Enforcers - Chapter 178
“In this dark, and frozen world we live in, we may fight against the monsters and our own kind alike, but we will stand and defend the hearts, and lives of our people, from all sides. That is the sworn duty that we the Enforcers uphold.”
‘It’s funny how Time seems to always uphold itself even with the smallest of Changes…’ Orion thought. He floated above the Planet unseen to many as he stared down at the newly frozen world alone. ‘I wonder why it brought me here once more? A fated battle that ends in the next story starting then again and again and again until we reach the Ero of Zero. Will the Ero of Hero prevail this time I wonder… Let’s see just how different this world will be…’
Age ????
An unknown date at an unknown time…
The Battle At The First Ship…
The battle that settled the fate of planet Earth…
“Rin!” A fist slammed into a young man’s face throwing him back across the metal floor of the ship that had just crashed. Rin let out a loud gasp as he tried to push himself back up to his feet. “Rin…” Rin looked up to see the person who punched him, and had just called his name. “Get up…”
Rin let out a pained gasp as he tried to get to a standing position. His eyes slowly focused on the man who was marching towards him. “Orion… Why are you doing this. Why now.” Rin questioned clutching his side. He had no doubt broken some ribs… He was hurting… That much was obvious.
“Because…” Orion said slowly. “Because all you do is screw up. Look around you, damn idiot!” The man yelled waving his hand around showing off all the ice, and snow that went on for miles, and miles in all directions. It was on all sides of the metal ship for as far as the eye could see. Up above the two men the pitch-black void that they now had to call the sky rested. Waves of pollution blocking out the sun. The other Orion who was up in the sky watching the fight made sure to remain unseen as he observed. Not like him interfering would matter. It would all reset again after all… “Look at this terrible, horrible, disgusting world you made! A world filled with ice, monsters, and worse of all… The race of man. Humans! I hate them! Our world is dead. And you think we can just settle with this one… This is the world you made! I don’t want this! I want my world! I want Earth! My Earth! Not this damn Ava!”
“Though it may have died it can be reborn,” Rin stated staring at the man who was once his comrade, his best friend, and most importantly his lover. He finally managed to get back up as he let out a deep breath he had been holding. “What you see as the death of our world I see as the burning hope. The Spark that we have. This isn’t the end. It’s the beginning. It will all come around.”
“Oh how right you are Master Strom…” The other Orion mutters from underneath his breath.
“I’ll kill you,” The Orion of this time said it in a quiet tone as he maintained eye contact with his ex-best-friend. He said it so calmly that it almost didn’t sound like a threat. It was a promise… The same kind of promise he had made when he said he could fix the world. “This is your fault. ‘He’ died because of you.”
“The Enforcers…”
“Shut up! Don’t pretend like ‘his’ death wasn’t your fault. Look at me! I’m becoming a monster-”
“That was the name you called our group.”
“I’m going to rip your throat out if you-”
“I’m going to use that name.” Rin announced loudly. “I’ll start the Enforcers. I’ll carry on our will. Our spark. Our Attributes. And most importantly… Our will to live. I’m going to use this power to recreate the world!” He announced. “This is my Equation. My Equation of Life!”
“This is the end of our story…”
“And it’s the beginning of their story.” Rin shot back.
Orion let out a quiet sigh. His iris flashed into an animalistic yellow color as his hair took on a dark blue color. He brought his hands together in a praying gesture as a blue aura appeared around him. A golden flash exploded out of his body as the image of a massive dragon appeared around him. It stood on two legs with a pair of powerful wings out behind it. Its own hands were up in a praying gesture as well. “Long Ryujin…” Orion hissed out. “Avaloketishvara-Thousand-Arms-Of-Compassion!” The dragon made of light, let out a loud cry as one thousand arms formed out of its body. “You’re dead.” He said calmly. “Each punch can destroy a small moon with ease. How about thousand of them.”
“So be it…” Rin said quietly. He brought his own hands up in a prayer gesture as a wave of electricity crackled around him. A white aura also suddenly formed around his own body as his electricity took shape gaining form. It took on the form of a giant crow made of blue lightning as it burned away the snow. “Storm’s Herald…” Rin announced in a powerful tone as a wave of power washed off of him matching his friend’s own power. “Deaths-Omen!” He said quietly as the electricity around him grew so bright it became white turning the crow made of electricity into a white glow. The metal beneath them actually began to melt as they marched towards each other.
The snow around the two men began to steam and melt as it was literally evaporated just by them standing near each other.
“This is where, this world ends…” Orion hissed out.
“You’re wrong. This is where the world is Reborn…” Rin said quietly.
“You’re both wrong.” The other Orion told himself. He began to fly up higher and higher. He had seen enough for one day. “There would be far greater changes to come.”
There was a bright flash as the two men fired forward incinerating the ground beneath them as the two beasts clashed. The Golden Dragon versus The White Crow…
“Orion!” The crow let out a loud cry.
“Rin!” The many hands of the dragon began to punch out faster then light.
“This is the end!” Both men screamed.
