2023-02-03 16:23:12as 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 their way to the fortress. it was not a simple task.
the people's dependency on the Order ran too deep. even when they were told that the order was trying to kill them, they still wanted to consult the order on what to do about it. it was as if they were programmed to do so.
the young men and children which were the only ones that seemed to be convincible were still under the indoctrination of the elders so Mina had to face the ones at the top. but all speech seemed to fall on deaf ears so the team walked out without completing their objective.
the attitude of the people was the same in all villages so Mina had no hope of even saving anyone.
"how do you save people that don't want to be saved?" she said in frustration. then she noticed a little girl at her feet. she squatted down and looked at the girl who was staring at her with fully dilated eyes and an open mouth with the occasional "woow" coming out of from it.
"what's your name, little girl?" Mina asked in curiosity
"Anna" the girl replied
"where's your mommy, Anna?" Mina asked again but the girl couldn't answer. she asked again but the girl replied with "what is a mommy?".
when Mina heard the girl's words, she immediately picked her up and and went to the next child she could find then asked the same question. she repeated it five times and it was clear that none of them knew what a mother was, not even the older children knew.
they did another investigation and found out that there were no mothers in the village, but they did find out something interesting though.
they ones that knew what a mother was defined it with a really disturbing piece information. mothers were selected, and those who were selected were taken to the capital city and only their children were brought back to be taken care of by the elders.
so just like Mina, the children there grew up without meeting their parents.
"I feel like eliminating the elders." Yen blurted out as he looked to Mina for approval.
"ehh?" Mina responded in confusion
"It sounds like good idea but I don't think anyone would follow us if we kill a bunch of old men." she added
"I'm very sure it will be worse"
"what if they are not men?" Yen asked
"what do you mean?" Mina replied
"we can't kill women either" she added, and Yen replied.
"I mean.... what if they weren't human beings at all, is that okay?"
then it dawned on Mina. she finally understood what Yen was trying to say. the order was know to use androids in many of their operations. some of the prophets that Mina knew were androids so it wouldn't be a surprise if the elders were also androids. another thing that convinced Mina was the fact that Yen was always right about his instincts.
"why didn't you mention this earlier?!!" Mina asked with the highest pitch her voice could obtain and Yen was a bit hesitant to answer.
"I um..... I just didn't want to be reckless about it." he said
"and what makes you think it would have been handled recklessly?" Mina asked
"your attitude just now" Yen replied as he snapped his finger loudly, releasing a pulse wave that spread as far as the eye could see.
"what did he just do?" Inumaki asked and Yamato simply answered "EMP"
"so we're going back to that shack of a town hall" Mina said
"also, we have to do it quickly" she added
"because if what Yen said is true, then the order already knows we are here."
they made their way back and saw that the all the elders the were talking to had shut down.
"I'm never doubting you again." Mina said, looking at Yen.
"now let's move to the next stage of our plan" she said.
"Who is good at propaganda?"
since he was the fastest, Yen was tasked with going to the other village and gathering all the androids. he was also given a set of transmitters to place in all the town halls.
the person that was deemed fit for the propaganda was Yamato. he was the youngest of boys but he proved to be the smartest and he also had a convincing aura.
after Yen was done with his task, Mina activated the transmitters in all the town halls and a holographic projection displayed Yamato who was ready to give his speech.
"people of Nihon" he said
"It may be hard for you to believe what I am about to say but I have to say it...."
"you have been deceived"
meanwhile the prophets of the order were having a round table meeting.
"what shall we do now?, lord Albus" one asked
"they have gone too far" another added
"they have neutralized our our elder units" another one said
"SILENCE!!!" Albus yelled from where he was seated and the room's atmosphere grew cold. as a high prophet, he was the only one in the room that wasn't hooded.
"we made a mistake in Africa." he said
"we will not repeat it"
"UNLEASH THE LEGION UPON THEM!!!"

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

"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

"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

Albus walked through the halls of his lab in a frenzy. His rage was visible and could be felt from miles away. "What's the status on the pathfinder" he asked as someone handed him a file. "So it's still the same" he said as he looked into the file "YOU INCOMPETENT BASTARDS!!!" He yelled, throwing away the file and walking into one of the rooms. It was an old room full of books and the person that Albus came to see had his back turned. "Our legion was defeated" the man said "Our subjects were taken" "Our most powerful prophet met his match" "And not a single one of our enemies was harmed" "The council is not happy" "These rebels have created a nation and soon they will coming for ours" "So do we strike back immediately?" Albus asked and the man replied "No" "This is not the time to use crude methods" "We already have a plan they won't see coming, so don't worry yourself, General Albus" the man said and Albus replied "Yes,

His eyes were heavy, his voice was inaudible, he could feel his consciousness fading but he kept on praying.He had thought that he had enough strength to keep up the prayer but his condition was worse than he had thought it was."I'm sorry" he said as he fell to his knees and went silent.As the paramedics were rushing to take Orie away the thing that he was trying to keep under control broke free and took over Natsumi.Kaen tried to call back his flames but they were sniffed out as soon as they came in. The mist was thick, it was cold and he could barely see what was in front of him. Icicles were coming at him from different angles and he could hardly evade any of them.He saw himself at a dead end. He could not see anything he could do that would cause him to win the match. He was tired, bleeding, aching a
Keeping cool
"Who should I fear more?" Kaen wondered"Is it the monster that makes me shudder""Or is it the vessel that contains it?"As Kaen prepared to engage his opponent, all that he could think of was the fear that he felt. He could not forget it.Not many remember it but there was once a great incident that took place in Fubuki island. It was an incident that almost claimed the lives of all who lived on the island.A great frost, so cold that no flame could resist, quickly spreading and freezing everything in its path. In the dark winter night when many slept, this frost came along to take their breath.Somehow, everyone woke up in their beds the next morning with no recollection of the past twelve hours. This event sparked many rumors and among them was the rumour that the residents died and were brought back, proponents of this rumor backed their claims by speculating a tragic event within the twelve hours period.That night came to be known as the night where men slept.

He looked around in confusion, trying to figure out where he was. The last thing he could remember was that he was surrounded by dust in the arena.He looked at the nurse who seemed surprised for a reason and asked "how long have I been here?""F... Four days" the nurse answered nervously and Orie remain silent"We thought you were dead" she added"Who won?" Orie asked"What?" The nurse replied, still shaken up"My fight" Orie rephrased"Who won?""Well..." The nurse replied"The other guy was disqualified so...""... I guess you won""Oh" Orie said as he tried to get off from the bed but the but the nurse immediately moved to stop him."You just woke up sir" she said"We can't let you walk around till we know for sure that you're okay""I'm okay" Orie replied as he got down from the bed but
Still standing
Of the expectations that the people had, no one expected that a majority of the spectators would be okay with the outcome of the fight. They were sure that what they saw was real, they were sure that what they saw was fair, they were sure that the contestants gave it their all and they were sure that the winner deserved his victory.Even those who didn't support him in the beginning were cheering for him with all their heart, even those who lost their bets because of him rejoiced at the sight.There were many good fighters in the tournament, many who at the wave of their hands would cause marvelous sights but of all the fights in the tournament, Orie had shown them most invigorating.The cheers went on for a while until people in the crowd began to notice that the referee was yet to formally declare a winner. Soon they noticed that orie had not made a single movement since the clearing of the dust, he was still standing but he could not move.Though one person was on the floor while t
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
