Corrupted Radiatons

by Michael Rogers

  Zazark: "I vote Tara."

  Tara: "Tyson?"

  Tyson: ".. I'm currently indecisive."

  Tara: "Only one?"

  Blake: "There, you happy, bitch?"

  Tara: "Grrr."

  --

  Tara: "Well?"

  Tyson: "Yes. I remember."

  Tara: "Now. What is your vote?"

  Tyson: "Zazark.." *He formed a fist, causing the leather to stretch around his gloves.* "His ability to trace a Rostical, and each of our powers reaches the second class captain. How-?"

  Tara: "It doesn't matter how! He's dead!"

  Tyson: "..."

  Tara: *She sighed.* "Tyson.."

  Tyson: "Was it that guild?"

  Tara: *She smirked, as if she was impressed Tyson guessed it.* "The one and only."

  Tyson: "I will investigate what has happened-"

  Tara: "No."

  Tyson: "Hmm?"

  Tara: "Their confrontation with Zazark has left them wounded."

  Tyson: "I see." *He looked down with a growing smile.*

  Tara: "Wouldn't it be fantastic to kill them? For Zazark's revenge?"

  Tyson: "They're weakened?" *He turned around and took a step forward.*

  Tara: *She looked confused, staring at Tyson's back.* "What are you-?"

  Tyson: "My vote has been revoked."

  Tara: "Hah?"

  Tyson: "Blake is not fit for leader if one of us has died under his order. I now vote you for leader."

  Tara: (Me?) *Her lips twitched, as it slowly formed a widening grin.* "Fufufufufufufu."

  Tyson: "Inform Blake of my decision, once I come back with their heads."

  Tara: "Fufufufu-, of course." *Her laugh merged with her response.*

  Tyson: "Where is their location? All these Spacial Funnels make it hard to track someone's Neuron signature-"

  Tara: "Four Spacial Funnels, North East."

  Tyson: "Thank you." *He suddenly flashstepped and the trees and ferns moved in a path-like manner.*

  Tara: "Fufufu." *She chuckled once again, listening to the faint buzzing sound fade out into distance.*

  ----------

  *Gabriel slowly walked through the forest, as different streaks of coloured blood dripped off his body.*

  Gabriel: "So many Scoldrants, but I'm left, unsatisfied."

  *Several bear-like Scoldrants jumped out from a blind corner, slashing their red, aura-like claws.*

  Scoldrants: "Red-cline Cleave." *They slashed downwards and red scratch-like streaks pierced towards Gabriel.*

  Gabriel: "Wondrous Azure Bursts..." *He swayed to the side and brown leaves blew past in a gust of wind, slicing through the Scoldrants.* "BRISTLING SHOCKWAVE"

  Scoldrants: "Gnnnnrgh-" *All their legs sliced off, causing them to slide forward with their chins dragging through the ground.*

  Gabriel: *He looked down, staring at the Scoldrants.* "Grovelling at my feet?"

  Scoldrant: *The largest Scoldrant leant up by using its arms.* "Ice Fang-"

  Gabriel: *He glared at the Scoldrant, causing its widening eyes to glow an eerie yellow colour.* "Perfect."

  Scoldrant: *It suddenly glanced at its dying comrade.* "Ice Fang." *It opened its eyes and its two front fangs extended, suddenly extending two fluoro beams into the other Scoldrant.*

  Gabriel: *He watched the other Scoldrant roar in pain, as ice cracked from a large bite mark on its neck.* "Excellent-"

  *All the Scoldrants suddenly burst into tiny white orbs, causing Gabriel to drool in excitement.*

  Gabriel: "So... What am I going to do?"

  *Images of Ridley flashed into his head, causing him to shake his head.*

  Gabriel: "Despite retaining my intelligence... I really don't give a shit about our dream." *He chuckled with his computerised voice, causing it to sound fake and odd.*

  *Gabriel bent forward and flashstepped, blasting a trail-like eruption of vegetation.*

  Gabriel: *Things moved past him at blinding speeds, making whoosh-like sounds, as if he was in a car.* (It's strange.. Having knowledge that I'm corrupted, yet, not seeming to care?)

  *Gabriel suddenly appeared in the air, noticing a complete change of scenery.*

  Gabriel: (Spacial Funnels?) *He chuckled in thought and spiralled in the air, as if he could fly.*

  *Dinosaur-like Scoldrants roared from the ground, staring at Gabriel with their eerie yellow coloured eyes.*

  Gabriel: "If I no longer care about peace, what should I do? Eventually, my hunger will satisfy itself-"

  *Gabriel landed on a rocky cliff and looked down, noticing a large waterfall crash into a long river.*

  Gabriel: "But until then..." *He licked his teeth and dribbled, as a bright green glyph drew itself underneath him.*

  *The dinosaur-like Scoldrants started to attack each other, catching Gabriel's attention.*

  Gabriel: "Unlike you pitiful, lowly creatures, I can control the Radiatons, ha ha."

  *Gabriel raised his black scaly arms into the air and looked up, as brown leave spiralled around him.*

  Gabriel: "Swirling gusts of the Northern winds-" *He suddenly spread his arms, causing the brown leaves to spiral across the rocky cliff.*

  *Several dinosaur-like Scoldrants suddenly stopped their movements, watching the leaves sway past them.*

  Gabriel: *He watched the dinosaur-like Scoldrants slice into different sized chunks.* "BRISTLING SHOCKWAVE" *He hugged himself and felt his scaly body with pleasure, as if he was enjoying the death of the Scoldrants.*

  *Gabriel closed his eyes and exhaled slowly, listening to tiny white orbs float high into the air.*

  Gabriel: *He opened his eyes and scanned the lifeless landscape in a satisfied-like manner.* "And now, I'm satisfied."

  *Gabriel bent his knees and flashstepped out of the area, exploding the rocky terrain underneath him.*

  Gabriel: *He watched a blurred landscape suddenly change colours, as if he entered through another Spacial Funnel.* (Now that I'm satisfied, it's time to go into civilisation and see what I've missed out on from all my years of sleeping.)

  ----------

  *Klaus suddenly appeared in a swirl of aurora colours, lighting up a pitch black cave.*

  Klaus: *He scanned the cave, noticing faint markings on the ground.* "Glyphs? As a Susanoo, I can recognise these instantly."

  *Klaus bent down and touched the markings on the ground, looking at ash-like dirt on his fingers.*

  Klaus: "Very powerful glyphs were once here-" *The cave started to darken, as the aurora started to fade.* "FLAMING WHEEL"

  *Klaus clicked his fingers, causing a small swirl of flames to spiral along the cave walls, effectively lighting it up.*

  Klaus: "This is where I felt it.. That feeling-" *He placed his right hand on his chest and his left on his forehead.* "Having the Aurorions, I know the feeling of the two-"

  *A pulse of white light flickered around Klaus' right hand and a pulse of shadow-like smoke swirled around his left hand.*

  Klaus: *He lowered his hands and cupped them, causing a pulse of Aurorions to fall between his fingers.* "This is an abnormal energy signature, but it was Radiatons."

  *Klaus leant up and further inspected the cave, as if he was trying to see what was kept inside of it.*

  Klaus: "Infected or corrupted Radiatons stole my family.. I will destroy whatever it was before using the Aurorions to-"

  ?????: "Niklauseh!" *A woman's scream echoed loudly inside the cave.*

  Klaus: *He frowned at the wall, causing the flames to grow brighter.* "Sister... What a surprise."

  Ginger: "What are you doing?!"

  Klaus: "Trying to bring back my loved ones."

  Ginger: "You can't bring them back, it's not possible, ey Niklauseh. Just stop this foolish, illogical talk! Regardless, revenge is petty, it won't accomplish-"

  Klaus: "You're starting to sound like a broken record, Ginger. Perhaps you should keep your mouth shut?" *He stepped to the side and faced Ginger with an emotionless face.*
/>   Ginger: ".. I-"

  Klaus: "I am very close to getting my revenge. Asuna and Sasuke were pure hearted people, they didn't deserve to die!"

  Ginger: "Asuna passed away from a rare Astragon disorder-"

  Klaus: "HOLY LANCE" *A white glyph suddenly expanded underneath Ginger.*

  Ginger: *She gasped, looking down in shock.* "Ey-!?"

  Klaus: *He watched white strings shoot out of the glyph, wrapping themselves around Ginger's arms and legs.* "Enough from you, sister-"

  Ginger: *She frowned and tried to pull her arm up, causing the strings of light to burn her skin.* (It hurts! Are these fire-based strings? Or has he somehow separated the Radiatons from the Aurorions allowing him to use Radiaton based Remenistal?!)

  Klaus: "With a sway of my hand, the final strike of this particular Remenistal will come screaming down, ending this conversation for me."

  Ginger: "You wouldn't-"

  Klaus: "Yoeshh." *He nodded his head, implying he would.*

  Ginger: "Well then-" *She struggled but managed to hold onto her glyphic covered arm.* "By your logic, we should-"

  Klaus: *He flicked his wrist downwards, causing a spear made of light to plummet through the cave's roof and into the ground directly in front of Ginger.* "Ey?"

  Ginger: *She intensely stared at the spear, as its light brightly lit up her face.* "Brother-" (You are serious.)

  *Rocks fell from the hole in the ceiling, allowing a small beam of sunlight to glare into the cave.*

  Klaus: "I can bring them back, Ginger-"

  Ginger: "Stop saying that!" *She screamed in frustration.* "There are ways to bring forth an Astragon Projection, but it's completely illogical and impossible to bring back someone after death."

  Klaus: "How out of character of you, sister-"

  Ginger: "If the user dies without harnessing the necessary amounts of Neurons or Astragons, their body will rot into the ground! If they have harnessed enough Neurons or Astragons, their body will disburse into pure Roharnia and float into The Astral Plain! It's impossible to bring either one back!"

  Klaus: "There's truth in what you say-"

  Ginger: *She grunted, trying to free herself from the light-made ribbons.* "Then stop this illogical foolishness and-"

  Klaus: "But you're wrong."

  Ginger: "Ey? Wrong? Me? Please respond!"

  Klaus: "You're underestimating the power of the Aurorions."

  Ginger: "I'm also a Susanoo, I know the limitations of this world."

  Klaus: "Ey? Is that so?" *He looked up and smirked, causing a swirl of aurora to sway around him.*

  *The aurora pulsed across the ground, blowing Ginger's hair back and nearby debris.*

  Ginger: "H-Huh?" *She stepped back, as the white glyph and ribbons of light disintegrated into nothing, freeing her.* "What was that, brother?"

  Klaus: "Watch." *He smirked and watched the debris on the ground shake, causing Ginger to look confused.*

  Ginger: *She placed her hand on her glyphic arm and stood in a battle-ready pose.* "It was foolish to release me from your Radiaton based Remen-.. Is.. Tal?" *She paused with an awkward stutter, as the debris floated back up to the ceiling, filling up the hole his Holy Lance created.* "How..?"

  Klaus: "I have discovered the real power of the Aurorions."

  Ginger: "It manipulates ground?" *She took several steps forward, observing the restored ceiling.*

  Klaus: "No."

  Ginger: "This isn't anything special, ey brother. Any person with the ground affinity could do such a thing-"

  Klaus: "The end result is the same, but the methods are completely different."

  Ginger: "Ey?" *She jumped back and stood in a battle-ready position, readying herself to fight.*

  Klaus: "Aurorions are the planet's energy source-"

  Ginger: "And it's dying brother.. It's dying.. All for revenge."

  Klaus: "No-" *He shook his head.* "The power of Aurorions, it is essentially the strongest power in its pure form."

  Ginger: "Why are you lecturing me of all people?!" *She stepped to the side and placed her hand on her arm, sliding her fingers across.* "SPIRAL FLAMES"

  Klaus: "Aurorion Buster." *He swayed to the side and a room-sized waft of aurora, blew Ginger to one side, extinguishing the glimpse of red flames before they even took shape.*

  Ginger: *She leant slightly to the side, as if she was shocked with what happened.* "How?"

  Klaus: "Check your arm."

  Ginger: "Why-?" *She paused with widening eyes, staring at a red glyph on her arm.* (The glyph? I used it, but it's still on my arm!) "How-?"

  Klaus: "You know what I know, that's exactly why I'm telling you.. What I learnt on my own accord."

  Ginger: "Ey? What are you saying, Niklauseh?"

  Klaus: "The Aurorions have the power to turn back time."

  Ginger: "..." *She paused on the spot with a dropping jaw and widening eyes, as if she didn't understand what Klaus said.*

  Klaus: "Between us, we know there are consequences for all life altering abilities, be it Remenistal, Ougis, Azure Bursts, or even the lost Remenistals.. But-"

  *Strings of aurora burst out of the ground and swirled around the room, causing the flames along the walls to burn black and white.*

  Ginger: *She twitched in shock, as she glanced to each side at the dancing white and black flames.* (Niklauseh, how far has he surpassed our father-?)

  Klaus: "The Aurorions, I can turn back time."

  Ginger: "Despite what you're telling me, it's impossible to turn back time. You cannot simply make the world spin the other way, or using an ability on the entire world to turn back time, every individual person needs to accept the ability for it to work on them. It's not possible."

  Klaus: "Turning the whole world back or forth in time is impossible, yes. That's simple logic."

  Ginger: "So-?"

  Klaus: "But, manipulating the time on singular objects is quite plausible." *He smirked to himself and twirled his finger, causing a streak of aurora to swirl around it.* "Neurons manipulate energy. Astragons manipulate space. Radiatons manipulate light and-"

  Ginger: "Shadiatons manipulate darkness, I understand this, brother-"

  Klaus: "Aurorions manipulate time." *His smile widened.*
