Chapter 29 :

DEEP WITHIN A MIND

(Soldier-SE) “Sir! Our men had been continuing to disappear for a while, we believe that the enemy had begun to move. What are our orders sir?”

Holding an AK-47 in it’s hands made of what looked light pure light, the entity asked a blurry humanoid that was sitting on a throne made of white flames.

It resemblances a human figure but as if a flame, the figure flickered and changed looking like it was trying to change forms.

(Light Entity) “We FIGHT! Prepare our defense! I feel like they had been slowly taking over and increasing their own forces. We must protect the inner subconscious! Do not allow them to take control of it!”

(Soldier-SE) “YES SIR!”

Rushing off to follow his orders, the sounds of gunfire echoed throughout the throneroom.

(Superego) “Looks like you have begun the attack Id! Then don’t blame me for erasing you from the world!”

Preparing himself, Superego reached out a flickering hand. The air around it warped and then a Rocket Launcher appeared in his grasp.

Flicking off the safety, Superego follow his soldier as he threw himself into battle.

NEARBY

(Id) “MEN! WE ARE THE STRONGEST! Prepare for war! Our mission is to take control of the subconscious building! Once there we MUST hold out until we have a deep enough grasp of the mind! FOR CHAOS!”

On a hill leading downwards into a modern like city with concrete buildings and roads, Id was rallying his troops as they prepared to charge to the center, the massive tower called the inner subconscious.

(Id) “CHARGE!”

Running down the hill, Id reached out with his flickering darkness hand and materialized a Grenade Launcher.

Similar actions were performed around him as his troops pulled out their weapons from the soul.

Shotguns, sniper rifles, UZIs, Pistols, every modern handheld weapon could be seen in the group.

Their numbers were in the hundreds of thousands, making it seem to the defensive side as if a black avalanche of shadows was approaching them.

(Bullied-SE) “Open the force field! Prepare the cannons! All men to your stations! We will push them back! Everyone has a reason for their actions, we should understand and help them.”

(Soldiers-SE) “YES SIR!”

A blue color half sphere appeared encircling the entire city inside.

Around Id, shadows holding weapons were taking shots at the blue barrier. However each time, the bullet was repelled and deflected the attack right back to the shooter.

Next to Id was a shadow holding a sniper rifle, after it shot, the barrier reflected the bullet right back and the shadow was hit directly in the head.

Instantly, the shadow transformed and turned into a entity of light. In it’s hand, it held a bunch of grenades.

Without hesitation, it pulled the rings for all of them and threw it, without caring that around it were shadows that pointed and shot at it with their firearms.

(Newly Made SE) “FOR GOOD!”

“BOOM!”

(Id) “FUCK! SUPEREGO! You actually managed to make the dark converter? GET DOWN!”

Yelling to his side, Id pointed his Grenade Launcher at the result of the explosion. The ones caught in the blast instantly turned into soldiers of Superego and each held a bunch of grenades in their hands.

The one that started this had been shot down by several shadows and turned into particles of light that floated up into the black night sky.

Pulling the trigger, a massive explosion blasted the place where the transforming soldiers was. Once the smoke cleared the only thing left was particles of light drifting upwards.

(Id) “DON’T SHOOT! I’LL TAKE CARE OF THIS! Justice! Lust! Split the army and strike from the sides! When the field falls, charge in!”

(Justice - I) “All people should suffer this same! I’ll take the left side!”

(Lust - I) “We should just let ourself do whatever we want! Fine! I’ll take the right!”

Two shadows split from the mass and went towards their respective direction. Behind each of them followed a third of the shadow army.

(Friendship - I) “ID! I’ll go and try below! Lend me a portion of your troops! In the end all friendships leads to separation!”

(Id) “GO!”

Pointing his Grenade Launcher at the force field Id fired another shot.

Behind him, a bunch of shadows started using massive hand drills attached to both of their hands that easily dug in the ground. One of them produced a typical bomb, with a ball shaped body and a fuse the size of a bowling ball and threw it into the hole.

“BOOM!”

Both the Grenade and the Bomb blew up at the same time, creating a hole underground and instantly breaking the force field.

(Id) “ATTACK! WE OUTNUMBER THEM AND ARE THE STRONGEST! TAKE OVER THE SUBCONSCIOUS! WE! WILL! WIN!”

Running into the streets, behind Id poured in the other shadows, they swept through the city like a storm. Shooting at all of the defenders who tried to stop them.

(Kindness-SE) “AIM! FIRE! All good comes back to you!”

Massive explosions hit the main center of the shadow army. Causing the ones hit to transform into light entities.

Throwing their grenades into the crowd around them, they were able to cause mass confusion on the battlefield.

(Superego) “Hey! Id! EAT THIS!”

Firing his Rocket Launcher from the roof of a tall building, he was able to actually target Id within the crowd of shadows.

Jumping sideways, Id was able to escape the blast radius of the rocket and pulled his own Grenade Launcher to fire back.

(Hatred-SE) “Hate can be the strength to help! Bazooka squad FIRE!”

Behind Superego, was a unit of light entities wielding bazookas along with one holding on to a remote control.

In sync, all of the bazookas fired at once, lighting up the night sky with their fumes.

The resulting explosion took out a massive number of shadows, transforming them into grenade throwing light entries.

(Id) “SHIT! HEY ARE YOU GUYS DONE?”

Screaming into the phone on his side, Id ran and shot at the building where Superego was standing.

(Friendship-I) “ALL SET! HAVE HIM BLOW THEM UP!”

(Helpfulness-I) “No matter how much you help others, they will never return the favor. TIME TO DIE!”

“KABOOM”

The mini nuke hidden underground, was finally used to blow up half of the city. As long as the subconscious building still stood, then they would be able to easily recover the damages.

(Id) “HEAD TO THE BUILDING! WE WIN IF WE TAKE IT!”

(Superego) “ALL UNITS PROTECT THE SUBCONSCIOUS! WE CAN’T LET THEM TAKE OVER!”

(Lazyness-SE) “SIR! We are being attacked from above! It seems to be Ego’s forces! They have BATTLE HELICOPTERS! All people must have some time to relax else they suffer.”

(Superego) “WHAT! But he...it shouldn’t be possible for him to attack...HE’S ALWAYS BEEN NEUTRAL!”

In the air, a large fleet of grey colored helicopters flew. Machine guns started spraying the entire battle from the bottoms of them.

Gray entities jumped down from the vehicles, holding onto large boxes, they opened their parachute and tossed the boxes down.

In mid air, the boxes opened and thin grey cylinder disks was seen.

The disks suddenly lighted up, and then began to buzz. Flying towards the light entities they cleanly sliced them in half.

The ones cut turned into particles of light and disappeared.

(Id) “HAHAHAHAHA! SUPEREGO! YOU LOSE!”

Firing another Grenade into a group of light entities, Id was laughing at the misfortune of Superego offending both of them.

(Id) “KILL THEM ALL!”

(Soldiers-I) “YES SIR!”

With renewed moral, the shadows turned the tides, firing and taking out almost all of the light entities.

(Superego) “DAMNIT! HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED!”

At his fastest speed, Superego ran to the subconscious building, at the entrance he looked back towards the ocean of shadows nearing it.

(Superego) “NEVER! I MUST STOP Y-!”

Pulling his hand out of Superego’s flickering white chest, Id casually commented.

(Id) “You lose.”

Feeling the emotion of finally winning, Id thought it was all over.

(Ego) “You’re right, you lose.”

From inside the building, Ego shot Id with his shotgun. Making several gaps on Id’s flickering shadow body.

Turning around Id looked at Ego.

(Id) “But...but...I thought we were...ALLIES! You TRAITOR!”

(Ego) “I cannot be a traitor, I am balance. My existence is to balance the good and evil. The light and dark. The chaos and order. You who wished for chaos and evil, and Superego who wished for good and order. Both of you had to go. So I am the executor to fulfill the task. This is goodbye to this world. We shall be once again….be…….recreated.”

As Ego was talking, the entire world cracked, and split. All things on it turned into nothing and disappeared.

The only thing left was the subconscious building that existed within the space of nothing. Then it also disappeared, leaving a cycle of alternating white and black in it’s place.

The two colors seemed to almost be fighting for dominance, as they were moving in a circle.

Then the circle exploded.

Countless personas were fired and spread throughout the space, now a universe.

Some combined and formed entities. This time however they had both white and black within them. So had more of the black, and some had more of the white.

Others grew slowly by themselves, awaiting the day when they too can become entities that can be part of the whole.

Hoping that they too can contribute to the god of their world, their host.

--------------------------------------

Gogglely Will opened his eyes, the morning light welcomed him as he looked around the base.

(How weird...I had some sort of weird dream, but I can’t seem to remember it..oh well…another day! Hopefully we won’t be attacked today either.)

Will then went to check up on the defenses and other things, unknown to him of the massive change he had experienced.

Mentally of course...as well as other things.

Though that's a bridge he’ll cross in the future.
