The battle between Light and Darkness

It was two months ago, right before the beginning of the World Termination of Protagonists, Professor Cthulhu arranges all the recent reports about strange abilities of children despite having the SK Virus troubling their variation based on age. Now that was settled, he sees a list of SK workers listed at the pile of papers, he somehow needs to memorize all the important details for the greater good of the organization.

Afterwards, Dr. Wicked enters the room, seeing a mountain of papers about all the people around the City Alamus. 94% of them are registered citizens and 5% of them are unregistered. It is troublesome for some people like him working on a trivial society as if calculated, most of them work for the yellow candy drug that kept them reminded of the humanity's past, on how they were normal humans before. But they work like slaves of the organization, like all adults have forgotten the meaning of their lives. 78% of them are children and 16% of them are adults, it seems that most people just suffered from the SK Virus, but rarely some of them come to fruition of abilities, a gift from their gods.

"Professor Cthulhu, your break is now in session. What would you like as a brief lunch break?"

"Let's see, we should visit outside for some fresh air."

While walking away from a stockpile of work, they had to take a break in order to work efficiently later as focusing on schedule is better than overtime or shorter periods of work. As they leave the room, one paper for Mary Witch falls from the desk, seeing the detailed information about her.

Mary Witch

Age: 19

Valid ID: 096624897

Ability: Has the capacity to control her bones widely

Date of Registration: April 7, 2043

Status of Work: SK Specimen Worker

Backstory: In Kyoto Japan, she was born by average parents. But at the age of 12, her ability occurred at an unanticipated rate destroying the whole hospital in the process. The casualties are high and so we need to keep a low profile while investigating.

As they aimlessly walk around the city, they discovered some of the infamous stores that have been here for at least 21 years. They took a peek and ate there. Then, they go to the 5th district to observe how the society works for the defects. At first, they stay dormant from their own suffering. With their sharp gazes of disgust and envy on the people with better lives, they loathe everything they stand against.

Then one little kid shows and tightly strains Professor Cthulhu, constricting his right knee. It appears to be a child in desperate need of help. Both Professor Cthulhu and Dr. Wicked look at each other as if they don't know how to handle this kind of predicament.

"What's wrong kid?" Professor Cthulhu asks the little kid.

"Please... Help my little sister. She is only 4 years old and she is in need of help."

"I think we should call Gorr about this." Dr. Wicked suggests to Professor Cthulhu.

"Alright we should do that." Professor Cthulhu calls King Gorr about the lost condition of his sister. And so not long while, Gorr arrives at a short amount of time.

"So you were here. What seems to be the problem?"

"This child is in need of help. It seems you weren't doing your job right."

"Well I was busy from managing all the needs and budgets of helping each children around the city but it seems he doesn't know where to look help. Which is why he latches onto you, right?"

"You might be right. Hey kid, how old are you?"

"I'm 11 years old."

"Then next week, you have to enroll in the SK Academy. You will be appraised of your worth. You'll be escorted by Gorr himself. If you somehow failed like those rejects, you might have some worth based on your will to do so."

"Ummm, are you really sure to pay attention to the little concerns..."

"I'LL DO IT!" The little kid yells with enthusiasm.

"That's more like it. I'll take the kid then to prepare for the requirements. Bye, Professor Cthulhu and Dr. Wicked!" Gorr leaves the scene,as Dr. Wicked and Professor Cthulhu are left in the area.

"He seems to be kind-hearted compared to me." Professor Cthulhu mumbles as Dr. Wicked notices his own sigh.

"Not really. I think you are nice enough to call Gorr. You really don't have to call him since he might be a reject as well. Well, Gorr might be a child to me based on his behaviour, as helping those in need."

"For now, let's stroll around for some more. We got time after all."

"Let's go." As they stroll around the city, they met some nice people, some are praying at a church, and most of them are working at this very moment, they are shocked to see that the founder of the SK Foundation is casually strolling around to check on the society's condition.

"I forgot to mention, how was Dale's experimentation going?"

"It went well, she managed to split into a thousand clones of herself. Well the trauma was still there to remind her of her true capabilities but most of her memories were wiped out. All she can remember is that she was trained to be at the service of the founder of The SK Foundation.

"I see. So for at least 2-3 months of the future, make sure the two of them, Dale and Mary, patrol the White Room and order them to capture the unknown intruder of The White Room."

"What do you mean?"

"A loop has been made and I am here to make sure that the loop is stable enough to create a situation for them to proceed and continue towards the end."

"Why them tho? You have others like Liam, Henry, Finn, Audrey, and the others."

"Just follow my orders and everything will be set.

Zane's POV begins

The White Room, where four entities converge and cause a conflict between polar opposite sides of the coin, light and darkness, they begin to fight with everything they get up until two of them are unable to fight.

My so-called brother and I are one of the dangerous entities known as Dale and Mary.

"If you want to fight, would you rather face me in a respectable arena?"

"Sure. Let's go then." They began splitting to face each foes they were eager to fight.

Dale versus Zane, the battle proceeds as Dale splits her consciousness into more than a ton of her clones to subdue their adversary.

Zane was cornered as many clones of Dale surrounds Zane to tackle him by outnumbering him. Zane then one by one executes with her dark blade as they began reaching him for his own blood. With blood lust on the loose, both sides were a bit agitated of their first battle.

"I don't know how to face a true battle but I know now my true capabilities as a living entity. Tell me, why do you fight me, Dale?"

----

While Zane and Dale faces head on, Mary asks Zane's brother who he really is. Without any hesitation, he somehow remembers something deep within his mind. Someone, a girl, calls him.

"Toste is my name."

"Well, Toste. This might be my first battle but I hope you and I reach our conclusion after this fight. No regrets, just happy killing."

"You're weird. We are risking and about to take a life of someone and you seem to be cheerful despite the fear of death."

"Well, I was made to be a man-made warrior. Now with the help of the professor, I will be able to reach my full potential."

"I see." Suddenly the dark tentacles reach the bottom of the floors and destroys the floors of the White Room as suddenly ripping Mary out of existence. But it won't easy to defeat her tho.

"Toste, that's your first move. Now it's my turn." Suddenly, the stability of the bones inside Mary penetrates as forming roots that could reach any long distanced enemies. Good thing, Toste had a reflex to dodge as suddenly, more of the bones went after Toste.

"She's strong... I need to replenish my energy." He mumbles as he puts his core behind as forming dark roots to absorb any substance that is edible enough as a food source in order to regain his strength and make his attack more effective.

"Brother, I hope you are doing fine. I'll be facing one of the strongest foes yet in this life!"

Zane looks behind as then, he was distracted for some reason and after that he goes for the killing spree as executing more than a hundred clones of Dale but it seems it multiplies faster than Zane killing them one by one.

"That's amazing, they really are fighting. So this is Zane's memories of the past. That girl... She seems familiar. Dale..." Claire remembers something in the past, as it itches to know more the more she digs deeper to the faint memories of hers.
