Three shots to the head. That was all it took for Orie to end the mage squad that was held in high regards in all of Freeland. It couldn't be called a battle, it couldn't even be called a face-off because they all lost their lives as soon as they set their eyes on him.
As soon as he had offed the mage squad, he set his sights back at Hughes. The commander who had just regained himself tried to run away but immediately got shot in both legs and fell. As the commander crawled in futility, the bringer of his death walked slowly behind him.
Meanwhile, Shiro had found himself lost in the middle of town.
"So what do now?" He asked himself as he paced around with Lighting speed.
"I mean..." He said
"...I had it down to the escape part but now I don't what comes next"
"I don't know where my friends are, I don't know where Genji is"
"How do I even...."
"STOP RIGHT THERE!!!" a voice yelled through a megaphone
"PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!!!" the voice yelled again as Shiro turned around to see who it was.
Shiro soon realized that he was so lost I thought that there was an entire croud around him and he didn't even notice. In the middle of that croud was Shiro surrounded by a remarkable number of police officers.
"What did I do?" Shiro asked the officer that was yelling at him.
"CAN'T YOU TELL?!!" The officer replied in his megaphone
"Oh man, these things hurt my ears" Shiro said to himself as he covered his right ear in an uncomfortable gesture.
"As a matter of fact" he said as he looked back at the officer
"I can't tell"
"Why don't you tell me"
"Urghh" the officer sighed, putting down his megaphone for a moment and bringing it back up to say...
"UNDER THE LAW OF THE GREAT NATION OF FREELAND, YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR PUBLIC DISPLAY OF SPECIAL ABILITIES!!"
"IF YOU DON'T COME WITH US QUIETLY, WE WILL BE FORCED TO MAKE DRASTIC DECISIONS"
"I ADVISE YOU SURRENDER PEACEFULLY, AND MAKE MY JOB A LITTLE EASIER"
"That sounds like a good idea" Shiro replied
"But the problem is" he said as the expression on his face turned menacing
"There's somewhere I need to be right now and would really appreciate it if you don't get in my way"
The air began to intensify, the lightning around Shiro began to spark more brigthly, his eyes glowed with pure light and everyone that saw him was filled with fear.
"We can't handle this on our own" the police captain said as he turned around to face his crew.
"Let's contact the special forces to take care of it for..."
Before he could finish talking, his men opened fire on Shiro and there was chaos everywhere. Every civilian around began to run for their lives as bullets started flying through the air.
"Hold your fire!!" The captain yelled
"HOLD YOUR FIRE!!!" He yelled through his megaphone but his men kept firing at Shiro who just stood there as the bullets stopped in front of him and fell down.
"Electromagnetism" Shiro said to himself
"Quite fascinating, don't you think?" He said as he looked at the officers shooting at him.
"Ohh" he said in realization
"You can't actually hear me" he said as he vanished from their sight.
"WHERE IS HE?!!"
"WHERE IS HE?!!!" the police men shouted in confusion but were interrupted by a louder yell.
"STOP IT!!" the captain yelled
"We're supposed to be questioning him not trying to kill him"
"We got new orders" one of his men replied.
"Lieutenant Hans" the captain said in disbelief
"All new orders are to pass through me" he said
"And nothing was relayed to me"
"A.J. Irons" Hans replied
"In adherence to orders from the headquarters of federal task force of Freeland"
"You are hereby releived of your duties as captain and as a police officer" He said as all the other offer turned to point their guns at Irons.
"You are to be held in one of our advanced holding facilities until you've been cleared of all suspicions"
"Thank you for your service"
"Hmm" Irons sniggered
"So that makes you the captain now" he said, looking at Hans
"Thank you for your service?"
"Isn't that the same thing you guys say to our soldiers before you f**k them over"
"If you want to tell me 'f**k you', you don't have to be polite about it"
"And if you wanted to arrest me" he said anger reverberating in his voice
"You should have brought more guns"
"DON'T MOVE!!" Hans yelled
"If you move, we will be inclined to use lethal force" he warned
On hearing those words, Irons just laughed. At first it was a slight chuckle but soon after, he began to laugh out loud.
"We all know you're going to shoot anyway"
"So why don't we just skip the formalities..."
"... and get down to business"
Not many of the police men heard all of what he said before they started shooting at him.
"These idiots never learn" Irons said to himself as he watched them shoot in futility
"Why would you go against a man without knowing what he can do"
"Didn't your encounter with that kid teach you anything?"
Shiro watched this drama unfold from a tall building nearby.
"Wow" he said as he watched the bullets stop before they could get to Irons.
"That guy stole my move"
"There's probably an interesting story behind all this" He said
"But there's somewhere I need to be right now" he said as he disappeared from the scene.
Irons knew the crime he was being charged with. It was for unauthorized use of special abilities. He had used his magnetic powers to save a girl from an incoming truck. He thought that he would be pardoned for his good deeds but apparently the law didn't give a damn about kindness.
"I tried so hard" he said
"and got so far as a law abiding citizen"
"But in the end,"
"none of it matters"
"It's like I was born to be a fugitive"
"So who am I..."
"...to go against destiny"
Suddenly, all the bullets that had stopped in front of him turned around and with a little gesture from his hand, they shot back with immense force and destroyed everything in the way.
"What now?" He asked himself as he walked away from all the destruction
"What now?"
SHIN SEKAI SECRET: Victor found a way to give his mom access to a pocket dimension. That's why she can pull stuff out of nowhere despite not having any powers.
Nega had a bit of a hard time getting back home but he was still the first to arrive. He sat on his chair in the same room he had met Orie and the others and proceeded to get a smoke. He made sure his blunt was rolled perfectly and searched himself for a lighter but couldn't find any. "Need a light?" A familiar voice said from the distance. He looked up to see someone he knew that he really needed at the moment. 'Philip Vaquero', arguably the greatest bounty hunter of his time with very few competition. With an almost perfect record, he made his way to the top spot in the bounty hunter world and what made him fearsome was that all his bounties were top tier and of the highest grade. So if Vaquero ever came for you, all you could do was hope that you were wanted alive. Such a fearsome man stood in front of Nega and called him "BOSS" with a casual salute and he reciprocated with a casual "yo" "You're quite early" Nega said as he reclined back on his chair "Well boss"
"If you ask questions that have already been asked, you will get answers you've already heard" "I find myself having to give answers to a question that has been asked many times" "A question with many answers" "An whatever action I take" "I would just be chosing amongst the multitudes of answers that have already been given" "What would you do if someone you love turned her blade against you?" "Do you strike back?" "Do you let them strike you?" "Do you find fault in them?" "Do you find fault yourself?" "Do you blame an enemy?" "Do you blame yourself?" "Many answers are given to this question" "But the only true answers are given by those who already made their choice" "Some would say that a gentleman would first try to initiate dialogue before drawing his sword" "But I am not a gentleman" "There is a creed i stand by for all situations" "If you want the story to go in your favor" "If you want to stand high at the end"
"OVERSHADOW", that is what was heard before the entire hall was thrown into a complete white-out. Everything was affected including the color of Mia's skin and hair. For a brief moment, Mia's expression showed that of one who was remorseful of her actions but it immediately switched back to the paleness it had before and she continued attacking Shiro. Her attacks had become sloppy. The intense color altering caused by Shiro's technique had a great effect on her ability to concentrate and differentiate the things in front of her and she found herself running into walls more often. "The real Mia would have figured this out by now" Shiro said in disappointment as he effortlessly evaded all her attacks. The battle stretched on and after a while, things started to regain thier normal appearance. The ominous figure in the dark made an observation. Even though he could see Shiro through a monitor, he could not feel a shred of his presence at all. The case was different a while ago
Mia recalled a conversation she once had with Shiro. She remembered asking him "if I ever turned my blade against you, what would you do?" And Shiro's answer was "I don't know" "I don't know if I could bring myself to fight against you" was Shiro's answer but it wasn't one that she approved of. "If I ever turn against you" she said "It would not be of my own will" "and I wouldn't be in my right mind" "So whatever happens" "Stop me" "Even if it means breaking my bones" As Mia recalled the event, she gave Shiro a piercing stare that carried the message "You thought I meant it literally?" and he gave back a look that said "well... I don't know what you're talking about" and her stare turned into a cold gaze. "Shiro dear" she said in a calm but threatening tone "You know I love you right?" She added and Shiro was like "oh shit!!" "But..." She said and Shiro already knew what was coming. "I'll surely get back at you for this" she said and Shir
Power is always associated with trouble. Sometimes it is great enough to save us from trouble, sometimes it isn't. Sometimes it is so great that trouble can't get close and sometimes its greatness is the reason why trouble comes. Sometimes it's not about how you use it, sometimes it's about the power itself. The mere existence of a certain power could stir up fear, awe, hatred and envy depending on who percieved it and how they do. "My power is supposed to kind that helps me escape trouble" Victor said to himself as he drove through an empty road with nothing but desert on both sides. "But unfortunately" he said with a sigh "I'm stuck with a lot of trouble magnets" "What a drag" It wasn't long before the lonely house in the middle of nowhere came into view but it wasn't the only thing in sight. What was seen was both scary and magnificent. A lone cowboy stood in front of the house and before him was a fresh field of corpses that spread far around the hou
"A great awakening happened once" "And the people of the world regained the sense of self they never knew they had lost" "Returning along with it was their greed, and their desire to own things." "All property was unclaimed and the race to claim them was intense, so intense that it lead to fights, then small group battles, then full scale wars between Nations." "Our freedom from the order brought a chaos that that we could not handle" "And it took a long time before we could attain balance" These were the words of Edward Clipper as he sat with them through the journey. "Why are you telling us this?" Shiro asked and Edward answered. "It is a truth I must speak as a descendant of one who saw it all with open eyes" he said "All the land was taken over by the order but the sea wasn't, and the sea was the home of my ancestors" "As those who were unaffected by the enslaving rule of the order, they witnessed the unfolding phenomenon with full awareness and
When your life is weird enough that travelling half across the world by sea in a single morning doesn't freak you out, you know you need a break. But unfortunately for Shiro, the weirdness of his life doesn't allow for breaks either. As he laid on his bed to get some extra shut-eye, someone knocked on the front door of his house. He was too lazy to answer it and remained on his bed whining about it. "Oh, come on" he lamented "I just got back" "Can't someone just let me sleep in peace" "Even if it is just five minutes" Soon the knocking stopped and it was then that Shiro remembered that he had left the door open. "Oh, shit" By the time he realized what was going on, there was a stranger in his room and he was jumping out the window. "What's with the grin?" Shiro wondered as he looked back at the crazy looking guy that was after him. "Do these guys ever get tired?" He asked as he kept running. Shiro ran until the was far enough from him house and in a
"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
