Galacor: He levitated in space, staring down at the vast open land before him. He clapped his hands, and a purple pulse shot out, zooming them further out to see everything. Before them was an infinite expanse of star-shaped universes.
"If it makes you feel worse, every single timeline we just got rid of had a lot more than just one universe in it." He threw Star down, snapping his fingers to create an invisible floor just so he would feel an impact, "You're a fucking disgrace."
Star: Blood dripped down from his head. He tried to push himself up with his one arm, but all of that life lost was draining him. "You can't..."
Galacor: He landed next to Star, hitting his head against the invisible floor, before grabbing his dreads to force him to look up. "Actually, I can. I can do anything I want when it comes to taking everything away from you. Everybody apart of creation is just collateral damage, it's not their fault you represent them..."
Star: His hand trembled, but it wasn't the feeling of pain. No, this was coming from something else. The floor beneath them began to tremble as Star's hand glowed a bright gold. "You took so much life away, just to hurt me more...all of those lights, snuffed out in no time at all." A pulse left his body, pushing Galacor back a bit. The Emperor immediately appeared at his side.
"Infinite souls...eradicated in an instant, not even having the chance to experience spiritual paradise. Families, children, wives, and husbands all dead!" An unknown silver and white aura formed around his body, burning bright like fire.
Galacor: He scoffed, "Anger doesn't give you a better chance at survival." He waved his hand, and the Emperor appeared in front of Star.
Phantom Emperor: He flattened his hand, attempting to pierce his hand through Star's head.
Star: He moved to the side, grabbing the arm of the Emperor, leading his head straight into his mask. The force and speed of the attack blasted out a silver shockwave of energy; the Emperor was forced back to Galacor. "Not anger, this feeling comes from all those spirits you killed, the innocent lives you took! No...This is the power of Justice!"
"RRRRAAAAA-AAAAGHHHHH-HHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" A shockwave burst out as Star roared, cracking the floor beneath his feet, bursting gusts of wind out. The aura grew outward in every direction, and the overwhelming energy healed Star's form to its peak.
Galacor: "Merge!" The Emperor combined itself into Galacor's body, equaling their power together. The golden rings appeared over his shoulders, turning his forearms into the Emperor's. "If you GENIUNELY fucking think that a small boost in power is going to save everything, you are damn delusional!" He dashed in front of Star, launching his fist into Star's chest.
Star: The impact created a thundering crack, a shockwave shattering the floor in a straight line, reality shattering like glass around them, revealing a white blankness behind it. He took a step back, the ground cracking further with each step. He spat out blood, but his eyes continued to pierce into Galacor's spirit. Panting, he shook off the attack, charging toward Galacor.
Galacor: He smirked, "Impac-" Before he could realize what was happening before him, Star ripped off the piece of armor on his chest that had the purple spot, shoving the spot into Galacor's face. "You fucking bastard..." An explosion burst out from Star's palm, hitting both him and Galacor in the face.
Star: Stomping his foot into the ground, shaking the entire timeline, he forced himself forward, grabbed Galacor by his neck, and punched him across his face. A force blasted outward upon the impact, shattering Galacor's mask, launching him to the side.
Galacor: With each thud of his body hitting the floor, shockwaves rippled through the air, echoing the force of his falls in a display of raw energy. He shot his bladed arm into the floor, catching himself. He panted, "What is this speed, this strength?! This new power, fueled by justice, has boosted him up to a whole other level!" He held his hand over his mouth, reforming his mask over his mouth, and standing up straight. "I cannot allow myself to get distracted."
Star: "Even with all of that new power, you are fueled by anger and this thirst for false revenge. You are blinded by it! You took so much life away, unfairly, and instantly, without care. But that is the difference between you and me!" He appeared in front of Galacor.
Galacor: "Shut your damn mouth! You don't understand anything!" He sent a barrage of punches toward Star, each one shattering the space around them with the impact. "IMPACT!" An explosion blinded everything in sight; the amount of energy released would destroy everything.
Star: He vibrated his body, absorbing the burst into his own body. He panted heavily, blood dripping from his body, "Justice isn't just about avenging the fallen! It's standing between the darkness and anyone who might follow! It's bringing hope, bringing light… and making sure no one suffers like they did!"
He grabbed Galacor by his collar, lifting him to his face, "No matter how many times you swing at me, or make me bleed, or attempt to take the lives of the innocent, I will never be like you! I'll never step down! Through my anger, justice bleeds brighter, and my hope guides me!"
Galacor: "How can you say such things? How can you even lift yourself after all I've taken away?!"
Star: "Because that is what a hero does, no matter how much is lost, they stand tall to make sure nothing else is!" He dropped Galacor to the ground, noticing Galacor's strength depleting, "You forced so much power into yourself without truly understanding it; you are done."
He turned away, clapping his hands, bursting the justice energy outward in all directions, healing the damage done. He tossed Galacor up into the hole in the ceiling from before, before it healed itself. "I have a family to save."
