No Different

Ryu slowly opened his eyes, looking high into the skies. He couldn't remember having ever gone through a true Tribulation in his lifetime and honestly… This would really be no different.

Streaks of flames descended from the skies. Ryu's body only flickered once and the flames swam over him, being absorbed in one part, and dismissed in another.

He reached out with a hand, causing the dismissed flames to form a long whip that lashed out at the air, shattering the falling meteors of earth apart.

With a squeeze, the whip cracked into pieces of falling rain, drizzling down from the skies in a fluttering descent.

The pieces of the meteors collapsed, crashing down.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The land beneath was devastated, crater after crater ripping it up. It was a harrowing sight, one that told the tale of the power of the Heavens… and yet it highlighted the strength of the young man that stood in the middle of it all, all the more.
