Ryu's POV
"Whoa did you cook all of this?" I asked
I was sitting on a chair and the table was covered with some good food.
Demon shook her head and pointed towards the kitchen and I saw humans cooking with some ugly and scary looking monsters watching over them.
"Ahh." I simply replied
I sat on a chair while Demon sat on the other chair on the other side of the table. I immediately started digging into the food, the food was so fucking good and I loved it. Back at home the only food I would eat would either be my mom's food or like some cheap restaurant food which is good but this is on Gordon Ramsay level. After I finished I was full, I haven't eaten this much since I joined the MVA and now I feel nice.
"Come on, we need to start our mission." said Demon
I nodded and got up to get geared up.
"Ready?" asked Demon
"Where are we going?" I asked
"Back to the same earth where we met but a few months after." said Demon
I nodded and the same black mist transported us to the earth but it looked like we were in some kind of battle on top of a stadium.
"This fight looks interesting." said Demon
"It looks like a rescue mission." I said
I watched as the brown hair boy was tied to a cross while his team was trying to save him. But I noticed a huge guy who was using lightning as his power and a female soldier who looked like an officer.
"Ryu, I want to see what you're made of." said Demon
"That's the mission?" I asked
She nodded and pointed at the big guy.
"Kill him but don't kill the others."
'I've never killed another human being though.'
I sighed and jumped up into the air so high I was at least a whole mile up in the air. I wanted to try this new trick I learned during training so I concentrated and I saw that the clouds above started getting darker.
'Perfect.'
I began to fall towards the battle and once I landed, a lightning bolt hit me and a huge explosion blasted inside the stadium. I saw Demon just stand where we were with her arms crossed watching. Everyone around me got up in shock but the buff man looked pissed off.
"Another night raider?" he growled
"It's him." I heard someone whisper behind me
The buff man ran to me and tried punching me with some kind of metal pipe on his arms but I blocked it with my hand. He then electrocuted me so as an instinct I thought I was going to get electrocuted but I forgot I was resistant to lightning.
"What?" the buff man looked surprised
"Ah that's cool." I awkwardly replied
I broke the metal pipe on his arm and kicked him away. I thought I kicked him gently but apparently that wasn't the case cause he went crashing into a wall.
"Ah a worthy opponent." said the officer lady
She was wearing a cap but she had really long light blue hair and her eyebrows were also light blue. I noticed that she had a tattoo on her chest which I thought was pretty weird.
"Why you little." growled the buff man
"Stay out of this, he's mine." grinned the officer
"Sorry but you're not my target." I replied
I gathered up my augmentation and simply just raised an arm at the man and lightning bolts came out of my hand, hitting the man. He screamed in pain as the lightning bolts kept on hitting him. The officer charged at me pretty fast but I just stuck out my other arm and grabbed her sword and broke it, then kicked her away. The buff man kept screaming and it kind of made me feel guilty but I continued until he was nothing but dust.
I looked up at Demon and she didn't react at all. She just stood there with her arms crossed as she watched me kill him.
'I guess it wasn't impressive.'
I was kind of sad that I disappointed Demon but I didn't have time to think when the lady officer attacked me. She then summoned ice spikes out of the ground but I dodged it to my left and I boosted towards her and pushed her so hard she went through the wall of the stadium.
"Ah shit did I accidentally kill her?" I asked myself
I was done so I jumped up into the air and landed behind Demon.
"I'm sorry if I wasn't as much of an augmenter as you expected." I apologized
But surprisingly she turned around and shook her head in disagreement.
"It was good, were you trying to impress me?" she asked
I laughed and scratched the back of my neck in embarrassment.
"Kind of." I replied
She smiled and patted my head.
"I liked it." she said, "But now we go a few days into the future."
We disappeared with the black mist and now we're back in the city, well what was left of it. I looked over and there was a huge robot standing over the tower and two armored knights were fighting, one was navy while the other was the same white one I saw before but something about this one seemed different.
"Take out that machine." said Demon
I took a deep breath and nodded as I pulled out both of my swords. I held one normally but I held the other in the inverted position. I ran through the buildings with lightning trails behind me.
'That's cool.'
I ran towards the machine and I jumped up and I started spinning, cutting every part of its body while spinning around. Once I landed back on the ground, the machine started to break apart and into small pieces.
I jumped up and landed behind Demon again.
"Good job, you see that fat man over there?" asked Demon
I looked over to where she was pointing at and I saw a fat man who looked scared run into the castle.
"Go kill him and it'll be the end, oh and bring the head." I said
I nodded and I left and made my way through the castle until I got to this narrow hallway where the fat man and the girl with blonde hair wearing the tube top stood face to face. I saw the man pull out a gun so I slowed down time and ran towards her and blocked the bullet.
"What who are you?" he asked in fear
Without answering I swung one of my swords at him, cutting his head off clean.
"So you're on our side?" asked the blonde
"Kind of. It's hard to explain." I replied
I grabbed the head and regrouped with Demon.
"This marks the end of their war." said Demon
But then a huge ice barrier was formed near the entrance of the city.
"Oh I forgot about her." sighed Demon
We both jumped into the ice barrier and I looked around and I saw bodies frozen inside the ice. We became invisible and we saw a group of people there, the girl with the katana, the armored knight but his armor disappeared and the boy with brown hair stood there. The pink hair girl and the purple hair girl were there and soon the yellow hair girl came back over the ice barrier. And one lady stood there all by herself and it was the officer lady.
"What should we do?" I asked
"What you think is right." replied Demon
All of them were about to fight so what I thought was right was to interfere. So that's what I did, I rushed in between them just as they were about to attack.
"Stop." I said
All of them stopped and they looked confused.
"The war is over, stop fighting." I said as I tossed the head of the fat man to the girl with the katana
"You're not my opponent." she replied
"I'm not going to let you continue fighting." I said
"With her she'll create another war." said the girl with pink hair
I sighed and started to regret my decision to interfere.
"I'm not letting any of you do that." I said
But then two people landed on the earth near me and it was Lydia and Kishimoto.
"Ryu!" called out Kishimoto
But Demon appeared in front of me and had her sword drawn, Kishimoto and Lydia looked confused.
"You joined her Ryu?" asked Lydia
I nodded but I didn't have time to do any of this since I was more worried about what was going to happen to the civilians here.
"Oi, Ryu why?" asked Kishimoto
"Cause I don't think she's doing all of this just for power." I replied
"Oi are you crazy?" asked Kishimoto
"Kishimoto I only do things with reason, she has a reason." I said
"Was killing every version of you a valid reason?" asked Lydia
"She showed me what happened." I replied, "Ryu didn't want to be involved even though he was trying to get peace."
Lydia was getting pissed as she drew her sword including Kishimoto.
"Stay out of this." said Demon
Everyone around me looked confused but I nodded and Demon blasted away and there was a huge explosion that blew all of us away. I fell a few yards back and when I stood back up, I fell back down because the battle amongst them shook the earth. They broke through the ice and went far away from the city leaving us dumbfounded.
"Stop the war, killing her isn't going to keep the world safe." I said
"She enjoys killing." snapped the girl with the katana, "How can you stand that?"
"There has to be a reason." I replied
"There is no reason for her." replied the boy with brown hair, "If you're going to stand in my way, I suggest you get out of my way."
'That sounded stupid I thought.'
I sighed but kept my footing.
"If you guys continue to fight, it'll only bring more despair into this world." I said
"Hey, I don't care but I want another war." said the officer lady
I sighed and I really didn't want to be a part of this anymore.
'Maybe they're right though.'
I sighed and jumped away from them and landed on the ice barrier. I took a deep breath and blasted off to where Demon and the others were fighting. After about 2 minutes of searching I ended up somewhere in a forest where they were fighting.
"Stop all of you!" I yelled
Lydia and Kishimoto stopped and turned around to look at me.
"Enough, you guys don't understand what she's doing." I said
"I've been fighting with her the past year, I think I clearly know her intentions." said Lydia
I drew my sword and pointed it at her.
"She's the one who's going to maintain peace throughout the multiverse." I said
"If you're going to stand in my way I'll kill you." said Lydia
She turned around and was about to attack Demon but I ran around and stood in between Demon and the two augmentors.
"Oi Ryu, we don't want to hurt you." said Kishimoto
"I'm not like the Ryus you know." I replied
Kishimoto shook his head in sadness while Lydia had her sword pointed at me.
"Kishimoto, I don't care at this point." said Lydia
Kishimoto sighed and drew his sword which was pretty big, and looked like a nagamaki sword.
(Think of this with a longer handle and a bit shorter blade.)
Lydia's sword was a double edged sword with some kind of yellow symbols on the blade and her guard was pretty big.
But all of a sudden the entire floor around them erupted into flames. I backed up and fell back with Demon as she looked at me and nodded.
Then a whole pool of water landed on them taking out the fire and Kishimoto lunged towards us. The ground underneath me rose up so I was shot straight into the air but I somehow made the lightning hit me and another lightning bolt hit the ground next to Demon and now I was there.
'Lightning can teleport me now? I'm getting faster.'
Kishimoto hits the floor and the earth begins to rumble and break underneath but Demon shoots fire out from the cracks and Kishmoto nearly gets engulfed in flames but was able to create a protective wall for himself.
Lydia shot a whole stream of water straight at me but Demon stood in front of me, pointed her sword at it and fire shot out of it. At first I didn't understand why she did that but I saw yellow lightning in the fire with it causing Lydia to get electrocuted.
"Let's go and not waste time. I'm not going to kill them." said Demon, "They still don't seem to understand but I know you can help them understand."
The black mist reappeared and we were transported back to hell.
"Get some rest, we have more to do." said Demon
