Rage Calmed


Ben's POV.

I don't understand what happened after I put that ring on, but I was so angry for some reason. All I remember is that I put on that ring, coughed up blood, and then a strangely dark oath rang through my head. I recited it, and must've been transported to the ring's point of origin. I also remember hitting a chunk of land while my eyes were closed, so I don't know exactly where I ended up.

But when I opened them, I could see that I was on a black stone that was surrounded by a literal red sea. I also saw that I was now wearing some strange sort of armor, but I didn't care at that point. My anger was still so high, and I could hear this semi-demonic voice in my head telling me to do one thing.

"Destroy…! Hate…! Kill…!"

Trusting my more primal instincts, I looked out at this ocean of blood and released a roar so powerful, it blew up a small island from the sound's concussive force alone!

I didn't do anything on the outside, but on the inside I was grinning like a madman. This power is incredible! With this at my disposal, I can defeat the Shinigami and his forces hands down! But then my more rational train of thought put in its opinion. If this red ring was giving me more power, then surely the Shinigami has something to counter this new ability.

ARRRGH! Arguments with myself are always so confusing!

I'd get back to this conversation with myself later. Right now, I could sense three other power sources nearby. And they were definitely strong.

I stood up from the kneeling position I was in, and looked in the direction of the energy levels. I saw that there were two women and a… is that a house cat with blue fur and a ring on its tail? Oh well, I'll think about that later.

Because right now, the ring was telling me to do the one thing that I normally would not be so inclined to do. And I summed it up in just a single word.

"DESTROY!"

"WAY TO GO, DEX, YOU JINXED US!" the first woman said as she created a shield construct.

"HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW HE'D GO ALL CRAZY ON US?!" the cat asked.

I immediately saw the shield in front of me, but I was too angry to care. I just reared back my fist and punched the construct with enough power to make the planet tremble. When that didn't work, I repeated this action multiple times in my attempt to bust through the shield. And I noticed that with each punch and kick, the planet shook and the construct cracked more and more. The woman who created it was visibly straining to keep her shield intact as I channeled all of my available rage and power.

"DAMN IT! CURSE THIS STUPID SHIELD! IT'S NOTHING BUT A PAIN IN MY BUTT!" I thought to myself in anger.

Finally, I got fed up with punching, took a deep breath, and shot a huge stream of burning hot Plasma from my mouth! The concussive force and the heat of the plasma was enough to punch through the construct, and force the strangers to dodge. But the bluish grey skinned woman didn't get away unscathed. She got severe burns on her right leg and most of her arm.

She would've fallen into the red sea had her pain tolerance not been so great. The girl with lavender colored skin seemed to realize that I was too strong for them to take on by themselves. Not wanting to give them any time to fight back, I instinctively thrust my fist forward and shot a blast of red energy from my ring.

She managed to dodge the blast, but I quickly created my own light construct. I chose a giant golf club, and swung at her with all I had.

"FORE!" I cried out.

I hit my target and sent this woman flying towards a different part of the planet. If I were a little calmer, I'd probably call that a hole in one. But I had no time to do anything else as I felt a severe pain in the back of my head. I started falling at incredible speeds as I saw that I was hit by that cat's hammer construct.

"Nobody hurts my friends while I'm still breathing!"

That was the last thing I heard before I went under the water… only to find out that it was literally BLOOD! I WAS GONNA DROWN IN A SEA OF BLOOD! But as I struggled to get to the surface, not only could I feel myself going unconscious, I could feel myself calming down.

"The rage… the bloodlust… vanishing…!"

All I saw was someone diving in after me before my world went black.
