The heat melted iron. Each step it took melted the ground. Each time it passed a building, the place would spontaneously combust. Every living creature that saw it burned in a fury. Seoul had become a sea of flames. It marched to forward, never stopping until everything was ash. It only had one mission; to destroy any and all things; to return the earth to its primordial state of a giant ball of fire.
Hyung was chained in his body. He was effectively dead. There was no life left in him. His life was shattered before his eyes. Nothing could change that. What could he do? Nothing except watch the world burn before his eyes. He looked out to see the chaos that was happening and chuckled. Maybe destruction isn't that bad.
A helicopter swooned over the Seoul fire. "Sir! We've found the source! It appears to be marching towards Incheon" said the pilot. These were military men that were sent to stop the fires from burning down Korea. A strikingly beautiful woman who appeared to be in control ordered from her seat at the back of the flying machine "Give me visual" "Yes sir! The source appears to be a walking flame" "You know what lying to me can cause you" "Sir, that's what I see". The lady walked up to the cockpit and gestured to be passed a pair of binoculars. She looked and she saw a person on fire. "Get me to the headquarters". The line buzzed and a voice came through
"General Sonyeo, have you gotten to your location?" "Yes sir. Sir, the source of the fire appears to be a person" "Are you sure about this?" "Yes Sir. I am very sure" "Neutralize the target" "Yes sir!"
She steps away to the dark rear of the helicopter and resurfaces with a special uniform that glowed a bright blue. Wearing her helmet that covered her eyes, she goes to the open door. Recognizing the presence of the other soldiers that were dressed in the same glowing uniform as her, she says "Men! This may be your last mission. We have been ordered to neutralize a potentially powered being" She notices the fear in their eyes and looks away from them "I'm scared too but I'll fight. I'll fight for the innocent lives that were lost from this being. Even if we die, we'll forever remain as the heroes that stopped this incursion on Korea. Men! Let us fight and die as heroes than submit and live as dogs". The men stood and saluted their commander, strengthened by her words, decided to die for their country and they rushed out and jumped from the helicopter. She looked at the last one and nodded her head. As he jumped down, she went over to the pilot and shook his hand "It was nice working with you" "Thank you, General Sonyeo!" Walking over to the strong wind that generated from the open door, she shouted to the pilot "LIVE!! THAT'S AN ORDER" and jumped off into the sea of flames that burnt the ground. The pilot looked at her and tears dropped from his eyes "I'll live" and the helicopter flew off.
The body, uncaring about its surroundings, walked forward. The men that landed first grouped around themselves. Their uniforms glowed brighter and emitted a wave of cooling air around them. The uniforms had been specially designed for fiery environments and could withstand most thermal attacks against its user. General Sonyeon walked up to them and said "We're to kill the target. These suits were made for this. Are your guns fitted with the freeze rounds?" she asked. Each of the six men brought out their rifles, each fitted with rounds of freezing bullets. "Good. Now, I'll make an opening and you'll shoot it" "Yes sir!"
The men ran to the target and walked slowly behind the flaming body. They were careful not to provoke it. Sonyeon looked at the body and thought "How's that body able to withstand that amount of heat? Even my suit is at half capacity just by being near it"
"Crkkkkkkk" sounded the freezing guns and a blast of water shot towards the blazing body. The water super cooled and instantly froze the target. The men thought it had worked but it melted as soon as it formed. Looking at their general in shock, she gestured them to keep shooting.
Sounds of growing ice could barely be heard because of the sounds of boiling water. The men kept unloading packs of ice of the body. Sonyeon started to warm up and got into a stance, putting a knee to the ground and pulling her two blades from their sheath. Her suit glowed a bright blue and the blades responded. Ice grew at her feet and she breathed cold air. Her eyes appeared to be a shade of bright blue. The body was slowly getting annoyed and looked at one of the men who had shot at it. The other men took this split second and shot tens of freeze rounds into the body. Sonyeon saw this chance and took it.
"Iai Stage Three: Splitting the Heavens"
Sonyeon disappeared and appeared in front of the body. A streak of light followed and the body was sliced in half. She stood and her sweat was droplets of ice. She looked at her work and smiled. She blinked and saw no one. All her men dropped to the ground as ash. Their uniforms could not save them. The body she cut was whole. It had no sign of being split in half. The mouth opened and said
"Get...…out...…of...…..my....way"
Sonyeon stood still. Her mind flashed through all the times she had had spent with the men. Her body raged. Anger went through her veins. Anger that she couldn't protect them. Anger at the being that massacred them. She seethed with rage. She had turned feral.
She jumped at the body with such force that the body flew back. Slashes flew that the body that didn't retaliate. She kicked it and it flew backwards. Rushing again at it, she sliced at it without a stance
"Iai Stage Six: Slice 'n Dice"
The body was sliced upwards and diced to little pieces. She appeared at its back and didn't let up
"Iai Stage Nine: Raging Storms!"
Sonyeon cut at it but felt no impact. Her vision suddenly turned upside down. She saw her body standing. Her head had been removed. The body walked off like nothing happened. She could only watch. Watch the destruction of all things with helpnessness and desperation.
