2024-10-29 19:42:56"why are you defying your queen?" she yelled in desperate anger.
"it is your duty to protect me, why are you refusing to do that?"
"I'm not abandoning my duty" Yamato replied.
"I'm just choosing to not senselessly attack a man that can end me when he just wants to talk"
"so mother, if we don't to listen to him right now, we will be doing so in a charred state."
"my refusal is for your own safety"
meanwhile Mina was wondering "he's her son right?" and Inumaki answered her "they're all her sons, all four of them"
"isn't she supposed to protect them?,not the other way round?" Mina asked, and it became clear to her that no one there understood how family works because Inumaki didn't have an answer to her question.
"what of the father?" she asked, and Inumaki answered "he is no longer with us" and Mina sighed and said out loud in frustration "these guys are bred like ants" and everyone heard it.
the one who took offence to the comment was none other than the queen who immediately approached Mina in an instant, but as soon as she got close, Mina hit her pressure points and rendered her immobile.
from the time that their eyes first met, Mina could tell that the queen was not acting according to her own will. every thing she said, she meant the opposite.
She cared for the poor people and wanted to help them. she wanted to be the one protecting her sons, not the other way around. She didn't even want attack anyone. but she couldn't do any of what she wanted. she was under the complete mental control of the order.
Mina held the queen and stopped her from falling. then she carried her into the mansion to the chamber that Inumaki directed her to and the queen was laid on the bed. the same was done for the three young men that got fried and they were taken to different chambers for treatment and attended to by Yamato who was proficient in water healing.
meanwhile in the queen's chamber, Mina explained the situation and how to solve it.
"all we need is a little shock, and she'll be fine" she said
"well, that's not a problem for me" Yen replied as he reached out his hand towards the queen
"I ONLY NEED A LITTLE!!" Mina exclaimed as she tried to stop Yen from touching the queen with a hand that was intensely sparking with lightning, but she was pushed back by a sound wave that came from his other hand while he replied with the words "I know what I am doing" as he touched the Queen's head.
"why did you do that?" Mina asked in confusion as she approached Yen and looked at the queen.
"there was something inside her head" Yen answered.
"I knew I had to destroy it"
at this point, Mina realised that she had neglected the possibility of micro chips. she had expected it be a form of hypnosis or brain conditioning, but she forgot about the much more extreme approach that the order would have taken.
she looked at the queen and was quite impressed by Yen's precision. there was no noticable scar to be seen on her face and she was still looking as beautiful as ever. this was something that not even the best surgical procedure could achieve. all that was left was for the queen to wake up and let everyone see the result.
the first indication of the queen's wake was the tears that fell from her closed eyes. before she even opened them, she apologised to all of her sons, calling each one by his name. and as soon as she opened her eyes, she ran to each one of them in tears and hugged them tightly as she shed tears that were mixed with feelings of joy, love, sadness and relief.
for the longest time she had been unable to show her sons the love she intended. it was the saddest thing for any mother. but now that she had been granted the freedom to do that, she wasn't going to waste any time.
no one else had a chip in their brain so it was all good after the queen's own was destroyed. but there was still one major problem to be discussed.
"the people outside"
the explosion of the first village was just the beginning. as long as the order knew that Mina was still alive, more villages were bound to be bombed.
it was agreed for that the villagers would be let in but there was an issue of accommodation. there were only a few mansions and all of them wouldn't fit.
"then why don't we just build more?" Yen asked. everyone found it ridiculous; even Yen himself because "there is no one here capable of raising buildings" Inumaki responded and Yen replied with "I know, but I feel it will all work out" and Mina turned to Inumaki and said "trust me, he's always right"
They got ready to move. Mina was equipped with a kanata and her favourite crossbow which she also recommendation for Rosewell.
every other person was satisfied with their bare hands and magic, and the queen was to stay behind. before she let her boys go, she held each of them close and rubbed their heads as she placed them on her bosom. at first, the boys were flustered and hesitant, but they warmed up to it and everybody got a hug before departure.
they had only walked a little far from the city when they looked up and saw multiple projectiles flying through the air. it didn't take much thought to figure out that they were aimed for the villages.

as they all stood in a daze watching the missiles fly through the air, Yen thought to himself "before my descent, I heard a name called out loudly. I believe it to be the name of my father, the one who made me and has been directing my path. I believe to be a name that is called in the time of need. and I believe it is the name I should call now" and with all the power in his breath, he yelled "AMADIOHA!!!" and from the clear afternoon sky, lightning fell into his right hand which he had raised up and it was overflowing with energy. he swung the hand forward and a huge amount of lightning came out and formed a blanket above all of the villages, causing all the missiles to explode midair. it was a sight to behold. everyone that saw it stood in awe, not just at the power but also at the beauty. it was truly magnificent. after being amazed, Mina and the others made their way to the nearest village to try and warn them about the coming dangers and to also convince them to make t
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD When the rose blooms
the speech was a success. Mina took advantage of the fact that most of villagers were young people that didn't have a solidified belief in the words of the order. by Mina's intuition, it was speculated that the reason why there weren't any actual elders in the villages was because of the wisdom and influence that came with age. If an elder questioned the order of things, a lot of young people would join him in it. so it was very possible that the elders were replaced with well programmed androids because if the elders didn't question, the young ones wouldn't be motivated to do so. and according to Mina's experience in her travels, the process of replacing elders would have continued until elders didn't need to be replaced and everyone followed the words of the order as if it was ingrained in them by nature. Uzo's village was an example of a huge success. every of the order's will was done naturally by the people. only the order knew how long it took them achieve that but one thi

"the sensation filled my lips and my tongue then went straight into my head. then I felt it pass through every nerve in my body and settle at my heart. the electrifying feeling was something out this world. It was the feeling of love and its power." The two lovebirds were still kissing even after the battle had begun. Kojiro stood back to protect them within his barrier while the others proceeded to mow down the enemy. All of Mina's assertions were on point. the robot army that charged at them was powerful. their punches were fast, precise, and it felt as if one would instantly die if he got hit by them. the way they moved was awfully machine-like and one could understand why they didn't use handheld weapons after seeing the amount of blades they could eject from different parts of their bodies. but despite the the intimidating features these things had, the only problem that Inumaki and his boys had was the problem of numbers. their metal bodies were no problem for
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD white flame
"Don't you ever call me that again" Mina said angrily "I am no longer under your authority, and I was never your daughter" "I have transversed the oceans of the earth. I have survived the cruelty of nature. I have done things that even you deemed impossible. So when you talk to me, don't treat me like I'm the little girl you once knew" "PUT SOME RESPECT ON MY NAME!!!" "That was a nice speech" Albus said as he stroked his grey beard "But do you have the strength to prove it?" he said as pure white flames began to form behind him. He raised his hand and pointed to Mina and all the flames shot in her direction. The flames exploded on impact with high intensity and the shockwaves reached very far. The brightness of the explosion was blinding and the heat was of one that could burn steel. But after the explosion calmed down and the smoke cleared, Mina and Yen stood within the resulting crater unharmed. They stood within a dense lightning barrier and watched A
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Divine shock
"RAIKEN!!!" Mina yelled as she punched Albus in the face with a fist covered in lightning and sent him flying. She did not wait for him to land before launching her next attack with a bolt lightning and immediately after that, she rushed towards him and began a barrage of attacks moving faster than the speed a normal eye could follow. Each attack was faster and stronger than the former. Mina didn't leave any opening for Albus so he created one for himself. Mina was about launch her next attack when she found herself evading another concentrated flame. It didn't come from Albus' direction but from behind and she look back, she saw a whole lot of light balls. Mina already knew the next action to take... run. With all her might Mina fled the area before the barrage flames rained on her and Yen was waiting where she stopped. "Need my help now?" Yen asked "Nahh, I just need a weapon" she replied "Well our swords didn't survive the rampage, you have a crossbow th

Mina woke up in Yen's arms on the back of a moving open-roofed pick up truck. "Where are we headed?" She asked, looking up at Yen "We are going back to the fortress" Yen replied. "Don't worry just rest" "We'll be there in no time" "In the mean time, you need to recover your energy" Although Mina didn't fully understand the situation, she trusted Yen and closed her eyes to sleep. She was too tired to ask about the truck, or who the two people in the front were and how they found them. She had a lot of questions she wanted to ask but she needed to sleep more than anything so despite the bumpy ride, she slept soundly throughout the journey. The first thing Mina saw as she opened her eyes for the second time was the walls of the fortress. Once again, she woke up in Yen's arms but there was no truck, just the two people in front. "Who are they?" She asked with the tone of an exhausted person and one of them turned back to answer. "I am Lee Shuan Gou" h
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Schneider's tale
"I come from a time long before the order. In my time there was no magic but we had reached a point where our technology was almost magical. Men could fly and there was no illness or disability that couldn't be treated. We solved all the global issues such as hunger, war and global warming. In other words, we created Paradise on earth. It was all good. There was peace, there was harmony and everyone lived a good life. The only things we couldn't find answers to were social problems, the problem of eternal life on earth and a few other question that remained unanswered throughout history. This time was worthy of being called 'the age of Paradise' No one at the time expected their Paradise to be turned into hell but it did. It did not happened slowly but overnight and it was not a sight one could bear to look at. The source of our hell was that which we had televised and ridiculed throughout the ages. It was a machine uprising. In a world where almost everything was

As they went further into the city, Mina was surprised to see that most of the people were already settled down. "It's not even getting dark yet" she said In awe. "Well she isn't called a queen for nothing" she added "It was Yamato" a distant voice said "It was Yamato that did it" the voice said again They turned to see Inumaki walking towards them. He explained everything to them. The the people had settled, the order of the fortress was established, and the new appointed leader. While everyone was in battle, Yamato brought the people into the fortress. He singlehandedly cleared and refurnished enough buildings to accommodate everyone. By the time we came back, he was already registering people in as citizens. He knew more about leadership than any of the others so they left the role to him. Also the queen retired. "I would like to meet this queen of yours" Susan said "I would also like to meet Yamato" she added. So they took her to the queen's resi

The bird and the beast
From within the circle came forth a huge bird of prey; a hawk. It appeard to be fully covered in silver. Just by looking at it, one could tell that its beak was harder than a rock and that its claws were as sharp as blades, even its wings didn't seem flying was all they could do. At this point in the battle where pride was being cast aside, the same thought ran through the minds of everyone watching. "NOW THE REAL FIGHT BEGINS" "Go" at this command from Chris, the bird threw itself at Orie with incredible speed. Orie evaded the bird without problem but what came next was quite challenging. After evading an attack from above he found himself facing one from below. Not many can escape such attacks from Chris. He would use the bird to make his opponents dodge in a certain manner, then he would go in for the real attack when their balance had been compromised. It was quite an effective move, but just not for Orie. "How is this possible?" Chris thought to himself as h

The market day
"This is my day" "This is my day" "This is my day" It kept repeating but Natsumi could not understand what it meant" "This is my day" She knew she had forgotten something "This is my day" She was sure she had forgotten something "This is my day" Something that would help her discern the situation. "This is my day" It stopped as soon as she realized what it meant. She remembered that when she thought it was Orie's birthday, he had told her these words. She remembered how he told her of the four market days of his tribe and that he shared his name with one of them. She remembered that he told her how the days affected his power, and this made her the least surprised person among the audience when Orie got back up on his feet. "WHAT... THE... F***!!!!?" Ellie screamed at the camera "How much blood does this guy have?" "He's lost so much yet he is still standing" "What kind of immortal dragon sh** is this" "This is not easy to believ

Silver blade
Chris Vanadium. The only reason he didn't make it to the finals as much as Cal was that he faced Waramaki in most of the semifinals. He is one of the few people that have been able to beat Cal in the previous tournaments. He is also a one time champion and the one he beat to earn that title was none other than Fuji Waramaki. There were many reasons to fear him, but most feared attribute of his was the speed of his blade. Yes, he fights with a sword and he is really good with it; so good that a large percentage of his matches end in less than a minute. Anyone that saw his previous match was immediately reminded of how dangerous he was, even some that had faith in Orie in the previous match lost it for this one. To sum things up on how dangerous he was, the chance of him making it to the final match of the current tournament was ninety-nine percent. Though Orie's match was the first of round one, in round two, his match was the third. Not many had high hopes for this match beca

The doubt of many
There was complete silence in all parts of the stadium. It wasn't that people had nothing to say but what could they say that could explain what just happened before their eyes? They just watched as the referee ran in to confirm the outcome. It took longer than usual as the referee also had his doubts but in the end he had no choice but to declare Cal unable to continue. The silence broke immediately he stood up to declare Orie the winner. The doubt of many began to flow out in words. "IT'S A LIE!!" "THIS IS BULLSHIT!!" "THIS GAME IS RIGGED!!" There was no word of doubt that was not spoken at that moment. Even when the medics came out to put Cal on a stretcher, people still thought it was an act. What could Orie do? He had just won a match and no one believed it. There was hardly anyone cheering for him, all the loud voices expressed nothing but doubt, hate, and disbelief. Despite all the hate he was getting, he just cracked a smile and walked out of the arena

Fight like me
You never truly appreciate a miracle unless you heard of it before it happened. That moment when the thing you thought was just too impossible begins to unfold before you for the very first time. There is no look more precious than that of one who has had such experience. Miracles happen only once. After that, it becomes a possibility. Cal and Orie were initially rated on a seven to one ratio. This meant that the officials of this tournament believed that Cal was at least seven times more powe6r than Orie and seven times more likely to win. At the current time the ratio had become ten to one. It seemed hopeless for the few that had put their faith in Orie. The match wasn't over but the situation made them feel the winner was already decided. "What is he doing in there?" "Does he have a death wish?" "Just give up already!!"even some of those that were on his opponent's side felt pity for him but Orie was not one to dwell on pity. He could not hear their words, al

The strong man
"Ellie Porter here" "Live from the inside of the stadium and best seat in the house" "The starting buzzer for the match has been sounded but neither of the contenders have moved from their starting positions" "Cal is taking his time to charge up his power but we have no idea why Orie hasn't moved yet" "I still stand on my support for him but he has done what the rest of the world consider to be the greatest mistake in the history of this tournament" Ellie was right. Everyone that won against Cal in the previous tournament was powerful but that wasn't the only reason they won; they were able to win because they stopped him from charging up properly. The last person that let him charge up fully got knocked out in one hit and that was the expectation most of the crowd had for Orie. Soon, Cal had finished charging up. One could tell by the steam-like aura that could be seen emanating from his body. He got ready to move as the cheering of the crowd got louder; he was con

Day one
Just in case you were wondering where the fight was happening, the SHIN SEKAI company built a large stadium in the middle of the island where all roads cross. It was not exactly a hard place to find; in fact it was the most findable place in all of the island. The city was crowded with people from all over the world who were there for many different reasons. With the exception of those that came to spectate the matches, the most common visitors to this event were scouts and reporters. The tournament may not do much for the teachers, but it had the power to determine the future of the students that participated. "Ellie Porter here, reporting live from stadium one" a woman spoke with a clear voice as she stood with a microphone in front of a camera man. "As you can see, people from all over the world have come to witness the first match of the new world tournament" "This tournament was first introduced thirteen years ago on the same year that the school was built"

The goal ahead
The new world tournament was one unique tournament. Despite the fact that it was held by a school and it's participants were staff and students, it still managed to draw worldwide attention. One contributing factor to this could be that the Shin-sekai academy was a prestigious school and was attended by the children of many of the world's elites but the major factor was that it proved to be more entertaining than many others in the world. The structure of the tournament was divided. The teachers' tournament took place first then the students' came after. After winners had been decided from both sides, the two winners would then have a face off. The winner of the previous teacher's tournament was Fuji Waramaki who had remained undefeated for five years. He also won all the face-offs with the student champions. The teachers tournament was full of old faces and the only two new faces in the tournament were Orie and Natsumi. Not many expected a different result from the teach

Gale to storm
"The breeze in the west shall become the storm in the east" "It shall become a powerful force in the north" "And a sight of awe in the south" "And when it returns to the west..." "It shall be unstoppable" "My dear boy, Andrew Clipper" "These are not mere words" "This is your story" On hearing this, Andrew opened his eyes. He was on his knees and Orie stood beside him, placing a hand on his head. The room was dark and was lit by seven candles, and there was no one else in the room with them. Though all the doors and windows in the room were closed an intense wind blew within it. Gradually, the wind got stronger and blew ferociously around the empty room. It was strange that the seven candles didn't go off. "You are a storm that will sweep through all" "A wind that can move lands" "A reckoning force of greatness" "An unbreakable wind" "That, is what you are" Shiro was waiting for them outside the room. Throughout his the time he was wa
