Intro Song: / Citizen Erased - Muse
/ Gethsemane - Car Seat Headrest
Distant rumbles of force were being felt right at the heel...
And just as you look at the horizon-
The blue skies parted ever so slightly-
Until...
The skies themselves were cut in half...
Creating an uneasy empty blue, the clouds dissipating upon contact...
Of whatever that was...
Multiple heads turned and looked into the distance-
Curved chins and eyes glued to the sight-
A figure stood by the rooftops, assessing the situation...
He blew into the air, a dead toxin that filled his senses blindly-
He didn't care...
How could he stop...?
When he already started in the first place...
With him in awe and with an ever-growing realization that played right into his memories...
"This aura..."
The lit cigarette right between his fingers kept on burning and shrinking-
"I-it... c-can't be..."
And so...
It burned his skin, the sensation of pain he didn't register-
His mind kept playing on repeat...
That day...
Where they both resorted to extremes...
A sharp pain entered his temple-
Blurred visions of what had happened-
Screams of those he held close-
And screams...
He threw into the void...
"One day..."
"They would've come for us..."
"Suzu-nii..."
He checked his pack only to find...
None left...
He clicked his tongue and shook his head-
He reached out towards his inner pockets-
Only to find a crumpled and slightly worn-out cig...
He lights it without thinking-
And as he inhaled that which he'd been saving in case of moments like these...
Where the inevitable took place...
A pack of no cigarettes...
And...
His beloved brother...
Finally retaliating in return...
"Vengeance only eats itself..."
"Suzu-nii..."
"I can't keep doing what you've been doing..."
And as he exhaled once more into the air-
A flock of crows flew away...
Making ear piercing noises that dug deep right into your subconscious...
The wind blew ever harder...
And this time...
It was louder than ever...
He inhaled...
Once again...
"Fukushima... huh..."
Exhale...
...
Inhale...
Exhale...
Inhale...
Exhale...
...
Inhale...
Exhale...
...
And so...
He just stood there, knowing...
If Suzushii couldn't escape from what he had done...
...
How could he...?
He closed his eyes and whispered...
...
"Akari-san..."
"We'll soon meet now..."
"Sooner..."
"Than later huh...?"
...
And so...
...
Fukushima...
...
Had ceased to exist...

/ Map of the Problematique - Muse
All for the sake of...
Love...
All for the sake of...
Vengeance...
And regained honor...
Will the measly lives of people be thrown to the wayside...
All for the sake of...
Who really knew...
Anymore...?
And with the slight flick of the wrist..
And...
The swift centring of the forearm...
Will such atrocities be justified...
Just as the many before... like it...
Like them...
And with his slight smirk that played under his playful lips-
His stare above such...
Masses...
May his status be imposed on them...
May their hands...
...
Get back to work...
As they have always put it...
For so many... and many more decades to come-
Or so...
They thought...
...
"Go do your thing..."
"Shion..."
She nodded...
With no hesitation...
As far as she was concerned...
She didn't care about anything else...
As long...
"As long..."
"It's for you..."
She...
Hid her warped smile...
Filled with all of the emotions, she never really knew how to...
Deal with...
And so...
The daylight that permeated the entire city...
Started to be covered...
By a choking and thick mist that would've never came at this time of year-
Hell...
Its potency would have never been possible here...
It's like...
It's as if...
They're announcing their arrival...
With giant bright lights that said:
WE'RE HERE!!!!
NOW DIE!!!!!!!!!
...
The other one could only look as his heart had begun to fill-
Just like the mist that started to pile on top on each other...
Mikoto could only stay by the side-
He might've riled everyone up-
He might've put on a massive show-
But deep down he knew...
He wasn't one to directly mess up something as delicate as...
As...
Family...
He hung his head downwards one more time-
Remembering all of the sharp pain...
That day...
...
As if it had just transpired yesterday...
How could he be as cocky as himself?
When he was there...
When it...
Happened...
He saw...
Him...
...
Pull the trigger...
Right in front of him...
...
"Atsu-cha-"
"Hell what am I kidding..."
"Even you don't deserve to be called that anymore..."
"You fucking traitor...!"
He bit his lip...
Knowing no pain such as this...
Could ever compare...
To whatever Aoki has been building up for the past...
For the rest of his life...
He beat his head over and over again-
Breaking apart and sobbing miserably...
"If only I could've seen it coming!!!!!!!!!"
"IF ONLY!!!!!!!!!!"
"If only..."
And in that moment-
It's like he was transported to those fields...
He could still smell the burning shrubs...
He could still feel her warmth...
Leaving his hands...
Just as he saw her...
Split head...
By the seams...
"H-hey!"
He twitched his head uncontrollably-
His face and state revealed-
To his...
Arch nemesis...
But even she...
Couldn't mock him...
As much as they loathed each other's guts...
"I can't bring myself to hate you..."
"Miko-chan..."
She grabbed his shoulder tight-
And embraced him in return...
This was something...
So rare...
They couldn't even remember the last time it happened...
If they even showed their affection for each other in the first place...
"Y'know..."
"Tei..."
"Hmmm?"
"This was all for Aoki..."
"I..."
"I..."
He looked to the city below, and with the mist so thick...
Was it even there...?
In the first place?
Tei hadn't really seen this side of himself before...
Her usual sarcastic and mocking attitude had suddenly disappeared-
In the wake of this...
His eyes...
Looked like it carried weight that she...
Had never really thought he carried...
Ever...
"It was all my fault..."
"I should've been the one to stop..."
He scoffed at the thought of ever recalling such a person...
"Him..."
He...
Somehow felt safe near her...
Safe enough to rub his face against her shoulder-
She...
Didn't know what to make of this...
"Well..."
"If you feel such things..."
"Then make up for it..."
"Right here... right now..."
"Got that?"
Her hand trembled...
At the thought...
But she knew...
He...
Needed it...
So she did...
She...
Caressed his hair softly-
An act that even he was surprised at-
"Yeah..."
"I will..."
"Thanks Tei..."
"Thanks a lot..."
She let go of him and grasped him by the chin...
Rubbing both his cheeks together with her hands-
She...
Smiled so softly and sweetly-
He had to blink twice-
Just to double-check if this was even THE Tei Satsujin...
He knew...
"Yeah yeah..."
"You i-idiot..."
"So go get yourself ready already...!"
Her lips curled after saying this...
And so...
Did he as well...
…
/ Stockholm Syndrome - Muse
Black holes filled the sky-
They looked like could swallow everything around their wake-
But really...
Truly...
That really was the case...
Anyways...
A lone man stood in front of his subordinates...
Conflicted on what to feel of the situation...
It was such a long time coming...
What was he supposed to feel?
Happiness?
Now it's finally happening...?
After all this time?
Fulfillment?
Rage...?
He gritted his teeth with his clenched fist to the side-
Her visions and mind were only being filled by the loss of someone so important-
He thought...
That's what was important...
This...
Was for her...
And ultimately...
Even if he didn't feel it right...
This...
Was for The Great Empire anyways...
So rest assured...
"Just let it happen already..."
Each moment had accumulating weight-
Like the clouds around them that started to fill to the brim...
Thanks to Shion's mist...
And as he waited for the right moment...
He saw it-
No-
He felt it coming...
And it would surely fill the heavens with his grief-
Like so many others around him-
His comrades felt it...
He...
Felt it...
"This..."
"This is all for you..."
And just as he shed a single tear...
"Akari..."
It signalled the start of their assault-
And so did the rain follow right afterwards-
They instantly flashed downwards-
The energy leaking right from their fingertips-
Each of them...
Knew...
What they had to do... now...
"This..."
"Better be not..."
"All for nothing..."
...
The entire city was...
Least to say...
Shook... to the core...
Imagine seeing from below...
Black holes that devoured the sky and everything it came across-
And flashes of light that only laid bare to complete destruction-
It was simply incomprehensible to the human mind...
Massive crowds and buildings fell, rubble and corpses littered the air-
To them...
This was just another job-
Nothing out of the ordinary...
They've done this so many times before-
Even any Ishiins that could even barely grasp the magnitude and some semblance of what power they simply held-
It...
Wasn't enough...
How could it be...?
When you're face to face with the strongest Ishii users in existence-
Great Leaders for a reason-
The mist and the blistering rain made it worse for any bystanders to even sense anything was wrong-
Or...
To be able... to even discern such danger...
All they felt was the ground shaking-
And explosions and buildings collapsing-
The scent of blood was barely registered-
You could just stand there, just to find yourself crushed and smushed like nothing-
As if you were just another insect on the ground...
A life so meaningless...
What even is the value of such...?
Anyways...?
...
The madness and chaos of war were spread so effortlessly-
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
All throughout the city-
But each of them knew...
Their purpose here...
It wasn't just to cause meaningless deaths and destruction-
Their bodies were gliding with extreme precision-
Moving and cutting through the air-
Like a butter-knife that spreads-
His hair was waving all over, his eyes-
Determined...
To execute the REAL reason of why they were even here in the first place-
Aoki looked over to each one of them, nodding-
A single look was all it took-
They understood whatever the other one was thinking-
One spoke up, raising his voice:
"I can't sense him... nor can I with... ughhh...."
"Him..."
"Hmmm... he must be masking his aura well..."
"Just what to expect... from a former leader..."
He clicked his tongue, his aura-
Like a thin slice of air, had divided into smaller and smaller pieces, attaching to everything it came into contact with-
And it would always form into something-
That resembled...
A human eye...
Except it acted much more than seeing with vision-
It could relay information and sense all five senses without such organs that are needed-
From the human body...
It joined in with the rain, and along with his comrades-
Mikoto could only gag at this-
"Man... I never liked having your aura on m-me!"
"It's sick!!!!!!!"
Aoki just gave a simple glance-
...
And that alone was enough-
"Ugh!!! Fine!!!!!!!"
Mikoto rolled his eyes-
Tei beside him began to shake her head in response to this-
"Stop complaining!!!!"
"And here I thought-"
Mikoto instantly flashed to her position to complete man-handle her and cover her mouth with complete frustration-
"Mmmph!!!!!!!! MMMMMMPHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
With her spit on his hand, he tightens his grip-
"Don't you DARE tell me what to do-"
"You FUCKING BITCH!!!!!!!!"
...
He...
Felt something was off...
He just stood there...
Knowing...
Already...
He was waiting for something...
Or...
Someone...
He sweated cold bullets-
And in feeling a cold chill down his spine-
It's as if a spirit had just entered right through his mortal form-
His body-
With the hissing of such-
Emanating from within him...
"I think that's enough..."
"Mikoto-san..."
Her voice kept on shaking his inner core-
Like his entire world was being shook-
Somehow...
Like his entire being and spirit...
Was being taken from him...
Somehow...
"S-shut up!!!!! Shion!!!!"
In the heat of the moment-
He didn't know it...
That he had loosened his grip-
...
He felt an instant space growing-
His mind wasn't even able to discern such events happening-
He only did...
Right after the fact...
...
With Tei hitting him right by the chin, sending him flying a long way upwards-
A rising altitude-
With a burning spot that kept on growing-
Mikoto was almost knocked cold-
But...
...
He came right to after-
With his body up above to the very tip of the stratosphere-
He gritted his teeth-
Diving downwards-
He was cutting through the air, gaining more momentum and speed-
With his arms and legs all focused on a single point-
The wind and speed kept on blurring his own vision-
Only focusing on...
Her aura signature...
That's all he ever cared about-
And before he came into contact to get his much-needed retaliation on Tei-
...
A figure stood, capturing both fists that were sent flying from either one of them-
One was burning from the insane drop he came from-
The other filled with so much potency-
It could've killed him if it managed to hit him...
"THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
His voice had cut through the atmosphere, creating an echo that kept on reverberating-
Shaking the air in its wake-
"Mikoto-"
"Find where Suzushii is-"
"Or whoever he loves-"
"We'll need a ransom"
His cutting to the chase...
Was more creepy... than ever...
It unsettled both combatants, who despised each other-
To the point of a deathmatch transpiring-
Aoki could only show he meant...
Business...
By tightening his grip on both fists so hard-
Even a proper aura defence was no match for him-
Both screamed in extreme pain as he took their aura from them-
Creating an extreme pressure that could disable them for their entire lives!
"And YOU!"
Tei could only gasp at being called out for-
"Remember our objectives-"
"You and Shion are in charge of gathering as many resources from such masses around here..."
"SO STOP. WASTING. TIME."
His cold raised voice filled her ears, she had wanted to make excuses to defend her innocence on the matter-
But she...
Could only shake and tremble from his silent but controlled rage-
"This is all your fault... you fucking asshole!" she whispered right next to Mikoto-
"Likewise to you! You fucking monstrosity of a woman!"
...
"Y'know..."
"I'm not keen either on WASTING any more time watching you lot..."
"Banter any further..."
All their heads turned to see the new addition to the situation-
"I see..."
Aoki's voice had amalgamated and merged with the mist that surrounded them-
His...
Purpose...
Was just standing right in front of him...
As if...
To just give himself away...
...
So easily!
Too... easily...
He chuckled at this...
Clearly very amused at the turn of events...!
Under his breath, he started murmuring:
"How convenient!"
...
"So you don't want a wild goose chase...? After all...?"
"Leader of destruction..."
"Or should I say... "
"FORMER"
He just sniffled at being referred to, rubbing his nose playfully-
His hand was preoccupied with being hidden by his coat's pocket-
The other kept on twitching uncontrollably-
Still on his nose, did he use it-
His look...
Mocking...
His mouth...
Curving...
His eyes never really left the four of them-
All his attention was given fully-
To them...
After all...
...
He was the only one here...
Who could stand a chance...
Of even fighting against them...
Even if that had to be...
...
A 4 v 1...
...
"Well..."
"What are we waiting around for...?"
"Let's do it already!"
...
"I never really liked... any of you..."
"This must mean..."
"I don't have to hold back anymore..."
"What a TREAT!"
"AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHHAAHHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He laughed so hysterically, it's like he was turning into somebody else-
He started spinning and twisting and turning his body-
His eyes were on the skies even further beyond the ones that they already were on-
He slouched his back, arching it-
With his hands starting to collect more and more and more and more and more and more and-
MORE AURA…
/ I’m in Your Mind - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
His face...
Was something else...
It had turned...
Shifted...
It...
Became something else...
It's like he was holding back something from...
"These people"...
For sooooooo long now...
His grin was larger than anything they could perceive-
Great big white teeth-
And with such potent aura...
It was swirling and causing the wind around them to literally contort-
By his ability-
By his will-
Because he willed it so-
Because...
He wanted it to...
And before any of them could even blink to see what happens next-
...
Her face was already spread and smushed right through an entire building-
Glass shards flying along with the rubble-
Massive collateral damage being commited-
But...
He...
...
Didn't care one bit...
Not at all...
All that mattered was...
They paid...
And got what was coming to them-
"This was such a longtime coming-"
"Y'know that?"
"MMMMMMHPHHHHH MMMMPHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
She struggled against his hand, which carried her so carelessly-
So...
Easily-
Biting against his palm, causing a sharp jolt of pain to enter his system-
And yet...
This...
He didn't flinch even one bit-
HE THREW HER DOWNWARDS CAUSING THE ALREADY DAMAGED BUILDING TO ENTIRELY COLLAPSE IN AND OF ITSELF-
SHE SCREAMED AGAINST THE VOID-
But alas-
It was no use...
Her heels were tight-
Her steps were desperately holding on-
She gained momentum mid-air-
Trying to catch up to him-
Black holes came and surrounded his position-
Sucking up all the air, all around-
"Tch!"
"HEHE!!!!"
He just chuckled at the pathetic attempts of trying to corner him-
His aura having not even lost its potency, which was all around his body-
All it took was the wave of the hand-
And a few of her comrades suddenly rushing his position-
And just as the rubble started to fall, along with the dust-
Time seemingly slowed down-
Atleast it did for him...
All he had to do was move his body out of the way-
To neutralise the black holes with his own even larger and more overwhelming surges of wind-
...
HE KICKED TEI BY THE THROAT-
DESTROYING HER CAPABILITIES OF COMMUNICATING WITH HER ALLIES-
SHE INSTANTLY DUG INTO THE RUBBLE BELOW THEM, JOINING THE MANY CORPSES THAT FOLLOWED THE CRASH-
IF SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY SEMBLANCE OF AURA PROTECTING HER-
THAT VERY HIT-
WOULD'VE DONE HER IN...
That's for sure-
HE THEN FLASHED IN BETWEEN BOTH BOYS AND GRABBED THEM BY THEIR OWN THROATS AS WELL-
APPLYING SUCH PRESSURE-
IT WAS SLOWLY CRUSHING THEIR WINDPIPES IN THE PROCESS AS WELL-
HIS GIGANTIC WIND SURGES STARTED TO CAUSE DESTRUCTIVE AND CHAOTIC MESSES-
THAT SWALLOWED ALL OF THOSE THAT CAME INTO CONTACT WITH IT-
IT WAS SO IMMENSE IN POWER-
IT WAS OBLITERATING MORE AND ACCUMULATING MORE CASUALTIES-
THAN IT COULD EVER KILL THE LEADERS-
THAN IT COULD EVER KILL-
HIS FORMER...
"Heh!"
"Friends????????" he said in a mocking tone, staring deep into the eyes of those boys who just tried to take his life-
Their struggles greatly amused him-
But right in this very moment-
Mikoto had clearly written something on his wrists-
Suzushii's eyes widened-
And before he could even react to that-
In particular-
He felt a ghastly presence deeply strike him from within-
"Well shit-"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AN EXPLOSION SO HUGE IN SCALE AND IN WIDTH-
IT FULLY DESTROYED TWO CITY BLOCKS AND RISING, WITH SUCH EASE-
THE SHOCKWAVES OF SUCH A BLAST WERE SO IMPACTFUL-
IT COULD BE FELT ALL ACROSS THE ENTIRE CITY-
AND BEYOND-
This catches the attention...
Of a certain young boy...
Who had thought...
...
This was just another day...
...
MIKOTO FLASHED, GRABBING AOKI'S COLLAR WITH HIM-
THEIR FLAILING BODIES STRUGGLED TO WITHSTAND THE RADIUS OF SUCH A DETONATION-
BUT BEFORE THEY COULD EVEN PROCESS SUCH AN ESCAPE FROM THEIR MINDS-
...
A lone man had kept their auras in place-
As if they were just frozen in place...
He stood unscathed from the blast's effects-
This baffles Mikoto, who could only move his eyeballs, trying to discern the situation clearly-
The same with Aoki-
Whose visible anger had started to pile on top of each other-
He doesn't care that he was close to being a dead man walking-
Thanks to earlier-
All he longed for was this man who stood in front of him-
His head...
Served on a silver platter-
Just for him to splatter his remains-
Just for him...
To revel in his torture...
For the entire existence he's had to endure...
Because of his actions...
Because of him...
THE RAT...
...
"And here you thought..."
"You could kill me....?"
"Think again, punk!!!!!!!!"
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Suzushii was so drunk on his so-called: "superiority" that he so believed in-
Without question-
A creeping sensation started to worm up against his heel all the way towards his thighs-
The writings on his wrists were rendered useless-
When he had his potent aura-
When he had his signature technique-
Nullify the effects of such an explosion-
From ever dealing him a paramount damage...
He grinned from ear to ear-
Licking his lips, clearly satisfied with himself-
...
Aoki could only sweat from his bow, looking in turn towards Mikoto-
Who could only nod multiple times-
In return-
The wind around them-
The atmosphere around them had started to thin out-
It was getting harder and harder to breath-
They could only at the bizarre sight in front of them-
A gone maniac of a man-
And not just any man...
But the one that ultimately...
Ruined their lives... and for the rest of the whole world...
Or so is what they very much so believe in...
And in their bated breaths, did their patience-
Not wear thin...
It...
It...
I-it...
...
It wasn't all for... nothing...
...
"AND NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
AOKI SCREAMED, JUST AS MIKOTO WAVED HIS HANDS-
CAUSING A MASSIVE CAGE TO BE SUMMONED IN FRONT OF SUZUSHII-
ULTIMATELY TRAPPING HIM-
AND SO DID THE WEIRD EYES OF AOKI'S, COMPLETELY COVER SUZUSHII'S BODY-
IT STARTED TO BURN HIS VERY SENSES-
IT STARTED TO HURT FOR HIM TO-
SEE-
HEAR-
TOUCH-
TASTE-
...
And feel...
...
AND SO HE STAYED THERE ALL TRAPPED ALL OVER-
ALL PARALYZED-
IRONICALLY-
UNABLE TO MOVE-
JUST LIKE THEM...
EACH ONE OF THE METAL BARS OF THE CAGE-
GRABBED ALL OF HIS LIMBS AND ARMS-
THE PRESSURE WAS SLOWLY BUILDING-
AND SO WAS SHION-
WHO HADN'T LEFT HIS BODY-
LIKE HE THOUGHT SHE DID-
IT KEPT GETTING MORE AND MORE INTENSE-
JUST AS THE EYES KEPT ON PILING ON TOP OF EACH OTHER-
TO THE POINT OF SELF-CANNIBALISM ON FOR ALL OF THEM-
THE METAL BARS NEVER LOOSENING THEIR GRIP ON HIS LIMBS-
SLOWLY BUT SURELY-
ABLE TO DESTROY HIS ABILITY TO EVEN MOVE AUTONOMOUSLY-
ANYMORE-
AND JUST...
AND JUST...
...
AND JUST-
WHEN IT ALL LOOKS LIKE IT'S THE END...
HIS LIPS COULD ONLY CURVE TO THE DIRECTION HE WAS ALWAYS SO SURE OF-
...
"And I..."
...
"I WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
They...
Confused by this...
They started to feel such an imposing aura forming around their persons-
It...
Was this weird-looking symbol that looks like it had-
These swirls... that are reaching out to become a spiral-
...
And before they knew it-
...
"REVERSE..."
…
/ This Fire - Franz Ferdinand
Each one of those abilities that were inflicted on him-
Were turned against their users-
...
This would be pretty useless...
Against their own abilities...
He admitted...
But all that matters is...
...
"Hihi..."
...
He bought himself...
Some time...
...
He raised his hand upwards, his eyes were as focused as ever-
His brows started to furrow further-
His attention was on all four of them-
Started to play accordingly-
And just before the leaves from those destroyed treescapes-
Had fallen-
His afterimage was all they could see-
HE WENT SO FAST-
YOU COULD NOT PERCEIVE HIS MOVEMENTS THEREAFTER-
ITS LIKE HE WENT THROUGH TIME AND SPACE-
THE BLACKNESS OF THE VOID FILLED HIS EYES AND SO DID FLASHING LIGHTS OF THE OUTSIDE WORLD-
BEING REFLECTED-
ALL THE MEMORIES OF HIS PAST COMRADES-
ANALYZING EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEIR ABILITIES, AND HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM ACCORDINGLY-
"Good thing... I fought with full strength..."
"If I fought with half of my full power..."
He looked at the surging power that surrounded his body, the way it danced by his fingertips-
He watched and contemplated the flashing images...
OF HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM-
CAREFULLY TAKING EACH STEP-
"So this is what it takes..."
"To win..."
"Ahahahahahah..."
...
"Did you think you were the only one who had access to these kinds of places?"
"Hmm?"
"YOU FUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!"
AND BEFORE HE COULD EVEN GLANCE AT THE INTRUDER-
HIS BODY WAS COMPLETELY PUSHED RIGHT THROUGH THE INNARDS OF HIS OWN PERSONAL DIMENSION-
THE SHATTERED REMAINS ALL OVER HIS BODY-
THE HEAT AND STEAM OF HIS AURA PROTECTING HIM FROM THE IMPACT OF SUCH A BLOW-
PERMEATED ALL ACROSS THE AIR-
HIS POSITION WAS INSTANTLY RUSHED-
"So this is how you're going for it? huh?"
"Well, come on then...!"
"BRING. IT. ON."
HIS EYES STARTED TO WATCH ALL POSSIBLE ENTRY POINTS TO HIS CURRENT POINT-
A FIST CAME INTO VIEW FROM THE MIST-
HE IGNORES THIS AND DODGES IT WITH EASE-
HIS MIND STARTED TO RACE-
HE KNEW WHO HE HAD TO INCAPACITATE FIRST-
"YOU."
THE MIST STARTED TO SWIRL ALL OVER HIM-
BLINDING HIM GREATLY-
THIS DIDN'T MATTER-
AS LONG AS HE WAS NEAR TO HER-
ALL. HE. HAD. TO. DO.
WAS.
A MASSIVE ICEBURG EMERGED FROM RIGHT BELOW THEM-
ITS MASSIVE SPIKES HITTING HER-
THE SUDDEN SUBZERO LEVELS CAUSED HER ORIGIN OF MIST-
AND HER AS WELL-
TO FREEZE COMPETELY OVER-
MULTIPLE EYES FLOODED THE SCENE-
THE WIND STARTED TO SHIFT GREATLY-
BODY MOVEMENTS THAT EXCEEDED ALL HUMAN COMPREHENSION WAS ALL THAT COULD BE SEEN-
FISTS AND KICKS AND HITS AND JUMPS AND FLIPS-
WENT ON FOR MINUTES ON END-
THE ADRENALINE PUMPING-
THE TENSION-
BUILDING-
SUZUSHII'S FOOT SLID ON THE AIR, AS HE WAS BEING CHASED BY-
THOSE TWO-
"Focus! You bitch!"
"Stop arguing with me right now!"
"And no! I'm not forgiving you for THAT earlier!"
"YOU'RE ONE TO TALK! YOU'RE NOT THE ONE WHO HAS HIT TO LITERALLY ALMOST COME THIS. CLOSE. TO BEING SENT TO OUTER SPACE!!!!!!!!! FUCK YOU! YOU LITTLE TWAT!!!!!!!!!!!"
...
"Y'know..."
"I didn't know you two started to get on each other's nerves..."
"But hey!"
"It is sure one hell of a show!"
"So don't stop!"
"DON'T STOP BEING DISTRACTED. IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!"
They gritted their teeth, as both their collars were carried in the air-
Suzushii couldn't help but to glare at them-
His eyes carrying more weight than ever-
"I'm not letting you kill any more..."
"You fucking pathetic excuses for humans..."
HE THREW THEM SO HARD AND FAR, HIS ANKLES STARTED TO BEND-
STARTED TO ACHE-
FROM THE FORCE HE WAS GOING TO NEED-
TO CATCH UP IN-
...
HE BEAT THEM AND PLAYED WITH THEM LIKE PING PONG BALLS-
PLAYING A PERSONAL LITTLE GAME OF CATCH WITH HIMSELF-
ALL BY HIMSELF-
"HOW AMUSING!!!!!!!!!!!!" SUZUSHII SCREAMED WITH DELIGHT FROM HIS HEART-
EXPLOSIONS STARTED TO COVER THE AIR-
THE IMPLOSIONS ROCKING THE AIR GREATLY-
WITH SUZUSHII CLICKING HIS TONGUE IN RESPONSE-
HE STARTED TO AVOID THESE CAREFULLY-
TRYING TO CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN THESE-
AND THEM-
BLACK HOLES STARTED TO ACCOMPANY SUCH OF THESE-
ALONG WITH THIS-
THEY WERE ALL BEING TRANSPORTED TO MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS-
THANKS TO TEI-
AND IN THE CHAOS OF BEING TRANSPORTED TO SUCH DIFFERING PLACES-
FROM ICECAPS OF THE ANTARCTICA-
TO THE SANDY DUNES OF THE MIDDLE EAST-
TO THE WASHED-UP RUINS OF THE JUNGLES OF PERU-
ALL THE WAY TO THE BATTLEFIELDS RAGING ON ISRAEL-
THEY KEPT ON FIGHTING AND CHOKING EACH OTHER OUT-
SUZUSHII KEPT DODGING AND THINKING-
DESPITE THE RAPIDLY CHANGING SCENERY-
POSSIBLY DISORIENTING THE SENSES-
"THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"IF I CAN'T KILL. YOU. BOTH."
HIS SMUG LIPS CURLED FURTHER BY HIS EDGES-
"I'VE JUST GOT TO OVERWHELM YOU-"
AN INTENSE AMOUNT OF AURA STARTED TO COME OUT OF HIS BODY-
BOTH MIKOTO AND TEI COULD ONLY LOOK OUT IN HORROR-
AN AURA PRESENCE THAT COULD RIVAL AN ENTIRE MOUNTAIN WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM-
THIS IMMEDIATELY DESTROYED TEI'S WILL-
UPON HER DIMENSION POWERS-
AND WITH THE CLARITY OF THE SITUATION-
HE SAW TWO FIGURES BENEATH HIM-
LIKE INSECTS. QUAKING FROM HIS SHEER AMOUNT OF WILL.
AND WITH BOTH OF HIS HANDS AND ARMS LIFTED.
UP AGAINST THEIR FACES-
A MASSIVE TSUNAMI AND A MASSIVE TORNADO WERE FORMED.
DWARFING THEIR MINUSCULE FIGURES-
...
AND ALL IT TOOK WAS THE RELEASE OF SUCH FORCES OF NATURE-
WHICH HAD TAKEN OVER THEIR BEINGS-
WATER HAD FILLED THE LUNGS OF ONE-
AND THE OTHER-
WAS BEING THROWN ENDLESSLY BY THE IMMENSE WINDS THAT KEPT ON SPINNING AND SPINNING-
DEFINITELY SOMETHING YOU COULD NOT RECOVER FROM-
EVEN IF YOU HAD ANY MORE AURA OUT OF YOU-
...
Suzushii could only pant from this...
His body trembled from the sheer magnitude of his prowess and power...
"I've only got a bit left after all... huh..."
And like a lit flame that was quickly fading-
His light was fading rapidly-
He quickly turned his head over to the person by his sides-
Watching all of this-
As the many many miniature eyeballs that couldn't be wiped out-
Even if he wanted-
Were still watching him...
So intently...
So intensely...
Analyzing him...
But at the same time...
He knew...
What he didn't before...
What kind of power he had up his sleeves...
He just stood there...
Not only in awe...
But of...
Boiling rage...
Of wanting...
To finally end this...
...
"Suzushii Kakomi..."
"No wonder you were the former leader of destruction..."
"What a fitting title..."
And just as the wind kept blowing further-
Howling.
Rushing.
Imposing.
"Why not have a little chat with me...?"
"After everything... YOU'VE done..."
…
/ Iron Lung - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
"After all these years..."
...
His words were slow...
But deliberate...
It's like the chaos and the destruction that just happened and is still happening-
...
Was of no concern to HIM...
At all...
He cracked his neck, he scoffed...
Glaring at the man he so eagerly despised-
For what seemed like...
His entire life now...
He has lived more of his life...
Mourning...
What little family...
He saw in her...
Left...
What was left...?
To begin with?
"Tell me..."
"Why'd you make him do it...? hmm?"
Silence...
All he got was nothing...
The leaves had finally started to fall and spread all over the city-
The city which suffered the wrath-
Of what seemed like-
Decades worth of pressure, tension and suffering...
From all parties involved...
And just as it came to them-
"WHY'D YOU MAKE HIM DO IT?!?!?!?!?!?"
"HUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
HE RAISED HIS VOICE AT HIM, HIS BLOOD-BOILING AND BLOOD-CURDLING ESSENCE-
Gave no way nor mind to Suzushii...
He just stood there taking it...
Possibly...
Recuperating and building up what little aura...
He even had left...
"You think you bastards are any better...?"
"You think what you are doing to our people! OUR country!"
"Is for our good-?"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP"
Aoki retorted, his spit spraying outside of his lips-
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THAT!"
"TELL. ME."
Suzushii felt the eyeballs that surrounded him twitch uncontrollably, possibly getting ready to take action-
"WHY DID YOU TAKE MY ONLY SISTER AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Why..."
"Why..."
He started to choke up... the breath on his throat...
Leaving him panting as well...
Controlling that many eyeballs...
Trying to scare him off... in order to paralyze him up.
GOOD.
He showed his neck towards him, grabbing his nape with his hand-
Arching his shoulder-
"You've got to understand. THIS MUCH"
"Whatever your dumbass name was!"
All Suzushii's body language called for was-
How much he didn't care about THIS supposed sister of his-
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?"
Aoki's eyes lit up-
Hellsfire began to build up inside of him-
Words raring...
To go up against Suzushii...
"SHE. DIDN'T. MATTER."
"In the end... she was just part of the plan..."
"To stop another world war from brewing..."
"You bastards aren't changing anything!"
"ALL YOU'RE DOING IS MAKING IT WORSE!"
...
Aoki could only sew his mouth shut-
Looking for the perfect buttons to push-
The perfect weakness...
To exploit-
...
"Kakomi..."
"What did you think we came here for?"
"Hmm?"
"Just to attack another city, which we can do... ANYTIME WE SO CHOOSE"
Suzushii just spat at this, gritting his teeth-
At how little he and his subordinates...
Valued the human life...
"No no no no no no no no!"
"We came here..."
"TO TAKE EVERYTHING AWAY FROM YOU."
"YOU THINK WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOUR 'FRESH AND NEW START'?"
"YOU THINK WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE CUTE LITTLE FAMILY YOU HAVE HERE?"
"AND HOW ABOUT YOUR STUPID LITTLE PRICK OF A LITTLE BROTHER-"
"THE BASTARD WHO DID ALL OF THIS."
"YOUR. LITTLE. PUPPET. ON. STRINGS."
Suzushii could only keep listening...
He didn't know what to make of this...
All he knew was...
How much this was sounding to him...
He bit his lip...
Ever so maddingly...
A futile effort in trying to stop himself...
From erupting any further...
"WE WILL TAKE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE YOU LOVE"
"YOUR STUDENTS! YOUR LITTLE BROTHER!"
"AND HIS ADORABLE LITTLE FAMILY!"
"YOU ASSHOLES DON'T DESERVE THIS SORT OF HAPPINESS."
"NOR. ANY."
"AFTER WHAT YOU PULLED OFF...!"
The wind and the light and the clouds started to worsen...
Blackness permeated all over-
Covering those souls already lost at the battle fought here today-
And to those who saw such horrors...
Who knew that they would be affected even further...
A little figure kneeled in front of their levitating forms-
Suzushii felt his aura brush up against his shoulder-
Craters that destroyed the concrete roads beneath them-
Water filled them up so effortlessly...
A rage-filled look and sobbing that was indiscernible from what was all around them-
He...
Could feel this...
Confused...
So confused...
His mind was struggling to absorb what to make of...
ANY. OF. THIS.
"So..."
"This is how IT is..."
"Huh..."
His hands started to glow a familiar blue, a deepening color that could swallow everything it came across-
With such ease...
"Remember this... Kakomi..."
"If any of you didn't leave..."
"If you didn't leave... like that..."
"NONE OF THIS WOULD'VE EVER HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"WHY FIGHT FOR SUCH PATHETIC AND DYING PEOPLE LIKE THESE BASTARDS!"
He let down his arms, waving at the devastation of the city-
Almost cut in half by their very actions-
THE FULL EFFECTS OF WAR-
WAS IN FOLD-
"WHEN YOU'D BE LOSING THEM A THOUSAND-FOLD!"
"FOR WHAT TWO HAVE DONE...!"
"Kakomi..."
The two of them glared at each other...
Such weight of the world, the future...
And their loved ones...
They carried this and so much more...
Around their bodies and spirits...
"An eye for an eye..."
"We're not done with you yet..."
Suzushii could only look below...
Towards a kneeling and sobbing familiar of his...
"Not until everything you two have built..."
"Comes tumbling down..."
"There is no need for RATS like you..."
"In the new world and empire..."
"WE WILL BE LEADING!"
"THAT WE WILL BE CREATING!"
...
"You..."
"You couldn't ever win... against us..."
"NO MATTER. HOW HARD YOU TRIED."
"AND NOW."
"WE WILL WIN THIS FINAL WAR."
He spread his arms so wide and far-
You would think he was the one controlling the weather.
Himself...
"So just go die already..."
"You, along with your little rat family..."
He raised his hand against Suzushii-
THE MULTIPLE EYEBALLS THAT SPREAD ALL OVER THE CITY-
STARTED TO RUSH SUZUSHII AND REMAINED ATTACHED ALL OVER HIS PERSON-
THREATENING TO PARALYZE HIM ONCE MORE-
SUZUSHII KNEW HE HAD LITTLE AURA REMAINING TO ESCAPE TO HIS DIMENSION-
IN WHICH IF HE DID-
HE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ESCAPE.
EVER.
HE KNEW HE COULDN'T REVERSE IT, HE WASN'T GIVEN A CHANCE TO IMPLANT ANY SYMBOLS-
IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE IT-
HE WAS ALREADY BEING SWARMED BY- WHICH HAPPENED TO BE HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF EYEBALLS-
THAT WERE NOT ONLY IMMOBILIZING HIM AND HIS ABILITES-
BUT ALSO IT'S SLOWLY TAKING AWAY HIS AURA RESERVES-
ONE MORE MINUTE OF THIS-
HE THOUGHT-
HE'D SURE BE A GONER...
"Phew..."
"This is it..."
"I've got no choice..."
"He's near enough to be affected..."
"This is going to take every little bit of my aura-"
"Hopefully..."
...
"There'd be some left..."
"For me to even wake..."
"At all..."
"Heh..."
...
"Here goes nothing then..."
...
A HUGE FLASH OF BLUE LIGHT FILLED THE ENTIRE CITY, BLINDING AND DESTROYING ALL OF THE EYEBALLS THAT WERE-
HIM.
AOKI COULD ONLY STARE BACK-
A HUGE STORM OF A DEEP BLUE STARTED TO GROW RIGHT BEFORE HIM-
HIS NECK WAS STARTING TO HURT-
FROM NEEDING TO CONSTANTLY WATCH SUZUSHII'S POSITION-
IT WAS GETTING TALLER AND BIGGER-
WIDER AND LONGER-
THE WIND DIDN'T ONLY SHIFT BY THIS-
WAS. THE. WIND.
WAS. THE. STORM.
AND SO IT HAPPENED...
AND SO...
...
"CLUSTER STORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
...
This was it...
This was...
...
The Fukushima incident...
Itself...
