Specified location, Earth 656
Ring, My head, what was I doing last night? I looked around my room, which was all messed up. Socks are everywhere, and my drawers are messy. Man, I must have lost it last night with all this mess. I then heard someone yell, "Noah, get down here now." Jeez, it sounds like Mom. As I was about to go down stairs, I looked at my room and thought to myself, I'll fix it later. I went downstairs and saw her making breakfast.
Noah.... Why were you gone so late last night? You know you should not have been up that late.
Eh, I'm sorry, I got carried away. "Mary Madden" is my mother's name. She's pretty and seems nice, but is strict.
Noah, as you know, school is tomorrow, so you're going to have to stop staying up late at night.
She tries her best to take care of me, which is fine, but she can get annoying. I look at her as I get my breakfast and sit down at the table. She made me pancakes, and they tasted good, too. This must be my lucky day.
Noah, you're coming with me to work today.
HUH! Why?
I need help with something since none of my fellow workers want to help and are just being lazy.
Fine, I'll help out. I guess it's a good thing to help your mom out, especially since she works very hard to keep this place and myself going. "I look back at her, smiling at me."
I fixed up my room a bit and put some good clothes on. I heard my phone ring and saw Joe calling me.
HEY! Noah, that party last night was amazing, especially all of the women; we should do that more often.
I don't know if I can—especially with school coming up again, I won't be able to stay up.
Oh, your right; I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow, bye.
I hung up the phone and walked out the door to see my mom in the car. Of course, it smells good, as my mom always tries to keep her property in shape. She starts the car and then proceeds to drive. I look out the windows to see this beautiful Utopia, which is what this city is called, but I highly doubt it is such a thing.
Alright, we're here!
My mom works at a high-tech place, and it is very intriguing, especially with all the flying cars, AI, jetpacks, and all the other things that you probably imagined as a kid, but I always thought this place seemed suspicious, and for some reason, it just bothers me. On a side note, there are beings with exceptional abilities all around the world. It's pretty interesting to me, but to others, it's very much not interesting, as they are a nuisance to this world known as Utopia. Mostly because across the globe there are people who want to do nothing but cause havoc, and I can't really blame them for that reason. However, the solution to that problem is the Anti-Destruction organization named Valdora. The main purpose is to wipe out any being who brings destruction to this world and its foundation. Pretty basic reason—not too much or too little, but I hear my mom.
NOAH! It's time to go in.
UHH! Fine, I walked with mom into the building.
Listen, Noah, I don't know if you remember, but my workspace is over to the right. Just wait there; I'll call you when I need help.
I walked over to her workspace and sat down on her chair. I was about to go on my phone until I saw the variety of books that she had laying down on her desk. The titles are Greek Mythology, Norse Mythology, and Welsh Mythology. This is quite intriguing; I never thought mom would be interested in these kinds of things. Well, since there's nothing to do, we might as well look into it. Let's see, in Greek mythology, there are the main Greek gods such as Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon, and they have all ruled over different parts of the world, for instance, Hades with the Netherworld, Zeus with Olympus, and Poseidon with the sea. As I'm scrolling through the pages, I come across something called "Jung's archetypes." I was curious, but I just looked over it. However, I went onto the Norse Mythology with their gods such as Loki, Thor, Odin, and Vidar. I continued to look into them, but my name was called by my mother already.
NOAH!
I almost got frustrated, but I kept my cool. I begin to walk over to her as I see her observing the tall electric building, making me wonder why she's observing this.
This building that is being constructed will be a significant and necessary product in the future.
Why?
Well, I'm glad you asked, because basically, this world's energy source is starting to go low, and recently, it's been depleting way too fast to the point where refills aren't enough. So for these past years, we have been building this "power source" which will keep this earth going for years, maybe even centuries...
Centuries?
Yes, I hope for a successful future civilization.
I then become more curious and ask a very important question. What kind of material was needed to make this?
I can't really tell anyone this, but I'll make an exception just for you, Noah.
I then looked at her and started listening.
Well, it started when something came crashing out of the sky. We thought it was just some plain meteor, but it wasn't it was glowing white, black, and blue. None of the workers could fully understand it, so they tried analyzing it, and the results were incomprehensible. " No one could understand the language, but the energy radiating from it made it valuable, so they took it and used it for this new power source. That's pretty much it.
I looked at my mom, trying to stay serious, but inside my mind I was in disbelief that they would try and use energy from something they had no full understanding of. I tried to talk to her about how this was completely irresponsible and unacceptable, but in the end, it was pointless because she didn't listen to any of my reasons and just told me to go back. So that's what I did, but as I was going back, I saw a very suspicious worker trying to get somewhere, and because curiosity always gets to me, I decided to follow him.
"Come on, come on, come on."
That's what his mumbling sounded like, and while I was slowly chasing him through the rooms, I was dumbfounded by the amount of magic, qi, and energy in general that was radiating from these rooms, but I wouldn't want to be distracted by it, so I just continued.
Great! now that I've found it, all I have to do is
Hi
Ahhh!, who are you?
My name is Noah, but a better question is why you are snooping around this facility so nervously and suspiciously.
No! I won't tell you anything.
I looked down at the files and snatched them from his hands.
Hey give it BACK!
I jumped away while looking at it, and it seems my gut feeling was right—this company really is doing something suspicious. It seemed off from the beginning, but now I just need more insight into their plan and what their goal is.
As this man tries to get the files back from me, I opened up one of the doors behind me, which led to the room labeled as "The Source." We enter it and me and this man were astonished at how beautiful and bright it is. I try to look around while thoroughly looking at it.
So this is what it really looks like?
I was surprised that you didn't know what it looked like.
Well, they never really allow the lower ranks to access these types of areas.
As the worker continued to talk, I began to here a alarm in the facility as well as noises coming from outside. It was a loud sound, similar to that of police sirens.
What? Are the police actually here?
I then notice eight terrifying beings with abilities, which can only mean one thing: Valdora.
Valdora? here? This is not good. I have to get out of here.
The worker was near and was going to escape, but as I was about to follow him and leave, I noticed something very weird. There is one window in this enclosed area, which doesn't make any sense, so I looked through the window and saw something glowing in the sky. I couldn't quite make out what it was, but then it stopped. I realized that whatever was glowing in the sky wasn't a supernatural being or a power source, but rather something really, really bad. I then tried to jump out of the way, but it was too late; it blasted right through the window, completely destroying half of the facility. I land right next to "The Source," hitting my head on the walls. There was blood dripping from my hair, and my hands could barely move. I was disappointed for ending up like this, but as I was trying to move, I saw a peculiar individual walk in. His clothing was stunning; it was covered in black and white, and it looked like a kimono. How wonderful this sight is. The man started to talk.
Let's see where the source landed, huh? Well, this makes it easier, and I should bring this back to "That Man".
I slowly got up and tried to make it to the exit, but I was stopped by a sword that was thrown at me. It was so close to hitting my head.
Hey, you there, where do you think you're going?
Hey? I'm just trying to leave, okay.
Really? Looking at your condition, you're not going to get very far, so I don't think you should try to resist letting a lonely dog move.
Well, I at least have to try, and I won't allow anyone to stop me from doing so.
Oh? I retracted my sword and started to rush directly at this weakened human being and finish him off.
In my mind, I thought it was over, but my hands started to light up and fire began to emit from them. A phenomenon occurred. I directed my fire right at him, but his sword went through it.
Do you really think these flames will do you any good? Pitiful human, you should know your place.
The fire spread into one of the pipes, causing it to explode and instantly launching me into the air. My fingers were torn off, and my eye went blind. All I could see was a bright light and myself as I fell into the source.
Well, it looks like you have fallen for it. That saves me time, and I will now begin the transfer.
It's so quiet and bright; where am I? This place is covered in flowers and trees. I was able to move around and observe the area, and then I heard a voice call out to me all of a sudden.
Do you accept me? Do you want to stand above the rest and live a fulfilling life?
Yes, although I didn't know this voice's intent, I agreed with what it was asking me.
Very well
A butterfly flew up to me and laid on top of my head, and as soon as that happened, the environment began to change and it got even brighter. I woke up and walked away from the source, which began to spin out of control.
Impossible! To my knowledge, only one person has been in the source and escaped it. How did you accomplish something like this?
As I walked out, I seemed normal, but a few seconds later, the amount of divine aura that emerged from my body was something beyond common sense. I felt so powerful that it felt like I had the power of creation. Now that you're there, let's have a rematch, shall we? Right now, I want to do nothing more than erase you from this planet.
