Chapter 6 - What We See

In a thick darkness a naked boy could be seen floating. The space where the boy was, cracked with dragon like lightning that were miles long that came from an ever expanding rumbling gas that swirled like a whirlpool looking like an eye, this space seemed to not have an end and it seemed as if it could crack and disappear into the darkness at any moment.

"Upsilon where am I?" the naked boy asked while looking at his surrounding. Around the boy was a transparent bubble that glowed with a cold light. Lighting struck the bubble continuously but the bubble didn't look like it was damaged instead it crackled with that same lighting seeming to be even more sturdy.

"#20, currently you are trapped within a fractured dimension." a cold voice replied "It is suggested that you escape from this dimension immediately."

"How did this happen?" the boy asked his eyes showing confusion, while the boy and Upsilon were talking the spiraling gas rumbled and doubled in size, and the lighting that came from eye like center of the gas turned purple and struck more violently and it's thickness double.

"I am unable to answer." Upsilon answered "#20 it is advised to use one of your cupisco." it continued.

"If I use one of my cupisco, I'll only be left with two?" the boy said "Can I apply for reimbursement, the Counsel will surely..."

"The Counsel will review, but according to the ius naturale you have 49.1% chance of reimbursement." Upsilon's voice answered.

"Alright then, Upsilon commence the cupisco." The boy breathed out "Cupisco command: Escape, Location: Earth, Lake Janus."

"Confirmed cupisco use." Upsilon announced, Upsilon's voice seemed to contain a kind of power that made the bubble that the boy was surrounded in, glow a blinding light. The light from the bubble was shot out and pierced through the center of the rumbling mass of gas. A loud boom was heard and the whole dimension shook and started to shift towards the center. The bubble that the boy was in didn't seem to reject the suctioning force and shot towards the center and increased its speed, going faster. It pierced through the center and disappeared.

In a grand expanse of darkness, A large mass of light could be seen. The light spewed fire out into the expanse and its light into the darkness. Millions of miles away from the mass of light a large clear bubble with clouds could be seen. The bubble had an elliptical orbit around the mass of light. The clouds hovering under the bubble covered the contents of the bubble. A strong wind blew shifting the clouds around it, revealing what lay beyond the clouds. On the surface of the bubble continents, mountain, streams of rivers, oceans, deserts and more could be seen.

"Alpha, you mentioned earlier a cupisco was used, which one used it?" A sharp voice asked, The voice came from a man floating on the highest peak of the bubble world. The man had flowing silver hair that billowed in the wind, his form was slender covered by loose purple and white cloth, his face like ice, sculpted with greatest of care. His closed eyes opened revealing white irises and purple pupils.

"#20 was confirmed to have used his cupisco." a baritone of a voice answered "And the most interesting part to the information that I gathered is that he applied for a reimbursement to the Counsel." Alpha laughed.

"Did you find out the reason of his Cupisco use?" The silver haired man asked

"I haven't." Alpha 1 answered

With his question answered the silver haired man then closed his eyes. His body began float gently of the grassy patch and he began glow a soft purple light that bleed into the very space of his surrounding, the places where the purple light touched bled its color and started to age and wither. The withering began to spread covering the whole bubble world. With the withering of the world earthquakes, whirlwinds, hurricanes, and all sorts of natural disaster began to take place in the now destroyed world.
