Jinko watched in horror as he gazed on the eyes of a beast he've unintentionally freed from it's cage.
A past wanted to be buried so bad...hate and emotions hidden deep into his heart...now a power of anger he didn't know could suddenly...burst.
Jinko felt numb. And couldn't dodge himself of the attack Humility was about to give him. He closed his eyes and tried to cover his face with his wings.
HUMILITY: I'm...I'm not perfect!!!
RED: HUMILITY! HUMILITY!!! BUDDY LISTEN TO ME!!!
...
*flash back*
Brylle Cooper, the second son of a known soldier in Germany, named Hans Cooper, is famous for his mean and arrogant demeanor. At only the age of 16, he is already famous for leading a group of bullies around his campus, beating up weak kids and doing graffiti on the vacant walls. His intention was to be the strongest male on camp, and though the fear he inflicted on his other perks are successful, his methods were known to be very violent and reckless.
But Brylle's violent behaviour started due to his jealousy of the more famous and more loved older brother of his-Winston Cooper. His parents would always compare them both, since his brother is stronger and more manly looking than him. Even though he have higher grades, he was a wimpy looking kid and was always nothing compared to his brother's achievements in sports.
He felt inferior to his brother in every way, that he began to train to be a martial artist, but for a wrong cause. He was 15 years old, when he first went to the infirmary because of starting a fight, and almost losing one of his tooth in the process. More importantly, he was responsible for the pulped up bodies of a few classmates. The teachers, though alarmed, tolerated his rash behaviour because of his father's vast influence that time.
But the saying, "What you sow, is what you reap," truly does hold truth. For because of his actions, fewer and fewer people chose to befriend him. Making his life more lonely, and depressing for the young lad.
When he reached 17, his father died because of war. And his brother was sent for backup. His mother, who fell into an unknown illness, died shortly after his father's passing. That left Brylle living alone. Without no one to console him of the tragedy that had fallen to him.
A year after that, war finally broke on his town. He tried to live his best at that situation, but soon he ran out of food supplies and needed to get out of his safety zone. As he wanders, he encounters two children who are crying and calling for help. He, who misses interaction of others despite his past cruelty, helped the children. He fed them and looked after them before his own. Kindness that he didn't thought he could give to others.
But when soldiers of another side saw them, they tried to catch them to be used as either spies or bombers, which is why he tried his best to hide the children. Sick, Sleep-deprived and hungry, while always looking out for the children, he died while cradling them in his arms. Peacefully and happily. Despite the situation.
The next time he opened his eyes, he became a who he is now. And renamed himself HUMILITY, after vowing to always be kind at all times, and to avoid violence if necessary.
...
Humility, after the flashback had a tear drop down his eyes after remembering how cruel he was of the past, and that he is not truly the kindest and most cool-headed person everyone thought he was.
Humility, till this day, felt he hadn't did enough good deeds to repent for the people he had hurt. And wonders how he was blessed with immortality. He wanted to inflict pain and and suffering to himself so he would feel less guilty, but it was impossible. He was silently breaking to this point, the least he could do was to hide his thoughts, to avoid hurting others. To speak calmly and carefully, and always have his cool to avoid arguments.
He stood up, and slowly dropped to his knees again, then bawled in tears as years and years of oppressing his feelings had resulted to such hate.
...
Jinko fell to the ground, shaking as he collects the ashes of his friend who was obliterated by Humility's blinding light.
Jane...saved him.
Jinko yelled in pain and hatred as he realized what have happened. Even the ashes started to slowly vanish, he tried to hold them tightly, and reminisces the times Jane had showed concern for him.
He wanted to stand up, but he felt weak.
He looked at it with tears blurring his vision, then yelled in pain and misery.
...
Red rushed towards Humility, who by then was too embarrassed and upset.
HUMILITY: I...I killed her...I'm a...I...I didn't...
He broke down in tears.
Gabby was then able to rush towards Humility, who have fallen weak.
GABBY: Humility!
HUMILITY: Sorry...I...I'm not perfect dad! Sorry...I upset you again...hmph...hhhhhhuhhh...
GABBY: Humility, hey...Red...what happened?
RED: I'm not sure too...but...HUMILITY never lashed out like that before...he...lost it somehow... Whatever thing Jinko gave him back then, it must have triggered him badly...
GABBY: I'm sorry...it's all my fault.
RED: You're a human...just a human...I understand well if you feel useless but getting in the way of our fight...will cause us more burden. You did the right and logical thing. It's okay...
GABBY: But...Jinko...he's...
RED: He's gonna be fine... I'm not going to do anything to him. He lost a friend...he needs time to mourn. Let's go.
HUMILITY: Leave me...I'm pathetic.
RED: You're not.
HUMILITY: I broke an oath.
RED: Forget about it. For me you're still the cool guy I look up to. So don't worry.
HUMILITY: *tears falling* Why? Why do you look up to me?
RED: Because...even cool guys break down sometimes...
HUMILITY: *eyes elated* Red...take her somewhere safe...and promise me...to never lose her again.
RED: Why? What about you? What do you mean?
HUMILITY: Revenge isn't a weak move for anyone. I don't want to drag you into trouble...I'm sorry.
*opens a portal*
RED: Uh, hey we can talk it out...
HUMILITY: I need to...um, do this for now...to sort out my feelings.
*vanishes with it*
RED: HUMILITY!!! Damn, he...ugh! That guy...uggggghhhhh. I don't know what will become of me anymore...
