Chereads / Island X / Chapter 56 - The end of the old me

Chapter 56 - The end of the old me

Adisa sat on the edge of the mountain and cried. "Trover…you..", Adisa wiped his tears and stood up, looking right at the sun.

"The surge of power I received…was because you died. Because your a percent he needs." Adisa said with disappointment.

Soldiers surrounded Adisa. Summer and the queen came out into the opening and waved him over.

Adisa got up slowly and walked towards the two. "It's time. You ready or what?" The queen, Silva asked.

Adisa ignored the queen and began walking down the mountain. "Taking that as a yes!" Summer laughed.

Meanwhile, in a dark unknown building, sat Udo who looked up at the ten giant chairs.

"Udo, of the Kani! It's been far too long!" One of the voices said.

"Well, ever since you guys killed my best friend…I see no point in talking to you anymore." Udo said back.

"Enough of your friend! He was a threat to the whole planet and you know it!"

"He was a kid who didn't know what to do with himself. Don't speak down on him." Udo threatened.

"What are you gonna do? Kill me!?" The strange voice laughed.

"I'm not that powerful!" Udo laughed.

(Or so you think.)

"No one's ever seen your faces! You all hide up here in this great place, and rile the island because your the strongest people here! But…you all are cowards." Udo said.

"Watch your tone, boy." A woman's voice threatened.

"Just stating the obvious!" Udo said.

"Enough! You know what your duty is!" Another voice interrupted.

"Yeah, I know. The child of legend, need to kill him, don't let him mature, don't let him unlock his power, ect. The truth is, higher-ups…I just don't care! He's a great kid, you should meet him one day!" Udo laughed.

"Udo…your doing exactly what your mother is doing when there was a child of prophecy in her hands! He could have killed-"

"And where were you people!? You all stayed in place, feared him for no reason!" Udo snapped.

"Udo take a good look at your life! Everything you love the most is gone! Your friend, your lover,children, even your own mother, and your lover before that!" Someone from above yelled.

"We don't want the same mistake to happen, Udo. We care a lot about this island, even the planet! If Adisa keeps breathing…the island is surely doomed!" A woman said.

"You all just don't know…" Udo said as he turned his back and walked towards the door.

"You have three days, Udo. Three days until WE take action!" Another woman said.

"And by we, she means all of the clans!" A man with a calm voice said.

"And by ME i mean I'll be the one too kill you all if it comes down to it! Just know…me and my troops will side with Adisa!" Udo threatened as two well-dressed men guided him out the room.

"You don't know do you?" A man asked.

"Wait, Joseph! What are you doing?" A woman asked.

Udo turned his head to see a tall man with blue-glowing hair and blue glowing eyes walking towards Udo.

"So that's what one of you look like!" Udo laughed.

"Your own Allie's won't be on your side, Udo. The plan is already underway…if I were you…I'd check my team!" Joseph whispered as he walked slowly back to the others.

"Check…my team? Plan? Oh shit…"

Adisa,Summer, and the queen walked alone down the mountain, as they were close to reaching the bottom.

"Why did you call your army off?" Adisa asked.

"We don't need them. Too many people will make the man run." The queen said.

"That so? He sure did handle everyone by himself!" Adisa laughed.

The queen paused and pulled out a blade. "You talk too much-"

"You three must be looking for Onbeperk!" A voice whispered.

"That voice…it's you, Jack!"

Jack stepped into the clearing and waved at Adisa.

Summer's eyes glowed green as she stepped in front of Adisa.

"Calm down…I'm not here to fight. At least…not yet." Jack said.

"Don't worry, Suer. I've already activated my ability. So he's getting weaker by the second." The queen said.

Adisa pulled his sword out slowly and pointed it at Jack. "What the hell do you want?" Adisa asked in a demanding voice.

Jack had both of his eyes covered with a piece of clothing. "Calm down! I'm here to tell you where you can find Onbeperk!" Jack laughed.

"Your helping us? Why?"

"Because…I want him dead." Jack said.

"Can't you do that yourself?" Adisa asked.

"Nope. My eyes have too heal and I know the queen wants to kill him, so…here I am!"

"I don't trust this, mom." Summer whispered.

"You can locate him underground! That's where he rest in the day." Jack said. "Follow me…I'll show you where he is!"

Adisa looked at the queen in shock. "Do you follow or what?" Adisa asked.

"We follow." The queen said as she pushed Adisa to the side.

Back at the Kani clan, Frost,Nzinga, Aliyah, And Jerome walked in with their heads down.

"Frost what's gotten into you?" Jerome asked. Everyone stayed silent as they kept walking.

Jerome stopped in place and stared at the three of them, who kept walking towards Udo's building.

"What the hell?"

Without knocking, Frost kicked down Udo's door and walked Into the building.

"Oh I'm sorry, Frost. Captain Udo isn't here right-"

"I don't care! Tell him to meet us in his room, we'll be waiting." Frost said, as he walked past the woman.

"I can't let you do that! You must wait for-"

Frost grabbed the woman by the neck and lifted her from the ground. "I told you to tell him that we'll be waiting in his room! What's so hard about that?" Frost asked.

Nzinga started laughing and walked upstairs. "I'll find what we need before Udo gets back. You two need to stay on lookout!" Nzinga ordered.

Nzinga went into Udo's office and began to look around. "Where is it? Oh! There it is!" Nzinga said.

She grabbed a piece of ash from Udo's desk. "We're going to save the whole island and world!" Nzinga said happily.

She rushed down stairs. "Ok, we have what we need. So let's get out of here!"

Frost dropped the woman and walked outside of the building with Nzinga md and Aliyah, to see Jerome out of breath, holding his sword at the side of his body.

"Tell me…just what are you three planning to do!?" Jerome asked in a demanding tone.

"We're…going to stop the pain inflicted on people…" Aliyah said.

"By doing what, exactly!? You plan on killing Adisa!? That's not how we solve things! Not like this!" Jerome said.

"People have suffered all because of him, Jerome. My whole clan…is destroyed." Frost whispered.

"They can easily rebuild! And Adisa hasn't hurt anyone! People are trying to hurt him!" Jerome said.

"Jerome…move out of the way." Nzinga said.

Jerome clutched his sword tightly in his arms, as he raised his blade. "I don't have much longer to live in this world! And I refuse to watch a friend of mine die, not another one! If your going to kill Adisa, then you'll have to get through me first!" Jerome yelled.

"He's brutally injured…don't take him seriously." Nzinga said as she walked right past Jerome.

Jerome watched as the three warriors walked past him, as if he was nothing.

(What am I doing? I can't…swing my sword! All of my energy is used up! But…the three of them are about to go fight, as if. O thing had happened!) Jerome thought to himself.

Jerome built all his strength and quickly turned around. "Reaper air slash!" The purple aura traveled through the air and got closer to the three.

Frost quickly spun his head around. "Freeze!"

The slash air slash froze in place, as Frost held out his hand and smiled at Jerome. "Remember when you called me weak? And said you'd kill me, Jerome? Well…let's see you survive this! And after this… we'll see is Aubrie wants a little play date!" Frost laughed as he pointed at Jerome. "Reversal attack: counter!"

Jerome's slash was redirected back at him, destroying Udo's building and half of the Kani clan. People ran away in horror as the three disappeared, leaving half of the clan in ruins.

A loud voice was heard over a tall mountain, a voice that could be heard all around the island. "Attention everyone! This is Joseph, one of the higher-up fighters of the island! If you don't want our race or the island to come to an end…then kill the one named Adisa, from the Kani clan! All clans…this is an important mission to save our world and people! Destroy the Kani, before it's too late! But…if the Kani kills Adisa before the rest of the clans wage war…then we shall hold a celebration for peace! No more fighting, no more of that unknown group, and finally… no more pain in this world! The humans on the outside world won't attack if they know Adisa is dead! So we will give the Kani twelve hours to kill Adisa! If not…all clans…bring war to that clan and Udo!"

Udo heard the voice as he ran through the forest. (Shit! Joseph just spilled the beans! He doesn't realize that…the humans want Aidsa dead, yes, but…they won't stop u til our race is finished! And what's worse…my whole clan might be destroyed and so will the island!) Udo sped up and finally reached his clan.

Udo stared in horror as the destruction had him speechless. "W-"

Udo ran towards his building, to find the woman at the front, laying u see the rubble.

"Naomi!" Udo yelled as he quickly moved the pieces off of her body.

"Captain…is that you?"

Udo grabbed Naomi and picked her up. "What happened here?" Udo asked in anger.

"Frost attacked the clan…I'm sorry…" Naomi's body felt heavy, she passed away in his arms.

"Shit…" Udo said.

Jerome crawled out into the opening, as he yelled to get Udo's attention. "Captain…they're….going to kill Adisa!" Jerome yelled.

(Frost? Who else is with him? I need to hurry and find Adisa, before it's too late!)

Udo grabbed Jerome and put him near the gate of the clan. In the blink of an eye, Udo had saved hundreds of his people. "You all stay here and keep away from the flames. I'll be back shortly." Udo said.

Xavier and Jade teleported in front of Udo. "You two are healed!?" Udo asked in surprise.

"We heard all the commotion! We're here to help, Captain." Xavier said.

"There's still some people in the flames! Me and Xavier will put out the fire and get people to safety! You just hurry up and find Adisa." Jade said.

Udo smiled and rolled his neck around in a circular motion to crack his bones. "With pleasure!" He said as he disappeared in thin air.

(Adisa…I won't let it happen again!)

Meanwhile, Adisa, Summer, and Jack walked underground, with the queen following slowly behind them.

"It's dark in here and cold." Adisa whispered.

Jack stopped walking and pointed at a black door. "Beyond this door…is where he resides." Jack whispered.

"How can we trust you!? Why don't you fight with us?" Summer asked.

"Too weak and you can trust me…this is needed for the great future." Jack whispered.

Adisa slowly grabbed his sword. "What do you mean by that?" Adisa asked.

"This needed to be done…Adisa." Jack said.

"What are you talking about!?" The queen asked in confusion. "Do it, now!" Jack yelled.

The ground above them began to collapse. Adisa quickly jumped and surrounded his body with aura.

"What the hell's happing? Is it a trap!?" Adisa asked himself.

When the dust cleared, Adisa noticed he was surrounded by Frost,Aliyah,Nzinga, and Jack.

"What's going on here?" Adisa yelled.

"We've reached a decision, Adisa." Nzinga said.

Adisa stared up at the five fighters. A huge crater was made, and Adisa was standing in the middle of it with Summer and the queen.

"You guys…are working with Jack?" Adisa asked.

"Not exactly…Jack agreed to help

Us, why? I don't know, but what I do know…is that we all agreed to killing you, but since we're your friends…we will seal you away in a prison realm, where you'll be alone in darkness forever." Frost explained.

"Wait…is this because…everyone found out?" Adisa asked.

"No, Adisa. You being born and here…is a problem itself." Frost said.

Adisa turned his attention to Jack, who smiled wide. "Doesn't your clan want me alive!? Don't they need me!?" Adisa asked.

"We do….but this needs to be done." Jack explained.

"You all…are betraying me!? Everyone in the clan has added to this!?" Adisa asked.

"We are saving you…not betraying you." Nzinga said.

Before Adisa could speak, Summer grabbed her sword and drove it deep into Adisa's back.

Adisa coughed up blood and jumped away quickly. "Summer, why did you-"

"Forgive me, Adisa. But you have to disappear!" Summer said.

Adisa turned around and noticed Nzinga flying towards him with her sword. Adisa quickly blocked her attack using his sword.

Before Adisa could run, Jack and Frost jumped down and punched right through Adisa's stomach.

(Shit-why's this happening? What did I ever do?) Adisa thought tearfully as the five of them started to gang up on him and beat him repeatedly, while pushing him back.

Adisa clapped his hands and phased through the five of them. "Ash armor!" Adisa yelled.

"We can't touch him in that form…but, thanks to Summer…we can break that!" Nzinga laughed.

Summer clapped her hands and reversed time on Adisa's armor. Adisa was then kicked back to the ground, as they closed in on him.

(I can't….I can't fight back..not against my own people!) Adisa thought to himself.

Adisa could see nothing but darkness, as he sat alone in the dark void. "What's wrong, kid?" A tall man asked, with yellow glowing eyes.

"Who are you?" Adisa asked the strange man.

"Not that it matters! Your about to die all because you don't want to fight back? You believe in kindness?" The man asked.

"Why wouldn't I? Kindness makes the world a better place."

"Is that so? Kind people suffer the most in life and get betrayed easily." The man said.

"Adisa, take a look around you. The people you loved the most are trying to kill you! And you think being kind helped that? Your wrong! Kindness is weakness in this shitty world, boy! We have no rights or rules! These people, these things, you can't show kindness! If you were only aware…this wouldn't have happened to us." The man said.

"Wait…your the damn god that's stuck inside-"

"Yes! And I warned you from the jump! People aren't who they seem! You can't trust anyone, I don't care if you've known them your whole life!" The man laughed.

"How…is this my fault?" Adisa asked tearfully.

"Your heart…it's too kind. But this is fine! I know the TRUE outcome! Why don't you let me take control and kill them, Adisa?" The man asked.

"I-would never let you do that again! Your not going to kill my-they aren't my friends or family…."

"Hahaha! Now you get it!? These people want you dead! All because I'm stuck inside of you! Hahaha! This is pure comedy!" The man laughed.

Adisa opened his eyes and noticed his body chained up. "These are ice chains?" Adisa asked. "It's time to seal him." Nzinga said.

Jack held back the queen as she struggled to help Aidsa.

(All of you…are cowards…) Adisa thought to himself.

Summer had tears in her eyes as she lowered her hands and clapped them together. "Prison seal….time manipulation."

Adisa was surrounded by green aura and chained down with ice. Nzinga walked up to Adisa and sat in front of him.

"Forgive me, Adisa." Nzinga whispered as she snapped her hands, as a giant orb fell on top of Adisa, it slowly closed as Adisa began to freak out.

"It's dark in here! Please don't leave me all alone! I DID NOTHING! I trusted you…all of you! And for you to betray me like this…I-my heart can't…" Adisa cried.

Frost closed his eyes and walked away slowly from the orb. "This was the only way." Frost said to the queen.

"Get off of me!" The queen yelled at Jack.

Adisa looked at Summer with pain in his eyes. "This can't be it…I though we were family!?" Adisa asked.

Summer's tears wouldn't stop falling, as she wiped her face and looked up at the sky.

"I promise…I'm gonna kill every last one of you! DO YOU HEAR ME! EVERYONE! FROST,SUMMER,JACK,NZINGA,AND ALL OF THE CLANS! I'll never forgive you for this! I want freedom! That's all I've been fighting for…that's all! Please…help me!" Adisa cried as the seal slammed shut in his face.

"Don't get emotional, Summer. We have to announce the death of Adisa! And just keep living our lives." Frost explained.

"I know it was for the great-or-good." Summer said as she sniffed.

The queen stared with disbelief on her face. "Do you people know what you've just done?" She asked.

"We saved everyone!" Frost said.

The queen began laughing uncontrollably. Nzinga quickly knocked the queen out and carried her over to Summer.

"Go home Summer and don't tell anyone about what happened here! I'll talk with Udo. I know he's on his way here!" Nzinga said.

Summer clapped her hands and disappeared.

"I'll be taking my leave now." Jack said in a dry tone.

"What do you know Jack?" Frost asked.

"All I know…is that thing will go our way. And thank you, kid." Jack laughed.

"For what?"

"You killed the king! Now it's only a matter of time before I kill you." Jack threatened.

Frost said nothing, he just stared at the seal.

"Goodbye! and until we meet again." Jack laughed.

"Aliyah, now it's your turn to cover this whole area!" Nzinga said.

Aliyah stomped her foot and covered the crater and seal with thick trees and bushes. It looked like a brand new forest.

Four years later…

Udo stood among the higher-ups with an upsetting look on his face.

"I know it was tuff…but we thank you for killing him, Udo." A man said.

"Shut up." Udo replied.

"This island has recovered! And that unknown clan hasn't been seen in the past couple of days! We have nothing to worry about!" Joseph laughed.

"That's right! Kani,blind,dark,Leo,frost,blood, and the sky…have all recovered well and there are no more war threats, you did the right thing, Udo."

Back at the Kani clan…

Everyone walked around with smiles on their faces, as Jade walked a huge group of kids into the clan gates.

"Took you long enough! How was it bae?" Xavier said as he jumped down from the fence.

"All these kids are tiresome, really. But there's one I'm interested in…I can see her becoming a fine troop!" Jade laughed.

"You must be talking about Jerome's sister? Aubrie sure has gotten strong! The damn girl is fourteen now!" Xavier laughed.

Jerome watched Jade and Xavier laughing in the distance, as he stared down at all the people.

Without noticing, Aubrie was already sitting next to Jerome. "What do you want?" Jerome asked.

"Brother…when are you gonna teach me how to use my creature!?" Aubrie asked.

Jerome closed his eyes. "If it weren't for captain…I would have died a couple years ago, Aubrie. I don't want you to end up like me, you know?"

A tall man,with very bright blue hair, and a rob covering his eyes, walked into the opening of the clan. He looked up at Jerome and waved at him.

"Oh no." Aubrie said.

Jerome's face grew in anger, as he reached for his sword, and stood up on the tall building.

The man stopped and surrounded the ground with ice. "You two can just calm down! Let's all just relax!" A woman with pretty green eyes said.

"Come on, brother, let's go!" Aubrie said.

Jerome put away his sword and walked off with Aubrie.

"Thanks." The man said.

"Anything for my boyfriend!" The woman said as she kissed the man on the cheek.

Udo finally made it to his office and took a seat. "What ever happened to you, Adisa?" He asked.

"I wonder…why didn't I step in?" He asked himself.

Udo looked out the window and stared at Frost and Summer, who walked around with smiles on their faces.

A Knock was heard. "Come in." Udo said.

"Sir! We found a body!" A boy said.

Udo turned his head quickly. "A body? What are you-"

Udo was shocked to see Nzinga's body thrown on the table. "Who did this?" Udo asked with shock.

"We don't know…but whoever did it….wanted her to be tortured…they didn't just kill her…they wanted her to feel pain." The kid described.

Udo turned his head and looked back out his window. "Send a search party, and let me know what you kids find!" Udo ordered.

Udo smiled. "That's it, huh?" He asked.
