Chapter 2 - CHAPTER 2: END OF HIS ERA

"Hmm," a groaning sound was heard from the structure as the largest of the structure was carried up and a guy covered in blood walked out from the rubble.

"Poof" Wallace spat out a mouthful of blood and that blood acted as a trigger as blood continued streaming out from his mouth. His heartbeat is getting weaker and weaker as his body is also getting weaker. He closed his eyes as he looked at the large bundle of red energy inside him and ignited it. The heart was forcefully guarded as the blood streaming from his mouth finally stopped and he felt explosive strength in his body.

"I'm a fool," He said as he smiled.

"I should have known that no one can be trusted. How can I make the foolish mistake of saying that I trust some people who took me in and don't even know who I am or how can I say I trust the country or how can I say that I trust the lady after everything I've gone through in the first phase of my life. This is a well-deserved lesson for me but the price I've paid is just too high" he said as he smiled self-depreciatingly. Underneath his face is a tinge of pain of betrayal mixed with anger not at the people who tried to kill him but at himself for fully trusting a human being. The memories of his earlier days that he had fully suppressed came back to him in full force.

The emotions quickly receded to his face and were soon replaced by a look of madness that suppressed all the emotion.

"Angel" he muttered. As if listening to his voice, a part of the rubble was blasted out as a dark metallic armor arrived in front of him. The armor stands at over six feet tall just like his height, its body is stream rolled with white lines and wings expanding over one meter spread out from the wing.

"Time for revenge, the last revenge," he said as the armor turned into a liquid that rolled over his body and his body was soon covered in a a black metallic suit with wings expanding behind him except his head. He looked up in the sky,

"Let's go" He shouted at the sky and with a flutter of his wings, a sonic boom was heard and he disappeared from where he was. White spiral lines follow his trial.

A Maybach slowly drove into the compound of the Marts. Before the age of interplanetary traveling, the Marts family are the leader and founder of the Secret Agents Service in the USA. They are also the ones that adopted Wallace and when the era of super-soldiers started, their family rose to fame because they control a unit of super-soldiers that can not only perform various marvelous physical feats but also control elemental powers such as fire, and water, and other minor element and the credit all goes to Wallace. This led them to the most powerful family on earth that was not under the control of the federation.

The federation was established when the United States united the whole planet and they took control over every family. The Marts are the epitome of strength. The Maybach was parked in the underground park. A lady with blonde hair walked out, she's Lucy Hale, the fiancée Wallace. The guards bowed as a form of respect when they saw her. She walked into the house and went straight to the hall where she saw a man who looked like he was in his fifties with white hair sitting down. The man is the patriarch of the Marts family and the second strongest man alive.

"Dad" Lucy smiled as she walked towards the man and hugged him.

"How are you doing?" he asked.

"Not good, I can't even reveal my identity just because I want to be with that fool," She said.

"There's no problem now, he's dead so you don't need to hide your identity," the man said as he smiled at him.

"Hmm," She nodded her head.

"You can finally become the strongest man alive," She said excitedly.

"Hmm," the man nodded.

"What about mom?" he asked and his eyes shone with a fierce glint.

"She's gone out" He answered.

"You know you should not tell her about what happened because she will be devastated," He told her.

"No problem, it will be officially posted in the news tomorrow that Wallace Ace died from an unexpected terrorist attack" She answered.

"I should finally tell the federation, then I will finally get my position, they wanted him dead for a long time because no one will be willing to have a man that can easily control the whole federation. Your position will also be very high for accomplishing the mission" The man said.

"Yes, this is an undercover mission that took me eight years to complete," She said.

"So the federation also knows about this" A cold voice was heard outside the house and the father and daughter duo's expression changed when they heard the voice.

*************************

Earlier just after Lucy entered the house, a dark figure that blended in well with the night rushed into the compound. The bodyguard recognized him as Wallace and since he was part of the family, no one stopped him and he directly walked into the house, he listened to the conversation between the father and the daughter. His face was expressionless but the emotions in him were like raging waves.

"I already know that the federation will be aware of this but listening to it from your mouth makes me disappointed. Everything I know, I gave it to you and the federation because I was grateful to you people for finally making my light enter my life but you turned the light off yourself. I'm not disappointed in you but I'm disappointed in myself. I should not have trusted you people" he said as he finally sighed in disappointment as he looked at the man he regarded as his father.

"As for you" he turned to the lady whose face was already pale.

"I loved you but you poisoned me and pushed me into the abyss just because of your gain. It"s not so nice," He said. Alarms blared in the house as the guards rushed into the house but using the remote in his hand, he locked the door. The door will still give him a five-minute leeway before the advanced super-soldiers arrive.

"Let's fight it out, the last fight," he said. The man was already cladded in dark armor while the lady was cladded in white armor as they withdrew their weapon. The lady is using a sword that is almost ten inches long while the man is using a set of jagged chain that has daggers connected to their ends. Silvery liquid crept up his face as it covered his face and his gauntlet shone with a red light.

"There's something you've not learned from me, advanced forge-mastering. I finally created a a weapon that can harness the god's energy, you will be my first test subject" he smiled. The two could not help but look at the gauntlet in his hand with wariness.

Lightening roared out from their body and they directed it at Wallace.

"I'm the creator of abilities so I also know how to counter them," he said as the lightning already reached a meter away from him and they canceled themselves. Their face changed as they used different abilities against him but none was working. They decided to engage him in close combat because there was nothing they could do again.

"that's the greatest mistake you can ever make" he sneered and as if he teleported, he appeared in front of the man his gauntlet punched through his armor like a knife cutting through butter, and within a second the man's heart was already in his hand. Lucy's face paled when she saw what happened.

"Wallace look….." She wanted to talk but her head was crushed in the next second. The door was finally punched through as guys carrying firearms walked in through the door. Without talking, they directly showered him with bullets but the target disappeared, and heads rolled in the room as all the one hundred guards were killed one by one like chickens. He looked coldly at the corpse on the floor and flew again.

.

That night, the president of the federation was killed with his one thousand men guard buried with him. Blood flowed in the president's mansion like a river. The vice president and ten of the top-ranking officials of the federation were also killed that night. Blood flowed like the ocean. He broke into the federation research family and blinded by anger, he killed everyone ranging from the researchers to the workers to the guards and even those doing miscellaneous jobs before detonating the research center and disappearing.

The following morning news spread like wildfire about the destruction of the Marts family with the murder of the president and his one thousand guards the vice president and also the ten ranking official destruction of the research facilities and the the final disappearance of the hero of mankind. Wallace Ace. Everyone speculated it was all done by terrorists because his place was also razed to the ground. One week later, his body is found in a deserted cave sitting down while all signs of life have left him. This marked the end of an era. Wallace Ace era to be precise.
