"Your time is drawing closer and closer boy" a voice echoed in my ear as i rested in my bed, the room grew cold as i could feel my mind go static and began to throb "is someone there?" I called out as i began to slowly open my eyes, my right eye burned as i did so. "What is this pain? What is happening to me?" I questioned as i rolled out of my bed, i crawled towards the bathroom doorway before using the wall to my right side as support, my legs shook as i inched more and more towards the doorway, as i did pain shot through my whole head like electricity, i grabbed my head as i fell to the ground twitching, as i did Darkness burst through the door in his Shroud form and scooped me up in himself using his magic to make the pain as bearable as he could while he rushed me to his Father, it took Darkness five minutes to get to his Fathers throne room where Mist was discussing farming methods for more food production for the Clan, Darkness set me on the ground and looked at his Father stating "hes getting worse Father! If we do not help him the seed of Chaos within him will bear ungodly fruit which will change him into something truly indestructible and unholy!" the large Emperor stood up and shot a blast of pure Chaos magic into me speeding up the process "Father have you gone mad?!" Mist asked as he walked towards his Father "my sons dont you see? This is what we needed all this time!" The Emperor said grabbing me with one hand and lifting me up "let him change with the armor, let him have his vengeance!" The Emperor commanded throwing me to the ground his sons in agreement with him.
When i regained consciousness i felt rain dripping onto me, i began to open my eyes and look around, i was in a large white field with the same flowers i saw before, i saw that same woman tending to some before looking at me and smiling, she stood up and walked towards me before squatting down next to me asking "what is your name young one?" I answered her saying "im Hyde, Hyde Jackson ma'am" she laughed as she stood up again "no need to be so formal, im Mistis Assassin the mother of the four brothers you have been following around and training with, Mist was named after me" she stated, i walked with her through the field after she helped me up, she explained what had happened which led me to the field, i had fused with the armors chaos spirit and went on a rampage which led me to collapsing in the field from exhaustion, she explained that this meant i was one step away from being able to take my vengeance towards Titan "which must i do as the final step?" I asked and she looked at me asking "are you sure your ready for it?" To which i nodded and she giggled saying "they always say that…your final step is to eliminate someone of close relations to you" as she taps my forehead, as she does i begin to every event that is to take place both present and future, everything that is to take place and how, my body twitched as i absorbed the information of the future before she began to dip into the far past, the creation of the clan and this realm, the creation of the chapters five years later, every major battle that followed and more! All of the knowledge drove my head to madness before she thrusted me back into my reality, rolling down through the rocks and mud down to the rusty minecart i found myself originally losing consciousness in "i cant waste time" i thought as i weakly rolled out of the cart and limped into the abandoned mines, my right eye was active and bleeding from the lower eyelid as i continued through the tunnels giving me a sense of night vision through the eye,i continued to limp more and more using up more of my energy as i made my way through the dark tunnels of the mine, as i did i began to see sigils on the walls of the tunnels stating "safety" and "salvation" and as i kept going i saw more that stated "light ahead," "not far" and "keep onward" and as i did i saw bright light, a bright light surrounded in what looked like sand, as i exited the tunnel i see a largely vast desert, to my left was a large spider-like machine with 4 legs that was on its side abandoned, i looked up to see two fighter planes of the Army of Osiris firing at a Federation Falcon which already had a smoking left engine, i grabbed my rifle and began to walk through the desert sensing that this was becoming an unwanted pattern i set my sights on any potential Federation camps within the area before hearing an explosion above me, one of the fighter planes shot the other engine on the Falcon and it began twirling down one engine on fire, i began running to avoid the crash, as the right propeller inched closer and closer to my back i dove down a sand hill decline as the Falcon crashed behind me sending loads of sand sliding down on top of me as i got up and began to dust myself off, i walk up the hill to see an injured Locust trying to crawl out of the Falcon, i walked to him and got on one knee next to him to check his pulse which was weak, i wasted no time lifting him up over and onto my shoulder and proceeded to carry him south along the Federation border, as i carried him i began to realize two things: while i did have him and his weight on my shoulder i somehow did feel any setbacks from it like fatigue, the second thing was that in some ungodly way my armor was keeping Locust alive in some form of statis, i carried him until we made it to a small swamp town that took us into their inn where we get a room to stay, the towns priest and doctor came to tend to Locust as the innkeeper gave us food provisions, we stayed here for three days before finally leaving and heading west, as we walked Locust never took his eyes off me yet never touched his radio comm. I asked him why and he answered with "because you would be killed Hyde and regardless of if your a threat to us all or just trying to live, i wont have you killed" and i nodded in appreciation, we found a town that was barricaded with wood walls and 10 foot walker mechs armed with automatic cannons on each arm and a rocket launcher over their left shoulders, they asked us "state your purpose or leave" to which i replied with "were just traveling officer were not a threat, we'll leave peacefully" to which the soldier nodded and disengaged their cannons, the other soldier doing the same. We continued on until we found a small abandoned house to seek shelter in and where we stayed for the night. As it got darker out we started a fire in the fireplace and sat in the living room, i layed on the couch on the right side of the fire place while Locust with his armor pieces by his bag laid in the couch in front of the fire place just far enough to not cause a fire hazard but keep him warm, we looked up at the ceiling which had part of it missing exposing the outside sky which had millions if stars like sand spread across the cosmos, he asked me "whats it like? The armor i mean, is it like mine or is it more advanced or 'abstract' so to speak." I pondered for a couple minutes searching for an answer deep in my mind to give him that wouldnt sound like i was bat shit insane but it was no use i gave in "the helmet is like if i shoved a very sharp needle through the back of my head into my brain which shot a chemical into my right eye which causes me to lose it sometimes, the rest fells like my im constantly getting electrocuted over and over again until i shoot someone in the face" he looked at me for a few moments before asking "what do you plan to do with this? Whats the game plan here? because clearly you have a purpose in mind that your not telling me." I stared out the window wondering that myself, it began to storm as we passed the time at our fire when i finally answered "currently im just trying to get Titan, after that i dont care what happens, if i need to be put down like a rabid dog after all of this then so be it" Locust nodded slowly as he laid his head back and we both drifted off to sleep for the night.
