Part 3

Salting the earth, and the restlessness

Verwustung continued his march across the earth. Along the way the only life he made contact with were the Beings of Fire. Day after day and week after week he defeated them. A thought came to his mind. Why is he destroying this already dead planet? Why does he fallow the orders of Einwirkung, who cannot even defeat the being Eindringlin?

He came to a stop, and looked to the sky. Vernichter looked at him and began to speak.

"GREAT BEING VERWUSTUNG, DO YOU NOT TIRE OF THIS MINDLESS TREK? DO YOU NOT WISH TO LIVE A LIFE OF YOUR OWN? THE TIME HAS COME. THE GREAT EINWIRKUNG CANNOT WIN THIS WAR ON HIS OWN. MAKE YOUR DECISION. WILL YOU FIGHT ALONG SIDE HIM, OR WILL YOU RETURN HIM TO THE LCL SEA HE WAS BORN FROM?"

Verwustung stopped, and he turned around.

As of this time, it has been one your since the Third Impact occurred. The two humans are now living apart. They have built large shelters, and have had no contact in months.

At this time you may be wondering why no humans have emerged from the sea of LCL. This is the doing of Einwirkung. He has effectively suppressed the LCL sea, and kept all of humanity at bay.

Einwirkung has not moved from his spot sence his emergence 11 months ago. He looks into the sky.

"I DO NOT KNOW YOUR TRUE INTENT WITH THIS PLANET, BUT I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO STAND IN THE WAY OF THE ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION. THE WORDS OF THE SACRED SCROLL MUST COME TO PASS. NO LIFE CAN RETURN FROM THIS SEA"

Vernichter only watched. He moved just a few feet closer to earth. The temperature of the earth rose by 22 degrees.

Vernichter began to speak

"YOU DO NOT KNOW THE POWER YOU ARE DEALING WITH. I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF SCROLLS YOU SPEAK OF. I AM HERE FOR MY OWN REASONS, AND I WILL NOT DESTROY YOU NOR EINDRINGLIN AT THIS TIME. FINISH YOUR FIGHT, AND I WILL REVEAL MY INTENT TO THE VICTOR"

He went silent.

The male human traveled to the home of the female. He pleaded something with her. The next day they both began walking away from Japan. Away from the LCL Sea.

An object in space began to drift close to Vernichter, and a scream of pure terror could be heard. Vernichter fled from earth, but could still be seen near the sun.
