Chapter 22 - Example

Ryu's POV

'What have I done?'

I was just floating in the middle of space with a bunch of destroyed rocks everywhere.

'What did I do?'

I couldn't breathe and it was kind of cold but then some kind of light shined on me.

'Am I in heaven?'

But I looked to my side and I saw something or someone float to me with some kind of light shining from behind her. I looked and my eyes widened a bit as I saw that it was Lydia as she hugged me.

I was brought back to this flying vehicle called a raven and we entered it. I couldn't hear anything but I could feel the activity around me as someone put an airfit mask on me.

Lydia was talking to me but I couldn't hear and I didn't bother to try to understand what she was saying.

I inhaled and I began to feel drowsy and dizzy so I just relaxed and closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Lydia's POV

We got back onto the carrier and a bunch of MVA agents carried Ryu's on a stretcher and ran to the infirmary.

I got off the raven and sat on a box and sighed as all the civilians from that earth were just filling up the carrier.

"There's a billion refugees scattered in our fleet." said Kurt, "We can find them another planet but this is war."

"Kishimoto..." I whispered

"I'm sorry." he whispered

I began to cry into my hand as I remembered the shit we had to go through together.

"Ma'am the chip." said a MVA agent

He hands me a gun where you insert a chip in someone's arm.

"Thanks." I said

I took it and approached the heroes, they all looked sad and dreadful for the loss of their home.

"We're going to inject these chips into your forearm, it'll help us teleport you around and keep track of where you are." I said

Without saying a word they got up and I started injecting them with the chip.

"What's the point of fighting?" asked the guy with white hair

I didn't respond so he just dropped the question and left.

"Is there a way to get our earth back?" asked a girl with black hair tied up into a ponytail

I shrugged and I finished up injecting the chips into their forearms.

"Ma'am Ryu's awake."

I ran to the medbay and when I came in Ryu was laying on a metal stretcher with an airfit mask on. Doctors around him began to make some final adjustments and one of them approached me.

"He's too emotional right now, one more burst he'll destroy another earth." said the doctor

I nodded and all the doctors left so I slowly approached him. His eyes were open but I could see fear and sadness in those eyes.

"Kishimoto..." he whispered

"What happened?" I asked

Ryu closed his eyes and tears began to come out of his eyes.

"He saved me, he took Demon's blow." he whispered

He began sobbing and he balled his fists and small lightning bolts began to form around his hand.

"Ryu calm down." I said

I tried to touch him but the lightning bolts electrocuted me and I yelped in pain.

"I also destroyed an earth." he sobbed

He put an arm over his eyes as he sobbed.

"How can I possibly face them?" asked Ryu

I watched as he sobbed.

"It was you, wasn't it Thunderbird?" he asked

He began sobbing even harder.

"You took over my body when I fell unconscious." he said

Ryu's POV

I felt terrible.

"Was it you?" I asked

No response.

"Answer me." I whispered

"Yes it was me." he replied

"Why, why would you destroy the world?" I asked

"Kishimoto's death could have been avoided, just like you I felt like a failure." he said

That caught me off guard so I wiped my tears and looked at the ceiling.

"I felt like a failure to protect you, to help you defeat Demon." he continued, "I'm sorry, I felt like I was the downfall of your life."

I sat up and removed the airfit mask.

"It's not your fault." I said

I got off the metal stretcher.

"But just promise me you won't destroy another world." I said

"Understood." he replied

"Ryu." whispered Lydia

"I'm sorry Lydia, Kishimoto's death was because of me. Even though you may think it's not, I still believe it's my fault." I said, "But I swear I'll bring him back."

"How will you do that?" she asked

"By killing Demon and bringing him back from hell." I replied

2 hours later

"Ryu." said Lydia

"Yea?" I asked

"Let's get back to work." she said, "We need more heroes."

I nodded so we left and headed towards the transportation area.

"We're going back to Naruto." she said, "Oh and while you were gone for like 2 months, we were recruiting people."

"How many?" I asked

"Probably over a hundred." she replied

"A hundred huh?" I questioned

We teleported into hyperspace and landed back on the Mount Rushmore looking place.

"Well, here we are." said Lydia

But instead of the military men holding knives, kids came out.

"Kids again?" I sighed

"Who are you?" asked a boy who looked like Naruto

"Hey, we're a friend of Naruto Uzumaki. We're here to talk to him." said Lydia

"I'm here."

Naruto landed 10 feet in front of us with the guy with black hair, black cloak and a sword.

"Are we leaving right now?" asked Naruto

Lydia nodded but Naruto looked around in confusion.

"Where's your other friend?" he asked

I looked at the floor and shook my head.

"He didn't make it." I whispered

"I'm sorry for your loss." sighed Naruto

"Dad, who are they?" asked the kid who looked like Naruto

'Dad?'

"Boruto don't worry about it, I'll handle it." said Naruto

But then more people began to appear out of nowhere, all were about Naruto's age.

"You're bringing them along?" I asked

"We'll do whatever it takes to save our home." said Naruto

"It's not enough." I mumbled

But Lydia nodded and started injecting the chips into their forearms.

"I hope you understand the shit we're going to go through." said Lydia

After Lydia was done she pressed a button and we all entered hyper space and ended back at the transportation. Everyone gasped at the sudden teleportation and looked around in shock.

"Where are we?" asked a guy with blue hair and goggles

"Welcome to Nova." said Lydia

We led them to Kurt who began talking and telling them what they're going to deal with.

"Ryu, the heroes we gathered are in the training vr center." said Kurt

I nodded and I left, I opened up a door and it led us to a staircase leading to the monitoring room where two agents were sitting there.

"Sir, we would like you to overlook this. We have no idea how Demon operates." said one of the agents

I watched as the heroes were fighting the virtual version of Demon but it seemed to be way too easy.

"Stop it for now." I said

They stopped the training session.

"Everyone in the room came out except for one. Decide who's going to stay, the rest come out and come to the room next to it."

Everyone began leaving except for All Might.

"All Might, listen to me. What you're about to face is the fake version of Demon. Do not fully use your power, it'll be a waste." I said

The other heroes began to enter and the two agents began typing.

"Starting training sequence in 3, 2, 1."

Once the agent finished counting down All Might began falling down the earth and landed on the same plains with mountains surrounding it. In front of All Might about 60 feet away from him was the virtual Demon.

All Might ran at her with incredible speed but Demon was faster so she was able to dodge all of it. All Might started furiously throwing punches as fast as he could but I could tell Demon was dodging them with ease.

"Make sure she uses fire augmentation." I said

Demon began erupting flames out of nowhere and All Might struggled to catch up.

"I'll definitely crush her." said the man with flames all over his face.

"This isn't even 5 percent." said one of the agents

Everyone gasped and looked shocked but then some new members I've never seen entered the room with Lydia.

"Who are they?" I asked

"New members." said Lydia

I looked at one kid who had literally a blank face, he looked like a student since he was wearing some kind of Japanese uniform.

"I see, what can he do?" I asked

"Psychic powers." replied Lydia

"That's nice." I said

There was one guy with a sword with orange hair wearing some kind of japanese cultural attire. And then one man I recognized showed up and he seemed to recognize me as well.

"Oh you're that guy." said the bald man

"You know him?" asked Lydia

"Demon and I encountered him." I said

"He's ranked number one strongest in the entire multiverse." said Lydia, "You must have seen the fight between him and Demon."

"He's ranked number one? He didn't stand a chance with her." I said

Lydia seemed a bit dumbfounded.

"Lydia you don't even use 30 percent of your powers." I said, "Why?"

Lydia sighed and watched as All Might continued struggling.

"Kishimoto and I are both capable of destroying worlds like you but we take longer." said Lydia, "I accidentally drowned everyone on an earth, Kishimoto created a mass earthquake that shook the core."

Lydia sighed and looked at me.

"I never want to do that again." she said

The training session finished and the heroes were talking to each other since they didn't know the others.

"My powers can't go against Demon's powers." continued Lydia, "Her flames can be so hot that they can evaporate water."

She sighed and ended the training session.

"Her most dangerous color is black fire. Fire that burns and never dies out." said Lydia

"How do you take it out?" I asked

"I don't know." said Lydia

I rubbed my forehead in frustration and All Might came into the room.

"If that isn't her full power, what is?" asked All Might

"I think it'll be better for you to show us your power." said Lydia, "Demon won't be there."

I nodded and left the room and entered the dark room with a solar panel looking at things on the floor.

"Starting training sequence in 3, 2, 1."

I fell down to the earth but I let my body move as I fell down to the earth. I landed on the same place we always land but this time it was just me.

"Thunder, are you ready?" I asked

"I'm going to give you 1 strand." he replied

"That's enough." I said as the cloud began to cover the sun making it dark.

I looked at the sky and it reminded me of Kishimoto for some reason.

'I'm sorry.'

I summoned lightning bolts around me and 8 red lightning bolts hit me and the wind began to pick up. The clouds above me began to turn into a giant dark hurricane and the clouds were roaring with thunder as flashes of purple lightning appeared.

The wind around began to become visible as they were picking up immensely, the dirt and grass around me began to disappear and the ground cracked.

"The wind's picking up to 200 miles per hour, stronger than a hurricane." said Thunder

Then multiple tornadoes began to form around me, increasing the speed of the wind.

"Wind's blowing at 250 miles per hour now." said Thunder, "You're learning how to control it pretty fast."

I screamed at the top of my lungs and the ground underneath broke off and the mountains around me were being torn apart by my wind.

"Ryu! That's enough!" I heard Lydia yell over the loudspeaker

I immediately calmed down and forced everything to vanish, revealing the now barren land, the land looked like it went through a pretty severe drought.

"You nearly broke the vr room." said Lydia

"How is that possible?" I asked

"I don't know, I thought we fixed some shit but looks like you and Demon are the only ones who were able to nearly destroy the vr room." said Lydia

"But I'm nowhere near her skill level." I replied

"I know but that's still impressive, you went from a basic augmenter to a master." said Lydia

"Most of it was because of Thunder." I replied

"I only gave you one strand of energy." replied Thunder

"It's still a lot." I replied

"No that was all on you." he replied

I didn't believe that.

"I know you don't believe." said Thunder

"Can you read my emotions and thoughts?" I asked

"Yea." he replied

'So can we communicate through mind?'

"Of course." he replied

"That's better." I sighed
