The Villain Returns

ooking at a fallen god.

So Reta put on his demon mask, its lights had all stopped functioning but it still seemed to glow in the nighttime.

Probably some night-glow paint.

Justice 7 was near tears.

”Ill be here for your last moments. Do not fret. ”

Reta spoke stoically.

He loomed over Justice 7s figure.

”Im sure you wouldve been here for me too. ”

Justice 7 barely wheezed a few coarse words through his suffering.

”D-d-d-d… do y-you. D-do you e-ever re-g-g-gret b-bullyin-g me? A-a-all th-those y-years a-ah-go. ”

One could hear tears on his breath.

Reta looked to the shining moon that ruled the night sky as he spoke like a lost man.

”If I didn do what I did in the past. ”

”Then I wouldn be the man I was today. ”

”But if I don regret the past. ”

”Then I can be a man at all. ”

Justice 7 looked in frail confusion.

Reta coughed.

”So… yes. ”

”I do regret doing those inhumane deeds to you. ”

”And I hope, you can find it in your heart. To save me a spot wherever you
e going. ”

Reta sighed, taking in the cold fragrance of the Russian night.

It was the end of an Era.

He had ended the legacy of Justice.

There would be no Justice 8.

Just the corpse of the seventh.

Justice 7s pained pants became excruciatingly blatant and transparent.

It was time.

”Haugh. Haugh. Haugh. Haugh. ”

”Haa. Haa. Haa. Haa. Haa. ”

To end this sick joke.

”Ha. Ha. HA. HAA. HAA.HAHAHAHHAHHAH. ”

”S-AVE ME A S-POT? ”

”HAAAAH. ”

Justice 7s voice became shrieks.

His laughter began boiling.

”Huuuhuuhuuhuu. ”

”Did you really think-? ”

Retas figure was stuck in place. His mask fell by itself revealing a deformed facial expression.

Faded scars infested a once charming face.

Red hair went crazy in all directions.

Matching two blood red eyes. Two dead eyes.

”Such an unrefined technique could strike me. ME. JUSTICE 7. DOWN? ”

Justice 7 stood up despite the roaring spear penetrating his front.

And he did a little spin kick.

Although it looked foolish, the technique was masterful and Justice 7 looked like an incomplete blur as he traveled in one flawless direction.

”Hwoop. ”

He was like a child.

Bang.

But despite his childish maneuvers, Reta was blasted left and hit directly in the stomach.

A strong strand of air wavered.

Retas figure skidded through the snow as he looked at Justice 7 with agonized eyes.

Although his heart lay behind him, at the other end of the spear, Justice 7 was breathing.

Justice 7 was capable of his mastered martial arts despite his heart being out of his body.

Justice 7 then cheerily plucked Ares out of his chest and threw it upwards.

And like a light-house, he blasted it with 2 roaring cannons of hyper-red.

BEUM.

And just like that.

The night sky was briefly invaded by hyper-red and Ares was gone.

A crisp seething sound was all that remained.

With it, all hope from Reta.

As Retas figure was lit with red momentarily, his eyes became dull.

He was essentially out of energy now.

And Pueris wasn here either.

Reta attempted a brief charge, but his figure stumbled.

Clenching his stomach from the ground, Reta lifted his head upwards.

And all he saw was a red rubber sock swinging upwards.

”Pwaarh. ”

An incomprehensible sound left Retas mouth as he was blasted backward through the snow.

He was moments from swallowing his tongue. Stomach fluids swashed around as Retas sense of direction went amiss.

Retas nostrils were filled to the brim with dust-like snow as he found his momentum die out.

And what did Justice 7 do?

Well.

He took a seat.

Retas figure squirmed and suffocated as his ribs were crushed by a destructive force.

Justice 7 merely admired the silver-crepuscule moon of Russia.

A snarky comment willingly snapped from his mouth as Justice 7 let out a huge and disturbing grin.

”Ah, you **ing dumbass. ”

Retas eyes widened from the sudden language change.

Justice 7 applied more force to Reta, hearing the sound of cracks, Justice 7 was pleased immeasurably.

”If I was really going to die, I wouldve used my force-control. ”

”You can keep that tip for free. You should probably also realize when someone is acting. Because you fell for that act like a clown. Well you are a bit of a clown but-. Ah well whatever. Im too happy to think right now. ”

Reta couldn even reply as his lungs were crushed by an iron buttock.

Reta was being killed off pathetically.

Through sitting.

Justice 7 kept on bantering.

”You know. If Pueris was here then you mightve been able to make me get somewhat serious. But no. Reta knows what to do. Its always Reta who wins in the end. ”

”Well. Look where being Reta got you. ”

Justice 7 admired Retas cowardly position.

”Well. Good job being a dumbass. Ill see you later. ”

And so Retas figure deflated like a whimsy balloon.

Justice 7 hissed his goodbye.

”Re-ta. ”

And with that.

The #1 Villain In Action at the current moment fell.

Fell to buttocks.

Comical? Yes.

But to the millions that prayed to the fall of Beta and the Justice legacy.

It was pathetic.

Reta-.

Reta was a failure.
