Black Hole Scythe

A terribly destructive tool utilised by Kortarex.

History
Little is known for sure about the mysterious origins of this destructive weapon-some claim it was a mysterious, leftover artefact from times when the Great Beings walked the planet with their creations, whilst the Makuta and Teridax himself claim to have forged the weapon themselves. The truth, known only to Artahka and Teridax, is that the former designed the weapon as a 'last resort' should Artahka ever need it-a doomsday weapon which, if misused, could very well lead to the total annihilation of Spherus Magna (Spherus Imperus) and the entire star system it resided in. Artahka had intended to destroy it, but Teridax stole the weapon before he could, and stashed it away for use in future.

When Teridax birthed his 'son', Kortarex, and when Kortarex returned from the Domain of Strife, Teridax rewarded him by bestowing upon him the weapon. With it, Kortarex slew many Toa who were foolish enough to stand against its might, and he used its forbidden powers once when a monstrously-sized Tahtorak threatened to kill him and his Rahkshi guards. The ensuing carnage caused the Inahis Ridge, and environmental devastation rendered permanent electrical storms to take place there.

When last seen, Kortarex had it on his person, already planning to use it as a show of force for the Queen of Misrule, in an attempt to force her into an Alliance with the Apex Dozen and Teridax.

Powers and Abilities
The Black Hole Scythe was capable of creating miniaturised singularities-that is, as the scythe is named for, small black holes which would tear asunder anything within a large radius. Additionally, it was sharp and strong enough to cut through any known metal, including, with enough force, the fearsome Magnum Steel. The weapon was also said to whisper faintly, as if alive, although this is based mostly on Matoran superstition, which is sketchy evidence at best.
