As the giant army rushed through the war torn nation, the army carried with them the rage of a thousand suns.
Not 1.
Not 2.
Not 5.
Not 10.
Not 20.
But 50 Celestial Angels had dropped down, the rulers of the army. The 50 top soldiers, each with their own unique power!
As the army, led by General Krieg, a man who'd lost his daughter to the Adrenaline Junkie. He saw Jesse in his nightmares.
He had to kill him!
The bloody, bloody nightmares that kept him up in cold sweats. General Krieg couldn't handle it! He was going to kill that damned Adrenaline Junkie, even if it was the last thing he did.
Enraged, he thought about the enormous bomb dropped on New America, completely wrecking his home & killing his daughter! He would do anything to get revenge.
He'd decided to lie, to not only stay enraged, but to exaggerate the things that the Adrenaline Junkie did, to garner even more hatred.
His lied about many things involving the Freedom Junkie. Krieg said that he was a rapist, an animal abuser, a cannibal, a horrid existence who was incapable of feeling empathy!
These lies would further stir the army into action. Besides, even if they weren't accurate, they were still not too far from the truth.
While the Adrenaline Junkie hadn't done the things he lied about, it was still true that the Adrenaline Junkie had killed many people, and wouldn't hesitate to hurt the innocent.
The army of over 1000 men spiralled out into the barrier, glowing bright red & continuing, even now, to shrink heavily!
As the army marched forward, bursting throughout the land, one of the Celestial Angels looked at the barrier.
"It's closing in, why did it turn red?"
Originally, there were about 5000 soldiers, but it seems like the other 4000 soldiers couldn't get in the War Torn Nation. Had the barrier stopped allowing people in? What did this mean?
They didn't know that this was all because of the Energy Psycho's tinkering with her machine.
Fate, at this moment, was incredibly unpredictable, and now, because of the manipulation of fate, the barrier was somehow no longer allowing people to enter the War Torn Nation.
Another Celestial Angel, dressed in robes, looked down. He saw strange marks on the ground. His power as a Celestial Angel was to be able to track anyone. Among Celestial Angels, he was incredibly weak.
He had strength equal to a seasoned athlete, without ever having trained in his life, but that was the full extent that his power as a Celestial Angel gave him. At the end of the day, he was just a regular human physically. His real power was moreso mental than physical. Being able to track anyone down at any instant was a wonderful power.
"We already found a lead, General Krieg!" He said, excited.
General Krieg then stared at the man, and proceeded to ask him, "Where."
As the Celestial Angel pointed, another Celestial Angel, a beautiful albino woman, wearing glistening white robes, took the lead. Clearly, she was the second in command, only leading behind General Krieg.
"Don't worry, General. I'll take it from here. This Adrenaline Junkie, he's going to die, and i'm the only one powerful enough to do it." She smiled with complete confidence.
-Meanwhile-
As we travelled through the War Torn Nation, the Shapeshifter started to complain. "Hey, can we take a break? Let's talk a bit & introduce ourselves. I know that the Adrenaline Junkie's name is Jesse, but I don't know what his last name is, and the freaky cold lady has been giving me weird looks all day. Why can't we just teleport there?"
I'd told her already that I can't teleport other people, but maybe I could sometime in the future. Apparently, she didn't believe me, because she said that I teleported her to the War Torn Nation after dropping the nuke on New America, but I was being controlled in my dreams at that point. I definitely wasn't able to do it while in control of my own body.
"What is your name?" I curiously asked the Cold Hearted. She looked at me, and only sadly put her head down.
"I don't remember. I forgot." Of course. I figured she'd probably forgotten. I thought for a moment. "How about Ice?" I said, proposing a name. It was short, simple, and a good descriptor of what she was. I thought it was a good name.
Ice only nodded, and just accepted the name.
"What about you?" I asked S. "Your name can't just be S. You never told me it."
S hesitated for a second, before coming to the same conclusion. "Still, just call me S. I've gotten used to it." She seemed like she wasn't going to budge on this issue, so I just decided to drop it.
As we continued to walk, I shouted out. "Wait! What the FUCK is THAT!?" I shouted out in awe.
"What?" Ice responded, confused.
I pointed up to the sky. "That. The barrier. Why the fuck is it red? Is it pulsing?"
As I said that, a giant red shockwave rushed through the sky, completely shattering buildings at an insane rate.
"DODGE!" S screamed, as Ice barely managed to create a giant wall of ice. Unfortunately, the shockwave didn't kill her. I would have definitely found it funny if the shockwave cut through the ice & killed her, but unfortunately it didn't.
I sighed in dissappointment. As we continued to try to walk, another giant shockwave of red energy blasted through us again! This time, it was noticeably stronger, far more formidable than the last one.
As if on command, the barrier also... shrunk?
"Hunh?" I said, dumbfounded. It wasn't even a startled huh, it was more of a 'Well, i'll be' sorta gesture.
The barrier was definitely shrinking, but this time, it was shrinking far faster than ever before.
"I didn't imagine that, right?" S said from right behind me. Ice could only sit and watch.
"Oh, fuck my life." She said, exhausted. She just sat down, completely tired. Clearly, this new development to her was not a fun one.
For me, however, I was very excited. I didn't know what would happen next, but I definitely wanted to know.
As the cold hearted continiously blocked shockwaves, I decided to test something.
I saw an especially large shockwave, and decided to try to teleport through it.
"AAAUUGH!!?!?!?!*&#%9×,@$+-----
"FUUUUUUCK!!!" I screamed, my body going through immense pain!
At the moment of having my body meet with the shockwave, my equilibrium was set all off, and I began to speak in weird tongues, ones that nobody, not even I, could understand.
"Sxbno Ljaena vjmn hxd cqn fjh hxd jan" Those were the weird imalgamation of random letters that came out of my mouth. I certainly didn't know why.
I barely sat up, trying to catch my balance. "Okie dokie, note to self. Don't do that again." I said to myself in silence.
I definitely wasn't willing to do that again. It was way too painful, and I'd definitely had a large highlight of stupidity just now.
The Cold Hearted didn't say anything. She was trying not to get hit by the shockwaves herself.
Meanwhile, S was laughing at me, full volume. She clearly saw the embarassing display I just showcased.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer." I lamented under my breath, secretly fuming.
"What's that over there?"
I looked at S, who just asked a question.
Looking into the distance, I saw it, too. Roughly a thousand people were all slowly marching away.
What the-
The Cold Hearted spun around in fear, screaming at us. "What the heck? Is that an-"
She was right. It was an army. Giant waves of enemies, one after the other, permeated through the land. It was almost unimaginable!
"Wait? Why are they coming to us?" S stated, definitely set off guard.
Too much was happening at the same time. First, there were the red shockwaves, which are still pulsing out at a rapid rate, and now, a giant army.
"It's fine," I said, attempting to formulate a plan. "As long as we avoid them, I think we're good. The real problem is obviously the shockwa-"
Suddenly, one of the army soldiers started... flying?
"Hey, we got a problem here!" Ice knew instinctively now.
We all did.
It was a white robed woman with large golden wings. She shot out & burst through the sky, ripping through the gunpowder colored black snow.
The wind from behind her boomed, due to the insane speed she was gliding at.
"OH SHIT! SHE'S COMING STRAIGHT AT US!" S cried.
Fuck. What do I do? This lady seems like serious business.
The Cold Hearted generated a giant scythe out of ice, as large as a mountain, and swing it directly at the winged woman.
As the scythe was nearing her, she fly up even higher into the air, and her wings convulsed.
Instead of being bright gold like before, they turned fleshy and bony. It was disgusting.
Then, with one flap, she completely shattered the entire ice scythe, and created a giant wind tornado.
"This is bullshit!" I spewed out, unable to believe my eyes. "Why does she get such a cool power, and not us?"
As she sent another tornado directly at us, it hit S, who was unable to dodge, and was sent flying.
In the background, I could tell that the army was getting to us faster. I had to do something!
As more of the giant twisters ravaged the land, another strange incident occurred: 2 Giant streaks of massive fireworks charged throughout the sky, directly in front of the army.
At that same moment, the barrier shrunk even more, instantly killing many of the army troops. They couldn't even speak before the glowing barrier shredded their bodies apart, vaporizing them completely.
Taking 1 look at the general in the distance, I recognized his mask - The man who was angry at me after I dropped the nuke - The father!
Soon, the fireworks dissipated to show 2 Chaotic Demons, one very recognizable.
He was the Guerilla King that attacked me when I first entered the War-Torn Nation.
"You stupid army. Get the hell out of our land, or me and my son, Dran, will kill you all!"
Son? I looked at the other boy who was there. He was also wearing a mask.
General Krieg then ordered all of the troops to head closer in to the War-Torn Nation. It would only be a few minutes before the army got to us.
Dran then shot out in a blaze of fireworks, popping off in many different directions. It seemed like he had the same power as his dad.
Before he was able to, he was instantly stopped by a mysterious figure.
"No way..." The Cold Hearted sighed.
"What?" I asked, desperately looking for positive news, but finding the opposite.
"That guy, that just ran in front of Dran... He's a new Celestial Angel that only recently became one: A transmigrator from another world - The Perfect Human!"
As the Perfect Human was completely thrown back by fireworks, he then brought out a grenade, throwing into the air. Dran's face was completely shadowed as he was blown out of the battlefield. His face was completely scarred - brutally disfigured!!
"Who the heck is that guy?" I asked the Cold Hearted once again, who was finally back in the frey.
"All I know is that he's the son of the King & Queen of New America."
Really? That would mean he'd be incredibly young, but he looked like a grown man to me.
And, from behind me, hundreds of Guerilla's appeared, all with the same explosive power they showcased the last time they fought.
As I watched the complete chaos, with the Guerilla's, the gigantic army & us, I couldn't believe it. This was war. Without a doubt, even in the biggest War-Torn Nation, this battle was sure to be scarily legendary!!!
-Meanwhile, all around the War Torn Nation-
Many citizens were fearful, many were hopeless. All were in danger.
As the barrier started to close in, a lot of the citizens decided to flee into the middle of the War-Torn Nation.
Even the most ruthless citizens were nothing but ants in front of this carnage - And standing among them all was one woman, whose thrill seeking had taken an entirely new light.
She began to speak, as the shockwaves grew even more agressive.
"War! It's so beautiful! I can't believe it! All this time, with even my best friend dying for the cause! I finally made it! The machine worked! It gave me the power to absorb people's fates as their own. That Perfect Human gave me the instructions to build a massive superweapon from the outside!"
The reality was, that before entering the war as a soldier, the Perfect Human actually gave the Energy Psycho the blueprints on how to create this massive superweapon. It was her great intelligence and manpower that truly allowed her to make it.
The weapon was designed to harness the power of fate, and to overload a giant area with giant shockwaves.
The red thread of fate was untethering due to this machine, and the Energy Psycho wanted to use the machine to control fate as a whole, and she succeeded.
As long as she had the machine's core inside of her body, she'd suffer the most from the intense shockwaves, but she would also be able to control fate completely at any moment that the shockwaves hit.
Now that she slowly & surgically ripped open her stomach andshoved the core inside of her own body, she sewed up the wound she created.
Every time a shockwave hit, now, it came from the machine's core, which means that the shockwaves came from her body!
And even moreso, every time the shockwaves hit, she would gain even more control of fate. It would only be a short matter of time before she controlled everything.
In 10 minutes, her body would fully merge with the core, and she'd gain complete control of everyone's destiny!
