Chapter 298: Death Has Come To Greet

Chapter 298: Death Has Come To Greet

Her beaming eyes centered on the bio-genetics in the pool of their own blood, she became more amused, until she straightened herself. "Pathetic!" she smirks, her obstacles were out of the way now, but she gasped suddenly because, in spite of the wave, Hiro still stood like a wall before her.

Her scowl formed deeply, Why? Just Why? She growled matching towards the standing boy, ready to rip him to pieces, but she halted instantly.

"What’s this?" she growled, staring at the lifeless boy’s eyes, there was no soul within them. "He’s already dead" with a poke of her finger against his forehead, Hiro’s body dropped like a bag against the ground. It was futile being on alert, he was already done for.

"Pathetic!"

_ _ _

Hiro stood in a dark endless background, his eyes lifeless, he stood like a zombie, devoid of life but yet still standing, in hopes of what, really? He couldn’t even feel his body, they were devoid of all the warmth of a living person, and he couldn’t hear his heartbeat, it was stone cold and dead, no one needed to tell him, no one needed to explain the situation to him, he knew he was dead, but not just him but his friends too.

’Humanity has failed’ a cold droplet of tears dripping from his eyes onto his cheeks and dropping to the black floor making a loud noise, like an echo, making the ground vibrate.

’Death’ he could feel it. Where he stood slowly sank and pulled him in, it was death itself, death was taking him, and he didn’t fight it, there was no need to because he was nothing but an empty shell with no life and death has come to claim what was left of him.

’There’s no need to fight it’ the darkness was just at his lower body ready to claim what is left of him. He closed his eyes welcoming the remaining darkness that was coming for him but instead of that he played his entire life before his eyes.

His parents

Black Storm Day

His awakening

When his powers went berserk

When he thought he die

His first mission to the surface

A year of training

His friends

General Anzai

Yuki

He flashed his eyes open, panting, just the mere memory flooding in, he felt warmth flood his cold stone heart, just a ting of it he felt it, and the tears couldn’t stop. He plunged his hand forward, hoping he would get out, or if anyone would help him, why was he desperate, why was trying to fight death right now? It was all set to happen before his eyes, it was taking him and sinking him into God knows what, just his head was sticking out from the dark pit, waiting to consume him completely.

’Not yet’ his eyes trembled. ’I’m not ready’ he was stupid to think such, for when it came to such he had no say, did he really think he would fight death?

"Idiot! You have done it before you can do it again, airhead"

He gasped when a cold hand grabbed him and he was pulled out, everything was bright and before he knew it he was dropped on the floor and he coughed, more like trying to catch his breath for he was suffocating just moments ago, and his body was shivering.

"Geez, just look at you"

The hairs at the back of his head stood up, his shaky gaze on the black floor which he could see with his own eyes surprising enough but that wasn’t his focus but the voice behind him that gave off an aura that sent chills down his spine, this was far worse than the Queen’s, this was void and endless like a deep tsunami ready to rip you apart and what made it worse... it felt familiar.

Was this death?

He moved his body which he thought he couldn’t... leisurely rising to his feet, and he was skeptical of whether to turn or not, mustering all the courage he did, slowly, and his eyes landed on Death.

"Yo Hiro" he mused.

Hiro backtracked, was this death? There was no way this could be death, this looked far from it this look...

Hiro couldn’t take his eyes off the boy, most certainly the same age as him, he was completely shirtless, showing his ripped body for his eyes to feast upon, and dark-skinned, but that wasn’t what caught his eyes but the neon blue spiral tattoos covering his entire body as well as his arms, he couldn’t tell if they covered the lowered part of him, because of the pants he wore similar to his military ones.

His face was in an ever-ending amusement, gazing upon him like he was beneath him like he was an ant he would squish from even the slightest movement, On this strange boy’s face, there was no tattoo, except the neon drawing of something against his forehead in some sort of symbol, two dangerous black horns were embedded on his head, his hair was a wild spiky dark blue.

"You haven’t died deep enough before" his ardent gleaming blue eyes had spiral markings within them, gold color.

He sat before Hiro on some sort of black platform, his foot on the seat and his arm resting against his knee.

"What-" Hiro found his voice but he wasn’t so sure he could speak but regardless he had to. "Are you death?"

He barked a peal of laughter so loud as his head drew backward, Hiro felt chills down his spine at the mere sound, why dies it felt like death itself to stand before this boy?

"Fuck either you’re dumb or you’re really just..." he mused sticking his tongue out.

Hiro gulped. "Who are you then?!"

"Death must have stoned you real good" he smirks sinisterly and the air suddenly grew chilly making Hiro freeze in place. "I thought it was gonna take more than that for you to come here"

What was he talking about? Where was HERE?! Several questions were flying in Hiro’s head but he knew one thing, not to cross this boy, he may be speaking with him in some sort of not-so-friendly tone but he knew and he could feel it, this person was bad news, but what was this familiar feeling?

"Who are you?!" Hiro demands but this time strongly.

His shoulders shake in a silent laugh and then he raised his head, climbing down to his feet with the much nerving amusing features. "Who else? I’m you... the REAL you"

Hiro backtracked, the puzzlement grew in his features, what the fuck was he talking about? There was no sense to- Hiro felt his blood run cold, the moment this boy’s smile fades away he saw it... he was stupid enough not to see it in the first glimpse when he studied his features... the undying resemblance he had with this boy.

"Say Hiro... if you get back there or in a more sense come back to the life you’re gonna get yourself killed and I can’t have that," he said with a growl, he was no longer in the laughing mood with Hiro.

"What do you mean come back to life?"

"Idiot" he spelled it quite loudly. "You’re just as naive as ever,"

Hiro’s gaze trembled, his heart slamming loudly in his chest, does it mean... the time he died when he thought he was just asleep, he actually died? And came back to life? Was that possible?

"Listen to me Hiro, you have to let us switch or that bitch is gonna destroy everything... I don’t like being pushed to a wall and she’s fucking doing that right now, let me rip her apart!"

The mere words coming off this boy’s mouth were like a hurricane, but he looked dead serious.

"Today..." He began coming towards Hiro. "Let me take control" he smirks and Hiro panics taking a step backward but he was suddenly falling.

His hand was already against Hiro’s shoulder, leveling him down to sit on the floor.

"Stay here and watch for a change"

Hiro’s continued to shake.

"Let me bring forth wrath in its true form"

Hiro’s eyes widened in pure horror.

_ _ _

The Queen suddenly heard a loud heartbeat erupted from Hiro’s lifeless body, her eyes slowly widened. ’What? It can’t be?!’ she growled suddenly a wide burst of blue aura surged out of Hiro’s body, the mere force caused her to drive backward, for the mere touch of it made her skin burn.

"It’s not healing," she said with shaky eyes. Her widen eyes darted back to a now standing Hiro but what she saw could not be.

Hiro’s wounds healed, going up in steams like it was being burnt away and his skin wasn’t pale skin but tanned, his jacket and shirt burnt off revealing more of his ripped body for her eyes to feast upon and her shock only got more worst when she saw the neon blue spiral marking engraved on his body just like the symbols she had to her body, making her eyes shock more in disbelieve.

"It can’t be" she took a step backward.

A wide grin across Hiro’s lips and he raised his head fully pinning her down with his ardent bright blue eyes, that not only looked like the bio-genetics but something more, spiral golden marking within them.

"You’re one of them," she remarks shaking in her spot but she regains herself, how was this possible?

"Yo Queen" he mused as the wide aura around him subside. "Been having fun ain’t ya? Well..." he grinned out his canine teeth sharply. "Allow me to have some fun too" he stretched out his hand.

Her gaze continued to shock.

"Wrath!" he mouths calling his blood weapon, the sword spins to his grip at a speed of light but the moment it came in contact with his grip, the sword glowed in a blue aura and became bigger than the actual size, the blade in some sort of blue flames.

"Don’t think..." his voice was cold and his features deadpanned. "...You will get away with killing me"
