Run or Fight?

A/N: This is kind of an offensive chapter.

"F-r-e-e M-e," I barked, trying to stop myself from sounding like I had Down Syndrome.

"Gods, shut up!" Zax bellowed. "I'll let you run, but as time works faster where your soul resides, you will slowly become dumber until your brain reverts to that of an average human in the lower realms, and then you will hold— you know what, this might be fun to watch. I wonder what beast you will become?"

Recovering my mobility back from Zax, relief poured down my sweaty back, and my eyes shot towards the North, where I spotted four shadow figures. Looking down at my fingers to count what came after four, I suddenly started laughing at how funny my fingers looked.

"Seems like your ability to count is the first to go. Five comes next," Zax kindly said, chuckling for some strange reason. Why was he so nice now?

He must be scheming against me!

"Hey, Arsene, why don't you head towards the west." He directed, "that's the direction you see where the smoke is coming out of."

"But the bad men—-"

"HAHA, this shit is funny! It's fine, your a forsaken; you can take'em, I promise." Zax swore to me, and I crossed my arms.

"But Arsene must escape, right?"

"It's been a few thousand years in the ring of bael, so the effects on you are sped up, but I didn't think it would work so fast." he said softly, "But Arsene, your wife, Lilith is down there!" He said, as my eyes shimmered as I stared.

"She's in the north?"

"Don't know if that's your retardism regarding directions or the fault of the Soul Trial. But that's west, and Lilith is there. Can't you see her!"

Blinking hard, I stared, poring my tarnishing qi into my eyes to see past the smoke, but I couldn't see anything.

"Dummy smoke! Bad smoke! Arsene smash! SMASH the smoke!"

"AHAHAA~"

"Uncle Zax, why are you laughing!"

"AHAHAHAAHA, you're never going to live this down!"

"Hmmm," Dashing towards the smoke, several men suddenly appeared like a ghost in front of me.

"Halt. You are not allowed to go there, Mr. Snow. We would ask you to follow us." A tall ugly man said, making my insides shake.

I pointed with glistering eyes.

"Rat man! You're rat-man, right?! Do you have the powers of a rat?"

"He does. And he's trying to eat Lilith, your wife!" Zax shouted, and anger flared to life, creeping out from the depths of my chest; I summoned my Big Spear!

"Mr. Snow, what you—"

Dipping my spear into my shadow, blood painted the ground as, from the shadow of rat-man, I watched the big dummy eyes explode from out of his socket, falling out of his head, as my spear stretched from out of his shadow into his brain, I felt something in me awaken.

It felt good, really good! Really-really Good! Unsure what this was, I looked down at my pants at the large tent, bulging hard?

"What's happening?"

"Pssst! I know the Order is recording this."

Blinking at the bulge, I looked up at the blade, about to reach my neck. Fear exploded in me as I almost screamed, but the moment the sword touched me, it turned into dust.

"Huh? Are you playing with Arsene? Die, Big dummy!" I shouted, sending a palm forward that struck the big dummy in the chest, turning his body into a fountain of blood.

"Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day," I cheerfully sang, bubbling in laughter, as I danced in the red rain.

"God, I hate the Forsaken," Uncle Zax stated. "Even retarded, you guys have one of the best hacks ever."

"Take him down!" The others shouted, but as I danced in the rain, the rain slowly began to grow larger till a puddle formed.

"Arsene is going to go for a swim."

"It's too tiny, Lil Arsene. Why don't you make a bigger pool? One you can swim for kilometers? There are a few million people here. I'm sure Lilith will like it."

"Really!"

My heart began to pick up as I glanced at my spear. Hearing the big baddy howls of Sitri and Yesh, I laughed and nodded, "K."

"GIVE ME YOUR STRENGTH, DUMMIES!"

Scarlet thunder crackled and flashed, blaring, shaking the fortress; While my big spear burned with a scarlet, black flame, wings black as night, deep as the abyss sprung from my back as I hovered off the ground.

The divinity of the big bad bullies Sitri and Yesh surged out of my spear. And from the darkness, a crown slipped onto my head.

Lighting crackled like nuclear bombs shattering speed barriers, causing quakes to crack beneath my feet.

"ARSENE SMASH!!!!!!"

Rushing up towards the star ships, I pierced through with ease, where hundreds of people resided and ran through their bodies, turning them into water.

"Hey, uncle, did you know the body is mostly water!?" I shouted, tapping anyone I found on the head, turning them into water.

Going from one starship to the next, I collected all the red water till no more ships were in the skies, and the land below was but a blaze of smoke due to the starships that had crashed.

Heat blazed, a burning red, but behind me stood a large bubble of red water I collected. I lifted my hand and pointed, 'Let's make it rain!"

"Good, my child, join the dark side, but there is so much more water hidden in the streets painted red with blood and black with smoke. Go below and kill, rampage to your heart's content. Let me see what you are capable of; show me the power of a primal Forsaken Shadowfell."

Listening to the heavy rain of red hitting against the ground and the sweet screams, I opened my eyes and blinked at the world of blood and ash.

My heart was hammering like crazy, and I wanted more. No, I needed more. I licked my lips, tasting the blood, and suddenly the pleasure of heaven seemed to race through my pores, and from my back, the tarnished path of abyssal night qi awoke, burning with a profundity. I dived down to the with my big spear, crashing into the ground.

"BOOOOM!!!!!"
