Chapter 5… Here we go!

Thank you StoryWriter2015, pworld12, and dtill359 for reviewing! Sorry it took so long for this chapter to be posted. For some odd reason, my AP teachers decided to give summer homework towards the end of July rather than at the beginning of the summer break. A big delay like this should not happen again.

I've also decided to add whose POV we are reading at the beginning of each scene (if there is a change) just like I do for the setting. It's just to clarify who is talking which pworld12 has suggested so thank you for that!


(Kakos POV)(29 March 2019, somewhere in Outerspace…)

"Kakos…"

The green FMian said as he entered my throne room. He looked at me with a face filled with hatred, extreme anger, and revenge. It was a face that I was used to seeing over my thousands of years of life. A face that showed me naivety, and ungratefulness. Of course, he was brought to the room by a couple of armed guards, who stuck to his handcuffs like glue.

"You son of a bitch. You rat bastard. Your reign will fall eventually. And I swear, when you do fall, I will laugh at your face, if not when I'm alive then with my dead corpse."

I nodded, used to the insults the FM King has given me. After thousands of years of keeping peace within the universe, I've grown tired of leaders of ungrateful races who foolishly confuse my peace for conquest.

"Cepheus. That is your name. Am I correct?"

"King Cepheus."

"I can tell you're an honorable leader, King Cepheus. Don't blame yourself for being unable to prevent the inevitable."

"You… have the audacity to take EVERYTHING away from me, my planet, my people, my family, my home and now you're trying to comfort me for the actions that YOU have committed."

Foolish. As expected from a king of a planet. He can never understand the bigger picture. He can never understand true peace. Following his fit of rage, came a sudden cloud of sadness as tears began to flow from his face.

"I've failed everyone. Why, Kakos? Why don't you just kill me?"

After hearing his request of death, I sighed and stood from my throne and walked over to the grieving FMian.

"Because, my naive FMian, the war is over. Planet FM is gone. Its people won't be a threat to the balance of the universe. There is no need for such an unnecessary death when no war is being waged."

"Because your empire is growing even stronger. Because your reign of terror is immortal."

"My empire? My reign of terror? If what you're saying is true, then how come planets don't wave a flag or symbol representing my rule? How come most planets don't even know about my existence?"

The green FMian stood in silence, knowing what I had just said was very true.

"War is inevitable, my naive FMian. The only difference is the scale, the severity of war."

"What do you know about war besides the devastating amount of lives it reaps? The millions of lives that YOU have reaped."

The naive FMian dared to ask me. A man who is incapable of grasping a simple truth is someone who is not worthy of a king's throne.

"My naive FMian, have you ever heard of the War of Trillions?"

As expected, his head perked up at the name of the war.

"It is a myth, told by my ancestors from generations ago. Are you basing your knowledge of war on a legend?"

"So you have heard of it. The war used to be called 'The War to End All Wars', though that term has been thrown around all the time. Except this war was greater than all such wars named that. It was a war of chaos, a war that brought about endless amounts of deaths."

"And so I assume the war was real then? And that you won the war?"

"No. There are no winners of such a war, a war that resulted in trillions dead, hundreds of planets scattered throughout the universe at conflict with each other. Once again, my naive FMian, you are wrong. There are only the dead and the survivors."

"And that is your excuse for murdering thousands of my people?"

"A small price to pay. Because of the thousands of FMians who sacrificed themselves, a war such as 'The War of Trillions' hasn't occurred in millennia. The universe can't be trusted to keep itself together. If there were hundreds of planets that existed like Planet FM, that were as advanced as the FMian species, the universe would descend into chaos, just like it did millennia ago."

Even after explaining the truth to the FMian, his face continued to be filled with rage and sadness.

"You don't know that. You don't know that a war like that would happen again."

"I am the only one who knows that. As one of the last two survivors of the war, I am also the only one who knows the true purpose of war."

"One of the last two-?"

"Lord Kakos, we found where the FM Champion is hiding."

A guard said as he entered the room. After speaking, the guard instantly kneeled before me, a sign of respect, but also a sign of fear.

"Why? Planet FM has been destroyed. The FMians don't concern us any longer."

"You might take an interest in the place he is hiding in: Planet Earth."

Earth. The same planet that killed Phantom just a year earlier. Phantom was always a tricky person to deal with. After all, Phantom was a criminal on Planet FM before he ever joined my army. However, with no trace of Phantom anywhere during the invasion of Planet FM, the appearance of humans on Planet FM confirmed his demise.

"Earth is a primitive planet. I don't have any interest in destroying the planet in the foreseeable future."

"My lord, may I remind you that Earth is the same planet that killed General Phantom?"

"Phantom was a fool. Killed by his own arrogance and greed for power. He may be strong but he was foolish to think he could conquer an entire planet by himself."

"With all due respect, Lord Kakos, I don't believe you're taking Phantom's death as seriously as most."

"Is that so?"

"I didn't mean that with any disrespect, sir! I swear I-"

"Send Andromeda to Earth then."

"Andromeda?! But after the invasion of Planet FM, Andromeda's power supply is only at 50% at most!"

"We can always rebuild if something goes wrong. New technology tosses old ones aside. Andromeda might be suffering the same fate here. If, of course, it is destroyed by humans."

"Such a primitive species has no chance against Andromeda at any such power."

With that, the guard stood back up, bowed, and left the throne room. The FMian King, who listened to the entire conversation, stared at the ground. His face was so emotionless it appeared as if he was dead.

"Planet FM is gone. Its people won't be a threat to the balance of the universe. If this is the case, then why don't you let me go from these chains and let me live my life elsewhere."

"You more than I know how influential a king can be his subjects. If word got out that the King of Planet FM was not only in my presence but managed to escape, it would cause a massive coalition of planets throughout the universe, a coalition that I wouldn't be so eager to put down."

"Then what about the other five FMians aboard this spaceship of yours?"

The FM King finally made a valid point. The other FMians on board were certainly high ranking individuals within FMian society, but if only one were to leave, only one, it would mean absolutely nothing at any of the planets of the universe.

"You aren't in any position to make any demands, my naive FMian. But I can feel your pain. It's a pain felt from the loss of loved ones, isn't it? A pain that has haunted me for thousands of years since that war. That is why, my naive FMian, I am making sure a war like that will never happen again, that this pain that the two of us share will happen to as few people as possible."

"How dare you compare a king like me to a crazed tyrant like you."

I couldn't help but chuckle at the FM king's foolish statement. Even after staring at the truth, the foolish king still refuses to accept it. However, as an act of mercy, I decided to grant the FM King his wish. I held a finger up in the air as I granted his request.

"One. One FMian is allowed to leave here on a pod and live life elsewhere in this enormous universe of ours."

"Then release the FMian known as Lyra."


(Geo's POV)(7 April 2019, New York City)

"Unbelievable…"

Despite being fused with Mega for well over ten minutes, I continued to stare at my new form in awe. The red visor that covered part of my face was a device reminiscent of the technology I've only seen in comic book movies. The visor itself was filled with data and information, not only having access to social media, the internet, etc. but also data that relates to my own personal health and the EM fusion system such as the current integrity of the armor.

"What else can I do while being fused like this?"

"Well besides enhanced strength, speed, and flight, you can materialize objects, basically out of thin air."

"Materialize objects?"

"Yep."

"How do I do that?"

"Don't ask me, kid. I work as the control center for this fused form. All the materializing and attacking was your father's work, not mine."

"So much for teaching me."

I muttered sarcastically. Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and envisioned the first weapon that popped up in my mind. As I began to exhale out, the palm of my right hand closed as I felt an object that so familiar to me yet still so foreign at the same time. I opened my eyes as I saw the Infinity Blade once again, shining as bright as ever.

"Uhh ok. Now try materializing literally anything else. You realize you can summon that sword without being fused with me."

"Hey, I'm trying my best."

I sighed as I lowered the blade to the ground. Closing my eyes once again, I tried to envision a weapon that wasn't the Infinity Blade as a small yet dangerous object began to form. I grasped the small weapon tightly with my hand. To an ordinary person, this weapon, this pistol, would be just a regular gun. But to me, to the people who have witnessed the terror of the Dealer gang, to the people who have witnessed this gun firsthand during the Murian Museum trip, this pistol only represented fear.

"Hey kid, are you ok?"

Mega asked. As my mind wandered back to Earth, I noticed that I had already destroyed the very pistol I had just materialized seconds ago without even realizing it.

"Yea, I'm fine. But if we can just use the Infinity Blade, what's the point of materializing regular weapons."

"If I were you, I would only use that Blade in the direst of situations. I've only known Kelvin for a few months but there are times where that blade, as powerful as it is, has put tremendous strains on his body. I'm assuming you've only wielded this sword for a few days."

"Strains? I've summoned this sword quite a few times but I haven't felt weird or anything yet."

"What I'm trying to say, kiddo, is that the Infinity Blade doesn't need to be used on lowly criminals. Especially when you and I don't even know the true extent of that sword's capabilities, there's no point in hurting ourselves in the process of kicking butt using EM Fusion."

"Wait a minute, who says I'm agreeing to going around and fighting people using this?"

"Relax, I'm only making you beat up criminals."

"That doesn't mean anything. I don't think I'm ready to take this big of a step-"

"Hey kid, you know you're getting on my nerves, right? Stop complaining and let's go."

"Ack, fine."


In a matter of days, the world I once knew was completely flipped upside down. Even just a few days ago, when I had first learned of the Infinity Blade and its power, my mind was completely blown as it opened my eyes to the possibilities of what science and what the world could achieve. If shock was the word used to describe how I felt when I first held the Infinity Blade, completely flabbergasted was the word used to describe how I felt now as I looked down to the city… from the sky.

"Well?! How do you like flying, kiddo!"

"Feels kind of weird. And I feel kind of scared."

"Don't wuss out of me now, kid."

"Mega, do me a favor and scan the area for any criminal activity."

Sure enough, a picture of a bank appeared on my visor and with it, a line appeared, probably to show the direction of where the bank and the crime were located.

"Unbelievable…"

"Kid, you've been saying unbelievable for like the past 20 minutes. When are you going to believe it."

"Haha."

I muttered to him sarcastically. As if It was something particularly easy to believe. It's not every day you meet an alien, invite him over to your house, and become flying buddies with him the following day. Even as I tried to layout the gameplay of stopping this bank robbery, I constantly questioned what powers this form really had, what powers it did not.

"So let's just say that those criminals are armed with assault rifles. How are we supposed to-"

"This body armor can do a lot more than just deflecting bullets. You can bet your life on that."

"Funny you should say that…"

"You ain't gonna die, kid. Trust me."

Here I was, hundreds of feet in the air, fused with a random FMian, an FMian that I should trust with my life despite almost killing him the day before.

It wasn't too long before we arrived at the scene. It wasn't just a bank robbery. It was a hostage crisis as well, with an armed gunman holding a woman at her throat, another holding the enormous sum of cash they stole from the bank. In front of them were three police cars, multiple officers and further behind, a huge crowd recording the entire scene in front of them.

There was a brief pause the second I landed. It couldn't have been more than half a second but it felt like hours as everyone, from the robbers, the police officers, to the crowd, stared at me in utter shock.

Using my stunning entrance to my advantage, I quickly dashed toward the gunman holding the hostage with such speed, it caught the gunman completely off guard as I tackled him to the ground. The now unarmed robber stared at me once again, this time not in a state of shock, but rather a state of fear. I couldn't necessarily blame him for it. It seemed like every minute I was in this form, something unbelievable happened that would leave me stunned.

My train of thought was interrupted by the sound of gunshots, coming from the last gunman behind me, as he tried so desperately to spray the metallic bullet on my back in an attempt to kill me. The bullets, however, were completely ineffective.

Guess you were right, Mega.

See, kid? I told ya it wouldn't do anything. I've done this many, many times with your father.

Well, you've never done this with me before. How was I supposed to know?

I'm the FM Champion, the mightiest FMian in the entire universe. You need to trust me more often, kid. I know what I'm doing.

That doesn't really mean anything. How was I supposed to know about this and your title or whatever-?

"T-thank you so much for saving me!."

I turned around and saw the hostage I had just saved and my eyes widened in shock. From afar, before I had reached the bank, all of the faces of the police, the gunmen, and the hostage were visible but blurry. But looking at the hostage face to face… blonde curly hair, wearing school attire.

"Uhh, W-who exactly are you?"

Luna asked. I couldn't help but panic as my eyes wandered aimlessly around my visor as I tried to come up with some fake name. As I looked around for a name to fake, I noticed that the two robbers were already being detained by the police. The police must've jumped on the second robber when he was attempting to kill me. I guess time really flies by when you are having an argument with an alien refugee. But a name… a name for this EM fused form of mine.

What the hell is the matter with you, kid? Why are you panicking all of a sudden?

Mega. Ahh, screw it.

"MegaMan."
