never go back

miss lumine pov....

"how dare you! our queen is the most amazing person in this entire planetary system!"(lumine)

"do you people drink propaganda for breakfast or what, no one likes their leaders that much."(boy)

"impossible, how could they not?!"(lumine)

"cause they're disconnected and privileged morons dumber than the monkeys I genocided."(boy)

"genocide?"(lumine, hyllia, winged dude) in somewhat unison.

"oh yeah, the entire race is gone."(boy)

I must intervene, this boy must change!

I used my authority on full power, the energy building before going towards him, harmlessly entering him before his own energy consumed it aggressively.

"not....possible...."(lumine)

"the queens authority couldn't even drain him."(hyllia)

dozens of gasps echoed in the classroom, I should've made this conversation more private!

the students all had a fearful look, turning to what they were staring at I saw the boy, his energy moving about his body strangely as a field of it formed around his body.

"energy development is a serious crime!"(lumine) I shouted at him.

"your laws don't apply to me."(boy) stated, matter of factly.

he continued as the students just stared, it took him minutes before he stopped, he moved his body around a bit before his clothes shifted.

tattered remains of casual clothes melted off as a layer of blood covered him and formed t-shirt and shorts, he remained barefoot.

"miss he's using abilities in class!"(student)

he sent a death glare to the student, they ducked back from fear and took cover underneath their desk.

"do not threaten my students!"(lumine)

his head turned to me.

"I'll show you threaten."(boy)

I shook my head side to side as I hoped the boy would leave my students alone.

"tell your queen to lower the barrier and let me go home or I start killing kids."(boy) said to me.

"you have one hour."(boy)

his shirt disappeared into a blood puddle and on his now shirtless body large bat wings of shiny dark red emerged, with one flap he was through the roof and into the sky, leaving all of us with what he'd said.

these sheep live off propaganda like it's their lifeline, I've never seen that before, sure propaganda works but it doesn't work THAT well.

not one person questioned or negatively said anything about the queen, not one, even in a dictatorship back on earth with strong propaganda someone will always criticize, however quietly it still happens.

but here, I don't even think questioning their lesder has ever occurred.

but it didn't matter, In an hour my energy would finish consuming the binding amd I'd be free, free to fulfill that promise I made that teacher, let me free or I kill them.

I didn't feel amazing about it, but I refuse to be trapped anywhere I don't want to be, suffering through thousands of years I'd earned that much.

my thoughts were halted in place by the winged people meeting me in the sky, their queen in front, a large mob of at least a few hundred behind her.

"submit creature!"(queen)

a wave of silver energy rocked through the air, harmlessly entering my body before it was consumed happily by my red energy.

now the mob behind her did the same thing, several hundred smaller waves of silver energy entering my body, they too were gratefully consumed by my energy, no effects left behind.

[original and new binding consumed]

that's what I was waiting for.

I singled out the girl Hyllia, sending a devastating blood bomb her way faster than I knew she was, it impacted and exploded, half of her entire face and body now gone as the remains fell lifeless from the sky.

"that's the only warning, let me out of here!"(syn)

this time it was my turn to send out a wave of energy, the queens eyes taking a faint red hue before she nodded in agreement.

[authority unlocked, stage 1/5]

[skill:evolving primal martial arts, stage 2/6]

with my new notifications now put of the way I resumed watching as the queen lowered the barrier, the second there was even hole I shot through like a bullet from a gun, speeding towards what I guess was home at this point.

the journey was as short as the first time, the familiar planet entering my view before I entered its atmosphere, landing almost exactly where I left, a few feet off.

Raya and the glacier dragon standing nearby, how the-?!

"its been a while."(unanimous voice)

both girls had glowing eyes as their mouths moved in unison.

"you seem to have killed one of my own, come meet my vessel and I will deliver justice."(unanimous voice)

both girls eyes returned to their respective normal colors as they looked about confused.

"Syn!"(Raya)

"been a minute."(syn)

"two days give or take."(Raya)

the glacier dragon only stayed close, not really speaking, what's her deal?

Raya noticed my glance and simply just waved me off, telling me not to worry about it.

both girls began leading me to somewhere, honestly If it was far from here I'd be all for it.

"where were you? you came from the sky."(Raya)

"some winged girl kidnapped me, she's dead and I'm back."(syn)

she gave me a strange look while the dragon girl just inched closer.

"you say that so casually, it's almost creepy!"(Raya) shuddered.

our walk had become leisure at best, a comfortable silence permeating the air around the three of us.

but like usual it didn't last, an odd rumbling of the ground and a massive scatter of wildlife, my senses were screaming at me as I pushed both the dragon girl and Raya to the sides, one to the right and one to the left, I myself jumping back far as a massive trench opened beneath where we had just stood.

the unanimous voice returning as I stood in a defensive stance.

"you found my vessel, perfect, time for justice!"(unanimous voice)
