(Sorry if I'm stepping on anyone's toes by trying to wrap up a story I wasn't part of for ages; I just see that it's been three years since any of you have added anything, and I wanted to pay respect to you all, by not leaving it unfinished)
The long-absent Absolute scans their surroundings, witnessing the raging battle going on below.
Witnessing the use of Absolute Lightning, he straightens up, recognising this to be a much more dangerous conflict than previously believed.
"Looks like I had better step in, before this gets too ugly." He thought.
The Emperor prepares to strike again with his lightning at a weak point in the party's defenses, the bolts charging toward them all at alarming speed.
As hope seems to be lost, a figure unfamiliar to the party appears in a blinding flash, deflecting each bolt away from them with relative ease.
"A new challenger enters the fray, i see.. and pray tell, how did you manage to endure, much less deflect Absolute level power?" The Emperor asked, genuinely curious, yet remaining cautious.
"If I told you, you surely would not believe me." The aged adventurer grins, flicking their cavalier up out of his face, to show the visage of Beranabus, the Absolute of Enduring, known in ages forgotten as one of the most powerful beings to walk the realms. He may not have his old comrades by his side, but he knew that they still remained alive in his heart.
"Now, id love to know; what are you doing playing around with forces that don't belong to you?"
"What do you know of Absolute power?" The Emperor laughs, rushing toward this new combatant with extreme speed, preparing to fire off another lightning"
Suddenly, his path is halted, as Beranabus is already in front of him, holding the emperor's lightning hand in a vice grip.
"Plenty." He replies, as he takes that same hand and flings The Emperor over his shoulder, before slamming him to the ground, following up with a deadly, concussing strike that weakens his Absolute power
