PROJECT: Earth

Chapter 13: Festival of chaos

I opened my eyes slowly and let out a soft groan as my eyes adjusted to the light in the bedroom. The apartment had a beautiful bedroom with large windows and velvet drapes, which Nathalie and I forgot to close last night after we got home. Not that it was a surprise, we were just a little busy with eachother.

I rolled over and carefully hugged Nathalie who was still sleeping. I got closer to her ear and whispered carefully. ''What do you want for breakfast?'' I waited a moment for a response but the only one I got was Nathalie shifting and murmuring a bit.

''Sorry I didn't catch that. Would you mind repeating?'' I said a bit drowsy.

''Eeeeeeeggs.'' She groaned half asleep. I chuckled at my girlfriend's request and got up. I picked up my discarded t-shirt from last night and put it on. I walked through to the bedroom carefully not to step on any of the other pieces of clothes discarded on the floor. Leaving a sleeping Nathalie in the bedroom.

I walked into the kitchen and started to prepare some eggs and bacon for Nathalie. While waiting for the food to cook I turned on the TV in the kitchen and searched for the news. Maybe there's something about the attack from yesterday on.

I switched the TV over to the news and just like I thought there was footage being played of Alisha fighting with what looked like Mecha Kha'Zix? She was giving it to the mechanical bug. She was busy dodging every attack thrown her way and beating the crap out of Kha'Zix. The footage ended with her literally beheading the machine with one swift strike.

''As you can see ladies and gentleman, strange things have been happening around the city states. More and more of these characters seem to pop up every day.'' The anchorwoman said.

''Some of them seem to protect others and some seem to only cause trouble in our peaceful city.'' The other anchorwoman said. ''More news on these champion sighting after the break.''

I let out a sigh and put the eggs and bacon on a plate for Nathalie. I walked back into the bedroom and noticed Nathalie still sleeping in bed. Time to have some fun…

''C'mon get up, I got you your breakfast.'' I said earning a groan from Nathalie as she turned back to me, completely exposing her nearly naked back.

''Nooooo, lemme sleep.'' She said sleepily. I put the food next to the bed and got closer to her. I quickly pinched her butt making her shoot up.

''MARK WHAT THE HELL.'' She screamed covering her exposed chest with the sheets of the bed.

''Hmmm strange… That's not how you reacted last night.'' I said grinning. I grabbed the plate with food and gave it to her. ''Oh forgive fair maiden for my inappropriate behavior.'' I said bowing down before her grinning all the same.

''Sure, whatever just give me the plate.'' Nathalie said snatching the plate from my hands and chewing down on some bacon, pretending to be angry with me. ''Ah, I forgot how good of a cook you were.'' She complimented still chewing on the bacon.

''Heh, see? I can be a good boyfriend.'' I said dropping down next to her. ''Care to share that with me?''

''How about no? You had enough to eat yesterday.'' Nathalie said petting my exposed stomach. ''Wouldn't want you to gain weight and ruin that perfect body of yours.''

''Hey, easy on the sarcasm. That's my job.'' I rolled out of the bed and stood up. ''Well if you're not going to share I might aswell take a bath.''

''You do that and make sure the water's nice and warm.'' She said stuffing her face with egg.

''You know the tub is big enough for the both of us.'' I said poking my head back into the bedroom.

''Fine I'll join you in a second, you perv.'' Nathalie said, her mouth full of food.

''Just take your time and enjoy your breakfast. I'm not going anywhere without you.'' I joked readying the tub.

After throwing in a bathbomb I carefully felt if the water was too hot or not. The feeling of warm water on my cold feet was a great one. I took off my t-shirt and underwear and sat down in the tub waiting for it to fill up.

I heard a pair of footsteps pass the bathroom and the sound of a plate being put down in the sink. I guess Nath decided it was time to get out of bed… The footsteps got closer to the bathroom again and this time the door flung open. Nathalie walked in and started to undress what little she was wearing and got in the tub with me, blushing slightly. She rested against me with her back before letting out a soft moan of approval.

''This is nice.'' She whispered, making herself comfortable in the tub.

''This is great. Heh remember Monday when you laid against me like this? Who would have thought you'd be doing it again by the end of the week.'' I said chuckling a bit.

''I'd rather forget that scary day.'' Nathalie said. ''Being a hostage isn't really my hobby.''

''The whole day? Everything that happened that day?'' I said nudging her a bit.

''No not everything you goof, most of it.'' We shared a couple of laughs before going back to enjoying the moment together. For atleast half an hour there was complete silence between us. Both of us where completely lost in the warmth of the bath (and eachother's company.).

Until my phone rang. I got out of the tub with a groan, dried myself off a bit and put a towel on, before walking into the bedroom and picking up the phone. This better be important…

''Hello, hello?'' I greeted the person on the other side of the call.

''Mark? It's mom. Emily and I are on the way over. We'll be there in about twenty minutes.'' My mom said happily. ''I hope I didn't wake you up.''

''Or interrupted something!'' Emily yelled.

''No it's fine. We'll be ready by then.'' I said. Searching for the two boxes with the dress and sun hat I bought for Nathalie and put them on the bed.

''Great see you later sweetie.'' My mom said hanging up. I let out a sigh and put away my phone. I picked out some clean clothes and put those on. I walked into the living room turning on the TV.

''Who was that?'' I heard Nathalie ask from inside the bathtub.

''My mom. She'll be here in about twenty minutes, so you might want to get dressed.'' I forgot to tell Nathalie, clever…

''Got ya! I'll be with you in a minute.'' Nathalie said cheerful as she got out of the bath.

I closed my eyes for a moment and readied for Nathalie to be amazed by my gifts. A few minutes passed and I heard the bedroom door open.

''Mark what are these boxes doing on the bed?'' Nathalie asked confused walking into the living room with the boxes.

''They're gifts I got for you. You can't go to the festival wearing the same clothes you did last year right?'' I quoted her.

''Oh no you didn't.'' Nathalie gasped as she opened the big box. She pulled the white dress out of the box covering her mouth with her free hand. ''Oh my god Mark. So you where the one who bought the last one.''

''What do you mean by that?'' I asked raising an eyebrow.

''Well… when I got to the store two days ago the man from before said he just sold the last one. I thought he was kind of a dick for laughing at me, but now I understand.'' Nathalie explained putting the dress on.

''Well what can I say, it really looks good on you.'' I complimented her. ''That and I felt bad for you. You're always so worried about me. So I hope this makes it up a bit.'' I said giving her a weak smile.

''Oh Mark it's perfect.'' She said hugging me tightly. ''I also got you something. Close your eyes, no peeking heehee.'' She said giggling.

''Ok, you can open them now.'' She said. When I opened my eyes I was met with something I haven't seen in years.

''My old leather jacket. Where did you find this? Not to mention how did you get it to look this nice?'' I said trying it on.

''Well when I stayed with you I saw it laying around your room and that gave me a nice idea for the festival since we didn't find anything for you in the city.'' Nathalie explained. ''So I brought it to a custom tailor and had it restored.''

''This thing has been through so much, remember the first day of college when I fell into the water at that survival activity.'' I laughed a bit.

''Hahaha, yeah it was completely ruined after that day. I knew you really liked that jacked. That's why I had it restored.'' Nathalie said smiling.

''It looks good on you Mark.'' Yi complimented. ''You two look nice together, almost like Lamb and Wolf with the black and white.''

''Who?'' Nathalie asked confused?

''Lamb and Wolf are the entities of death in Valoran. Lamb is the compassionate side and offers a peaceful death while Wolf is the less compassionate side, he chases prey that doesn't accept death and bites them to shreds.'' Yi explained. ''Now that I think of it, not the greatest comparison, hehe.''

''Well you didn't mention that the one is never without the other. That makes for a decent comparison, right?'' I quickly added.

''Yeah, that really sounds sweet.'' Nathalie said putting on the straw hat that matched her dress.

Ding-dong.

We were interrupted by the doorbell. ''Hmmm. They must be early.'' Nathalie said. I opened the door and my mother and sister stood in the doorway. Both hugged me as I let them into the apartment.

''Wow this place is huge.'' Emily said looking around the apartment. ''Not to mention it looks expensive.''

''You guys have a nice few.'' My mom said looking out of the window.

''I sure do.'' I said looking at Nathalie.

''Hey lover boy, my eyes are up here.'' Nathalie said smiling. ''I know I look good.''

''You do look really nice Nathalie, is that a new dress?'' Emily asked her.

''Mark got it for me. You like it?'' She said twirling around, showing off every part of the dress.

''It looks beautiful. Especially with the hat.'' Emily complimented. ''Wait, Mark bought this for you? That can't be.''

''Emily don't you dare start something, were already running late as it is.'' My mom said giving her a serious look.

''Wait you guys were running late? We woke up like fifty minutes ago.'' I said scratching the back of my head.

''Man, it must be relaxed to be able to take it that easy.'' Emily said putting her hands behind her head.

''It sure is.'' Nathalie said putting on a pair of shoes. ''Now let's have some fun at the festival!'' She said throwing her hands into the air making the sunhat fall of her head.


''Come on! Come on! You guys are so slow! Hurry up were missing the parade!'' Emily said walking ahead of us.

''Are you sure she's fourteen? She acts more like an eight year old.'' I joked earning me a glare from Emily.

''For your information I just really like the spring festival. The parade is so colorful and happy and afterwards the mayor gives a speech, which is less Interesting but I guess it's tradition.'' Emily explained to me.

''Look there's some free space over there!'' Nathalie and Emily ran towards the spot between the hordes of people trying to enjoy the show.

''Emily wasn't wrong when she said that we were missing the parade this is the end already… ''

''A shame really, everything looks nice.'' Yi communicated mentally.

''The parade is one of those things you need to be really early for, otherwise you aren't going to get a spot.'' I explained to Yi. ''It's way too crowded for me, so I just stand at the side lines or just wait for it to be over.''

''I noticed. The people seem really excited about the activities at the festival.'' Yi said cheerful.

''You seem to really light up when it comes to these kind of things, you're enjoying yourself aswell aren't you Yi?'' I said smirking.

''There's no need to deny it. Yes, I truly enjoy this. Seeing people enjoy themselves and spend time with their loved ones. It assures me we're doing the right thing fighting Viktor.'' I smiled at Yi's comment and I had to say I agreed with him.

''Mark? Helloooo?'' A hand flew up and down in front of my face breaking up the conversation I had with Yi.

''Hmmm? What is it?'' I asked Emily and noticed my mom and her staring at me.

''I asked if you wanted to get some food.'' Emily said annoyed.

''Ehh sure let's.'' I nodded in agreement. ''Lead the way ladies.'' Emily and my mom walked ahead. Nathalie on the other hand held on to my hand.

''Where you having a conversation with Yi?'' She asked smiling at me.

''Indeed we were.'' Yi spoke up. ''This festival is nice. I told Mark I'm really enjoying it.''

''That's great!'' Nathalie said cheerfully.

''Hey lovebirds, you coming or what?'' Emily yelled from afar. Making us laugh in the process. If only she knew how much I love Nathalie…

After getting a bunch of food we looked for a spot to sit down. Tables were set up around a large stage for the mayor to give his speech and lucky for us there were still a few free tables. We sat near the stage, ready to eat when my phone rang again. Strange, I've never seen that number before…

''Hello? Who's this?'' I asked confused

''Mark… It's me…'' I heard Alisha her voice being interrupted by clashing metal and screeches. ''Are you at the festival?''

''Ofcourse. Why are you asking?'' I said slightly panicked at the background noises.

''I'm going to need your help. Get ready.'' She said weakly. I took off my jacket and gave it to Nathalie who gave me a confused look.

''It's Alisha, I need to go.'' I whispered giving Nathalie a serious look.

''Need to go where?'' My mom asked confused.

''Oh, eh… The bathroom ofcourse, I'll be right back.'' I said quickly walking off. ''Where are you anyway?'' I asked Alisha.

''…'' Great, no response…

A second after I put my phone away the mayor got onto the stage with a police officer in a trench coat. Sounds like the mayor is about to start with the speech…


I still sat with Emily and Lisa at the table. I tried to look just as confused as they were about Mark's behavior, the only problem was that I knew what he was going to do.

A shattering noise came from above the stage and screams of panic could be heard from the crowd. I looked up at the source of the noise as a figure was thrown onto the stage, leaving a large hole in the glass of the building next to the stage.

''Nobody move!'' A metallic voice called out from inside the building.

Three human size machines with large wings leaped out of the hole and onto the stage. Stalking and snarling closer to the motionless figure. The officer who I recognized as officer Michaels stood in front of the mayor who rushed to the figures side.

Another figure leaped out of the hole in the building, landing on the stage. This one was different, he looked more human than the other machines. What stood out the most was his large white pony tail. He pressed a few buttons on his arm as the three machines stood behind him, almost like guard dogs.

''This is what happens when you let humans handle your security.'' He pulled his giant blade and walked up to the mayor. Officer Michaels fired a shot at the figure who summoned a giant wall stopping the bullet.

I looked around and saw people in the crowd starting to panic and scream but obeyed the figure and stayed at their tables. I looked over to Emily who watched the scene with tears of fear in her eyes. Lisa looked at me worried as she comforted Emily.

''Foolish.'' The figure said walking closer ready to stab the officer. Come one Mark, where are you!?

The figures thrusted his blade forward aiming to impale the officer. Just before the blade connected an orange streak intercepted the blade knocking it away from officer Michaels. A gunshot could be heard.


The bullet from the gunshot imbedded itself through the armor into the under armor I was wearing, it blocked the bullet from reaching my skin but goddamn that was going to leave another bruise.

The three Kha'Zix replica's turned invisible at the sight of their masters new opponent. He raised his hand signaling them to stand down.

''So you're the new pest in town?'' Yasuo said interested. ''Impressive how you saved that man.'' He taunted putting his blade back into its sheath, creating an orange spark around the handle.

''Why are you here?'' I asked taking a battle ready stance.

''That is what you want to know? My motive? HA.'' Yasuo mocked. ''There is so much you have to learn.'' Yasuo said dashing pass me, pulling a his sword out of its sheath just far enough to cut me in my side. He walked pass me towards Alisha who still lay motionless.

''He isn't the only one.'' Alisha murmured as she pulled the cord of her Z-drive, turning back time around her. She landed back on her feet blocking the incoming stab from Yasuo who didn't seem surprised at all.

''Back to fighting dirty, I see?'' He said creating another windwall to block the incoming Timewinder thrown by Alisha. ''I can do that too.'' Yasuo said whistling.

The three mecha's deactivated their camouflage and jumped into the crowd, creating a frenzy within the crowd. I couldn't move as I saw the mecha's run at random people, wildly slicing around them.

''Kid! Go! I got this.'' Alisha yelled bringing me back to earth. ''This is no time for standing around!''

I jumped into the crowd, looking around for the nearest target. I noticed a little boy crying for his mother and one of the machines getting closer to him, claws extended.

I used Highlander to close the gap between the machine and me. I dropped my sword and slid underneath the machines legs and grabbed the boy just in time saving him from the claws of the machine. I ran up to the boy's mother who began crying at the sight of her son alive and well.

The mecha followed me and tried to slice an X shape into me. I blocked it with my arms, drawing a bit of blood. I pushed the machine back making it stumble backwards giving me a chance to deactivate Highlander and call my blade back from where I dropped it.

I noticed the other two mecha's had also shifted their attention from random citizens to me. Good that gives the people a chance to run…

''Well come on! Show me what you got.'' I yelled charging the one I had been fighting before.

One of them screeched and all three ran up, firing missiles towards me. I used meditate in response and blocked the incoming damage. Instead of exploding the missiles created a smoke screen when they came in contact with my shield. These are decoys!

Once meditates barrier fell all three Kha'Zix knockoffs leaped at me, ready to stab any part of me they could. I rolled out of the way just in time.

''There has to be a weakness to these things, any design flaws'' I panted.

One of the mecha's jumped through the smoke landing on top of me, digging its talons into the armor holding me down. It raised its claw at me, ready to impale my helmet, when a Timewinder hit it making it stagger backwards.

''The legs, kid! Aim for the legs.'' Alisha yelled through the smokescreen before a bright orange light could be seen through the smoke, silencing her.

I got back up and swept my blade through the legs of the staggered mecha. It fell backwards twitching and rolling around, unable to find balance on its weak stumps. My small victory was short lived as six pairs of missiles knocked me off my feet.

I can't stay in this smoke. They have a way too big advantage over me but if I expose myself Yasuo might join his mecha's…

I had no time to think about a plan as a bladed claw imbedded itself in the ground where I was laying a second before.


People around me were screaming, yelling and running around like crazy. As soon as Mark had appeared to save officer Michaels, those bug like machines jumped into the crowd. Lisa and I made sure Emily was save, although we had to drag her along for a couple of meters.

''Has anyone seen my baby!?'' A woman yelled through the crowd. I looked around and noticed the little boy crying in the crowd.

My pulse spiked as I noticed one of the machines stalk closer. I raised my hand at the scene trying to do something. ''What are you going to do? Run in and die?...'' I balled my hand into a fist at my frustration but didn't dare look away, like I had hope Mark would notice. My silent prayers where heard when an orange streak blew past the machine and the boy disappeared.

''Nathalie! Come on! We need to get out of here!'' Lisa yelled, grabbing my shoulders. I looked over one more time and saw the woman hug her boy tight, tears of joy staining her eyes, before running off. Meanwhile a giant smokescreen had erupted on the makeshift battlefield.

''You don't have to worry about me all the time…'' His voice rang through my head. I looked over to Lisa and nodded.

''We have to get Emily out of here.'' I said as we dragged Emily off. She also saw the scene before us, her eyes shining with a glimmer of hope.

''NO WE HAVE TO SEARCH FOR MARK!'' Emily began to struggle loose and ran off into the smokescreen.

''Emily NOOO!'' Lisa and I yelled shocked as she ran pass us into the direction Mark ran off in.


I had gotten back on my feet and was locked in a tango with the two mecha's. I had a few claw marks across my armor, nothing to serious. The plan right now was to wait out the smokescreen and kill the both of them when I could see them.

I heard a muffled screech and turned around blocking an incoming set of claws. I used Wuju Style, knocking the bug like machine away from me. Creating an opening for me to hit it. I aimed for the legs but the machine had already adapted to my fight style and sacrificed one of its claws to protect its legs.

I readied for the other attack which would come from behind, but it never came. The mecha Kha'Zix that I was fighting also turned his head and ran off. I was generally confused until I heard a scream of fear coming from where the Kha'Zix ran off towards. Crap I know that voice…

I ran out of the smokescreen to reveal Emily cornered by the two Kha'Zix mecha's. She walked backwards into a wall and began to cry. I activated Highlander again and ran at the two bugs, kicking the one furthest one away, flooring it and making it screech.

''You were fighting me. You ugly son of a bitch.'' I roared as I grabbed the other one by the wings and threw it into the floored Kha'Zix mecha. How did I?! I looked down at my hands, which were once again emitting magic. Alisha isn't going to shut up about this later…

''Are you ok? What are you doing here? It's not save.'' I asked Emily extending my hand to her, helping her back on her feet.

''I hurt my leg, while looking for my brother. We got separated before the chaos.'' She hiccupped through her sobs. I couldn't help but smile underneath the helmet. A hiss came from behind me. I turned around and saw the mecha's slowly getting back up.

''We better get you to safety first.'' I said carrying Emily in my arms.

''Are you human? Or really from another world?'' Emily asked while I rushed her out of the battlefield.

''Yi! Over here!'' Nathalie yelled.

''Thank you a million times.'' My mother said smiling with tears in her eyes.

''You have to get out of here. The longer this fight continues, the more dangerous it will get.'' I warned. ''Now go! Get out of here.'' My mom quickly walked off with Emily in her hands, stopping a few meters later waiting on Nathalie.

''That counts for you too Nathalie.'' I said serious.

''Pff please I can handle myself. I saved your ass back at the museum.'' She said casually.

''Nathalie! Watch out!'' My mom yelled.

''HASAKI!'' Out of instinct I pushed Nathalie away towards safety as an orange tornado slammed me into the air.

''You should pay more attention to your surroundings boy.'' Yasuo said walking closer, dragging Alisha with him. I looked at Nathalie who was being dragged away by my mom.

Take care of her…

I heard a thud as Yasuo threw Alisha in front of me and unsheathed his blade. The three mecha's stood down awaiting their masters order. I got back on my feet and checked if Alisha was ok. She let out a groan of pain in response. She looked pretty beaten up, some of her armor had cuts in it and her visor was broken.

''I know you can do better than her.'' Yasuo said. ''You have something special.'' He continued inspecting my armor. He's obviously talking about the overdrive protocol

''I won't let you have it.'' I said holding my blade above my head.

''Such a shame, you could have been a powerful ally.'' Yasuo said disappointed. ''Just like your Old man.'' I heard him whisper before he attacked.

I barely blocked the attack with an overhead block knocking his blade to the side. Yasuo predicted my block perfectly and dashed pass me as soon as I blocked. He ended up behind me giving him the opportunity to cast Steel Tempest. The stab barely connected with my back, sending me stumbling forward by the sheer force of the attack.

I spun around with my blade while activating Wuju Style again, forcing Yasuo to block the attack. He dug his feet into the ground to reduce the force of the hit, giving him a chance to withstand the power behind the swing.

''That's it. Let's see how much control you have.'' He murmured.

Yasuo took his blade in both hands and charged me. He swung overhead forcing to block the attack. Next he moved his blade leftwards as it was connected with mine, breaking my block and casting Steel Tempest again. The attack once again barely connected with my stomach, sending me onto my back.

I tried getting back up swiftly but Yasuo stood before me and kicked me in my face sending me flying backwards a few inches. My vision was a blur from the kick as I saw Yasuo ready to plant his sword into my body. I used my last bit of energy to activate Highlander and rolled out of the way just in time. I looked back to the spot Yasuo stabbed and noticed a small crater was created where my head had been seconds ago.

''Give up the overdrive and I might let you live.'' He said pulling his sword out of the ground. ''You'll have a good life together with your dog of a father in the holding cells.''

''What do you know about my father!'' I screamed as I charged Yasuo at insane speed. I struck him multiple times from all sides. Every attack was aimed to kill but every time Yasuo would move just in time, like he knew where the attack was coming from. Sparks flew off his armor every strike that connected.

''That's it, let it all out!'' Yasuo laughed before casting Steel Tempest's third attack, Gathering Storm behind him. In my blind rage I walked straight into it. I was thrown into the air and heard those awful words.

''SORYE GE TON!'' Every word Yasuo spoke was connected to a painful slice somewhere on my body. Everything around me was in slow-motion. In the air I noticed just how powerful Yasuo actually was. Then it struck me:

This wasn't a fight to him, he was holding back this entire time…

Rubble from the ground mixed with blood flew in the air. My blood that was, I barely got a scratch on Yasuo's armor because of his protective shield. Yasuo finished his last attack he slammed me down into the ground. My body wouldn't move anymore, my spirit was completely broken.

''That's it then? You finally realized I was holding back?'' Yasuo mocked.

''Get up kid, you're not done yet.'' Alisha grunted.

''You again? Can't you just stay down for once.'' Yasuo walked over to her and slammed his foot into her stomach making her couch up blood. ''When will you heroes learn to give up and die?'' Yasuo said putting a bit more pressure on Alisha.

Alisha is throwing away her life! GET UP! SAVE HER! You wanted to be a hero? This is a part of it! Accept your fate and stand up, FIGHT!

''Hey, were not done yet.'' I said weakly drawing my blade. Yasuo turned around genuinely surprised.

''I didn't know you had that much spirit. It's more than your old man.'' He said drawing his blade and pointing it at me. I can't let that same taunt get to me… Not again…

I charged Yasuo at blinding speed. The overdrive protocol activated and gave me the edge I needed to out speed his movement. My blade shined bright orange as it connected with his sword creating a small explosion. The sheer force send Yasuo and the mecha's flying backwards through the building they came from. I ran through the hole I accidently created and noted all four targets where gone.

''Goddamn portal grenades…'' I dropped my blade in frustration as I began to think about what had happened.

I barely heard the sirens in the distance getting closer to where we had been fighting. Black vans stopped around the area and out walked a group of medics accompanied by Agnes. The medics began to check up on Alisha as Agnes ran up to me. I was looking down at the ground, slightly shaking.

'''What happened here!? Are you ok!?'' She put her hand on my shoulder, stopping me from shaking.

''They got him, Agnes.'' I said my voice getting brittle. I felt the tears burning in my eyes.

''WHO!? They got who?'' She asked worried.

I couldn't answer as I was almost choking on my own spit, tears streaming down my face as what Yasuo had been saying this whole time hit me like a truck. I felt Agnes hold me. She let me sob into her shoulder. I couldn't hold my frustrations back anymore. My sobs began to get worse as I cried like a child for his father.

''Shhhh. Were here for you.'' Agnes said trying calming me down.
