New Paul: Odyssey Chapter 8 Submission

Paul scooped up Maya in his arms, and kissed her on the face. They were both so sticky.
His eyes were filled with rainbows and light, but besides that, the levitating, and the goo, there were no other signs of the monstrous torment that had raged his very being just moments ago.

"Where are you taking me?" Maya asked, still surprised that the spell had worked.
"You'll see." Paul smiled, not reassuringly.
He tilted his head back, and he and Maya floated rapidly through the new hole in the roof, and into the foggy, smoggy night.

The filthy and majestic city of London stretched beneath them. The moon hung massively on the horizon, bathing the glittering city in silver light. They covered ground rapidly, Paul with feet flung haphazardly behind him, Maya cradled in his arms.

That's when Maya saw her, Tal'shen: a mass of glittering scales and writhing tentacles, with wings as dark as night and studded with stars. She, it, was immense. An oppressive entity of epic proportions; the spawn of Lysanna, born of Paul.
Tal'shen the Monster of the Cosmos was contorting a thousand feet above the Tower of London. Maya Shuddered. She had no idea what Paul was planning, but she doubted anything could defeat this malevolent being.

Paul stopped suddenly over the London Eye, and closed his eyes. "Maya, I'm going to need your help with something."

"Of course." She answered, without hesitation.

Paul smiled even more disconcertedly. "Excellent." He then screamed, no roared, a noise which no human could produce - a war cry which stopped the shoppers and tourists below in their tracks. "Tal'shen! I cannot let you consume this planet, nor its people."

Tal'shen writhed and turned on its cosmic wings. Maya could see the wide black eyes, and the sharp squid-like beak. She expected a reply, but none came. The spawn of Lysanna took after her mother: she could not fathom the concept of defeat.

Paul was still grinning. "You vomit slime bitch! I should have cut you out of my leg the moment you leeched onto me!" He opened his eyes, a psychedelic laser-lights show of color. "Now I'm going to excise you from this plane, and leave you to fend for yourself in the Between Spaces!"

The beast paid him no mind. It began stirring up a great whirlwind with its wings and tentacles. Car alarms and sirens sounded from the city below; and pedestrians were knocked to their feet and blown down the street. Maya knew what would come next. Tal'shen intended to open a black hole in the earth beneath her, and consume the planet's collective life-force.

Paul began chanting in an ancient alien tongue. Maya recognized it as her own. She knew what the words meant. "Tal'shen you insignificant mite! Lowest life-form in the universe! I, by the power of the dark Counsel of Hatharadas and the infinite corporeal authority of the Great Olmon-Yen, cast you into the place between universes, that outer darkness from which there is no escape!" Maya had never heard this spell before, but Paul delivered it flawlessly between his clenched, madly grinning teeth. "This willing sacrifice I deliver onto the Most High Chancellor of the Swirling Void, Vaskem-Adrahamenned himself, as payment for the toll of Hell's passage."

With this, Paul looked deeply into Maya's eyes, and let go.
She screamed as she plummeted to the earth a thousand feet below.
A splash of red ended her existence.
Still Paul was chanting. "Aitchrk louvvimn'vco kuut! Pliyv'vukt liyv cern!"

Something began to happen to Tal'shen. At first, it looked like a flicker of brilliant white light, a flash of lightning. Then, a rift opened in the place at her center of mass, a yawning black chasm, flashing with tendrils of lightning. A massive black hand with ten fingers and long curved claws reached through the gap. It grabbed Tal'shen and clenched, pulling the beast into the hole. A massive clap of thunder shook all of London as the portal closed.

Paul stopped smiling, and said: "Thank-me those bitches are gone... this planet is mine."
