SECOND CHANCES

Put a gun in the hand of a man, then you will see their true colours. When given power, how humans would actually accomplish all these noble acts of kindness that they fool themselves into believing that they came from the heart. The human mind was never programmed to think beyond the boundaries of our world, anything you want exists, reason why they that nothing is impossible. There is a Jiny in this world, he controls the fifty percent of fate that might mean that your dream comes true, we know him as second chance. As much as we like to deny it, everyone in this world has on various occasions been graced with his presence. The question is what would you do with your second chance.

That flame was spreading the closer it got, and it seemed like it was going to fill up the whole place, leaving him no way to escape, so before it got very close, he charged toward it from the left wall. he jumped and stepped on the wall with his right foot as he dodged the flame, then pushed himself to her using the same foot. When she saw him coming she stopped firing with the right hand and pointed her left hand at him, but he anticipated that, so when she shot fire out of it, he when rolling on the floor and got up from her right. He stood up instantly and shot her in the head once from a very close range. He wanted to close the distance between them, because he knew that he did not stand a chance against those flames, so he force her in a situation where she could only use her body to fight, even so she still had the advantage because she could turn anything to hash with simple touch, that is why he kept shooting her no matter how close they were. Touching her was fatal too, even worse, she had animalistic reflexes, so he had to keep a distance that would make it easy for him to strike while avoiding any body confrontation.

After he shot her, she went in for a keep to the head, but he simply bowed his head a little and walked to the other side, then shot her again. she got fade up after few more shot, and displayed enormous power to turn the tables for herself. She struck the floor with both hands, and broke it, sending them both to the lower floor. While they got back up, Rick made to her saying that if she won she could kill him, but if he won he would own her for six years. Without saying yes or no, she glared at and the windows all over the white house shattered. Temperature reaching three thousand degrees, fighting up close was no longer an option, but before he could consider other options, she jumped on him with a punch. He dodged it by jumping as far back as he could, so far that she could not reach, so she shot fire at him and it was with monstrous speed. He tossed himself to his right like he was diving and then rolled himself back to his feet. He grabbed one of the broken ceilings, huge concrete block and span around with it, then threw it at her. While she burnt it, he rushed to her and jumped in for punch, however she dodged it and kicked him in the gut so hard that hit his back in the ceiling, the fell on his belly. Without wasting any time, she raised her left foot very high and tried to step on his back with it, but rolled himself away and stood up immediately. The second that he got up she tackled him in the legs, so he fell on his back, however he swung legs downward with just enough strength and shot himself back to his feet. She tried punching right away, so he made very high front flip and dodged it. When that one failed, she reverse kicked him in the gut only this time he went down and it passed above his head. She struck him with her left hand right away, trying to slap him on the head, however he a double back flip, hopping to get as far away from her as possible, but when he made the second flip, she managed to kick him in the gut again, blasting him into a certain room where he crushed right through the door. She ran after him to make sure that he did not escape, but when she got close to the door, a big flower pot was thrown on her face. As it broke, another followed on the same spot. She got so pissed, and charged her for a fire blast. When she started the fire, Rick charged her, while shielding himself with a metal chair and speared him with it. She did not last on the ground and was already on her knees, after that powerful spear from Rick, so he hit her with the chair so hard that it took the shape her face, forcing her to fall on her back. Still, she took no time to get up. She shot the fume from the mountains on her back, so they pushed her back to her feet. After that, she was an animal and did not bother to hide her hunger for his blood. At first she saw him as a mere human being, but after witnessing for herself how strong was she saw him a threat and sought to eliminate him. She started to attack him the same way she would fight another one of her kind, while he could only use his lower legs because that is where he wore his protective gear, his knees too. she used an explosive speed against him, punching and kicking him unpredictably, but he dodged her regardless. He knew that if any of those punch landed on him, they would set him on fire, that is why he could not make reckless moves. Whenever he got the chance to strike back, he hit him with spectacular moves because they were unpredictable, anything else would be suicidal. He managed to hit her five time in the face, before she went completely insane. When he went the next kick, she grabbed his leg and swung him to the ground, then kicked him in the ribcage, pushing him for long distance from there. He tried to get up in time but she had broken more than just ribs, even so, he forced himself to his knees '' looks like I cannot own you after all, I can feel myself dying already. Tell me do you enjoy killing?'' he said, '' you think you are a hero because your monster remains dormant, you are desperate. Words or water, my flame cannot be put out, you will die screaming. '' Rage replied. she walked to him and grabbed him by the neck, then slowly lifted him off the ground. She watched him scream as his neck brunt, and waited for him die, however he had something to say about it. He made an x with forearms and hammered her arm off of himself, then gave huge slap across the face, so hard that it burnt even through the dragon scales. She did not expect that, so for minute she stared at not knowing what to do or to react '' someone needed to bring you back to your senses. Why are you mad at me anyway? '' '' I didn't kill your friend, my friend did, because he killed his friend. I don't know it was in your time, but in my time, it started with you, your jealousy went rogue and began to murder people in every street of California. They say the government aren't gonna do anything cause they are scared, well guess what, we are the government and we sure as hell aren't gonna keep quiet any longer. '' he said, but whatever he said only made her more angry. She kicked him in the stomach using the bottom of her foot, and shot him into a wall where he bounced right back, and fell to the ground instantly. Still he tried to get back up again '' I think you are looking for reasons to be angry so that you gain more powerful, hideous, big, doesn't make you a monster. It is what you do with it, that's what makes you a monster. '' ''just because I cannot turn my emotions into power, doesn't mean that I have no emotions. I control them, that's, what makes us human. You may think you know the worse pain, but if you get inside of my heart I will defeat you every time because my pain is greater. If you can't feel it, is because I am the shoulder to lean on and I have trained my whole to become just that. '' he said, '' ho! You're so hot it's infuriating. You men are all the same, the more charming you are the more ego you possess. Let see how far you run your mouth when I turn you as ugly as I am. '' she said.

Her body became as hot as the sun, melting every metallic item in the house. Woods and clothing tissues were the first to catch fire, then, the walls began to wear off. The falling pieces went upward, because her flames were weakening the gravitational field around her. The heat came out in waves, each wave getting stronger than the others. Rick still got back up. He knew that if could survive that, he would stand a chance of victory, but flames were too instance, he got cooked just by get closer. Because of that, he did not have way of striking her, however he was not ready to die just yet. He told himself that Rick always found a way, no matter the odds, so he used the levitating pieces of the house to attack. All that he had to do was to keep a safe distances from her, then kick one of the rocks toward her. He targeted the big ones because they gave stronger punch, however they were heavier so he jumped on them with both feet. When she realized what he was doing, she gave off a monstrous shock wave that pushed everything apart. As a result he was struck by the rock that was going to kick, and it smashed him on the wall. he coughed out blood, then pushed the rock away so that he could move, but before he could move, she jumped at him with a punch that he barely dodged by going under her arm to stand behind her. When he did, he noticed that his bullet proof suit had caught fire. He understood that he did not longer to live there on, because those flames could not be extinguished, however they spread just any other flames, so he stopped running and started attacking because he knew that he was going to die eventually. '' I promised my brother I was going to hold you here, if this how I die, then I will take you with me. '' he said, then yelled '' five percent ''. She asked him what was, he said that it was the level of brain power he was planning to killer with.

'' I have to hand it to you, your bravery is insane. '' she said, '' you have no idea. '' he replied. '' it is a shame, I have to kill you. '' she said, '' you can date me instead. '' he replied with a smile, '' over my dead body.'' She said, '' as you wish. '' he replied, and attacked her, as she attacked him. Surprised, Fury could not believe that he was actually attacking in his condition. On a normal day where she was not Rage, Fury was a civilian with no fighting skills, Rick on the hand, was a high ranking military officer with matured martial art skills, however he was up against a supernatural, so gave everything he could. He trained his body to react almost as fast as he thought, a quality that would soon come in handy, at least to make him last longer.

When they struck each other, Fury started the attacks and Rick countered, except this time he was not just dodging, he was punching back. Her unusual speed was the only thing that allowed her to keep up with Rick. After dodging two punches, he punched her on the left cheek without holding anything back. A punch so strong that, she fell on her right knee, but before he could hit her again she slapped him the belly with the back of her left hand and lifted him off the ground. When he was off the ground, she gave him massive kick with her right leg, and sent him flying for very long distance. When he hit the ground he continued to roll on the ground, but forced his way back to his feet before and stopped just before he hit the wall. without a second wasted, she was already onto him again with a well charged punch from her right hand. He dodged it by diving head first on the ground and rolling himself back to his feet to end up behind her, then grabbed her left arm by the wrist and forced her to spin by running back to the wall. which had her facing away from the wall, while he pushed himself back to her by stepping on the wall with is right leg, jumping on her with a punch. She turned around and jumped as well, but he was already in range, so he punched her in the face using the boost from the jump to give it more power. Since she was also in the air, the punch got so well that it forced her to back flip, however she landed on her feet, but he land before her and was behind her. When she turned around, he kicked her in the throat with his left leg and caused her to temporarily run out of breath. While she struggled to breath, he gave her a kick on the left cheek and she fell against the wall, but got up immediately wanting to resume the fight, however he wouldn't allow it, so he made two big and fast steps then jumped on her with a kick from both legs at the same time, pushing her through the wall.

When she rose to her knees with both hands still on the floor, he ran to her, to make sure that she did stand up, but when he got through the broken wall, she screamed and a violent wind wave came from her, blasting Rick back ward. When he got back up, he had fresh burn marks on his arms and his bullet proof suit was getting entirely covered in flames, so he dropped it on the floor. '' why don't you die! Just die! '' she yelled with extreme rage. When she got through that wall, she was flying by generating fire from fists and feet like a rocket. She had flames come out of the mountains on her back, and lava flowing from her eyes as tears. Play time was over, she was ready turn him to hash, but when she got back Rick was not there. He was at limit, hiding behind some walls, which was a problem because she could not sense him whenever he hid from her, so span around burning every wall, turning them to hashes '' show yourself you coward! Show me that smug face of yours just one more time! '' '' you think I am a monster, I have been abused my entire life. How can you understand, you're a hero. Your people killed so many of us without a shred of remorse, now that you are helpless you wanna talk to me about morals. '' she said, yelling, but Rick remained hidden. He could barely breath, yet the room only got hotter and filled with dust from crumbling walls, he stayed calm regardless, waiting for one more shot which was obviously his, so waited patiently for that chance to present itself. ''where was your morality when you helped your friend to kill John, where was your morality when you watched him kill Patrick. Where is your morality now, when you encourage him to kill Julius! '' she said, and her flames got even more violent.

She yelled at him to reveal himself one more time, saying that all that confidence was just fuzz, however he was going to show himself anyway because her flames were getting close to the spot where he hid. He went out slowly, limping from all the broken bones she gave him '' my confidence his no stupidity. '' he said looking at her '' oh! Yeah! How about now? '' she said, and pointed her right hand at him, and shot out fire. Without thinking at all, he took his gun and shot the chain holding the chandelier, and it fell on her. It was a big chandelier, so it smashed her on the ground '' see '' he said, '' you bastard! You will die for this. '' '' I will kill you! '' she yelled, and ran to him, but he remained standing with even trying to escape. She punched him in the gut, and went rolling on the ground, then jumped on him trying to smash his head by stepping on him from a long high, but he rolled himself away and tried to rise from his knees while she hit the ground, however he was too weak and vulnerable, so she kicked him in stomach again. he went flying to wall like a soccer ball. He forced himself up and final succeeded, even so, he was cornered and half dead, all he could do was cover his head with his arms to protect his face from her punches. '' die! Die!'' she yelled as she punched him. He took quite a beating until he did not burn or fly into walls any more, until he could no longer hold his arm to shield his head. She gave him a clean punch to the right cheek, but he simply faced to the left. That's when she realized that she was getting weaker, but could not understand how. She looked at her hands confused, with a lot of question in her mind '' what's happening to me? '' she asked. '' your anger is fuelled by depression, by screaming your heart out, expressing yourself and letting out whole that rage, it weakened. '' Rick said. she look with even more confusion and shock '' you knew it from the start. '' she said, '' I never walk into a fight without knowing the outcome. It's like I told my brother, I am the stronger monster. '' he said, and suddenly she switched back to her normal self. She was naked, covered in sweat and her long wet hair clouded the nipples of her breast, but she did not mind it even though she stood in front of a man. '' looks like I get to own you after all. '' Rick said, '' I am not a monster. '' she said, moving her head left to right with tears flowing from her eyes. '' Elianna! You are not a monster. '' '' for the record, you are a lot hotter as a human. '' Rick said, and for the first time, she smiled sincerely, he smiled as well then knocked out with a head butt. He grabbed her, as she fell and laid her down gently '' it's up to you now, Guion. '' he said in a low voice.

There he was, helplessly assaulted by Julius as he hung on to fin air with no balance. Julius struck him from every direction, and all he could was to wait to get hit. Julius's speed in the air was unlike anything Guion had ever seen, he had complete control of Guion's body and there was nothing he could do to stop it. His regenerative speed did not matter then, simply because Julius moved faster. He wounded him again and again prior to the complete closure of any sore, so before he knew it he was covered in bruises. That being said, it was not nearly enough to keep him down, Julius understood that that's why he kept accelerating. After enduring quite an abuse from Julius, the Overwhelm's insanely fast adaptability granted Guion another ability, one that would ensure that he was not completely out matched due to environmental disadvantages. When he sense that Julius was going for a killing blow, he raised his head and faced upward. As soon as he got close to him, he screamed, emitting a violent sound blast that pushed him back to the ground, as it blew Julius away and scattered the clouds.

When he stabilized he gave himself a big push toward the ground, but Guion incepted him almost instantly by beating his fists down and summoning long sharp bones that shot out of the ground continuously. They popped out wherever he went, so he flew outside the city and stood just above the buildings beyond the border. When he crossed the border, they stopped shooting out of the ground. Without waiting a second, he surrounded himself with his destructive telekinetic wind, then struck back again with double the speed. When Guion sensed him coming he raised his hand slowly with his arms wide open, and the whole city covered by the same flying bones, excluding only the white house. Despite the incredible range of Guion's attack, it proved to be very Infective because every time those bones got close to Julius, they were shredded into tiny pieces. When he reached Guion, Guion placed his head toward him as soon he was in range with Julius's destroyer shield, at the same time he enlarged the bone that stuck out from his right elbow. The telekinetic wind could not destroy Guion's skull even when he was completely submerged into it, so Julius stuck out his clause using his right hand attempting to reap off head, but Guion dodged him and cut down his right wing from his back by swinging his already prepared elbow at him while holding his fist with his left hand to provide more power to the striking bone.

Although losing one wing through Julius out of balance very quickly, he simply flipped front ward, somehow twisting himself and turned back to facing Guion before his feet touched the ground, even before Guion turned around. Using his legs Julius pushed himself back to Guion with his fist held out to punch him, however Guion reacted faster and had his face in the palm of his right hand '' let go for a dive. '' he said, and their legs were sinking. Julius was busy regenerating, that's why despite all his attempts to break free, that grip was inescapable. All he could do was to watch himself getting devoured by the earth. Before long they had vanished from the surface, and they were in Guion's territory. In there, Julius could not move or attempt to fly, he could not do anything that could turn the fight in his favour, so Guion assaulted him ruthlessly without any effort. he punched and scratched him everywhere as they swam around in the underground. When his wing fully regenerated, he yelled and generated a shield of telekinetic wind all around his body that reaped off the ground and freed him. He took that chance and flew upward right away, but before he got too far, a long back bone with a serpent's skull at the end grabbed him on the foot, then Guion appeared from the ground holding it. He span him around, trying to hit him on the ground, but Julius resisted all while struggling to free his leg from the serpent's bite. The second that he opened its mouth, its forced him on the ground, devastating the floor as he hit it ''ha!! '' he yelled and shattered the serpent half way from the head, then levitated from the ground immediately and stood straight up in the air. He gave himself a massive boost again, going up as he held his hands together without touching each other, generating a ball of cataclysmic wind pressure. When got above his head just below the clouds, he shot it at him. The ball went down spreading. The moment that he shot it, Guion jumped head first in to it. Since his skull was supposedly indestructible he passed right through it gave him a powerful punch on the left cheek that blew him sideways. Julius flapped his wings up and down, trying to withstand the push, but it took him whole the way to the ground. He rolled once on the floor and resumed his flight, going back to Guion as fast as he could, hopping to reach him before he fell to the ground, and he did just that. He grabbed him by the neck, so that he did not scream like last time, pushing backward as a result due to the speed he travelled in. Guion was in big disadvantage, and he it, so to turn the tables, he grabbed by back of the neck, pulled him closer and hugged him with both arms wrapped around his back blocking his wings from moving, which caused them to fall down.

When they hit the ground, they were rolling on each other, and eventually Julius broke free. He tried to punch Guion in the face, but he sank into the, so he hit the ground instead then Guion pop out behind him and stepped on his back, smashing him flat on his face. He then grabbed his neck from the back, and threw him backward, however he altered his fall and flew up, but could not go far because had grabbed his tail. He pulled him back and punched him in the face. Although the punch was powerful and it blasted him backward, Julius still did not hit the ground, instead he managed to regulate his fall and flew back up. As he did, Guion looked at him calmly. A second later towering bones rose from the ground, whole along the border and everywhere within the perimeter of the whole city, leaving only few meters of space between them. They kept growing even as they passed through the clouds, they kept growing. Even though he was in the sky, Julius was still within Guion's range, and soon even the sky would become nothing more than a foreign space, as he experienced for himself the brutality that took out Fear '' try to run this. '' Guion said, then placed his right hand on the bone tower that was next to him.

In a blink of an eye he was he right next to Julius, blowing him away with just one punch. His punch became extremely powerful when he used the bones as transport medium, because inside those bones, his speed was unimaginably high. Those bones were almost as hard as his skull, that why they did not break every time Julius knocked into them by Guion's punches. He tried to escape, hoping to find a place where Guion would not pop out easily, but the bones were everywhere, like pillars to sky. As he flew around in hurry Guion appeared on the bones around him like lizard while preying on him like lion. He then decided to strike, to give Julius the beating of his life, according to him, all he had to was teleport from one bone to another around him and hit him in the process, which should be easy since he was unstoppable in those media. He started attacking with extreme ferociousness, delivering powerful blows while Julius attempted to escape, so kept knocking him into the bones towers, however Julius continued to attempt his escape.

What Guion failed to predict was that he was being studied the whole entire time. After a while, Julius understood that all he had to do was to stop him from getting to those bones, or worse touching them. soon after that Guion struck with the same ignorance, not knowing that it was a trap because to him Julius's back was wide open, so he went for it with the type that one might predict but not evade. To his surprise Julius dodged. Since was going so fast, he headed straight for another tower, but Julius grabbed his leg, preventing him from touching it. He pulled him to the space on top of the white house, because there the towers surrounded the house, there was no tower inside the white house because he protecting Rick, so as result there was a big between the bones. Since he was flying Guion could not resist the pull no matter what he did. Since he had no balance and could not fly, he simply flipped around like a tossed stick waiting to be fetched. When he laid hands on him, he toyed with him, beating him black and blue and every time he stopped him just when he was about to touch the towers. Despite his hopelessness Guion kept trying to fight back even though he was completely dominated. With the pleasure of being oppressor, Julius made the mistake of grabbing him by the tail to stop him from entering the bone. Using his ability to weaponize his own body, Guion released huge thorny bones at the spot where Julius had held, and busted his hand, freeing himself in the process. After getting inside the bone, he still pop out from the same to punch him in the face. Quite a stupid move , which is why Julius never saw it coming. He popped out in front of him, yet he was too fast to dodge, so he punched him in the face and sent rolling on the ground.

Julius quickly realized that was in and even greater disarray by being on be ground, and knew that if he was to fly up again he could not have made it far enough to be safe from Guion, due to what he had done the earth. In order to get out of that situation unharmed there was only one option, absolute destruction. Julius would do anything to win that fight, so he did not hesitate and released a devastating amount of his cataclysmic wind by screaming at the top of lungs. It came out as a ball, from whole over his body in the form of an immense explosion, that grow twice as big every second and it was shredding down everything in its way, including the bone towers despite how hard they were. Guion worried that it would wipe out the white house with Rick inside it, so he rose from the ground as fast as he could, and stood guard by facing his skull toward the blast, with his upper bent and his legs wide open to maintain balance, he was ready to die to shield his brother. He stood about a mile from the mention, waiting without fear as the explosion drew near.

Although it could not penetrate his indestructible skull, it pushed him back a long way, destroying everything around him, even reaping off both his front limbs which turned to dust along with everything else. Regardless of his condition, he kept resisting until his right foot vanished as well, until his skull cracked, until half of the mention was erased sparing only the part Guion had focused his shield. That explosion had covered that whole city, even affect some buildings beyond the borders, causing them to collapse. When the explosion cleared, the city was completely wiped clean of anything that was previously there just prior to their battle, leaving only a small portion of the white house and a disabled Guion laying down before it. When Julius went back in the air, from a long distance he saw Fury laying down still, and Rick kneeling next to her, he was infuriated '' you! I gonna turn you to dust. '' he said, and then he flew down charging at Rick ruthlessly with his right hand pointed at him, generating an even amount of destruction, however focus solely on Rick. When that blast came close to destroying the remaining of the white house, Guion rose again, stand only one limb while the others regenerated, however his condition was not one with which he could fend off such an attack.

He managed to defend that portion of the white house, saving Rick's life, however at the cost of his own. When he stood up to sneak a pick in order to see what was going on, he saw Julius the devil, standing in a desert of crushed bones with Guion's unbreakable Kull at his feet. His body evaporated when shielding Rick, there was no trace him left but the skull on the ground, he was obliterated. '' you monster! '' Rick yelled, and attacked Julius with a knife, but he stopped him like a mere child by grabbing his wrist, and breaking his arm ''ahh!! '' Rick yelled, dropped the knife, and fell to his knees. He looked the skull with so much emotion in his eyes that he could not let out right away, but his eye, they said it all. '' every time you have to take a life, remember the pain you fell when losing something. Do not tell yourself, you don't have a choice, being the one to whom the unforgivable had been done, I am sure you are imagining million of other ways this could have ended differently. I have seen time and time again, and understand sadness all too well, I am sorry for your loss. '' Julius said, then turned and walked away slowly and relieved.

While he walked, unworried of any more threats, he heard a sound, a monstrous sound. The real voice of the blind one spoke to him '' brag all you want boy, but you have known no pain. I am the father of all emotion, and do not acknowledge you need for more destruction, your hatred must be stopped. '' he said. when he turned around, he got even more scared, because the voice came out of the dead skull. He couldn't make up whether Guion was immortal, or whether he was even human at all. His ability to lean on to life was incomprehensible. The moment that he saw that, he quickly left the ground, and stood just few meters above it to witness with own eyes, the powers of a God, to see for himself the reason why he was made king despite having been deprived of the ability to see. After hearing even Rick could not recognize him, so ran back to where Fury laid down, and observed from there.

The ground began to shake, the crushed bones started to rise, creating a tornado that covered the entire city. So tall that was seen everywhere in America, so strong that the wind it caused disturbed the weather all around the nation. Inside the tornado was pitch black. Although his eyes were designed for such conditions, all he could see was horror, the likes of which he would wish he had never encountered. He saw the most terrifying thing in the history of overwhelm, at the same time the most amazing thing he had ever seen. Guion's full body came out the skull, starting with the arms, then the legs and the tail squeezed out of it as well. As soon as the first arm came out, Julius activated the telekinetic wind shield, he could not shake off the fear of death at his hands. When his tail came out, the presence of the one every overwhelm holder was sworn to obey had begun to emerge, and it was getting stronger until the markings on his body began to glow. He understood that did not stand a chance against him anymore because whatever had become of him, was no longer of their world.

Julius threw another one of his telekinetic wind balls at him, but Guion didn't bother to move it. It took him right on, and did not even leave a scratch, Julius could not believe his eyes. He knew that was going to die soon, so decided to go down fighting, even though he was clearly no match for him. He was not ready to abandon their cause, which is Guion had to kill him before he ran out power. That level of strength was absolute, yet very short lasting and extremely draining. '' in the name of love, you will die here. '' Guion said, then lowered himself to four quarters, glaring at Julius like a rabid dog waiting the chance to deliver a fatal bite. Only he was not waiting for a chance, he was going to make it. When Julius saw that stand, he flew up at the top of his speed, hopping to get as high as he could get. With Guion's transport media destroyed, the sky was the safest place for him to go. Even as high he was, Guion still came from above him, and grabbed him in the neck, then dragged him to the ground. When he hit him on the ground, Julius chocked on his own blood '' look at that, I didn't know could bleed this way. '' Guion said, and continued to squeeze his neck, lifting him up slowly as he stood up, until his feet were off the ground. Julius witnessed his life flash before his eyes, and he was getting weaker and weaker. He couldn't fight back or break free, the grip was just too strong. When he started to breath funny, Guion's Human side began to regain control of his body, fighting off the unbeatable will of blind one and eventually he assumed control.

As soon as he relieved himself from the might of his demon, even the bone particles went back to normal, and the tornado ended. Despite his anger toward Julius, killing him did not sit well with Guion, it was against his nature. Even as the blind one he struggle to decide whether to spear his life or to kill him right there. His hand began to shake, his teeth biting each other, trying to master the courage to do it but couldn't. because deep down, he may have disagreed with Julius's ideals however he understood his pain, so he drain off whatever was left of the blind one within him and began to change back. His skull cracked first, exposing his left eye which soaked in tears '' kill him! '' Rick yelled, however he ignored him. He might have looked tough but beneath that mask, he cried for the ones that he was forced to hurt. His love was limitless, reason why he cried for Julius as well regardless of what he thought him. In the end he couldn't kill him. When he went back to normal, he no longer had the strength to hold him the same way, so he dropped him, saying that he wasn't worth killing. the blind one's majestic grip had done more damage to him than Guion had imagined, Julius was already dead, the only thing keeping him alive was his will power, and his burning desire for vengeance. Disappointed, Rick could not bear to watch any more '' damn it. '' he whispered, and sat down leaning on the broken wall.

Exhausted or not, Guion worried about his brother Rick, also, he was puzzled by how he had managed to defeat Rage all by himself, so he walked to tend him, prior to anything else as he was the only other thing beside Annika, that mattered to him more than anything in the world. As he walked, the city restored, building by building , they emerged from the ground starting with the tallest skyscrapers to the shortest structures on the streets. Everything became normal again, except for the white house that was reduced to the size of a four years old's play house, and the monster that was Julius, and that was exposed to the whole city. People could not look away, for the sight of him was a one in a life time experience, a creature of the myths was among them. They took photos, shot videos, hundred and thousands of them. The media arrived short afterward, news channels as well, especial the newspaper editors, they wouldn't miss it for meeting with God. Even the police were afraid to approach him, despite how worn out he was. The story line of his being in every article, broke the internet '' the devil is among us. '' its said.

Watching whole that commotion, and how a big of deal people put it out to be, Rick was not happy about any of that '' what the hell have you done? '' he said calmly to Guion. '' relax, he is not a threat any more, anyone can take him out at this point. '' '' he is probably just waiting to be arrested. '' Guion replied, '' since when has any prison cell held an Overwhelm? '' '' you have to kill him now, before he does something we both regret. '' Rick said, looking at Guion in the eyes while they stared at crowd surrounding Julius. The thought of losing to Guion did not sit well with him, he felt humiliated. The people around there frustrated him, so he decided that if he was not going to live long enough to correct the wrongs that were done to him, then he would die, taking the world along with him, thinking that at least then he would wipe history clean of his humiliation. So the minute that Rick suggested that he was killed, everybody felt the air all around the atmosphere getting cooler, and then people started to cuts out of nowhere. The ones closest to Julius, felt the most pressure, so they started panicking. By the Time it got Guion's attention, Julius had already begun to levitate and the pressure around him was impossible. He did not take out a wind shield, instead, he pulled it in with so much power that it tore through people's skins as the particles rubbed against their bodies.

Without a word from his mouth, Guion ran to Julius, to stop him before it too late, but Julius was a lot further than a tired man would even dream to reach in such a short time, which is why, while he ran he transformed one more time. Using the speed of the blind one, he caught up to him in a flash without anyone suspecting anything, not even Julius himself. He grabbed him, with both his arms wrapped around him tight, to make sure that he did not escape '' you may think you have chosen the right path, however history simply repeats itself. You will regret the choice you have made today, brother. '' Julius said, '' it's a shame you get to go down thinking this way. '' Guion replied, then, he performed another one of his scariest tricks, which was likely the most supernatural, the art of necromancy. He revived thousands of love holders from multiple generations back, to shield the city from Julius's final attack. They came out his body, by opening a hole one his back, which served as the door way to the kingdom of the dead. A painful process, he needed so many of them, so they kept coming and he kept screaming. He experienced their life long pain physically, the agony of having to through that a thousand times had toll on him. Each soul that came out his body brought him closer to his demise, but he went on with it regardless. They all held on to Guion and Julius, forming a giant ball made of bodies, the bodies of the previous holders of the blind love. It kept increasing in size as the number of corpses increased. Although people were panicking, they stopped running, they started watching '' what are you doing? '' '' he is gonna blow! '' Rick yelled, but still they stayed. He was in no condition to force anyone to save themselves, so he stayed with Fury, praying that Guion gets out of it alive.

When he exploded, the world experienced an earth quake. Even though the blast was insulated by a thousand Overwhelm king, its strength still reach the people around and was strong enough to at least force them to the ground. The citizens were safe from harm, so was the city or the world, however every hero who used their bodies to contain that explosion disappeared, leaving only Guion, passed out on a throne of bone and skull like a king a sleep. Barely breathing, barely alive. '' Incomprehensible '' they said as they walked closer and saw that he was still breathing. Everyone had heard the stories, so they make up who was and wanted to tend to him, but they were afraid to approach him, because hero or not he was a monster. Their hands were tied, so they made way for the only person who did not fear him, and as he limped within the crowd the people moved aside '' he is the monster that protected us, that's him. '' they said. when he reached Guion, he turned around and faced the population '' the monster that protected us. '' '' I like that, there is a good ring to it, and I want you to remember that when you decide that he is a threat and must be put to death, because this monster is my brother, he is a hero. '' he said. thrilled by his words, the people did not know how to respond to such an emotional show affection, they were inspired. From one to another they clapped their hands for him, acknowledging the strength behind their love for each other.

Sadly, their precious moment of respect was suspended by the military arriving to the scene. A black helicopter landed in the middle of the street, away from the people, and the president the five star general came from it. The other soldier arrived in land vehicles, among them was Principe Royer who was back to his normal appearance and with him, Isabella and Juliana arrived as well. When they headed toward Rick, the people cleared the way without question. Starting the conversation, the president complimented Rick, saying that America would never forget what he did for its people, however Rick disagreed and told him that real hero was his unconscious brother. Without beating around the bush, the president demanded that they arrest him, while he was still weak and easy to restrain. He made a step toward him, to try and convince him man to man, but Rick couldn't care less what he had to say, so without thinking twice, he drew out his gun and pointed it at the president '' you make one more step, and I will shoot you in the head. '' he said with a straight face, and without a care in the world. '' oh! My God. '' Juliana whispered, and the people moved backward immediately, with their mouths wide open. In return, the military pointed their guns at him '' put your gun down officer don't be stupid. '' the five star general said.

The huge difference in ranks did not seem to concern Rick at all, he simply looked at him and looked away. They could tell that he did not care, so they tried to threaten him '' I know it's hard to hand over your brother, but this concerns the whole nation, so be careful not to make an irrational decision because one wrong move, we will be forced to kill you both. '' the president said, '' in that case, you will have to go through me. '' Royer said, then switched sides and stood behind Rick. '' if Principe believes in him, so do I. '' Isabella said, and switched side as well, then stood behind Royer at his right '' me too '' Juliana said, and followed too, gut stood at left. with Isabella on the opposite side, his fellow soldiers could not hold their weapons against them, however did it because their supreme general was present '' I this a joke? '' '' get back here at once lieutenant colonel that's an order. '' the five star general said, but she stayed put. '' so you have switched side, then what? '' '' look around you, you cannot win. At the count of three, you will step or we will go through. '' the five star general said, '' oh! Yeah, is that before or after I turn the president stupid? '' Rick replied, and they stayed quiet, and of his lack of respect for the president in the presence of all those people '' Julius is dead, which means that a new leader has been elected, they know the signs and they are coming. Should they find him missing, another war will break out and the only person who can stop them is my brother over there. '' Rick said, '' that is exactly why we need to take him. With under our control, the rest of them will be very easily manageable. '' the president said. '' you cannot control him, it is beyond your power. '' Rick said, '' believe me, he is not kidding. '' Isabella intervened.

The supreme general, could not just let him slide, he believed that the military was equally capable of deciding whether or not Guion could be control, and was not open to negotiations. He ordered the troops to use any means necessary to have Guion locked up right away, but before they could take action, Rick involved the whole nation in the matter at hand. A useful strategy to stall them and buy more time while the others made their way there, turning the president's words against him '' this concerns the whole nation right? '' '' why don't we let them decide, who we they will stand for. Their hero or their so called heroes. '' he said. since the whole scene was broadcasted live, the entire nation was watching and they were on the side of the monster that just saved their lives. Although they supported Guion, they were afraid to say a word, so they remained silent and embarrassed of their helplessness despite the promise that they made to Rick just moment ago. They faced down, to avoid seeing the look of disappointment in Rick's eyes '' there you have the people have spoken. '' the supreme general said, then ordered the soldiers to act '' take him '' he said. just as they started walking, the only kid in the crowd snatched his tinny hand from his mother's strongly overprotective grip and ran to stand in front of the crowd where could easily be seen and heard by everyone. He yelled at the top of his little lungs '' Overwhelm, Overwhelm. '', then another person step forward, yelling as well, then another and another, until the whole crowd was screaming " Overwhelm " while shielding them from the military. Even the people who watched on Tv, left their homes screaming, filling up every streets on foot, adults and children, all going to rescue their hero. As their numbers increased, the military fund it very hard to get to Guion, since they could not use their weapons on civilians. The president was left with no other choice, but use extreme measures. He order the military use force, he understood how valuable Guion was to state and not ready to let him wander around in a world full of rivalling country that would got any length to win a war against America, however he did not share the whole reason for his interest in him.

While they fought their way through to Guion, a huge number of people came from behind him, and stopped just behind the throne of bones. It was the surviving Overwhelm, in their human forms, who came back to wish a long life to the new king. Two of them walked and stood as Guion's final line of defense. Although their faces were not recognizable, their personalities were very familiar. One with pride and arrogance on the right hand side and the other with care and limitless respect on the left hand side. When they kneeled down and bowed, the soldiers stopped advancing. Whatever they saw was never explained, however they looked like they had seen a ghost, the supreme general saw it too '' we need to leave now '' he whispered in the president's ears, and president turned around immediately with him by his side '' fall back! '' a soldier yelled, and the troops went back to their cars. '' let kill them now before they come even sneakier '' said the one on the right, '' patience, if didn't know better I would think that you are afraid. Beside we might have to eventually '' the one on the responded.

Weeks had passed, no new incidence had occurred except for the debates on every Tv shows. Despite the attitude he displayed toward the president, people still demanded that Rick and Guion be rewarded the day of hero recognition. When that day arrived, Guion rejected the offer and surrendered his medal to Rick, in fact he watched the whole ceremony on television in California. The president himself, gave the medallions to the four heroes present on stage. When revealed that the fifth could not make it there, the audience felt insulted and lost calm. They shouted the word '' Overwhelm '' while they showed the posters that they had prepared for him, some with pictures of his faces and others with '' Overwhelm '' written on them. They wanted to see Guion standing among the heroes, and would not shut up about it, however began surprisingly quiet when Rick said that he would take Guion's medal for him, Guion watched as he did.

Right after the event, Rick returned to California with news that was not to Guion's liking. He suggested that Guion left California to start a new life in a place where is true identity was not made public. '' I was born here, this city is the last place I wanna let go of. This people, they are not murderers they think I am a hero. '' Guion said, '' that's because you are a hero. But that doesn't mean they won't try to kill you. '' Rick replied, '' why would they want to kill me. '' Guion asked, '' damn it Guion, how can you be so naïve, this sure as hell didn't come from me. this are humans we are talking about, the very people that killed Jesus. '' '' what do you think they would do to you? '' Rick replied.

Guion asked him what he had in mind, he said to keep moving. As king of king, Rick suggested that he led his people to places where they wouldn't be forced to use their extra powers to hurt others, while at the same time, searching for other love holders all around the world to form an of heroes with whom he share the same ideals, people who would never stab him in the back. They were out there somewhere, and there was quite of them, waiting to be found.

Europe, Asia, America, Australia, Africa, over two hundred different emotions with the ability to take physical form wandered around everywhere in this continent. Overwhelm different cultures, and origins filled the world with fear and corruption, all lost in their own ways, yet none was ever entirely wrong. They believed that they were right, and had very strong reasons to justify their actions. It could be individuals, families or even entire nations, yet Rick believed without a doubt that Guion would be able to bring balance between the two opposing worlds.

The following year, on certain September twentieth at ten Am, in one of the most shimmering, but quiet places in the world, a bell rang in Virginia, a door bell. It was Guion's new home where he lived with his cat, with whom he spent most of the times watching comedies on a vast flat screen television with a big bole of popcorn, and a small one filled with rice for the cat, to protect himself from solitude '' I'm coming '' he yelled, '' Anne! '' '' did you sneak into another house to slap a toddler or granny when they fart in their sleep? '' he said, and the cat turned on her angel face to claim her obviously false innocence. '' if it's the hag next door again, I swear to God I'm gonna….. '' he said, but lost his tongue as soon as he open the door, because at other side of the door laid something that had been kept a secret for the longest time, something for which he would risk anything to go back in time. Once more, it was brought to his door by his brother, in his beloved mustang that waited for them just across the street ''yoh!'' Rick said, however Guion couldn't even hear him, his eyes focus more on the impossible '' Annika! '' he said, skipping his breath, in low voice, she was right there in front him wearing exactly as she did on his last birthday. He did not know whether to smile or to cry. The priceless expression on his face showed her just how bad he had missed her, how bad he needed her.

Thrilled, and overwhelmed Annika smiled and cried at the same time, yet stood still waiting to see his reaction '' I'm here too you know. '' Rick said. Guion looked at him, and walked rapidly straight up to him, then hugged him very tight, resting his head on him shoulder and cried without making a sound. '' come on, people are watching. Guion! They will think I'm gay. '' Rick said. watching them together brought back some old memories, which made Annika even more emotional. When Guion approached her he tenderly grabbed her cheeks, caressing them while she glared at him, observing his face drawing near, his eyes getting sleepy and his breath getting warmer. In her own bizarre way, Annika had already admitted that she was in love with Guion, and that there was nothing she wouldn't give to have his attractively shy nature kiss her one more time, but she had confirm that he was not holding back any longer, that he was ready to give it all to their fairy tale '' technically we are still not a couple you know, you never said anything to me. '' she said. Totally caught off guard, he quickly got back to his sense and remembered that they were not alone, so looked at Rick right away to see if was paying attention '' there is your second chance body, don't screw it up again. '' Rick said. He remembered what happened the last time that he neglected to tell her how he in time, so stared back in her eyes and held her hands close each other between their waists, determined to get it out of his chest '' Annika Georgia! Will you be my girlfriend? '' he said. she gave him a big smile and kissed him, then said yes. '' yes? '' Guion said, '' yes'' she replied, and they kiss again. '' seriously, that's all it took? '' '' damn! Girl, alright. '' Rick said, then looked away as they kissed.

After waiting for quite some time, he realized that they did not seemed to want to stop kissing each other, and they did not mind him either, so he took upon himself to stop them '' you gonna let us in or do I have to kick in the door? '' he said, '' I don't care man, just do whatever the hell you want. '' Guion replied, and then continued to kiss her. In fact she obsessively pulled him back to her on purpose, thinking Rick would feel lonely and annoyed. '' well if you say so. '' Rick said, his hardest door breaker kick, that knocked the door straight to the ground and making excessively loud noise which frightened them both into stopping at once, so they looked at him with their eyes and mouths wide open '' ho! Looks like we're about to have another jealousy case. '' Annika said smiling, '' don't flatter yourself, I'm dating an overwhelmingly hot fury. '' Rick replied as they walked inside the house. '' what the hell does that mean? '' Annika asked, '' he made a bet with this girl named Fury, otherwise known as Rage and he won. His price, her, for five years. '' Guion replied, '' five years, that's sick. Why wasn't I told about any of this? '' Annika asked, '' yeah! Why didn't you tell me that she was alive? '' Guion inquired, '' she was dying, paralyzed, never to walk again, so the doctor strictly recommended that she was kept safe from all sort stress, which would not have happened if she had her soon to be boyfriend, cry babying all over her. If I had told you that she was alive, you would have killed her. '' Rick replied, '' fair point '' Guion said, '' wait! You're gonna killing me? Right? '' Annika asked, '' of course not, I will never do that. '' Guion replied, '' relax,… I was kidding. '' Annika said, '' yeah! Yeah! You're in love we get it. Why don't you just punch me in the face the next time. '' '' by the way Guion! Happy birthday bro. '' Rick said, '' thanks man '' Guion replied, '' happy Birthday Guion '' Annika said, '' thank you '' Guion replied.

They posed for a minute, not saying anything at all, giving off that fun killer chemistry that went against everything that Rick stood for as the fun cracker that believed himself to be. He despised boredom, and he would do anything to run away from it, or punch it in the face with a new joke every single time. Rick was always in a mood for jokes, in fact he never took anything seriously, so it would seem. On days that he did not wish to make jokes, it was when believed that whatever had him incapable of enjoyment was something impossible to kill with just simple pleasantries, so instead he engaged himself in something far more addictive, something that one would rather do no matter how much they complained about not having enough time in a day. Exploring new cars '' do you guys wanna go to the garage? '' he asked, '' no!! '' they yelled so loud that their voices echoed many times over, around the entire neighbourhood.

The end
