Chapter 9 - Spirits of the Past:Megaflare

Cody woke up finding himself in his old bed before he became Megaflare. When he walked into the kitchen he saw his father cooking breakfast "Dad" Cody said."Good Morning son I made us some breakfast" his father said as they both sat down. "I was thinking that maybe today we can catch a game" he proposed "Dad we both know this isn't real I'm here to learn from the wisdom of all past Megaflares" Cody said. "Son your Megaflare and as such one day down the road you're going to do something that will hurt you, but it'll for the greater good and it will lead to the suffering of those that you love," his father said "No I wouldn't I would never," Cody said."But you will and when that day comes I hope you're ready, for it will break you as it did me," his father said "Who was it was mom wasn't it, "Cody said as he realized what he had done and his father just kept eating his food. "You told me she died in a car accident, what did you do.....WHAT DID YOU DO"Cody screamed with anger and tears in his eyes. His father kept eating his food "It was four months after you were born me and your mother wanted to keep you away from the war as far as possible, but then Agri sent his spirit minions to recruit me for the war, but I refused so it possessed your mother. He threatened to kill your mother if I didn't come with him, however your mother she was strong in her last moments all she wanted was to keep you safe, so she begged me to kill her so I held the gun up to her head I closed my eyes and when I opened them I already pulled the trigger" he said."How could you do that if you loved her, "Cody said, but his father just kept eating his food. He knocked his food off the table. "HOW COULD YOU JUST SIT HERE AND EAT DIDN'T YOU LOVED HER"Cody screamed ."OF COURSE I DID I HAD TO MURDER MY OWN WIFE I HAD TO LIE TO MY OWN SON DO YOU HONESTLY THINK THAT I WOULD DO THOSE THINGS FOR FUN MY CONCERN WAS TO KEEP YOU SAFE FOR THE GREATER GOOD" his father screamed. "WHAT GREATER GOOD YOU KILLED YOUR WIFE AND LIED TO ME NO GREATER GOOD IS WORTH KILLING YOUR OWN WIFE FOR"Cody screaming more tears rolling down his face. "I just wanted to protect you," he said."I understand, but you're a monster" Cody said "You want my wisdom here it is you must sacrifice what you love in order for the greater good," his father said as he faded away. Cody found himself on a battlefield filled with dead bodies, but in front of him stud a man with white hair in a black war suit "Who are you"Cody asked "I am Megaflare Henry" the man said "What happened here" Cody asked "It was a long time ago in my early days before I joined up with the Arc Blazers I was a mercenary.I participated in a war where my side won after the war the people through me a heroes feast when I left I saw something I had killed all those men alright, and because I did the people I fought for the side that wanted to take control of an entire region. So while I ate at my feast and collected my reward innocent people died somewhere ripped from their home I leave this wisdom for you Cody when you enter a war always know what your fighting for"Henry said as he vanished. Cody woke up on top of a building and in front of him he saw a man with brown in a black stealth suit getting ready to snipe down someone "So nice of you to come and help.Cody I'm Megaflre Amu yea need something"the man asked "I want to know the past wisdom of the Megaflares of the past"Cody said "You must know your enemy just look down here the man in a white is a priest he was considered to be an enemy, but when I sniped him down the city suffered all hell broke out people by the end of the year the entire city fell I leave this wisdom for know your enemy"Amu said as he faded away. Cody soon found himself in a graveyard where at a grave a man in a black outfit with black hair was kneeling down leaving flowers. "Who are you," he asked "I am Megaflare John and I was just leaving some flowers for my wife and all of these people," the man said."What happened here Cody asked "The place wasn't always a graveyard in my life after the Arc Blazers disbanded I became lost until I met the love of my life she would later become my wife, yet still I continued being Megaflare she got worried for me, so one day here in this beautiful village one of my enemies was going to set off a bomb that was going to kill everyone my wife came to confront me.I didn't think I stopped my enemy alright, but in doing so the bomb went off I protected myself however after the bomb went off and when the screaming stopped this place became nothing more than a valley full of dead bodies it took me three days to find the body of my wife you want some wisdom Cody here it is above all else fight for the ones you love, "John said as he vanished away.Finally, Cody found himself in a house at a table with an old man in a black outfit with gray hair who was pouring tea "Who are you"Cody asked "I am Peter the original Megaflare" the man said sitting down drinking his tea "What am I doing"Cody asked "You wanted some wisdom from some of the past Megaflares didn't you well I'm here to give you mine in my time this is where I lived in exile" Peter said."Exile what did you do"Cody asked "In my day after the Arc Blazers imprisoned Agri we began to maintain balance throughout the Astral Plane and the entire multiverse, but when the original Fallen Angel wanted to keep going I led the team into betraying him and leaving him as I settled down news speraded that the Fallen Angel had died. Because of this I went into exile here it's my fault if I hadn't cohersed the team into leaving him he wouldn't have been killed here is my wisdom for you always stand by your team and above all else stand by your leader" Peter said as he faded away. Cody became consumed by a bright white light.
