Plunging his hand deep into the Hermit's chest, the Time Trapper snickers as he squeezes the heart of his former ally. The Sennin groans and grits his teeth.
“You see, when I took my revenge on the Surgeon, I was changed. Two halves of the same coin, we became one; and with the scythe, everything was made clear to me. You see, in the multiverse, only 22 beings exist with the essence of the Major Arcana. However, they're drawn to each other, their paths intertwined. Though we were one, separately we each embodied the Arcana. I was Death, he was the Emperor and didn't even know it. The scythe was the key to unlocking the path to his essence, and the result was an abomination. The Arcana are components of reality, each a column to existence and each wields great power. To make two as one, it changes everything. Everything. I became the Time Trapper, and the power is unbelievable! All at once, I came to realize every mistake I've made and will make. The pathways of what is opened to me like a person would open a book.”
The robed figure clenches his target's heart harder as blood streams from a corner of the old man's mouth as he begins reverting to his emaciated form.
“It was then I realized what needs to be done, and despite my newfound power, it wasn't enough to remake existence but simply offered the tools to manipulate it towards my goals. So, if I could be two Major Arcana, could I be more? The human being is a truly fascinating creation: it can be many things at once. Look at the average person; man, son, father, brother who works, has religion/philosophy, hobbies, so on and so on. Using the Crescent Blade of the Moon, I can unlock the pathways as long as a path exists. The Emperor controls his power through Death, it acts as the key to the first thirteen of the tarot; Death is the Trump with No Name symbolized by trampling the king, or the Emperor, born by the Sun and Moon as the Tower crumbles behind. Death is a symbol of end, but in tarot it means the beginning.”
The blood pours from every orifice of the Sennin, dribbling below through cracks into his sanctum and dripping onto his precious Chrysanthemums, turning their virgin white to scorn crimson.
“Death and the Emperor open the door to everything, and reality itself can be changed. Two become one. But soon after, three became one. Remember how I said the Major Arcana are bound to each other? The Chariot was under my nose the whole time!The prince, beneath the king, and the hero connected to the Tower, or the journey, a Tower I've crossed. Chariot represents impulses, following the Lovers, so what better to bring him together then two as one?”
“Stop prattling in your mad ramblings!”
The scream come as gurgles from the lips of Kukai but are heard nonetheless. Time Trapper comes in close.
“Copymatts left Superboy Prime in such a mess... ripped him in two! Heh. It took all his power to keep surviving, poor bastard. He thought I came to save him, that I was healing him. Instead, I unlocked the Chariot and consumed his heart!”
With that, the beating heart of the Hermit is ripped out. Kukai breathes heavy as his eyes roll in the back of his head, the veins and arteries still connected from his heart to his body.
“I'm the hero, obviously. So, I took his power for my own, the Moon to his back, but the Sun unseen before him. The Hermit is connected to the Moon, lighting the otherwise dark path ahead and the crossed circle of infinity is formed, a path set before me through the scythe I carry in me. The Hermit is the obstacle for the hero, one that must be overcome. It's all connected!”
The heart is torn completely out as the old man convulses, Time Trapper lifting the heart above his head and lower it into the darkness of his cowl. The Chrysanthemums turn black and whither as the robed figure waves his hand and the vast library ignites in fire.
“The Major Arcana won't need this anymore, especially since I could recite the tomes word for word.”
Time Trapper laughs as he walks and fades as his minions follow likewise close behind. Two figures remain, seemingly unseen before.
“We had better warn Mr. Moon. The aberration is on the move.” muttered the priestess
“Do we have to with the hooded psycho killing arcana left and right we could finally be free sis,” muttered the fool
“that’s insubordination bro and you know it come on lets go….”
