality.="" "my="" god…="" what="" do="" i="" do?"="" dorian="" stared="" up="" at="" the="" massive="" rock,="" his="" heart="" dropping.="" how="" on="" earth="" was="" he="" supposed="" to="" do="" literally="" anything="" about="" that?!="" "there="" are="" no="" longer="" any="" hot="" dogs="" remaining!="" thus,="" the="" champions="" hot="" dog="" eating="" contest="" is="" complete!="" the="" judges="" are="" now="" tallying="" the="" numbers!"="" as="" he="" was="" facing="" his="" death,="" trying="" to="" think="" up="" a="" plan,="" a="" loud="" voice="" cut="" through="" the="" mess="" of="" the="" world="" around="" him.="" dorian="" spun="" to="" the="" left,="" staring.="" the="" panel="" of="" human="" judges="" were="" all="" currently="" sitting="" down="" casually,="" talking="" amongst="" themselves,="" ignoring="" the="" literal="" millions="" of="" tons="" of="" rock="" that="" were="" hurtling="" towards="" earth,="" about="" to="" cause="" its="" complete="" destruction.="" "the="" results="" are="" now="" tallied!"="" the="" judges="" called="" out="" confidently,="" apparently="" unaffected="" by="" the="" quaking="" waves="" of="" heat="" and="" pressure="" as="" the="" atmosphere="" of="" earth="" began="" to="" dissipate.="" gworrrnnn="" obelisk="" shot="" another="" towering="" laser="" beam="" at="" thanos,="" one="" that="" thanos="" promptly="" reabsorbed="" and="" shot="" back="" as="" the="" two="" began="" to="" duke="" it="" out.="" darth="" vader,="" meanwhile,="" silently="" looked="" at="" where="" the="" corpse="" of="" obi-wan="" had="" been.="" upon="" his="" death,="" the="" body="" had="" vanished,="" disappearing.="" "the="" winner,="" with="" a="" grand="" total="" of="" 1="" hot="" dog="" eaten,="" is="" the="" demon="" challenger="" dorian!"="" dorian="" blinked.="" 'that's="" right…="" almost="" all="" of="" the="" tables="" and="" hot="" dogs="" were="" wiped="" out="" by="" the="" explosions="" from="" bane="" and="" obelisk.="" the="" heat="" and="" pressure="" waves="" from="" the="" descending="" moon="" must="" have="" wiped="" out="" any="" remnants...'="" he="" slowly="" came="" to="" the="" realization="" as="" more="" explosions="" shook="" the="" air="" between="" the="" dueling="" foes.="" 'i="" managed="" to="" snag="" a="" single="" hotdog="" and="" ate="" it="" quickly…="" many="" of="" the="" characters="" that="" showed="" up="" from="" my="" memories="" were="" villains,="" all="" from="" movies="" or="" tv="" shows.="" as="" such,="" they="" all="" attacked="" each="" other="" without="" eating,="" causing="" the="" contest="" to="" be="" thrown="" into="" disarray…'="" as="" he="" realized="" that="" he="" had="" won="" the="" contest,="" dorian="" felt="" a="" feeling="" of="" epiphany="" settle="" upon="" his="" shoulders.="" he="" felt="" energy="" swarm="" his="" soul,="" a="" familiar="" feeling="" descending="" upon="" him.="" green,="" vibrating="" energy="" surrounded="" his="" body,="" wrapping="" around="" his="" soul="" like="" a="" warm="" blanket.="" it="" was="" relaxing="" and="" energizing,="" filling="" him="" with="" satisfaction.="" he="" was="" undergoing="" another="" baptism="" of="" the="" laws="" of="" the="" universe="" directly.="" this="" time,="" for="" the="" law="" of="" gluttony.="" as="" the="" world="" around="" him="" fell="" apart="" and="" dorian="" was="" about="" to="" vanish,="" teleporting="" away="" after="" completing="" the="" inheritance,="" he="" heard="" a="" voice="" call="" out="" in="" his="" head,="" 'what="" is="" going="" on?!="" what="" are="" these="" creatures?!="" how="" are="" they="" doing="" what="" they="" are="" doing?!'="" the="" frantic="" voice="" of="" the="" array="" genie="" continued,="" 'what="" kind="" of="" past="" did="" you="" have?!="" what="" is="" going="" on?!?!'="" whoosh="" dorian="" vanished,="" leaving="" behind="" a="" collapsing="" world="" and="" a="" greatly="" panicked="" bubble.="">
