The Rise of Yin and Yang
I Rebirth
5 Hours before, Jade Dragon Palace, Skies of Western Shepherd, Yang´s Pov:
A lone Siren rang ot through the corridors of the Facility, here at the White Whale
It was no schoolbell nor test-alarm, as this siren rang only in a particularly secluded places, and also only to hear for those living within it.
It was a certain call, a call to arms, a call to never mean anything good.
The siren only rang in times of dire need, when the Freedom and Peace in the Republic was threathened by extreme circumstances, apparently the first time ever since its establishment, that it rang, was during the first rise of the ancient moving titanic weapon, Lares, appeared, back then as the General of the Kurvaz showed his true powerhungry face.
While Lady Million let herself be caught and imprisionned by General Bruno Dondurma and his men, on the surface, had the team already begun to move from within the shadow.
They evacuated the nearest islands and places in the closest viccinity of this thing.
And now the Siren rang out again, a sign that everything went downhill again.
We were the Republics defender, the one to take up the fight if all else fails, we are the final solution.
We are no heroes..., we are the ones they call when all defenses fall and when the only other option is to fight back by any means necessary.
It was though a massive coincidence that today was a day of Physical examinations, which meant for us, me and my Sister, that we had no school today, so also no one of our classcomrades would riddle us with questions later on.
Instead we absolved a couple of test to examine our physical condition as well as our control about these forces we possessed, here in the secret facilities of S.I.T.K.A. in the White Whale, a giant Airship double the size of the Royal Envy and the Golden Roar.
In its own right it was like a small village, it nearly had anything anyone needed to hold a living upon it, residential Quarters, shops, offices, hangars and Workshops for any kind of Vehicles, restaurants, etc.
And here in the Secret Dojo of the Special Intervention Teamof the Kurvaz Agency we were currently training our powers to master them, under the watch of our foster Family..., or so it should have been.
What these Powers are you ask, well let me tell you first about how we even gained them at all, but it will not be a nice story for sure, all of it was only due to us suffering, even in the moments we thought that we were at peace with the world.
The Call of the Forbidden Siren had come and so we followed, we had to, if not we would defy our right of existence in this Republic, in this World, deny to be grateful for the help and the life we had gotten, by our adoptive mother Merveille Million, once our previous life had ended.
We could be either good or bad, it was our choice, Merveille said so too, back then as we met her the first time..., but with these kinds of powers, it was the worst of ideas, to make yourself the world your enemy.
We understood that quite early.
For those with even more power would come to crush us down..., so we better stay clean, out of trouble and generally off the grid of the Authorities as much as possible.
As our forces were only needed in the direst of situation, we at least did not had to feel like guinea pigs all the time, not that we felt like some in the first place.
If anything I would say that our life went on, not in the usual bounds, but we were free, free to live as we wanted.
Still we were under observation, after all we never were to forget, that, although due to us self-defending from Criminals, two persons had died through our forces already.
We also had been persecuted by the Authorities for a while, due to these forces, until we found someone who trusted us and showed us a way to put these forces to good use.
No..., most of the time we were but ordinary students..., but we had a not so ordinary secret before most people.
Yin and Yang Libra, that´s the Name we once went by, back then as we were still normal Kids of 12 Years.
Before we were part of Project Renaissance, as executive Field Agents, for Extraordinary situations.
A few Years ago, we had still lived a normal life with normal interests and Hobbies, mine were the catching and studying of Insects big and small, football and my favorite Tv Series of Super Nyatta and Super Rescue Riders.
My Sister Yin on the other Hand loved to play and hang out with her friends and read books and comics together or talk about their favorite music-stars.
Overall you could say that we were the average Neighborhood children.
We didn´t especially stand out of the crowd but we also weren´t going under within it, not that we ever asked to stand out in the first place, it was nice being average, even though we were born the Children of Judge Gilmore Libra, one of the most famous Judges from Pharaoh.
It wasn´t always easy being the children of such a famous man, as there were always high expectations hold on us and we lived under constant threat from criminals judged by our Father, yeah life wasn´t easy..., but it was still livable I would say.
We were content with living our life the way we had it, the way it came upon us, until we would grow up and had to get a job for a living and maybe someday falling in love and starting a family of our own.
Life had been good to us...
"But now, those days were long over.
Our home, our friends, heck even our Father was gone, not that they died..., no they casted us away.
Denied our Friendship or Relationship, called us Monsters and criminals.
They pushed us away because of powers we gained..., gained but never asked for, never wanted to possess, forcs that came upon us , which might have saved our life but simultaneously also cursed the same." I thought, as I looked out of a window, as we walked up here through the corridor, towards the Secret Conference Room of S.I.T.K.A.
2 Years ago, a terrible catastrophe happened to us, back then as Pharaoh was attacked by foreign forces, as the existence of Super-Powers came crashing upon us all with almighty force.
And not only that, it only needed a little spark coming from a piece of metal, scrapping over another piece, within the collapsed room at a destroyed school.
The Gas tank was leaking due to the pipes having been damaged, and the spark which ignited the fire in a wild inferno, came to the horror of me and my sister, by those who were to help us...
We were trapped in that room, which filled with gas and made it hard to breath, we thought to have to suffocate before we heard voices outside.
We were glad but once we though we were a step away from freedom, the gas that had filled the room was ignited, by the Jackhammer of one of the Rescuers, exploding and dragging us all around.
The next thing I remembered was us lying in something comfy, soft and warm.
Little i thought that we had died and gone up into heaven, i was not aware that we just were about to take a harsh dive down to hell instead.
Flashback, 2 Years ago, after the Crisis of Pharaoh:
White, that was all I saw right now.
Where am I, what happened, I cannot remember a thing.
Wait..., wasn´t there someone with me..., Yin..., my sister, where was she?
Why were we here, why can´t I move and why do I see white?
Was I dead..., did Yin died too?
"UUUh" Suddenly it was as if my sense of feeling returned, pain filled my body, my head hurted like hell, pounding as if being maltreated with a Jackhammer.
Suddenly I saw red and orange before me, blooming up like a flower and yet the sight was terrifying.
It felt hot, way too hot, almost scorching..., no it felt scorching.
It was fire I saw, a massive burst of fire that came rushing at me.
What happened?
"Nnnggghh!" Suddenly I heard a voice next to me, I tried with all my power to feel my muscles, and move my head to look next to me.
"Yin?" I asked unsure, barely recognizing my voice, every word burned in my throat.
"Yang, is that you..., where are we..., what happened, why does everything hurt?" The voice asked me as I managed to finally turn my head, looking into the face of my sister, bandages over blonde fur, terrified pale green eyes and honey-golden hair awaited me, as my sight focused on her face.
She was all patched up, her face had several cuts and burns, but otherwise she seemed fine.
But her eyes spoke of fear and worry.
"I don´t know where we are or what happened..., I can barely remember..., I just see fire when I try..., I think I see an explosion." I replied to her question from before.
"If so..., do you think this is a hospital room?" She asked, her voice sounded just as worse as mine did.
"Most likely..., I guess we were caught up in something terrible, I just cannot remember what." I replied.
"Ah, I see you guys have finally awoken..., you got us worried, we thought you might not have taken the operation well, good to see it worked all out." A new voice stated after a strange noise caught my attention.
"Who...?" I asked as I tried to heave my head up to look, but that just made the pounding even worse.
"Oh wait, do not strain yourself too much, not just yet at least..., here, let me help you guys." The voice stated and suddenly my vision was moved, without me moving a muscle.
"Can you see me now?" The Voice stated as my eyes fell on a middle-aged man in a long white coat.
"Who are you..., where are we?" I asked and he nodded.
"My Name is Doctor Engel and you are momentarily in the Pharaoh hospital, you are here since about 2 months..., you laid in coma, both of you." The Doctor stated.
"What happened to us?" I asked.
"You were caught up in an explosion at school and barely survived the same, we had to transplant several organs, under them also your hearts, otherwise you might have died.
We need to run some more tests once you are fully awake and ready to take them, but so far your body seems to accept the organs.
Anyways rest a bit, I will explain everything to you once you are fit enough for it." The Doctor explained and as I was not sure I really understood what he told me, I simply nodded and closed my eyes, sinking back into comforting blackness.
.
.
It lasted two more days until we had recovered enough to properly eat..., our arms and legs were thinner than I could remember them to have been before.
The doctor explained to us that we had been caught up in the middle of an explosion, after the town was attacked by two overwhelmingly powerfull and strange Mechas and beings, which destroyed the school in which we had lessons.
The roof and ground collapsed, effectively trapping us.
As the Fire-defenders were at digging a hole as entrance and exit, they accidently ignited the gas that had filled the room by hitting one of the leaking gas pipes.
The entire place exploded and we were dragged outside by the shockwave.
Many of our ribs broke and we had internal bleedings, it was a miracle that we survived due to instant surgery and operation, as well as the replacement of organs.
A Little I wondered why we were treated directly, instead being sat on the List like everyone else..., but then it all made sense, it was Dad´s doing.
As we were the Children of a Judge it was but only natural that he would pay tons of money for his children to be treated first..., this made me a little miserable, what about all the other people who needed organs as well, if all of these organs had been spent on us, were there any left for other children?
It was a question I asked the Doctor, but he only smiled and said I should not need to concern myself with that.
That claim sure was strange.
.
.
.
In the end it lasted 4 more months until we managed to leave the Hospital.
Rehabilitation helped us to regain our motoric abilities and our wounds healed quite well.
The scar of the surgery on our hearts was a permanent reminder that our life could have been lost if anything went wrong.
But it also meant that due to money, our lives were spared, and the one of others might have been lost.
I tried not to think about it too much, but the thought never left me.
Even though Yin and I tried to live our lives as before was it impossible, suddenly we were famous, reporters camped infront of our house night and day, just to shoot one single picture of us, it was worse than ever before..., all that attention was surely tiring.
During that time, I thought that this was perhaps the worst that could happen.
I would have never counted with what happened half a year after our accident.
It all started after a normal day after school, Yin and I hanged out with our friends, trying to get back into our usual life and routine, and it seemed to work, everything was normal again.
The only difference that happened was that our friends became more careful and concerned around us, but otherwise it was all the same as before.
"Hey you guys want to hang out in town, the Shopping mall has finally re-opened?" Victoire Price, one of Yin´s friends asked.
"Sure why not, I´m all up for it, what about you guys?" I asked the others who nodded eagerly.
I remember a time that we went almost everyday after school to the mall or the Game-center, of course we did our homework and learned enough, our notes never fell below average, but always stayed high up, due to that, Dad allowed us to go play whenever we wanted.
"Then it's settled, let´s go!" I stated with joy as we walked on towards the central Plaza.
I recognized that Yin seemed not to feel so well, so I fell back walking next to her.
"What´s the matter Sis..., Yin..., what´s wrong?" I asked her in a hushed voice, concerned, as I saw her looking around shyly.
"I don´t know..., I just feel as if someone is watching me, from afar, I felt so the whole day at school as well, it isn´t the usual feeling..., this feels more sinister minded." Yin answered unsure.
"You think its one of the Paparazzi?" I asked her but she shook her head.
"Its not like the glances of those money-hungry photographers..., this here is different, it seems as if it originated in hatred, someone is stalking us for harms sake." Yin stated with an unsure glance.
"Shall we call things off and head right back home?" I asked her, but she shook her head.
"No that would only get them the triumph they want, Dad always says that we must face conflicts head on, I think as long as we are in the group we are safe." She explained.
"I guess you´re right, but if you see someone tell me okay." I replied and she nodded.
"Guys, what´s holding you up, c´mon!" Victoire stated aloud, catching our attention, standing infront of the mall.
"Coming!" I stated and so we ran up to them and made our way into the mall.
We had quite a good time with our friends but everything comes to an end and 3 hours were long enough anyways.
We still had homework to do, so we made our way back home after a few hours.
Our friends lived in the other direction so it was just us going that way.
I almost forgot about that potential stalker out there.
The Sun was already setting, soon the sky would be dark.
"Today was fun." I stated as I walked next to Yin.
"Indeed, it did good to have something normal again, it felt like ages since I last was shopping." Yin replied nodding as we walked on, dragging our bags back home.
Suddenly she stumbled but caught herself from falling.
"Woah, Yin, are you alright?" I asked her shocked.
"I..., I don´t know, suddenly my vision got all blurry and my body somehow starts to feel hot." She exclaimed confused.
"Geeez you are burning up, if you felt unwell like that, you should have said so, you need to speak up when you are feeling bad." I stated after I felt her forehead.
"Why is that, I was okay just an hour ago?" Yin asked unsure, breathing hard.
"We should get back home, or better go see the doctor, maybe this is an aftereffect of the surgery." I suggested and she nodded, as she tried to walk on but quickly fell to her knees.
"Yin, take it easy, geez come on, I will support you!" I stated as I put her arm around my shoulder and heaved her up, she breathed hard, as if she had run a marathon.
"C´mon now, step by step." I muttered as we walked on, but we didn´t came far.
"Huh?" She suddenly looked afraid, before she glanced behind.
"What´s there..., huh, what the?" I stammered as I looked behind us after I saw her frightful face, only to see a man standing there under the streetlight.
The Sun hat meanwhile set and the streets seemed cold and empty.
The man standing behind us fixated us with an angry glace.
"What do you want, who are you?" I asked aloud unsure of what that guys was up to.
"Yang, there are more coming!" Yin stated weakly, as she pointed forward, I looked to see two men coming out of the buildings next to a dark lit alley which we stood infront of.
They closed in on us and we were inevitably dragged into the alley, which ended in a dead end.
"What´s the meaning of this?" I asked myself as I took Yin closer to me, shielding her from them.
"So you are the brat that got the Heart meant for my daughter, how dare you running around all happy and smiling..., when my daughter died..., just because your Father payed much more money than I could, they gave up on my daughter and let her die, saving you instead...
My wife..., she killed herself because she could not cope with the loss..., this is all your fault..., if only you had died before my Girl, maybe she would be alive now.
I have nothing left but my sorrow and my hatred..., so let me at least fulfil my hatred!" The man stated, as suddenly I could see something silvery shining bright, he had pulled out a large knife.
"If you are no more..., maybe my daughter and my wife..., will finally be able to rest in peace!" The man shouted, as he was ready to stab one of us.
Knife held infront of him, running at us.
"Yin get Back!" I shouted as I pushed her back.
"Yang be careful!" My sister shouted out in fear.
Luckily, I knew a little about self-defense, since my mother insisted that we learned some of it for our own safety, as we refused to constantly walk around with Bodyguards, much to the dismay of our father.
I really wish I had a pair of them now here with us.
"Hyaaaah!" I shouted as I stepped aside and grabbed the wrists of the attackers, letting him run past, before kicking away his legs.
The gravitation did the rest as he fell flat on his back, unconscious, to be honest he smelled like a brewery.
No wonder his judgement was so narrowminded, ever since his family died he must have drowned his sorrow in alcohol.
"One down." I muttered as I jumped backwards to Yin, shielding her from the other two men, I was panting hard, this was too much exercise for someone out of the Rehab since but a few months
Also it felt as though the fever which Yin had had began to spread over to me as well, my vision started to become blurry.
"You damn Kids, thanks to your Father our kids died, we won´t ever forget this!" One of them shouted.
"So you decided to take it out on us..., we too would have died without the organs, so you say we were better off dead..., would that really make your children happy?" I asked, trying to reason them, but I knew it was futile, I had the same thoughts in my mind after all, I knew that someday it had to come to this.
"SHUT UP!" The one I addressed shouted as he attacked us with a knife as well, only for me to beat him back and kick him into the next wall.
I was but 12 years old but my sensei in the dojo held me for quite promising.
However, didn´t that meant that my condition was still up to it, au contraire, I was nearly at the limit of my forces, this Heart and a few other organs were new after all.
"Ha, I knew a Knife would not work, so I was clever and brought a gun instead!" The Third Men stated as he pulled a gun out of his belt and pointed it at Yin.
"YIN!" I shouted as I rushed to here side, but I was too far away to get to her in time, even I knew that.
"YANG!" My sister shouted as she looked at me in terror, while I tried my best to run to her side.
"Now Die, Revenge for my Son!" The Man shouted.
"NOOO!" Yin and I shouted in Chorus as the Bullet was released, out to bring misery.
It was as though time slowed down.
Even though I run as fast as I could, I didn´t seemed to even move a millimeter.
But then it happened, suddenly I was pushed backwards by an invisible force coming out of Yin, but I managed to stand my ground.
"What..., what just happened?" I asked as I looked forward, the shockwave vanished as fast as she came.
I saw how the man with the gun laid unconscious at the other side of the alley.
"Yin." I stammered as I looked at my sister, the same was Floating, some king of strange fluorescent wing-like appendages were sprouting from her back, her eyes glowed.
It was impossible for me to comprehend just what I saw, but as fast as it happened it also vanished again, suddenly the wings dispersed and Yin fell to her knees.
"Yin, sister, wake up, what has happened to you?" I asked her as I rushed to her side.
She was unharmed but unconscious.
"M-Monster!" I heard someone shouting.
It was the guy I had kicked in the wall.
"It was you, I knew it, I saw you before, you were the one who destroyed Pharaoh!" He shouted as he pointed at Yin.
"I will never forget that day, as that Black clothed, winged girl destroyed our house, pushed it away in a shockwave alongside other houses, on top of her Mecha.
My daughter and my son, they were crushed by rocks, they might have become paraplegic, however they would have lived, only new organs would have saved them..., but the one they needed and should have received, was already gone, transplanted into you.
And now you use the same forces..., admit it, you never died, you just hid in another body, to evade justice for your crimes, but not with me, I will kill you, I will kill you for sure!" The man shouted as he looked around and found the gun of the other man next to him.
"Die you Scum!" He shouted as he pointed the weapon at Yin once again.
"NO YOU DON´T!" I shouted as I suddenly felt such a wrath in me and it was as if electricity ran through my body and out of my fingertips.
Before I comprehended what happened, the man was already Slammed into the same wall, he had laid next to before, several meters above ground.
"You filthy rat, how dare you pointing that thing at my sister!" I shouted in wrath as the feeling became stronger.
The man was pushed deeper into the wall, squashed by some unknown force.
"Aaaarrgghhh!" He shouted as he spit blood.
"Yang, stop it, you are hurting him!" Yin shouted but I didn´t knew how to stop anymore, my wrath was nearly at overtaking me.
Something in me enjoyed this power I had over that guy and it frightened me greatly.
"YANG!" Yin shouted and before I knew what happened the force ran out, as I felt Yin´s body pressing at me, as she embraced me with tears in her eyes.
It was as though all force left my body, sucked away by her touch, as I fell to my knees, just like Yin before.
The same leaned on me with teary eyes, crying into my chest while I honestly had no idea what just happened.
The man slid to the ground, bleeding out of his mouth, breathing heavy.
"What just happened?" I mumbled in shock.
"Yang we need to get out of here, what if more of these people come?" Yin asked and I nodded.
Of course, it was wrong to run away, but I was too shocked to think rationally, so I helped Yin up and together we stumbled out of the alley, the first man still laid there unconscious but the man who brought the gun was nowhere to be seen, he seemed to have been dragged far away by this shockwave thing of Yin.
I don´t know where or how far we ran, but eventually our forces ran out and we slumped onto a bench in a park, it wasn´t the central park, at least I thought so, either way it was already dark out here and the streetlights illuminated the park just partially, so it was hard telling.
"What just happened there?" I wondered in shock, unsure what to feel or what to even do now.
"What was this force?" I muttered as I looked at Yin who looked just as disturbed as myself.
"An ambulance..., we have to get an ambulance." Yin stated to me.
"Yeah, these people might have attacked us but if we don´t do something they might die, even though they do not deserve it." I muttered as I pulled out my mobile phone and dialed the number of the Ambulance service.
"Do you remember where that had been?" I asked Yin.
"I think it was the alley across the Antiquity shop in the Centrale lane." Yin replied her arms never leaving mine.
I told the address to the person on the phone before I hang up.
"What now?" Yin asked.
"I´m not sure, I hope they survive, but if not, they might arrest us for murder, I mean we just bolted from the crime scene." I stated unsure.
"What was that power?" Yin asked.
"No idea..., but it seemed to come from within us..., that last guy..., he seemed to have recognized us, he said a girl in black..., with wings destroyed his house..., but we never had such forces, we are but ordinary Caninu children of 12 years aren´t we?
..., just what happened?" I muttered that last part, unsure of where to start, to even try and comprehend what happened back then.
"Should we return home?" Yin asked but I shook my head.
"I think I left my backpack in the alley, there is where they will search first, no one´s gonna believe us that we just defended us, not with the injuries these guys have gotten..., even when the police would catch us, what if the same happens again?" I wondered and she nodded.
"Maybe it´s for the best to stay away for a while." She muttered.
"I guess so." I replied nodding.
"But where should we go to?" She asked.
"Not sure but we can´t stay here out in the open." I replied.
"C´mon Yin, let´s find a place to stay." I said to and so we made our way through the dark lit park.
"This place is scary by night." Yin muttered after a while of walking.
"Indeed, we better would have walked over the street." I stated agreeing.
"Hehehe, well look who we have here..., isn´t it too late for such young kids to be out at this time of the day..., well sucks for you that we found you, so how about it, we search us a nice place." Suddenly a voice stated from behind, startling me to the core.
Instinctively I pulled Yin behind me.
Before us stood a group of older guys, looking like the average criminal gang, armed with baseball-bats and crowbars.
"Hey I know these kids, aren´t those the brats of that Judge, who had been in the news not so long ago..., I bet they got a ton of money at hand and if not, there father surely will pay much for them, if we threat him!" One of them stated as he pointed at us.
"Seems like today is a lucky day, if you are right, we can get us a fortune!" The other one, some guy with crazy haircut and many piercings as well as a tattoos, most likely their leader, laughed with a sinister grin.
"Yin, run!" I shouted as I turned heels and dragged Yin behind me.
"Hah, you think you can get away, we know this park better than you guys do..., get them!" the Leader shouted and I instantly heard how many people came running for us.
"Yang wait up!" Yin stated aloud as she barely could catch up, despite the fact that I pulled her by the hand.
"We need to get out of here, if not we are toast!" I stated aloud.
"Uaaah!" Suddenly I felt how her grip left mine as she stumbled and fell flat on her face.
"Yin!" I shouted as I rushed at her side.
"Ooow, my Leg!" She shouted in pain and I saw how blood ran down her leg, an empty beer-bottle rolled over the ground before it stopped under the heel of one of these guys.
I felt that we were surrounded, I didn´t even needed to look, to know that.
"You really though you could get away, don´t you, well too bad for you that your sister is such a clumsy girl." Their Leader laughed as he appeared behind his men with a sickening evil smile.
"If you would not have resisted we might have stayed friendly, but as it seems that you do not appreciate our hospitality, I think we need to show you the house rules of this park first.
First rule, you always pay the owner..., second, you do not bolt when the bill comes..., and third, you are not allowed to leave until the owner says so!" The Leader shouted and each of those stupid rules was underlined with a beat of his metallic Baseball bat, which I took, shielding Yin.
"Yang, Nooo!" The same shouted as she cried in terror, while I crouched over her, shielding her with my body.
"Oh how heroic, the boy defends the girl, too bad that heroism doesn´t help you when you are beaten black and blue." The leader laughed as I felt many more beats, as his man began to go down on me, beating me with all they got.
My body hurted all over, it felt just like back then as I woke up from coma.
"C´mon get the girl from under him, we gonna have a lot of fun with her!" The Leader shouted, encouraging his men, I felt how Yin was dragged out beneath me.
"No, don´t you dare..., keep your filthy hands of my Sister!" I shouted, as I grabbed the arms of that bastard.
"You damn brat don´t know when to quit, don´t you!" The leader shouted as he kicked me in the head.
I flew backwards letting go of the other guy.
"Didn´t..., I..., told..., you..., not..., to..., defy..., me!" The Leader shouted as he kicked me with every word.
"Woah, hahaha, I think you killed him, that guys doesn´t move anymore!" I faintly heard someone laughing at me.
My body was completely numb, I did not feel anything anymore, but I heard anything, I heard Yin´s cries clearly in my mind.
"Damn, for such a tiny brat, this girl sure has a nice pair of tits!" I heard one of them say and I wanted to move, I knew I had to move, I had to save Yin, but my Body would not move.
"If you give up now, she´s going to be abused." I suddenly though to hear a voice, it did not sound sinister or mocking, it sounded painfully neutral, as if this whole situation did not concern that person.
"You need to rise of else your poor little sister will be raped by these guys and maybe even kidnapped, maybe even worse." The voice kept on speaking.
"Who are you?" I asked but I did not felt my mouth moving, to be honest I did not felt anything anymore.
"Someone who had tried to rid this world of scum like these people..., better said who tried to cleanse this world from all of you, I felt superior to you, felt that you were not worthy to remain on this world.
I felt perfect, superior to everyone but my master, even my mother was but vermin to me, until I saw the truth, until that very truth was forced on us." The voice stated and what she said made no sense at all.
"What do you mean with that?" I asked.
"You really sure you have time to chat, if you do not do something your sister will be scarred for life." The voice stated again.
"What can I do, I can not even feel my body anymore, I doubt I am even alive anymore!" I asked with wrath rising in my voice, if I could move I would have already done so.
"You must accept that you are not yourself anymore, that you are more than you ever have been, embrace this force and use it to show your will." The voice stated.
"This force..., you mean this force from before?" I asked.
"Indeed, remember what you felt as you used it, recreate the feeling and you will be able to act again." The voice, replied as it seemed to fade away.
"Wait, where are you going?" I asked in a panic.
"My time is over, I had my life and I lost it because I was blind..., blindly following someone who did not cared for anything in this world..., too blind to see who I really was and what I should have done instead of what I did do.
We were murdered by our brother, who we had always deemed a failure, as he did the same, we did the entire time, following an order we deemed as ultimate.
The bill for all of what my sister and I had done wrong in our lives had been delivered on this day, for all the lives we had erased, all the places we had destroyed.
It is a shame that we were blind, blind to see the truth, that we had been used the entire time and once our purpose was fulfilled, we were betrayed by our Father, the man we admired.
We were left to fetch for ourselves, cast away and thrown into the dirt of the hell we had unleashed ourselves, not that we had even a second of that unwanted freedom, before death awaited us." The voice replied getting even fainter.
"At least tell me your name!" I shouted.
"My name was Blank..., and yet I am you and you are me..., now is your turn..., Our mother will surely contact you sooner or Later, trust her, she wanted just the best for us, wanted to save us before we were killed..., our brother too tried to save us before the Order was forced on him..
Trust Merveille and Red, but no one else.
Now is your turn..., make it better than we did." The voice nearly whispered and suddenly it was as though I could feel how the presence of this person was gone, but the feeling she gave me was still there.
What did he mean with that, he was me and I was him?
"My turn..., my turn to do what?" I wondered as I tried to remember the feeling from before in that dark lit alley.
Suddenly I was able to hear again.
"Dammit keep her still, I can´t get my dick into her that way!" I heard someone shouting and I wondered how long I was out, but either way I knew exactly what happened and I would not allow such a thing to happen to my Sister.
"Raaaaaaaaahhhh!" I shouted in my mind as I forced it to remember how my body felt, how to move my muscles, how to stand up and how to fight back.
I let force running through my veins alongside my blood, I let it fill my entire body, with my heart as central part of this network, this cluster of tissue, bones, cells and lifeforce.
Wrath fueled my body as I felt how I stood back up.
"What the..., that guy, he is back on his feet?" I heard a voice before I opened my eyes seeing the sigh infront of me.
4 men pinned Yin down and a 5th one tried to rape her, while two other stood by to keep watch.
I was left to suffer, but now as I stood before them, wrath filled my heart even more and clouded by better judgement.
"Then Beat him back down, that shouldn´t be so difficult!" The Leader shouted still trying to force himself on Yin.
"Stay down you Brat!" One of those who looked at me, ran up to me with his crowbar held up high, ready to slam it down on my head.
"Get out of my way!" I shouted, as I punched him in the face with impossible speed.
From one second to the next I was right before him, my fist making contact with his face, punching him backwards with incredible force.
"What the..., how is this possible!" The other one shouted in sheer shock.
"What are you guys doing there!" the Leader shouted as he turned around only to nearly choke on his words.
"What the hell is that..., what kind of Monster are you?" He shouted in terror.
"Your worst nightmare." I stated as power ran through my entire body, circulating rapidly, wrath fueling it even more than before.
"Dammit, what are you standing there for, take him down already!" The Leader shouted to the other guy who stood before him.
"Uuuuwwwwaaaaah!" The same screamed as he too ran up to me with his Baseball bat at the ready, looking desperate, more than unwilling to gain my attention.
I lifted a hand and imagined myself how I did it before, how I smashed that guy into the wall, back in the alley.
I visualized a bolt of energy forming in my hand, before I send it right into his stomach.
And it was as if he was dragged away by an invisible force, like a puppet by its strings out of sight..., with nothing but his battle cry echoing in the darkness through the park.
"What the hell, what´s happening here!" The Leader shouted in fear as he stood up but stumbled over his stripped-down pants falling backwards on the ground while his men scrambled in terror, leaving him back.
"Please, have mercy!" He shouted as I walked up to him.
"You should know that scum like you deserve no mercy, vermin like you deserve to be squashed without any mercy!" I shouted as I raised my arm again.
"Stop right there, what´s going on here?!" Suddenly a new Voice shouted, I looked to see one of the Park-Guards walking up with his taser-gun aimed at us.
Too late, way too late one of these bastards decided to show up.
If he had come earlier, saving us, I would not have to do this.
"You should better catch those who ran away, I will take care of that guy here!" I replied aloud.
"Nice try but the way I see it you are far more suspicious than those rowdy punks!" The Guard shouted.
"And there you are mistaken, I only do what is right by cleaning out the dirt, doing the job you are paid for but which you do not seem to take serious!" I replied, as I aimed at the Leader who meanwhile had pissed himself in fear and terror, looking from me to the Guard and back.
"Keep that arm lowered, I don´t know what you are trying to do, but don´t make this mess worse than it is!" The Guard tried to persuade me.
"I don´t make things worse..., I just turn them right again!" I stated as I used my force to push the leader away, in the same moment as the Taser was released.
I felt a sharp pain in my side as I stumbled backwards and fell over.
"Dammit, just what´s going on here." I heard the guard mumbling as he came closer looking at me.
"You will pay for this!" I stated aloud as I tried to,stand up again, before I was shocked once more.
"Aaaarrrggghh!" I shouted in pain.
"Stay down, it´s for your own good!" The Guard shouted.
"Officer Vauban here, I need Back up at 5.20, asap." He stated in his radio.
"Stay, don´t make me do this again!" He shouted as I tried to move as the pain subsided.
"Yin is still hurt, let me to her!" I stated aloud, to overtone the noise in my head as the electricity of the taser messed with my brain´s signals.
"You are not going anywhere, my colleagues will be here in a jiffy so be a good boy until then and stay down." The Park Guard stated, looking desperate, his finger on the trigger, ready to shock me again.
"Let me to Yin!" I shouted as I managed to stand up and stumble forward to him, frightening him greatly.
"Nooo, stay down!" He shouted in fear as he pulled the trigger once again.
I felt how my corporal coordination was messed up and how I fell to the ground landing face forward on the ground.
"Officer Vauban, where are you guys, hurry up!" I thought to hear him shouting in his Radio as my consciousness faded.
"What, who are, what, why, noo, aaaaah!" I heard him shouting again, before I felt that I was dragged up.
"I will help you, we must hide for a while." I heard Yin´s soft voice saying.
"Yi-in." I exclaimed before I truly lost consciousness.
.
.
.
I woke up to the noise of sirens and words being shouted.
"Get out of there and keep your hands up in the air, don´t make us harm you!" I heard someone shouting.
"Dammit, we have to get out of here, but they have already surrounded the house." I heard Yin´s voice.
"What..., where am I..., Yin what´s going on?" I asked with a groggy voice as I opened my eyes trying to focus.
"Oh good you are finally awake, you were unconscious for a while." Yin explained.
"What´s with all the sirens?" I asked.
"The Police, it was all over TV, the alley has a camera and it filmed the whole thing..., well part of it.
It filmed how we were forced to go into that alley by those men, then there was only the alley to see, then you heard gunfire and in the next moment one of these guys came flying out of the Alley, the Camera was flipped over by some invisible force and then recorded the inside of the alley.
It caught me as I floated and as you used those forces as that man pointed his gun at me.
Then they showed the sight of the Park, there were cameras as well, they showed how we were ambushed, how we tried to run and how we were caught by them and then beaten up, how they tried to rape me and how you took them out.
Yang..., two of them died, one of them and their Leader, slammed into the trunks of trees, breaking their necks..., I attacked that Park Guard who shocked you with this taser multiple times, they said he had to be hospitalized.
They say we are dangerous and if anyone knows about our whereabouts, they were to call the police..., I think they hold us for those two that attacked Pharaoh once, they haven´t been seen ever since the battles in Pharaoh subsided a few months ago.
Some though they might have died, others said they were hiding, broken and injured but alive.
The Authorities and the Reporters have already spoken with Father, since our ID Cards were found at both crime scenes, and he said that we weren´t his children anymore if the accusations were true, that he would have never allowed for monster such as this to be born...
What shall we do now, one of the neighbors has seen me, as I went out to buy food and something to drink, she must have called the police." Yin stated in a desperate tone.
"Where are we even?" I asked her.
"In the apartment of that Park Guard, I stole his house key and some of his money." She explained and I looked dumbfounded and in shock, this was one of the worst ideas ever.
"Why have you done that?" I asked in Disbelieve.
"We were out of money, yours laid in your bag in that alley and mine somewhere in the park, thrown away during our flight from these guys.
Also we needed a place to safely stay, and since I had no idea where else to go or what else to do, I thought that the apartment of a Single guy might be the best place to sleep and hide for a while and still be safe." Yin explained.
"How did you know he was single?" I asked dumbfounded.
"His wallet, there was nothing personal inside than money and credit cards, no photos of Children or a wife, not even of a girlfriend, and there were these..." She stated as she showed me a small pack of condoms.
"Sorry but what guy in a relationship run around with condoms in his pocket?" She asked and I had to snicker.
"None, I guess only desperate singles would do such a thing, nice going Sis, just like Sherlock Hound." I stated with a smile.
"Well it was a good idea, until this happened..., there has been a troop of them that just stormed inside, they are soon infront of the door, we have to get out of here." She explained.
"Any ideas where to go?" I asked but she shook her head.
"I´m all out of options." She replied.
"I see, well you did good sister, now it is my turn of defending you again..., I´m sorry that I couldn´t do so yesterday." I exclaimed but she shook her head.
"You did everything you could and you fought bravely for me, this is more than I could have asked for..., I love you Yang." She stated as she embraced me.
"Yin." I stated shedding a tear.
We had always been close but ever since the Incident at the school and the later hospitalization we were forged even stronger together.
Maybe it was because we had only Dad and ourselves anymore, as Mom died during the attacks at Pharaoh.
She was out meeting a friend from Bordaussie in a nice little Diner, before the same collapsed and buried both women, alongside of other people, underneath the rubble.
"Wait..., I hear footsteps, that must be them." I exclaimed as I heard the noise of many steps on the ground.
"Oh no, what now?" Yin asked.
I looked around to find somewhere to hide.
The Roof, it was the only way to have enough space, maybe we can flee from there to another building.
"Fire Ladder!" I stated aloud as I stood up and ran towards the window.
"C´mon Yin!" I stated as I helped her out of the window and onto the fire ladder.
"We going up to the roof, maybe we can get to another building this way." I stated and she nodded as she climbed up.
"Stop, in the Name of justice, stand still!" We heard the voice of someone, amplified by a Megaphone.
"Keep climbing we are almost on the roof, don´t listen to them." I reassured her and she nodded.
"Yin, Yang, stop this Madness, I´m sure you had a good reason for doing this but you have to stop, now!" Suddenly we heard Father´s voice out of the Megaphone.
"Dad." I mumbled.
"Yang, we have to climb, they only brought him as distraction, he has already said that he does not consider us as his children anymore!" Yin stated aloud, reprimanding me for stopping for a second.
"Right, let´s get going, the roof is just a stone-throw away." I stated and so we kept on climbing.
"Over here, I have them in my sight!" We heard someone shouting as we looked underneath to see a few men on 2 levels underneath, climbing up with much ease.
"They are heading for the roof, get the Helicopter over there!" I heard how that guy ordered in his radio.
"Stop You two, in the name of Justice..., you are under arrest!" he shouted pointing at me.
"C´mon Yang the roof isn´t far anymore, just a little bit more!" Yin shouted and so we kept on climbing, the roof was just one more level away.
"We made it but what now?!" Yin asked, as I pulled up the last ladder to make it unreachable for our pursuer.
The same cursed loudly, as he finally reached the last level before the roof but was unable to reach us any longer
"They are on the roof, I repeat, the Escapees are on the roof!" he shouted in his radio.
"Damn you, we get you either way so stop running!" He shouted after us as we walked over the roof looking for somewhere to go.
"What now Brother?" Yin asked me.
That building over there it doesn't look far, if we do it right we might jump through that window." I explained as I pointed to the other side of the roof.
"Let´s take a look." Yin replied nodding.
We were halfway over the roof as suddenly we could hear the noise of an incoming Helicopter.
"Dammit, those are the cops!" I shouted as they came in sight.
"Yang, over there, our escape is blocked!" Yin shouted as she pointed in the direction we were going, out of the door to the lower level a troop of heavy armored Policemen emerged for ing a line and pointing their guns at us.
"You have nowhere else to run, give up you Kids!" The men in the Helicopter shouted over Megaphone.
"What now, shall we give up!?" Yin asked me.
"Dammit..., what now?" I though to myself as I looked at our situation.
A high building, ourselves and our enemies on the roof, our only ways out were occupied to both sides by them.
A flying enemy was trying to threaten us, what do we do.
"Yin..., I have an even stupider idea than before and it will require the forces we possess, do you think you can bring them out?" I asked her.
"Yes if I visualize it like Nero told me to, then I can feel it circulating through my body, I then have to just expand it from within to out of myself, enveloping my body." Yin replied.
"Nero?" I asked unsure.
"Yes..., I heard that voice yesterday in the Park, as I was unconscious after almost being raped and hit on the head by one of the gang members, before I attacked that Guard, she told me to fight back and to save you as that guys shocked you so often, while pissing his own pants.
At first it was but her voice, but then I saw the silhouette of a Caninu Girl fading away, she smiled at me before vanishing, saying that my turn had come..., whatever this means." Yin explained.
"So you saw someone as well, me too, he said his name was Blank and that he and his sister seemed to originally had possessed these forces..., what when the girl in black clothes, which that man in the alley had seen, was the Nero you had seen in your mind." I told her and she nodded.
"Maybe, not that we got the time now to find it out." She stated and I nodded.
We never got to know, whose hearts had been transplanted within us and father did not bother telling us either, whether he even knew about it.
But it seemed that with the hearts also the forces had gone over to us, it lasted 6 months for them to manifest, to be accepted by our body.
It these hearts were indeed those of the ones that attacked the Shepherd Republic, we had the hearts of our mother´s murders within us..., what did that to us, now that we were murders as well?
Were we bound to become super-villains, was there no way to return to the path of a hero?
"So what is your plan?" Yin´s voice asked, ripping me out of my trail of thoughts, as we looked at both sides, where the policemen walked up on us, the fire ladder had been brought back down and so those guys which had been stopped on the last level walked now up on their side closing in on us, both sides effectively surrounding us.
The Helicopter flew between the parties on the other side of the roof, leading over nearly 80 meters down to the street.
"Either we use our forces to jump in the right moment and get inside of this Helicopter, knocking all the people inside out, all but the pilot, or we crash with high speed after a freefall into the street, shielding the impact with our forces." I explained and she looked at me in disbelieve.
"That is a terrible idea..., on both accounts." She stated.
"The other option is to get us arrested and who knows what they will do with us, we have forces they cannot comprehend and that frightens them and if they are frightened, they act aggressively.
I don´t know about you but I am not ready to be dissected or used as a guinea pig." I explained and she nodded.
"Neither am I..., I guess you are right, well I for instance hope we get that Helicopter." She exclaimed and I smiled.
"I hope so too." I stated.
"Well then, shalll we?" I asked her.
"I trust and follow you, Yang, so lead me on with all you believe and courage!" Yin replied.
"Then Let´s go!" I shouted as I began to run, pulling her by her hand.
"What are you Kids doing, stop it, this is dangerous, stay back..., do not kill yourself, this is not the answer!" The guys in the Helicopter shouted as they saw us approaching the edge of the roof.
"Sure, it´s not a suitable answer..., but it is one way out..., now Yin, Jump!" I shouted as we were a millimeter before the abyss, repelling us from the edge, using our forces to jump up in the air and bridging over the distance.
The face of everyone in the Helicopter was priceless, as we simply jumped within their middle.
"What the..., how is this possible?" They shouted in sheer surprise reacting several moments too late before we knocked them out and cuffed them onto the railing and each other before closing the side doors.
"What the hell´s going on back there?" The pilot shouted.
"Get us out of here, now!" I shouted, as I took the gun of one of the policemen and threatened the Pilot.
"Okay, just don´t shoot!" The man shouted in terror before he steered, he Helicopter away from the building and into town.
"How far can this thing go?" I asked them.
"I..., we..., I..." The man stammered.
"How far!" I asked again, pushing the gun in his neck, of course the safety switch was still on but he needed not to know that little detail.
"Around 200 more miles!" The Co-pilot exclaimed.
"Nice, then get us towards Bordaussie and make no mistake, one false thing and your grave´s been dough, understood!" I shouted and they nodded eagerly.
"What do you want there?" Yin asked confused in a whisper.
"There was a commercial that said that Merveille Million was attending an event there, for opening up a new Research facility, and that she would stay for a meet and greet." I explained.
"So you think this Merveille, which Nero spoke of too, is Merveille Million?" Yin asked and I was certain that this Nero must have told her the same, trust Merveille and Red but no one else.
"I can´t think of no one else..., as much as I know she is a luminary in the design of Mechas..., she will surely know if the Blank and Nero we have seen in our minds, are the ones who destroyed Pharaoh with their own Mechas and their forces.
It is only Natural that the People and authorities chase us, since we too used such forces, they do not want to take the risk of a second Incident like that.
Which means that we must find Merveille Million, if she once tried to stop Blank and Nero, then she will know more about these forces and how to suppress them or get rid of them..., or maybe how to control them." I explained.
"Yeah that makes sense..., I guess I just have to trust you on that." Yin explained with a smile and I nodded.
"Well then, off to Bordaussie!" I replied and the Pilots still frightened by us nodded eagerly, sweat flowing down their foreheads like the Niagara Falls.
One thing for sure, if we ever were to be caught, we would get in so much trouble for all of this.
We had already killed someone and murders with superpowers were most likely high on the blacklist of law-enforcements.
The next time we meet they surely will pull up the heavy machinery.
There were surely some hard times ahead.
