“Ladies, gentlemen and everyone in between,

I welcome you all to this glorious day” smiles a man whose teeth is white they could light their only solar system

*Flash*

*Flash*

Cameras rapidly capture the man’s every subtle movement

He rubs his thick, well trimmed beard that covers his perfect jaw, a jaw in fact so chiseled, so refined, that you could probably mine diamonds with it…

“Please, thank you all,

Thank you all for coming on this glorious day!

As you all recall, you know I love to show off!”

The man breathes in the atmosphere from his perfect well shaped well-rounded nose,

A nose so perfect that he could probably smell across acres of land and blow out tornadoes of wind from it

“Let this day go down in history this accomplishment does not help me, but all of us,

You wonderful people!” man continues glancing around his feet with his eyes as blue as stars eyes so enchanting that they could woo women and men alike if they looked at you too long,

This is the man everyone looks up to on Terra, the one at the top of all humans,

Their supreme leader….

“Look at this everyone” the supreme leader grabs up Himari’s severed head lifting it up to the crowd

“This right here is the head of someone who I was quite found of, a well dignified and devoted woman,

Though her convictions showed me that she was worthy to be apart of this era,

Her death to us is more important…

Now tell me,

Are you people with the new era?”

“YEAHHHH!” the crowd roars back at him

“And now let me show you all the bringer of this era, the reason for my lovely friend Himari’s passing,

The mythical corpse of the dead Gods,

Amadeus!”

…….

(What are all these lights?

Himari’s dead?

Ughh I’m so tired…

I don’t understand what’s happening right now,

Am I still dreaming?)

“Amadeus also calls itself Kage,

So, feel free to address her how you like,

Now come on Kage introduce yourself”

“What the fuck is this?” I slur out automatically unable to grasp what’s going on

“A little disoriented, are you?

I will introduce myself to you officially,

My name is Xezus Punk First, the supreme leader of the former ring known as Terra,

But thanks to your help, Terra is no more, neither is Tellus and Gaia,

We have successfully destroyed the event horizons separating each rings now they have all joined together forming what I shall name, New Earth.”

“YEAAAAAHHHHHH!” the crowd cheers at the announcement

“Wha…..ttt” I blink repeatedly wiping my watering eyes from the bright flashing lights

(This is not real–This is not real–This is not real–This is not real–This is not real

This is an illusion–This is an illusion–This is an illusion–This is an illusion)

“What happened to XPunk?

Why is Himari dead

Why did you call me a corpse?

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

Why….”

“Easy there boy, you may need time to digest all of this,

Like I told you before Kage, I will keep you from now on,

You are safe with me,

I will even spare your last living friend the angel human hybrid, I’ll leave him alive, as long as he promises to be peaceful on new earth,

Or actually maybe I should also get him to kill that forest avatar for me…

A being that powerful could upset the new balance I am trying to establish,” Xezus thinks to himself

(I’m going to close my eyes,

When I reopen them

I’m going to be back in Furlheim City, in the institute,

Karina will probably be right next to,

She’s going to ask me what happened

I’ll tell her I had a long dream, a long nightmare

She will laugh it off and say I’m weird after telling her,

Later she will mention it to Lyra and Apollo,

I will get embarrassed and tell her to shut up,

Pinoki will suddenly appear with the twins and make a comment on it,

Everyone will chuckle at it

We’ll go on adventures later and…..)

My eyes open

*Flash* the cameras still bustle actively lashing me with their lights

Xezus has his arm around my shoulder, I don’t even know when he put it there,

(It’s not a dream)

“Excuse….

Mr. Supreme leader” I mumble immediately capturing his attention from the crowd

I’m already starting to see images of Himari’s memories flashing with the lights they imprint themselves onto my consciousness

“You know, Himari and were never the closet of companions, I always found her interesting though…

But there’s something about unexpected death,

That pisses me off

It upsets my status quo,

It upsets my balance of things” I pull away from the hulking man but instantly stumble around wobbly and light headed

“And for that I want to, No I will kill you"

“Be careful there Kage, you’re still not one hundred percent yet,

I think it’s best you stay by side in case something bad happens to you” Xezus smiles at me cordially though I can hear the passive aggressiveness in his tone

“Come Kage, pose for the cameras, this is a monumental day,

Can somebody get this woman’s body incinerated!?

It does leave an awful sight,

Alexander!?”

“Yes, supreme one?” The Android–or the perfect human Alexander teleports in front of us

“Its been some time since we last spoke Kage, my condolences for your friend Lyra,

And I suppose this woman as well,

I shall remove the body at once, supreme one”

“No,

Leave it” I breathe

“Don’t touch it,”

*Flash* *Flash*

“Will you stop with the pictures!?

Leave my–Himari’s body alone,

I know what you will do with it”

(Aghh what the fuck is happening!? Everything is so confusing!)

“Kage, if you are feeling confused and overwhelmed right now,

It is because you are” Mr. First puts his arms back around, an arm so thick it could bend titanium steel just with a slight hug,

“It is alright now, you can stop thinking now,

There is no need,

You don’t have to pretend to be human anymore,

All you have to do now is remain quite and with me forever,

Let me use you,

You hear that everyone!” Xezus turns back to the crowd

“Kage, will never go away from us again!

She will be the flag, of this new earth!”

“YAHHHHHHH!

NEW EARTH!

NEW EARTH!

NEW EARTH!”

…...

“…I.

I….

…..??”
