Spontaneous Combustion

Libraire is snapped back to the present day by the crowd cheering him louder than before " Apologies I was remembering what I've been through since choosing to finally become a hero. I'd like to thank the Hero Core and all of you for making this experience fulfilling!" He chuckles and gets met by very few chuckles " First off, I'd like to thank the hero core along with everyone who's here, humans and non-humans alike. As a hero my job is to better the community, so with my newly found privilege given to those of us in the twenty-four ranks by the old Eclipse order." He inhales deeply then sighs What you say next, say it with confidence. "FOR DISCRIMINATION TO BE TREATED AS A MINOR OFFENSE WHEN DONE IN PERSON!" Libraire declares slamming his right hand down onto the stand.

This declaration causes the crowd to gasp then goes into a confused uproar, where some people curse at the hero and others ask why.

How can they react like THIS? What they so loudly hate against has emotions? you should hate it less if you actually fear it. Shade thinks before inhaling "BECAUSE IT IS HIS DUTY!" Shade yells from the back where the cleaning is barely evidential; with trash bags lining paths and a stench similar to rotting fast food, there are mainly demi-humans and dark skinned elves "How can we have a better community if we keep up this cycle of hate!? Someone has to take the first step on our side before the Demi-humans, Orges, and Demons.!-" She exhales then inhales deeply before continuing "RUN OUT OF FUCKING PATIENCE!"

This attempt at a wake up call was received with silence as her panting filled the air, until a male with black hair and no face emits words from his direction, on the stage. "While I do thank you for saying my very thoughts, I will have to say please do mind your language. This direct approach of both Libraire and Zylax Draken is why I have begun to show support for the movements led by non-humans to liberate non-humans from the weight they face day-to-day. So tomorrow I have arranged for these two to be star guests on the morning news! Hopefully you two don't just speak about politics." The male states nodding his head from the stage beside a smiling, sweating Libreaire.

 I don't think this will end well. Libraire thinks as he shakes Gesitcht's hand "Thank you Gesitcht." Libreaire bows as the handshake parts "I would love to meet Mr.Draken again. I'd like to question his tactics, just a little bit before we go on to shooting the breeze." states 

Again? You two met before? I should keep a closer eye on you than, I should try damaging the pups power faster than expected. Gesitcht thinks as he stands beside Libraire. "I am curious though, you have so much power now and the first thing you do is to request a law change like this. Why?" His voice seemingly amused as he inquired

Libreaire pauses before taking a defiant stand "Because I have regrets from the war, regrets about having so many people die all in the name of not peace but safety. Everyone went on that field hoping to bring safety and peace into the future; and while people made sides during that war, many were forced to one side or the other. Now when I look at the streets that safety feels forced as if it was sloppily rushed, I want us to be able to walk these streets without fear of those who also walk these streets! That's Why, dear ally." he finishes in a soft voice in the quiet pit, the coal crackles as the wood hisses. Libreaire sharply inhales and wipes his eyes "So I heard there'll be music and food, uhm Where is it?..."

Meanstwhile

Zylax pants as he looks at the racoon that's been split into fours then speaks calmly into the phone "Just continue on with the plan, don't try to find me, I'll be fine." with these words there was complete silence on both ends.

"Fine, I'll tell your manager we switched to plan B." Dauze begrudgingly says I know You said no matter the cost but for you to give your life, will only make this worst. he thinks rushing over towards the trailer where Zylax should've been.

My Quinx is a transport type. . . I thought if I were to Ever find out I'd be a hell of a lot more happier. Zylax thinks as he seemingly glitching in and out of reality while whispering "Got to get to the podium".

"I need to stop the blonde before we start looking down a dark road" The woman says looking into a small purple-pinkish portal as a train rushes above her

"Take the shot when he appears on the podium" A text reads for a man in a dark oddly shaped room.

"Oh look he's walking onto the podium!" A woman with brown angel wings says behind a bell flower Veil.

"I apologize for the wait! Believe it or not I found it-" Dauze pauses circling his left hand around "- Difficult to process how far we've gone with me still in school, and once I get out I fear that my time with some of you may be put to pause. We have only a few more treaties and far less events until our path for the future will begin to truly be woven into reality." He states calmly into the mic, being met with cheering, faint scorning, applause, and crying from the crowd

"I can't let that happen" A peachy haired male whispers as he takes aim "I ain't lettin no filthy animals ruin this mighty kingdom with their sinful plans." he adds.

"SO I ASK YOU ALL TO LET ME LEAD YOU-" Dauze throws his left arm with his hand acting as if it's holding something "-TO A BETTER FUTURE FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO CAN'T FIGHT! JOIN ME-!" his voice, filled with conviction and hope gets over ride by a rifle shot which rings through the air and for less than a second while the ring continues to ring; there's a piercing silence.

No! WHY TODAY! Zylax thinks, enraged as he appears on time to see his friend get shot. I have to be there. I have to- to do what!? Be there for him in his final moments or cover his death? I-I.. What should I do? CALM!! If our relationship was forced then I should end the job, if not then I should be there for him. Either way I can't do it with us in public eye!... I should... I should focus on the civilians first. They shouldn't have to pay a price for a bit of hope. His Quinx follows the thought leaving no blood and switching its target with its user. "Everyone! Calm down! Provieks proceed with procedure R72!". With that command the gate seems to transform from small gates into a tall defense which seemingly spreads for a bit over a mile
