Midnight the Mercenary: Divine Wars

"This whole time.. we were fighting a battle. This is the war." Realizing the fact that their ultimate enemy is one of the strongest gods in the multiverse.

"This sword is only as powerful as the person who wields it." Speaking about his Divinity Sword.

"With my old life now behind me, I've changed. Just give me the chance to hear me out." Some of his final words with the Freedom Fighters.

"If you had a mouth, I WOULD SHOVE DUCT TAPE IN IT!" A normal chat with the Divine Sword.

After the events of the Dead to Rights Arc and the epilogue, Midnight was still furious that Killriser was still out there. He, initially with just Summer as a partner, set out to get rid of him once and for all, only to find out that Killriser is nothing compared to his boss, who literally threatens the multiverse with his power. In order to face him, Midnight and some of the Mobius Elite (now known as the Mortal Elite) assembles again and gains the strength of the Divines to wage war that could tell the fate of the multiverse.

Appearance
Back to his former young self prior to the chaos change, Midnight has his vibrant orange fur. His eyes are now dark blue. His right ear is now fully healed prior to before. His hair is now a lot less messier than before. Since he doesn't need an armored suit anymore, he usually wears a black shirt and blue jeans, with a grey jacket.

History
Around the start of Divine Wars, Midnight can't live with himself. He had just lost a close person to him, which he had always tried to avoid doing, and he found out the small things he did remember of his childhood were all lies. He stayed in a very small and quiet town to rethink his life over. Of course, Mech easily found him. After a big talk, Midnight decided to do the one thing Dawn wanted to do: End Killriser.

The Elite Rises Again
Midnight was brought back to the old Mobius Elite hideout. There, Mech and Tails have created a machine that allows one to travel to different dimensions, and Summer had provided it with fusion power. Midnight looked at this for a moment, then asked how would they find Killriser. Tails said that would be where Midnight comes in. He will temporarily be placed in the void, and he will search for powerful sources of energy among them.

Midnight rose to the occasion, and when in the void, managed to sense chaos energy. However, multiple sources of intense energy far greater than Killriser's had came from numerous directions. After a moment, they finally let Midnight return, and that's when Midnight told them about what he had sensed.

Personality
Midnight is back to his remorseless self in the beginning stories. He plans on killing anything in his way, and has even threatened friends who decided otherwise.

Divinity Sword
The sword of the Divine, created by Hephaestus, the Greek lame god himself, once Midnight agreed to a task to do. This sword is not just a weapon, accepting this sword makes it a part of you. The sword is capable of hurting the Divines, and is unbreakable by physical force alone, and heavily resistant against magic of the Divines. The sword has been able to tear holes in space and open rift access to other dimensions. It is capable of vibrating a godlike amount of times in a second, preventing people from attempting to phase through the blade. Once it is one with a user, it can be summoned at will, or sent to hammerspace, a pocket dimension where it will wait until it is summoned again. Due to its hammerspace physics, even if one breaks the sword, it can be re-summoned. The sword can levitate in midair, fly back to its owner, and can summon projectiles from it that are so powerful they cause ripples in space just by existing. When the user is wielding it, they also have the ability to fly and teleport. The sword is capable of burning foes, freezing foes, hitting foes with EMP, launching shockwaves of power, radiation, and dark energy.

With Midnight's chaos ability, he can make the sword a Chaos Divinity Sword, greatly buffing its already amazing attributes.

However, this is the true reason why the sword is not just a weapon. The user of this sword gains a invisible but vast godly aura, vast enough to be seen in all of the universe if it was visible, and when channeling power, it can be felt across the universe and beyond. The aura gives the user a godly buff in abilities, as well as adding a few of their own.

There is one flaw of the sword. The sword can talk. Ironically, since it was made by a god, the talking sword is a real dick. The sword not only has an annoying voice, it is obnoxious, able to see through the fourth wall, and very talkative. The sword can read the user's mind, and it usually blurts out whatever the user is saying, or interrupts one's thoughts. It doesn't like going into hammerspace though it will obey, and when in hammerspace, it will be in the user's head. Not to say that the feature is useless, as the sword can somehow "see" as well, allowing it to speak thoughts into Midnight's mind to warn him on attacks or give info about a divine being. When serious, it grows into a deep demonic voice.

Quotes from Divine Sword that has ticked off Midnight:

"My real name is Jacob Elijah Fredrick Franklin, but you can call me J.E.F.F."

"That's what she said, haHA! Get it? Cuz Dawn said he was so big."

"DAYUM! That guy's gonna be in a coma longer than Komerl ever was!"

"Dununununnununununununun MIDNIGHT!"

"Hey, Dawn, Midnight likes you. He wants to get it on, if you know what I mean..."

"Can't tame me, fool, CAN'T BE TAMED!"

"Bitch, I'm FABULOUS!"

"Can't touch dis, dunununun..."

"KISS ALREADY! THE READERS WANT YOU TO KISS ANYWAYS!"

"If your name is Midnight and hers is Dawn, what will your child be? Afternoon?"

Abilities
Because of his connection with the Divine Sword, Midnight calls himself a god. He is right.

Longevity
Midnight cannot die by age.

Strength
Midnight's casual punches can cause ripples that can literally be felt in millions of zones if he did not focus his power. Midnight has once accidentally destroyed a zone of Death's macroverse attempting to hit Divine Speedster with a punch, and has been able to push back against the Divine Giant, who was literally the size of a zone.

Speed
This has been one of the highest stat upgrade to Midnight after the Gods Among Us Arc. When holding on to the sword to use as transportation, Midnight can travel across a zone in less than a second. On his own speed, it is about two minutes.

Combat Speed
Midnight has been able to swing his sword so fast, Super Shadow admitted that he didn't see the swing.

Durability
The godly aura allows Midnight to battle the Divines. He has to be capable of tanking hits from the likes of Death, Zeus, and even Havoc. The aura also protects his clothing, since now he doesn't wear his old measly armor. Ebony has hit Midnight with an attack that had destroyed a dimension whose size was stated to be limitless. The Godly aura has protected him from the special abilities that the Divines can do. Divine Death's instant soul removing ability has proven flawed, and even Timelord has failed to erase Midnight from existence, and when he erases people, he erases the current person, the past version of them, and the future version of them. An alternate reality Mech attempted to change the atoms of Midnight, but his aura failed to do so.

Reflexes
Midnight's initial chaos senses is now his normal sense, allowing him to sense a dangerous blow about to connect. His reflexes made him dodge initial strike of the Traveler, the Divine Speedster.

Senses of Wisdom
His eyes have now gained the ability to see all of the electromagnetic spectrum and the souls of beings at will. He can sense foes with strong powers and potential, and can tell whether or not an enemy is going to strike him or fake the attempt.

Regeneration
His regeneration has picked up in speed a lot, and Midnight no longer takes pain from healing.

False Telekinesis
Due to his strength being able to move air, water, and even space itself with punches, Midnight can use these things to "push" opponents in different paths.

Weapons Proficiency
Midnight has no need of a variety of weapons anymore, but he still proves to be fluent with an arsenal, as well as disarming foes to use their weapons against them.

Godly Intermediate Level Martial Artist
Taking training from the God of Combat himself, Midnight is able to fight whilst flying, and the combat is vastly superior to all the combat he has learned on Mobius, and he was titled as one the best martial artist in the galaxy.

Chaos Transcendence
Because of his mother being the chaos demigod, and him learning how to channel this strength at the last second in his Dead to Rights story, Midnight has shown able to channel his chaos power. The standard amount throughout his body is enough to even rival Hyper Form enemies. He can use it to greatly increase the power of his equipment, like how he uncontrollably done it prior to Divine Wars. He can also control his power to increase his own, and may reach transcending forms because of it. Because of Chaos power being the reason for this, gathering chaos emeralds or the master emerald greatly increase his chaos powers.

First Transcendence
His first level of Transcendence. One could consider this as Midnight going in his Super Form. This can be reached on his own, or with a chaos emerald for much less stamina wasted.

Chaos Override
Midnight, being able to open up to his true power, has been able to prove immune to chaos control attacks, and can create a barrier that can absorb chaos abilities, such as chaos spears, blasts, etc. He can also control chaos attacks from other foes, in order to use it against them.

Master Tactician
Midnight remains an excellent strategist as ever.

Flaws
Midnight finally learned to truly care for things. Because of this, one may use the people he loves in order to lure him into some kind of trap.

Midnight is easily annoyed by the chatting of the Divine Sword. When the situation isn't intense enough, he will usually make up a crappy pun or rush Midnight to do something in a fight, causing Midnight to lose focus and concentration of chaos power as he tries to get the sword to shut up.

Divine Level Magical attacks can affect the Divine Sword.

Midnight may have some ranged attacks, but his attack style has now been forced to close combat due to his only weapon now being a sword.

Midnight was so used to his weapons automatically becoming chaos weapons that he tends to forget every now and then to lend that energy.

Divine Sword
Midnight thinks of the sword as a prick whenever they're not in battle. Their personalities do not get along, as the sword is obnoxious and talkative. However, in intensive battle, the Divine Sword is an excellent strategist, and having a partner where both people can read each other's minds allows a great team.

Dawn
They are in a love relationship now that she has returned from Death.

Trivia
The awesomeness of the Divinity Sword was inspired by Deathstroke's God Killer sword.

Part of the reason why the series became a whole new level of power was because of inspiration from Dragonball Super

Roleplay Edition
If this version of Midnight is ever to be in a roleplay, it is highly likely that:

A: Midnight is nerfed down to a universe level foe, or the more obvious choice,

B: The roleplay is amongst gods and other overpowered characters.
