Silver Tamer

ready or not? earth a great frontier, one in which humans controlled the population with close to ten billion a war was inevitable. although the war wasn't predicted to happen so soon. that alone was just a small scale prediction sought out after we set our concourse to the stars but only after. no one would have guessed it was caused by a rift that would then cause chaos, nor did even the smartest person think that mana would flood the world like some sort of virus. nonetheless had it waited one week you would be hearing "space the final frontier!" as we would have set our sites to and most likely Concorde space a place of unknown. at least to the current us albeit short sited we would have probably split into factions that of earth and that of space. no, I'm not quoting it, and I am really being true it would have been great BUT!! it did not happen as planned for a few reasons. one reason was that most things didn't take too well with mana, greedy humans, monsters and out of this world beasts destroying life as we know it. the second was population over one week we lost over half of the population. third well truly this is fourth but it loops into its own hellish and selfish drama. humans were no longer the only thing at the top of the food chain, that in itself was another thing. which was another problem causing number four humans were no longer the only sentient race as in through the rifts and from our great unknown. a lot came through that rift, a lot came to our galaxy, but either way, it all starts with a scientist warning one day before... maybe had we listened to that sick old man more would have lived? who knows?

Day before. [Prologue]

Reporter: breaking news brought to you live through global news.

Today which was supposed to be the long-awaited launch day.

Has resulted in a rescheduled!

That's right folks, the launch is being put on hold until further notice, N.E.X.A and its top scientists have found multiple discrepancies within our astronomical field closer to our outer Heliosphere.

Which is caused by our atmospheric pressure breaking the limits and I quote:

"The lower level of our atmosphere will prove deadly as we pass it due to the current elemental build up.

Due to this, there is no safe way to launch."

Says N.E.X.A's Director and Head scientist Dean Partial.

Other sources say that it seems the military of all nation's are beginning to crack under the pressure.

It is clear they have standardized living above all else we ask that you help yourselves, fellow citizens.

Anything that can be helpful is welcomed!

Is it not too late!

As occurrences of natural disasters continue causing chaos across the world!

Among that many places have reported anomalies such as overpowered hail storms, torrential rain, and lightning strikes with much more electrical strength.

Fields of wind are blowing in quick these storms are most likely to cause damage to inner cities and most rural areas!

I am not going to sugar coat this folks the danger is steadily growing!

We here at global news will stay true to our broadcast keeping you well informed on all the latest news.

This is Cassey Trail signing off.

With a reminder to be safe this warning is for any and all, please stay inside and safe.

Again this has been Cassey Trail with the global news signing off.

-*-

United general: damn those news reporters they are spreading chaos with this shit!

Why can't they ever warn someone without causing pandemonium?

Maybe next time they can just say: "you are all going to die!"

Secretary: uh okay sir...

General Cross sir.

We have a few small problems that need to be addressed soon.

Also, there is a scientist who says he has made a breakthrough.

Unlike the others, he has an understanding beyond every person we have employed.

He has rather pushed the bounds in the knowledge-base.

I think he may be needed, Sir.

Gen. Cross: well? you talked him up so, bring him in!

Secretary: uh actually sir he isn't here.

He is in the hospital two cities over.

we can have you at the hospital in twenty minutes sir!

As he is bedridden he and I ask that you visit him.

Please Si...

"stern stare from General Cross."

Gen. Cross:...No!

Why the hell should I care what some bedridden crippled says.

If he can't make it at such a critical time then his knowledge or understanding means squat!

I don't need to give a rats ass what he can or can't tell me if he can't even get out of bed what much can he do if anything at all!

Especially with us on the edge of a damn apocalypse!

We have a presidential suite to get too it was supposed to be the launch counsel but since that damn plan was called off, There is no right thing to call it maybe an advocation meeting?

That's where my intentions are at right now get everything ready!

Do not disturb me until it's time to leave I have work to do!

Ah also tell the science division that they have been approved.

-*-

(An hour later that day from that point.)

-Over a live broadcast, came a man well known.

The president was addressing His United Nation.-

Head President of the united nations: 'today was a capital day in history...

One that is not set in stone or ink yet, I know that there is what seems to be chaos looming over us as our planet begins to hold us barred to it as if tethering our future.

Today is but one day In a series of choices as such.

I choose to postpone this launch, not because of fear but because we have nothing to fear.

Our Rise To The Great Frontier Will Be Written In History!

I hereby set the new launch date one week from now in the hopes that we can overcome these anomalies quickly.

Thank you, That is all.'

-*-

(Two hours later at the advocation meeting.)

- With a great hedgimon of men who sat around a table with a very bleak and heavy atmosphere!-

*Not daring to speak as they usually do a man scoffed at them then spoke breaking the silence!*

President Wicker: -Presidential scoff- okay gentlemen what do you have for me!

My assistant will be gathering the reports.

Gen. Cross: Yes Well... Mr.President I have nothing...

These anomalies have stumped all of our leading egg heads.

Dean: Actually Sir.

We at N.E.X.A have made a small breakthrough it seems.

Whatever is causing these anomalies isn't random and as for the issues It is causing they are happening in a key area some dense in pressure.

Sir, other than a few random questions of safety and the fact that it's like it overcharges any and all particles in the area including humans or creatures alike!

they are tuning into various energy types some of which we have never even seen, our spectrum analysis has picked up Six different energy fluxes.

Along with many more, we are currently unable to examine.

Although as we sit here talking about this situation... it is growing in size and density we will never be able to launch let alone survive if this continues.

I mean there are repercussions of not being fully aware.

President: Well this issue persists but is there anything you or your teams can do?

Anything?

Dean: There is nothing, Sir, at least not without further research.

We work together with all the other nations we can come up with something.

Which will take longer than I think we have to be honest sir...

President: how long?

And how long-term?

Dean: We are at the best estimate, going to need two weeks.

As for the long term, there are no guarantees, nor do we know what the short term will be like.

we have had various reactions some very terrible some unheard of, and some so horrendously unbearable.

We did not even put them into reports...

(To the side of the president a well-dressed grey-clad man whispered in his ear.)

President: I see...

Ah, thank you, Gary.

well, gentlemen, and ladies.

I do apologize for placing such a burden on you but it seems someone has beat us to it.

In this matter to find out what this phenomenon could be there seems to be a slight breakthrough by a retired scientist.

Gary, please turn the broadcast on!

(broadcast begins playing.)

Casey: This is Cassey trail here live through the global news bringing you the latest breakthrough with Doctor Walter Mumford, A once-renowned Scientist before his tragic accident.

Walter: I am still alive and well renowned.

I won't be dying any time soon either!

please do not act as if I am dead as for the issue at, hand.

I believe it is to be accurate a temporal rift pushing into our plane causing ambient energies to expand, in which many forces such as electrical, water, volcanic, and the earth crust itself.

This shift in energies shall begin an evolution of sorts.

These energies are building at a rate that we have never seen!

At some point, they will be unable to soak into the Earth's ambient energies.

The earth itself is at risk We are terribly close to going haywire in a nasty way.

Although they have been prevalent for a long time on earth, These energies have never been in such mass.

Only a few places are often dense with it the Chinese often refer to it as ki or qi.

Europeans have called it mana.

We would call it magic.

Either way, I believe these temporal rifts are just the beginning of something that is much worse to come.

This energy is rather dangerous to us in very high doses.

So please pay attention to your health if you feel weird you need to leave the area immediately.

Get to a safe place and try not to succumb to fear it is only a mindset!

You are a human!

A very adaptable being rise to the occasion if it calls for it!

always try to trust your instincts!

There is one more thing!

I want you all to realize that there is no greater good than the good of mankind!

Cassey: There you have it folks that's all for this live breaking broadcast from Dr.Walters's very own hospital room.

I know this news is weird to hear but this is the closest information we have seen that deals with the way things are going.

His insights are not only accurate but are very useful information in which you can find on our page.

We are all the first to hear it here on the Global news live broadcast channel and this is Casey trail.

Here to remind you that we are here and will be here keeping an eye on the supposed temporal rifts while keeping you All informed.

We have your back please stay safe folks!

(tv turns off)

President: Can I ask why this scientist was ignored long enough for the Global news to have found out?

hah, what a cluster truck.

Gen. Cross: ugh... well Sir you see that would be my fault I thought he was just one of the many crackpots.

They have all been calling for the past two days most just want to name it.

I was told of him earlier but was told he was bedridden... I dismissed his statement!

That is because there were more important things like the reports, OPS, approvals, and the test our teams were running.

It seems as though he has found other sources to share his findings.

President: Is this an issue to you General last I checked was it not your job to assess all things and delegate others as you see fit.

This was not even something you had to do in person, you have the personnel for this specific reason!

*with bated breath the president held his anger!*

How long?

Jeez, how many!?

Gen.Cross:... Sir. *ahem* Since the anomalies have started that is closer to sixteen days Sir.

I have ignored quite a few it seems I have been sorely mistaken.

Sir.

President: *Haah* Walls must be broken down for one to pass!

General Cross.

If you continue to build Walls you will block others out.

That then begins to work against you, and the many others who rely on you as an Official to do your damn job.

I am dismissing you from these Generals relations.

I will have someone else do the job you are taking so lightly.

Shortsightedness for that situation at hand is not well for command!

one must be able to command as they are commanded, whilst commanding their ownselves.

That is discipline General something you should have plenty of sadly you do not...

As for you and that hubris, so sly in which I cannot fathom it for the level of absurdity you have has risen above and beyond for a man in council as a four-star general.

The closest man to a five star my Ass!

Correct it and apologize to the man you belittled!

Maybe then can I possibly begin to be able to accept your reinstatement to a more suitable position!

As for the other things Gary can you send word to the other nations' leaders?

We will have a gathering tonight to discuss further as a whole.

Since the masses are now aware prematurely thanks to the blunder of General Cross.

"Every other man sat quietly hoping his anger would stay focused on the man in trouble little did they know!"

President: IT SEEMS INCOMPETENCE RUNS RAMPANT!

What did you idiots think!?

I would be so childish as to not mention any of the blunders you bunch of misfits have brought about?

(four hours after the second broadcast.)

~ In many cities the broadcast played for seconds for some it played until they were unable to receive it.

The reason was because of the energies caused by the temporal rifts.

Raw energy which expanded out sending wave after wave.~

The unfamiliar energies grew so strong it soon covered over three fourths the entire globe.

This was only the beginning as electronics stopped working, anything that was a battery, or had the ability to gather energy caused major damage.

explosions, fires, tsunamis, whirlwinds, and devastating lightning.

The energy caused major places to be fried or blow up.

Like professor Mumford said most of the earth went haywire some just overloaded and wiped the land clean... but even then it didn't matter as almost every plane of nature gained a life of its own.

Nothing except the unforgiving vengeance as natural disasters continued to ravage the land not to mention man-made disasters!

It took lives but has been unable to shut them down the energy also caused catastrophic overloads as such many of the dams, nuclear power plants, and power grids.

At this point, mayhem ensued without a way to communicate.

The eyes that saw the land change as the damage took its toll was very few yet, even those few were enough to know.

Whole towns even some whole cities had nothing left but clouds of debris.

Nothing could be seen or have even been left.

Within the hour almost one-tenth of the population was wiped out.

That was what the last broadcast said before the satellites in our atmospheric bubble began to explode.

leaving bright flashes and falling debris.

overtime more was taken without mercy.

As panic and pandemonium set into the remaining people as places were wiped clean off the map, the government was unable to help.

Those who survived were not so lucky as a pandemic wiped the earth some dropped dead in minutes other hours...

Humans soon realized how wrong they were and now that armageddon Had begun.

There were no ways back war was nothing compared to the apocalypse at hand.

It was a silent virus yet, killed like a raging warrior.

Little did we know that this was just the beginning of a dark mystery as something, even more hellish, was to follow over the next few years.

Humanity spent the following time only trying to reassure themselves it will get better.

Those who did prepare or think of survival were the only hope for anyone alive which was billions fewer.

Some just survived by luck others through certain accidents and some by the purposeful relaying of help.

One thing was for certain the human race was to face the beyond, while adapting to life in this new evolution of our world!

Somewhere in a dark room, a wise man sat his eyes whitened over no pupils could be seen...

That wise man left these words as he passed away watching the world change through those milky eyes.

"The world that can be experienced is not true, The world that can be constructed is not true."
