Blood filled the ground. Dismembered limbs lay around, filling the air with an acrid smell as they rotted. Spiked chains could be seen with human flesh on them. Mirai lay in the midst of this. He had been subjected to this pain for years. He had stopped counting at the four hundredth day. His mind had gone numb. He could only anticipate one thing….. Pain. He could only say one word... Please. His life had become subject to this feeling. His body, an embodiment of suffering.
Time walked in and saw Mirai lying in the pool of his blood. His fingers had been broken and his tongue, cut off. Stabs filled his body and bled furiously. "Mirai, don't worry. It'll end soon" she smiled. Her hand was stretched forth towards him and a blue energy descended on him. "AHHHHHHH!!!!" screamed Mirai as his body was getting turned back in time, making him feel the pain he went through. His tears ran down his cheeks. Time took him by the arm and dragged his limp body on the ground. She threw him into a large metallic chamber. He lay in it, lifelessly.
"Mirai, this thing will crush your body and at the same time, melt it down. Now, I could let you go if you just agree to concede your soul to me. Won't you, Mirai?" she smiled at the body that lay beneath her. Mirai didn't answer. "Mirai? Mirai?" Her smile slowly dissipated and her face was contorted in anger. Time grabbed him up and threw him to the ground. She grabbed his face and used it to break it metal walls. "JUST FUCKIN LET GO!!! LET GO!!! LET GO!!!" she screamed as she banged his head against the walls, causing dents on the metal. She brought Mirai's face to hers and spat on him. She threw him to the metal ground and walked away. "Wait…" called Mirai. His voice was extremely weak. She turned around with a huge smile and thought "The animal is finally going to accept it. Who would have thought it would take hundreds of years? He's pretty impressive". Mirai smiled with his bloodied mouth. Half his teeth were missing and his face was covered in blood. He opened his one working eye and brought up his right hand. His middle finger rose higher than the rest.
"Fuck you"
Time looked at Mirai's hands and veins popped on her head. She turned and walked away and said "It's like those fingers are still working". Mirai looked at the metal he was in and tears dropped from his eyes. Spikes came out of the walls and it started compressing. The metal heated till it was white. Mirai could not handle the crushing of his bones and the burning of his skin. "AHHHHHHH!!!!" His screams rang throughout the plane. Time simply watched him suffer and thought "When will he give up?"
Something fell from the sky. Its impact caused a massive explosion to rock the town. It was Hyung and Mirai's body. Hyung stood up with the cracks in his skin repairing themselves. He heard guards coming towards their location and he took Mirai's body, running away from the crater that they formed. Rain fell heavily in the Midtown. The heat that was formed had caused this. Guards surveyed the town, looking for the intruders that caused this. They had been ordered to kill the intruders on sight.
A guard came upon a house. The family that lived there had all been killed except the little baby that cried in his cradle. The guard ignored the child and looked around the house. He saw blood stains around the house. "Hello, this is Number 26. Please come to Street 11, House 4. This place looks suspicious" he said into his transmitter. He waited outside for some minutes and saw his comrades walk up to him. "What's wrong with the house?" one of them asked as they walked into it. "Look around, there are bloodstains. The people that died were found in the middle of town. Someone is here or has been here" the first guard explained. They readied their weapons and stealthily investigated the area.
There was creaking sound. Footsteps were heard. The guards all looked at the direction they heard it. Something moved and one of them had his face to the ground. The guards couldn't react and the other one had his face to the wall, causing it to break. The last one stood and watched silently. He took out his knife and stabbed himself in the chest. Hyung appeared before him and saw he had killed himself. Mirai's body was on his back. "I still don't have the medicine" he thought. He took a step and heard a sound. A loud ticking sound. "What?" There was an explosion that blew the entire house up in flames. Hyung walked out unscathed with the baby in his arms. "This people have really gone mad. I didn't think they would sacrifice themselves" he thought. He heard a lot of people running to the location and dropped the baby. The guards reached there a little late; Hyung had already left.
The city centre of Midtown was bustling with people. It was like a massacre hadn't just taken place there. People walked over the dead corpse like they weren't there. Hyung walked through the crowd with a cloak that covered his body. He blended in and moved to the pharmacy that Mirai had gone to earlier. Quickly, he exchanged money and he bought the drugs that Sonyeo needed to live. He walked speedily through the crowd but he was pushed left and right. He had to be calm so that people wouldn't notice. However, he didn't notice the author watching over him from the sky. The reader was with the author. "Hey" said the writer. "Watch this"
Hyung's cloak suddenly fell off and the guards that patrolled the centre instantly recognised his face. "Fuck!!" exclaimed Hyung. He ran to the place he left Mirai's body, dodging the arrows that were shot at him. He took Mirai's body and went through the crowd, using them to escape from the hundreds of guards that were now chasing him. Suddenly, Mirai's body started shaking and blood dripped out from it. His body was having violent spasms and making groans of pain. "C'mon, what's wrong with you?" Hyung thought as he ran through the city.
Mirai's hands were in chains and metal rods pierced his body. He couldn't scream and just hung there, lifeless. "Mirai, it's been four hundred years now. Just give up. This hurts me too" Time said, looking at the torture she had put Mirai through. She walked up to him and thrust one of the rods deeper into his flesh. Mirai winced in pain. "Mirai Muru, no one will save you. Your life is worthless. I just need you to break" she said and thrust another one into his legs. "C'mon, Break" she kept saying as she kept thrusting the rods into his flesh. Mirai looked at her and smiled weakly "He's coming"
Hyung stopped and looked at Mirai's body that had been bleeding. The body's eyes suddenly opened and its lips spoke. Hyung was surprised but moved his ears close to Mirai's mouth so he would hear his words. It spoke with a tiny voice
"Help"
A bright light blasted through the sky. The guards ran to the source of the light. They saw Hyung levitating with Mirai's body. Their leader jumped into the light without hesitating and followed Hyung and Mirai upward. Suddenly, the light stopped. They had disappeared and all who looked at it went blind.
Hyung landed in Mirai's plane. It was empty. He looked around the desolate place. "MIRAI!!" he called out but his voice rang out for none to hear. He looked for Mirai's body but didn't see it. "MIRAI!!!!" he called again. He walked a little and saw Mirai in chains with the rods sticking out of him. Time walked towards him with anger in her face.
"How did you get here?" she asked. Hyung ignored her and looked at his friend chained up. He asked calmly "Are you the one who did this?" Time chuckled and said "Yes. What can you do about it?" There was a sudden spike of heat. Flames burst from Hyung's eyes and his hair burnt. The plane melted in various spots. The hotness surpassed that of the Sun greatly. He pointed at Time and said
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU"
