Jaws Of Fate

  "They caught sight of our land," Melania said in the operation room.

    "Some of few Legion party heading our eastern wall. Our stronghold is no power against them." a soldier said.

    The room become chaos as the plans weren't developed yet. Everyone went resentful for waiting for Akira, their General war. "He's not good at strategy, fool." an officer said.

    "Hey, you didn't know after a million wars, he brought victoriously."

    "But, I prefer Tomioka. He is the best leader and strategist. He could bring us against them." Kazumi, a friend of Akira.

    "Well, you don't know that both of them were not too close." Amelia just comes into the room calmly.

    "But we have no other choice. The West provoked us in front of our wall. We should make our alliance with him." Kazumi said.

    Then the chaos turns silent. There's something not above a peaceful level. "Our Queen." a soldier said. As the main door opens, Lisa Fujiwara goes in with her eye mask that her husband gave her. Golden with steampunk art, full of noble jewels but not whole. Everyone in the room bows down as they saw her.

    "Where is Akira?" she asked.

    "He's busy with his own business," Andrew said.

    Soon, they're planning for the strategy. Suddenly, Lisa heard a voice a familiar voice. She thought of Akira. So, she goes out for a look but no one is there. She kept searching and she saw a white glitchy entity in front of her. It goes inside her room slowly, and she follows it. As she finds, a man standing next to the bed, with his staff and his white cloak. "Well well, the Queen of the Three Rings. How wonderful," he said.

    "Akira?"

    "Erroneous."

    "Then? Who are you?" she was confused. The guy she saw was similar to Akira, yet he was not.

    "Respectfully, I'm your father," he claimed.

--------------------------------π--------------------------------

    "Where's Lisa?" Akira arrived at the room.

    "I thought she searched you," Andres said. Akira searches for her this time.

     He walks every room and space, asks the maidens and workers, and he searches everywhere in the castle. None. Not even a single thread of cloth from her.

    Akira...

    Akira...

    Akira...

    A voice, a provocation, a calling. "Takeru..." he said resentfully. He kept following it until he found a door. "This door."

    "Papa." Hinata founds him and she realized something. "Since when has the door existed here?"

    "You should've told the mages about this, Hinata," Akira said.

    "This door should be exiled fast."

    "No."

    Hinata looks at her father, full of hesitation. Not knowing what is his thought. He opens the door and the solid darkness inside. His eyes stare at it and go in without a coward inside. Hinata follows him, yet Amelia shouts her name. As she turns back to it, the door disappears. "Papa?"

 

  Dear?

            Are you there?

                     Where are you?

       Don't leave me dying

    (Explosion)

    An explosion on the wall forced it to break through. All the battalion marches in front, holding the wall and trying their best to protect their empire and their families. "Kameraden!!! It's your day to see your fate. Fate on your lives. Gamble it. Don't take it for granted. It's your duty amongst us all." Amelia shouted to her soldiers. "As you are still alive, you will be our next hero, but as you die, you will lead us to our Tengoku!!"

    All of them roared. They're ready. And as the door opens, the war begins epic. Melania was on the humvee with a machine gun, and they pushed forward. "Surī ringu no idai-sa o manoatarinisuru!!" Melania shout while accurately shooting at the Legions. The Battalion most of them wields a blade and guns. And so do the battle drums, the beats simultaneously follow the sword's clash.

    Meanwhile, Akira is in the dark room, searching, noticing something. A light. Shines towards him. And the sounds keep calling his name. "You can't hide from us," it whispered.

    "Seraph..."

    Soon, an Apostle strikes him. Akira blocks it and soon he saw it, Takeru is what he saw. They fight with blades, and parry like dances, fire, and sparks, they can't stop. "It's been a while, big brother." Taker said.

    "Where is my wife!!!" Akira screamed.

    Takeru laughed, chaining Akira with his spirited chains and kicking his face with his knees. Flashy, Takeru raises Akira's head, showing some scenes for him. Akira's eye got opened wide, as he saw his wife, Lisa, r*ped hard with another titan, chained like him too. Akira and Lisa face each other eye to eye. The sorrow of Lisa and the anger of Akira. "A...Akira... Help..."

    The heartbeats, the same situation, he already knew this could happen. But, not.... Not this...

 

    A massive explosion under the great darkness, blazing its skins off, turning to embers. Lisa lays down on the floor, looking at her husband's berserk energy. She mutters with unknown words she said.

    "TAKERU!!!!!!!" he screamed.

    Akira is still in chains watching his wife lie down. Takeru goes in front of him, with his innocent eyes of Takeru, then he goes to Lisa and continues the 'ritual'. Akira pulls the static chain hard with his only bare hand. "I'm finally near to my final form. Elden Apostle." Takeru said.

      His eye with blazing flames turns black, keeps pulling it that is unbreakable. Lisa calls his name slowly as she's helpless to hold. His eyes once again turn white and he screams distorted. And, he breaks the unbreakable chains that haunted him since before. "TAKERU!!!!!"

       All the Legions suddenly gathered around and stop him from getting closer to their master. Akira pulls out his both blades instantaneously which dices almost half of them. Turning the scenery with rain blood and Akira throws his spiritual spear covered with chains at Takeru, yet it breaks as Takeru saw it. After that, Akira quickly goes at him and stabs his chest. He didn't bleed. "Hahaha... Akira... Akira... Akira..." he laughed.

       " Don't make me do this, Takeru."

       Takeru looks at Akira's necklace, which glows bright red and is in the shape of a Crystal. "Hehehe, Seraphim," Takeru said, and suddenly the scenery disappears in the explosion.

-------------------------------π--------------------------------

       ...

       ...

       Pa...

       Papa!!

      As Akira opens his eyes, the skyscrapers turn into ruins, all it seems is ashes and dead bodies, burned or slaughtered, or worse. Luckily, Hinata and Amelia were next to him as he blackout. "Where's your mother?"

       "She's fine, she's at the tent," Hinata said. Akira seems to be confused. When he finds his necklace, it's still there. He quickly goes for his wife.

        Every tent he goes to, he finally found one of the tents that she sits in. She sits quietly, shakes in anxiety, and is heavily in tears. "Lisa?" Akira said.

        As he saw her neck, a crest developed, and as he saw the parts of her body, her hair is half red and white, and her eyes is orange on the left and yellow on the right. When she saw Akira, she quickly goes to him and hugs him tightly. "Please, don't leave me. Please," she begs in tears. Moments later, he saw the body of her glows with embers in orange.

          "You're not angry, aren't you?" Akira said.

          She shakes her head as she denied it. She's just too scared. Her body was so cold and shaken like goosebumps.

          Your power. You never had this except me, he said himself. Could her powers get adopted with his powers after the ritual back then? Or perhaps, she is one of them?
