1st September 2005, Valley of Kings

(Jasmine POV)

My thoughts were interrupted by a gravelly voice, "How? You're supposed to be dead!" Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Oh, yeah, that guy. I completely forgot about him. I stare at him and just shrug, "There's a reason they called me a Goddess, En Sabah Nur."

My words seem to enrage him further, "Do you have any idea how long I was imprisoned because of you?"

I just keep smirking at him, "Of course, I'm the one who planned it out after all."

Apocalypse's face contorted into a scowl, "I'm going to kill you for what you've done. I'm going to cut off your every limb one by one, until there's nothing left of you but a broken shell of a woman who dared defy me."

I just tilt my head and answer him with a distracted tone, "I'm sorry, did you say something?"

The face he made was hilarious. Trolling mad men is so much fun and I need to release some stress after the situation with Jean. I'm not going to say no to a punching bag.

The so-called father of mutants decided to start out impromptu duel. How typical, patience was never one of his virtues, was it? Apocalypse started by controlling the sand behind him, creating a veritable sandstorm and banish it towards me.

How unoriginal. The guy really needs to learn some new moves. I create a powerful wall of wind in front of me, nullifying his attack completely. I smirk at him in challenge, "Are we going to stand there all day, or are we going to fight," I said mockingly.

En Sabah Nur snarled in response and answered by controlling the sand around us. I estimate that he's currently controlling every grain of sand in a three mile radius. If the guy wasn't a nutjob, I would have been impressed by his control. He then banished the tons of sand towards me.

"You do not have the right to judge me, Wadjet. You're nothing but a failure, even your precious mages are gone now, turned into nothing but children's tales and myths."

I just smirk at him; he had no idea what happened with the mages, did he? "Perhaps, but that doesn't change what you are planning. You may pretend that you care for your people but you don't. I don't know if you're lying to everyone or just lying to yourself but what you desire, what you have always desired, is power. Nothing more."

En Sabah Nur growled at me and broke our little stalemate by kicking my light construct in the chest. It was a relatively good hit but instead of being banished far, I only slid away a few steps. Feeling confident from getting a proper hit for the first time, although it was just on a light construct which didn't affect me anyway, Apocalypse punched the mountain, creating some giant boulders that he picked up and threw at me.

Choosing to not test my light construct's resilience on what was basically a small mountain being thrown at me, I envelop the ends of my hard light staff in my darkness element. When the boulder neared me, I hit it with the staff, which cut it clean into two halves going past me; the darkness was easily able to destroy whatever it touches.

I will admit that this was a bit inspired by the lightsabers from Star Wars. Although, it doesn't really cut or burn but disintegrates anything it touches.

Furious at me for avoiding his last attack, Apocalypse leaps at me, sword in hand. For the first time, I do not meet him, but start rotating. It was moving so fast that it was basically a circular blur of black and white. When Apocalypse reached me, he swung his sword at me, but it was cut in half by my rotating staff. However, that was not it, he had overextended the swing, underestimating my defense, which caused his hand to be also be caught by the staff, cutting it off.

Screaming in pain, he didn't see my punch hitting him straight in the face, and was sent back disoriented. I then followed by conjuring a giant bolt of lightning that hit him straight in the chest. He must not be able to for force fields big enough to cover this form. I then followed by throwing my hard light staff at him. The staff hit him in the chest and fully went through him, pinning him to the ground.

Apocalypse fell, defeated. He slowly started to shrink back to his original form. He was panting on the ground, slowly healing. I dispelled by hard light constructs, and floated towards him. He looked up, glaring at me, "This is not the end. I will win."

I expected some sort of attack but what I didn't expect was for it to be mental. I couldn't help but chuckle, he was using a mental attack on me of all people. I analyze the mind probe and discover that its purpose was taking control of the victim. Apparently, he was able to take over Magneto and Angel that way. He was also on his way to overpower Xaveir which is pretty impressive to be honest. I might not like the man, but he is a somewhat decent in telepathy and has a good control over his powers, for a mortal at least. Sure, the former king of Egypt was pretty much using pure power instead of a single ounce of control, but it was still somewhat impressive.

"You are mine, Wadjet. You will be my servant until the end of time, this is my revenge for my imprisonment. I lost three thousand years because of you. I shall do the same to you."

Unimpressed with this declaration, I just shred his mind probe. I could have done worse but I was done playing. It's time to kill the worm.

En Sabah Nur cried out in pain at his mental attack being destroyed like that. It was a very stupid idea to mentally attack someone a lost more skilled at the mind arts than you are.

When he recovered, he chuckled at me, "Here we are again. We're still at the same stalemate. I am invincible, and you are immortal. Perhaps it's time for me to prepare for our next altercation."

He probably wanted to teleport out, but to his look of confusion nothing happened. I smirk inwardly; I learnt from the last time we fought. "I have locked this entire area from any type of space manipulation except for mine. There's not getting out of it, En Sabah Nur. This is your end."

I'm not going to drain him like I did last time. It would take too long and it could be enough for him to escape somehow. Instead, I form a crow made of darkness. It flew for my hand and dove towards the former king of Egypt. It was absorbed into his body. Then slowly, Apocalypse started to disintegrate from the inside, turning into dust. This was an attack of pure destruction, able to overpower a healing factor of someone like Apocalypse and kill him without issue.

And so, finally, En Sabah Nur also known as Apocalypse perished. I decide to teleport away; my work here was done.
