《A Hidden Secret(Cancelled)》V2 16: 11 Years Ago, 2140 #4

"CADEN! RUN!" A female voice screamed, accomplished by the sounds of explosions alerting everyone inside the building, Caden looked back and saw his two icons fight in the middle of raging flames, he didn't want to continue but he had to. He ran down the hallways of destructed walls collapsing everywhere he went from all the explosions that happened right behind him.
Soldiers grew in large groups just to chase one small child, but this didn't slow Caden down, it just made him more violent. Every soldier he saw in front of him was thrown onto the floor in a brutal squashed way.
Traces of bullets skimmed across his leaking ears with no reaction from Caden as he focused in front of him instead of behind, he lifted an automatic gun and face its shooting hole in the direction of the chasing soldiers. He forced the trigger to be pulled, causing the gun to fire everywhere, hitting a few on the way.
He thought he was escaping until something massive feel upon him, pained was experienced across the whole of his body as he felt his bottom half go numb. Smoke flew from under the collapsed wall that fell on Caden when he was running.
Caden coughed blood out once he felt the blood suffocating his throat, he struggled to climb out of his trap, ignoring the fact that he was swimming in his own blood, this made the soldiers catch up quite quickly.
A soldier aimed his gun at Caden before his grin pulled the trigger to end a suffering life, a loud boom followed with the soldier exploding everywhere, the boom was caused by a lightning Charles generated when he skipped in front of Caden. His eyes were glowing white, puffing out smoke a monster would when they're angered to the minimum.

Diana appeared not so long after ripping the hearts away from deranged crowds, slowly becoming tired from the continuous waves of hostility coming their way. Caden just watched, he just watched his final last hopes slowly get killed in front of him.
He just didn't want to live anymore, seeing the blood of his hopes be scattered across his innocent-looking face locked him into the darkness of nothingness. He just wanted to drown in the endless miles of the abyss, Caden spent his whole life being looked at as a monster for rebelling against the corrupted government.
Caden wanted to win the war, but he failed to do the revenge he always wanted. He felt very powerless against these creatures he constantly was abused by.
Distraught memories of his loved ones screaming to him to run continued to repeat in his lonely world.
All the millions of lights blinking far away from him stopped when Caden spoke out his broken words.
"Maybe I should become a monster..."Caden spurted out.
Them million lights that blinked started to fade away to only until one was left, it grew for a while before Caden noticed it was getting bigger and began fading into the colour of red. The tiny words started to become clear, the words said, "Rage". Then reality struck Caden, he felt empty and the only thing he felt was that one thing, it was Rage.
The black painted background shattered, showing the new world of Rage, it had one lonely black ball of light attracting Caden's attention, he reached his hand out and touched the ball that awoken him from his slumber.
"Caden..." Diana groaned with a shredded face covered in blood, she reached her hand out and Caden looked at her entire figure laid across the floor next to a dead Charles. When he saw the hand reach out to him, something clicked in him that caused black lightning to grow out of his back and whip through all the destroyed walls.

Caden crawled out from the walls, catching a bullet in his hand that just went off a second ago. Caden unblinkingly looked at the bullet and looked at the person who did it. In seconds, the attacker was blown into small pieces under the drownings of black generated lightning Caden created. Then the back lightning attached to him whipped more aggressively all around his spot, avoiding the closest ones he had something for.
Black lightning started crackling around Caden to the point it affected his soulless eyes, he turned his head to look at Diana who was shocked, he crouched down and cupped his hand under Diana's chin to look at her clearly.
"I'm sorry for becoming your monster" Caden quietly apologised, Diana strongly shook her head side to side with tears flowing from her eyes.
"N-No...even if you were a monster that everyone hated...You're a monster who we both loved dearly. So...do me one favour, revenge your fallen ones." Diana cried out loudly.
"K-Kill him!" A voice yelled. Bullets flew towards Caden, Caden reacted by calmly taking all the bullet hits, he didn't flinch once as he stood up in a crouched position.
"No no no, bullets don't work on me anymore after all the shit you done to me," Caden muttered not even looking in the enemies eyes. Bodies were seen flying everywhere, some were burnt, some were poisoned, some were frozen, some were electrified. Every power that existed, came out from Caden's body in the form of rage.
"I can just use 50% of my powers, but that might destroy the whole top of your country, Well, considering how mysterious my speed power is, it might just destroy the entire country..."Caden chattered in an emotionless tone. He looked at a dead Diana that changed his mind instantly, "Time to lose control of my powers." Caden gasped out sarcastically.
As bullets flew his way, the world froze in time and changed to the vision of grey and white, he looked at the ground and saw all of the destruction that was caused just in a day. He felt his Super Speed add up and took a step.
The world underneath him shattered, the cracks went miles until it stopped at the southern border, which was followed by a massive boom causing everything in its way to explode. Buildings, roads, vehicles, anything human-created vanished in an instant.
Millions lost their lives from the cause of one step that came from a small child, he felt no remorse, he became what everyone shouted him at.
He became a monster.
A monster that lied about 50% usage.
He only used 20% of his newfound powers.

Covenant Sinners: The Origin of a Demon Queen
Demon-slayer knight Hector Aeronwen became an enemy of all humankind after saving a dying half-demon girl out of pity. Little did he know, his impulsive action had forever changed the course of the world and the fates of many. This is the story about Hector's desperate quest and the beginning of the demoness whose destiny is to shake the world to its very foundation. Author's note: At the risk of spoiling too much of this story, I want to reveal a bit about the core idea behind this work of fiction. I set out with the idea to write a story in the perspective of the second in command of a demon lord, which then would be followed up with large scale kingdom buildings and warring states. But then I asked myself: what past do they have between them for the Demon Lord to have so much faith in her second in command, and for him to be so loyal to such a horrible being? So this is my attempt at writing the origin of those two, who, while hated by all races in the world, still have each other as the only confidant to entrust their life to. If you are like me and want to see where this premise, with a vague destination in mind, will lead to, please have a read and give me your valued feedback!
