3 Final Bye

Eternal darkness enveloped till the distance eyes could see. There was no sky, nor there was any ground, the horizon also got lost in the eternal darkness. There was one man who was lying at its origin.

He opened his eyes, stared at the front and jumped back on his feet. He started walking to the ever moving destination. Nobody was there to see how long he walked, but he stopped. He looked up. The sky spread out from the spot where he was standing. He looked down. The darkness ceased to exist. The lush green valley was under his feet. Ice peak mountains have decorated the horizon.

He looked up, confused, he ran. A statue appeared where he stopped. His eyes were full of love as he caressed it. Cracks appeared on the surface as a maiden came out of it. He took her into the embrace, unwilling to let her go.

"Why are you crying, idiot?"

"Why did you left me?" It was Rex, holding on to the woman with his life.

"Come on, I am not running away." Rex released her and took a look. The faceless head turned into Mayuri. He kissed her without hesitation.

"What are you going to do now?"

"I am going to go with you." Rex Didn't have a single shard of hesitation in his voice.

"What about Aria?"

Rex looked at little distance away. A small stature formed and turned into Aria, behind her was uncle and aunt.

"Brother." She cried for help. Those freaks charged towards them. The elders already fall under their claw without any resistance. The big boy, the old man and the director were the one was assaulting her.

"Brother save me." She was crying looking at Rex. He took the first step but stopped. He looked at Mayuri. She was smiling at him.

"Save her."

"But what about you?"

"What about me?" Rex stood there heartbroken. Mayuri was smiling at him but tears were falling from her eyes without stopping. "I am ok." Her words and expressions didn't match.

"Go." She shouted at one, "Please don't." Pleaded at the next. Her face was changing with each word.

Her right eyes started to bleed, her right hand was extended towards him with long nails. The left was calm and was still beautiful. It didn't stop smiling for a single second.

"Brother please…" Aria's shout cut short with another assault.

"I love you. I always loved you. I won't able to live without you. That is why I died before you."

"What about me?" His tears were flowing too.

"What about them? You were my everything but you have them. You have to live for them."

Rex took a step forward, "But what about you?"

"I will always be here." Her left hand pointed at his heart. The stone right hand moved and grabbed his throat. The right spoke again, "Don't go, come with me. I won't be able to live without you."

Those were the words he wanted to hear but he also knew that there was no way the real Mayuri would say it loud.

Rex closed in and kissed her again. When he released Mayuri had turned stone again with a teardrop under her left eye. Rex sucked in a big breath and moved towards Aria. The whole world engulfed by white light.

***************

"How that can even be possible? An Omega!? An omega has appeared on the very first day. I have to inform…" He was murmuring when the pillar of light broke what appeared out of came an angle, with six pairs of wings, hovering in the middle of the air, bathing in the pure white. Even the sun that just appeared behind, was paled in comparison.

"LET THERE BE LIGHT." It moved its sceptre. Light flowed from it as it was the bright sun.

Blue sphere appeared around the twenty present.

It wasn't effective. Blue mana started to ooze of the blue spheres. Cracks appeared on them. One popped. The one inside looked on disbelief as he was disintegrated in dust in a blink.

Then the second one, then next. Seven more popped before astonishing things took place. The cracks started to recover. But that was not enough as one more popped under the intense light. But the recovery became faster. No matter how much it shined, it couldn't pop any more.

Before long the light started to dim and soon faded into the sunshine. But the blue sphere started to glow brighter and brighter.

*Crack*

A crack appeared on the orb. The blue sphere and the bright light disappeared at the same time. The orb turned into dust leaving behind the burn mark on the director's hand.

"An Omega is an Omega after all. Alas, you were just awakened." The director took out another blue orb from the robe. It was smaller than the last one, "Now what you are going to do?"

The angel came down to the earth. The wings hid behind her back. The faceless face of the Angel started to reveal the face of Aria underneath it. She was tired. She went on her knees. Her eyes were showing longing as she looked at the crystal statue.

"If the body is contaminated by an excess amount of Magiton then it is impossible to survive." The director knocked at the crystal solid body of Rex, "Your brother is dead now. That doesn't mean you have to die too." The director extended his hand to her. "Come with me. You will live your life in riches."

Aria eyes were full of hatred. "I won't."

"Are you sure?" The director touched the orb with both hands. It started to give off a blue hue.

"I will never join you."

The Director shook his head, "I really want you to be on my side. But if you don't want that then there is nothing much I could do about it. You have to…"

*Boom*

Stong vibration shook the blue sphere around the director. The director strumbled and fall on his knee. Before he could look around, Aria shouted, "Brother."

'How can it be?' the director looked in shock. 'They said it will take at least a month before an Omega will appear. Here is one right in front of him, They said it impossible a contaminated being to survive and…'

*Boom*

He wanted to report his discovery to the higher order and gain some rewards but Rex wasn't willing to give him the time.

"Even if you survive the contamination there is no way you will survive the mana barrage." The orb glowed at his highest. Along with that, the remaining 12 attacked at him at the same time. Numerous arrows appeared above the director and rained towards Rex. Rex was no the move. With wind's direction, he was able to escape most of the arrows. Those arrows or the weapon attacks which fall on him had little effect on his crystal skin.

On the other hand, Rex didn't just attack the director rather started to take out the other twelve. His strength was same, didn't increased but the lack was done in by his crystal knuckle. Those who were stupid enough to aim for Aria went down faster.

Even those blue sticky stuff had little effect on him. The last four ran away in fear. The director wasn't one of them. His orb was still bright, so was the blue sphere around him.

No matter how much Rex pounded on it, all of it was without any result.

"No matter how much you try you can't overcome a mana barrier. It is not like those Magion barriers that yo… What are you doing?" The director was shocked.

Rex wasn't punching it any more. He just extended his hand and grabbed the blue sphere. It broke down like a castle of glass as soon as it came into the contact of his hand.

"What are you? Are you a ingester?" Even if he asked that he knew very well that was impossible. The director looked in fear. Others might not understand what was happening, but it was clear in his eyes. The man in front of him is actually absorbing mana. It might not be too pure but the absorption should have been impossible.

The director turned to run. Rex hand different idea, he kicked the ground. The concrete distorted under his feet. Part of it started to come out. The director stumbled and fall.

"You want to kill my sister. Do you think I will let you go." Rex punched. There wasn't a single shard of hesitation when he punched through the director's head. 'No mercy' that is his motto for each and everyone who tries to harm his family. 'The world had changed so I will too.'

The director greeted the recurved the punch with a smiling face. Just as his crystal hand smashed his head huge amount of mana exploded out of the body. A huge blue tower shot to the sky enveloping Rex in it.

"Brother." Only Aria's cry remained in the first morning of the new world.
