Ultra-Arcturion of Death

The **Ultra-Arcturion of Death** is a mystical black version of the Arcturion space rock that grants its bearer the power of necromancy. Once the BSSSD defeated Mallus, the Ultra-Arcturion of Death was given to Skybow from the new timeline to protect.

## History

After the people of Bowland faced numerous attacks from their neighbors and nature, they prayed for protection. Their prayers were answered as the six great families of the planet were each presented a mystical Arcturion harnessing the power of one of the elemental forces. One family was presented the Ultra-Arcturion of Death: the Arcturion with the power to raise the spirits of the dead. Out of all of the Arcturions, it is the most volatile of them all. Presumably, the sixth family was driven insane by the Arcturion's power of summoning spirits and sided with Mallus, but they were defeated, and Mallus was imprisoned by the other five families. For eons, the family and the Arcturion were stricken from history and lost after the demon's defeat. The Arcturion itself has a very strong link to Mallus.

The Arcturion eventually found its way into the ownership of Robert Johnson, who had it pressed into his guitar. Because legend says that he sold his soul to be such a great musician, it was said that his guitar was cursed. The guitar – still equipped with the Arcturion – was later placed into a pawn shop where it was bought by Elvis Presley; in fact, when Elvis still insisted on purchasing the guitar after the shopkeeper told him of its history, the shopkeeper was so glad to be rid of it, he gave Elvis the guitar for free. The Arcturion allowed Elvis to subtly communicate with the ghost of his late twin brother Jesse, which boosted his musical talent. However, the totem created an aberration by summoning the spirits of the dead, in which the citizens of Memphis fled their city and Elvis was committed, thus preventing the rise of rock and roll. This attracted the attention of the BSSSD, who attended church mass, during which they reacted to this specific Arcturion variant.

Alex Beck managed to steal the guitar but Heather Montoya and Douglas Davenport were unable to remove the Arcturion. Jesse's ghost soon began to possess the guitar in a desperate attempt to get back to Elvis. Cyd managed to calm the ghost by calling Jesse by name and stating that the BSSSD knew his brother, at which the guitar flew into her hand, after which they returned the guitar to Elvis. When the U.A.o.D. summoned ghosts from the nearby cemetery, Elvis was able to put them to rest playing his guitar, singing *Amazing Grace*. Afterwards, Elvis, deciding to move on from his brother, removed the Arcturion from his guitar and gave it to Sander Storm.

Mallus later manipulated Heather into wielding the Arcturion and caused her to go on a rampage, attacking her teammates, ultimately leading to a confrontation between her and Zack Martin, who had another Arcturion.

Later, after realizing Mallus's freedom would be the death of his daughter, Nora, Victor Krane peacefully approached the BSSSD, asking them to help him save her. In an attempt to get them to trust him, he gave them the only Arcturion the team didn't already have in their possession. The group, including Krane, devised a plan to save Bowland from destruction, thereby causing enough damage to the timestream to release Mallus from his temporal prison. They intended, once Mallus was free, to use the totems to kill the demon, ironically, with Heather willingly trusting Krane to wield the U.A.o.D. alongside them. However, Krane, hoping to stabilize the timestream, secretly released Grodd (whom the BSSSD had captured) into Bowland to ensure that the planet would be destroyed. When the BSSSD refused to allow this, he turned on them, with the Death Totem strengthening his powers, although they managed to overpower him and take the Arcturion back.

Heather Montoya used the Arcturion when the BSSSD tried twice (failing the first time) to combine the powers to form something that could defeat Mallus. After the demon was killed, it was left on Bowland.
