Chapter Fifty Six: Fighting Two Wars
Frost's POV
I walked along the white, empty, unmoving field of white grass that never swayed to the cold, silent wind which never brushed against my exposed skin. Alone I was, venturing aimlessly through a world belonging to Black, trying to find something. Anything. But nothing. No matter how far I walked or how much I thought, nothing changed. I was ISOLATED. No one, nothing... Just pure emptiness...
With every step I took, more and more thoughts slowly entered my mind, whispering to me about something I was unable to comprehend. Like they spoke backwards... I kept walking, gently crunching the grass with every damn step I took in this forsaken place as the whispering grew louder and louder until it reached the point where it became a single, female voice...
My heart pounded hard. Painfully hard. My ribs wanted to shatter to it's intensity the moment I heard that voice. It gave me an unsettling feeling. One that could drive many mad, one that could bring one sane. The voice, was Phase's. A part of me was relieved, knowing that I had someone with me in this isolated place of the damned and another part of me was upset because... It wanted to be alone... Untouched, unheard, unspoken, unloved, unseen... I could go on, but time is on my hands... The war has already started, and I need to find my way out of here and help them. Phase spoke to me as clear as day from behind me all of a sudden, making my eyes widen a tenfold in shock and fear as I immediately spun around in anxiety to come see the little girl standing three metres away from me...
"This way", She said with a small smile plastered across her adorable face which tuned up my sanity and made me smile a little. Her light blue, long, twin tailed hair swayed round as she spun to face behind her. I blinked, watching her slowly walk away as I took in a small breath of the silent air and decided to follow her... I could ask her questions, but I'd rather not... I know, deep down, that this Phase is not the real Phase... This is the only choice I have at the moment. To follow her restlessly beyond the white world of isolation...
Chaos's POV
I grit my teeth as I held my massive two handed, breaker blade in both my hands horizontally and swung it at a large group of black armoured enemies. My blade easily tore through their armour and sliced through their bones like cheese at their waist, ultimate slicing them in half and spewing out all of their innards like vomit onto the ground as they dropped like old clothing. I grunted to the horrific smell of blood and gore and prepared myself for my next attack, reeling my blade up to my left shoulder.
As hard as I could, I sent a devastating horizontal slice at even more enemies, then rinsed and repeated the same thing over and over again while the others kept on bombarding the enemies with countless of overpowered attacks. Like Melody's for example. She can fire an arrow that can mow down an easy six thousand!
Screams, battle cries and the sound of metal hitting metal were the only things audible in the world right now... Hehe... Even tho it's like that... My body's reacting so naturally... Haha! The feeling of war is pleasurable in it's own way! It's comparable to a first kiss! Haha!
I grit my teeth, putting on one hell of a large grin as I swayed my blade upwards, slicing a good five of the enemy soldiers into two pieces of meat and jumped into the air, watching more enemies swarm me from underneath. Hmm! Haha! Let's we how you all like this!
As hard as I could, on the way down from my large, inhuman jump, I slammed my blade downwards whilst activating one of it's special abilities. Magnitude! Haha! Let the world tremble under my attack! My blade SLICED easily through a bunch of soldiers and impaled the ground horizontally with one hell of a loud, earth shattering explosion as grass and dust bounced up into the air like confetti, covering me within. At that moment, my black, massive sword vibrated lightly, making me smile more broadly and tighten my grip around it just before it started to shake TREMENDOUSLY.
I bent my knees as the ground that I stood on shattered and cracked into a million pieces of soil whilst everything outside of this boundary shook like a fifteen point five magnitude earthquake! Ahaha! That's one hell of a disaster! And best of all, it only effects those who I despise! Meaning that my team CAN'T feel nor see the effect of the earthquake whilst the enemies take the full effect! Such a cheat attack with no penalties! Haha!
Ruby's POV
Eww! That smells like rotting meat and old fish! How can Frost smile when he smells this?! Gah! I didn't even have to move on this enormous battle. I just stood there, in the middle of it all with my arms crossed as they kept swarming me, oblivious to the fact that there is NOTHING they can do to attack me. Literally!
My blitzing flames surrounded me like a wall, incinerating everything that touched them to ashes as my pet Flame roamed outside of it, burning even more of the enemies which made me feel a little happy. Everything in my eyesight was red and orange. The grass was shrivelled and burnt a deep black colour to the intense heat of my flames and the sky directly above me burnt a nice grey... I hope the Colours are doing fine against Blue... I'd hate to see one of us die in this war!
Sino's POV
One thousand two hundred and twenty metres is where my target stands. Yellow and Red are doing an excellent job at stalling. All her moves are now easily readable. Whenever she prepares for an overhead attack, she delays for a good two seconds then strikes down. The blade positions just in front of her face and is sharp enough to slice through metal even if you stroke it gently. Her hand arches a bit upwards... Meaning that of she gets a shocked at that area, she'll be forced to reel the blade back straight to her head... Perfect. Those two did great. Now all I have to do is wait five seconds before she even bring her hand up to her head and aim an inch above her right eyebrow... I've never missed a shot. And I don't plan on missing one now!
I stood my ground, smiling evilly as I stared through the dark green scope of my overly large sniper rifle with the black 'X' held just a tad bit over Blue's right, dark blue eyebrow. She too, had a large grin on her face and looked like she was saying something to the two who continued to batter her with little 'child's play' attacks. Haha!
My left hand held the barrel of the sniper steadily as my right index finger stroked the dark green trigger gently, more than ready to pull it down and end Blue's suffering once and for all.
I took in a deep breath of the blood stained air and held it in, smiling more broadly as I watched her send a horizontal slice at Yellow who easily dodged it. Ahaha! Three! Two! One! FIRE!
Yellow's POV
HYA! I jumped back, dodging her light blue marumasa which nearly sliced me into two pieces and rushed at her again, reeling my right hand to to right of my head clenched into a ball of capital H for hurt with sharp daggers in between my fingers... She took three good steps back right before a soft explosion sounded from far behind me, making me grin as she suddenly gasped, raising both her arms above her head, ready to strike down at me. However, she wasn't paying attention to me... She was watching Sino's bullet come spiralling towards her! Checkmate! I took this once in a lifetime opportunity and leaped forwards, paying very close attention to her movements as the bullet came whizzing by my left ear and struck both her hand point blank in the centre. She cried in agony and took a step back, but she wasn't done. Haha! Her blade flung backwards and sliced a good chunk out of her left cheek, exposing the solid, white bone within and the binded, rope-like muscles drooling with blood. I smiled and instinctively, in mid air, I performed a clockwise cartwheel, just knowing that her homing sniper rifle was about to impale me. As expected, the moment I was upside down, her light blue, sharp sniper flew right past me from behind as my hair fluttered land spread like the tail of a peacock.
"What?...", Were her final words as I landed safely on my bent knees and immediately sent one hell of a devastating punch to her face, impaling every single one of my knives point blank into her eyes and mouth which shot out a large portion of blood and gore. I grit my teeth, exposing my jaws to the world as her blood stained them... I pulled my hand back harshly, lodging the blades out of her face and letting her drop down onto the dark red, blood stained grass onto her knees first then onto to the right lifelessly... Haha! Sino just performed the Phantom Bullet! Ah! What show was it?! About some girl with a sniper and a guy with a phase blade inside of some 'shoot 'em up' game? Damn! This was almost EXACTLY like how it went in their showdown! Ahaha! I feel so alive!...
I took five good steps back to Red, slashing the air in victory as Milk, Frosty, Chaos, Ruby, Sapphire and Diamond helped the army clean up the rest of Blue's allies... One army down! And two more to go!
"Haha! Great job Yellow! But you didn't have to kill her so brutally", Red said from my left loudly. Haha!
"Brutally? This is nothing compared to what Black would've done!", I claimed, and she agreed with me completely... That's right... Black would've ripped off every piece of their flesh, break their bones, pull off every strand of hair in chunks and pry our their teeth as well as plucking out their eyes... I hope that Frost doesn't get caught by Grey... If he does... Then we're so dead...
"Numbskull! I nearly hit you!", Chaos yelled at Frosty from the front right, making me smile as I immediately turned my attention towards them to see Chaos swaying his right clenched fist in front of his face at Frosty who cheerfully
smiled at him like a child... "Do you WANT to die?!".
"Not my problem. You swing after the battle for no reason so it's not my fault, ya know?", Frosty said childishly, GREATLY intimidating Chaos which made me laugh at them... I hope this continues. I don't want anyone of us to die... I wonder where Frost is... And what's on his mind... Hehe, maybe he's thinking about cheating on White for me... His lips were great!
Frost's POV
"Black's history is similar to yours, only a lot darker and violent. She went through a lot and did many horrific things that I'm sure she regrets doing", Phase said to me as I followed her through the white, empty, grassy plains of frozen time. "Listen closely to what I'm about to say. This will increase your odds of living and escaping this place in one piece. Listen to this completely, then you have a shot at freeing Black", She added. I blinked, staring at her from behind with a confused and wary face, wondering what she meant by 'freeing' Black. I took those words to heart and opened my ears for her, ready to mesmerise any word she'll throw at me.
"I'm all ears", I simply replied, clamping my teeth together and grinding them left and right to fight the uneasy feeling that endlessly fought against my sanity, threatening to beat me down and toss me into the pits of insanity where I'll forever live without a purpose...
She giggled like a child, looking back at me with her light blue eyes over her right shoulder uncannily which introduced an unsettling amount of fear to also attack me hard... She ceased, turning back to face the front and clearing her throat before she spoke in an elegant tone of voice which immediately consumed me...
"Black Melody. The last child of the Melody family. She's not related to Realm Melody in any given way, so don't get confused", She began... I nodded and imagined everything she said and made it like a little movie to help me remember this and understand it better. We continued walking, never stopping for a quick breather. Just endless walking... "It started even before her birth. People despised Black's family and kept them in the dark, behind cages. Black's mother, was pregnant at the time, and she got whipped and whipped and whipped... The little Black inside, could too, feel her pain. They suffered together, whilst the father was kept inside of a separate room and beaten over and over, day after day until he was no longer recognised as a living thing... This was the era when the Human's invaded Corozin and tried to kill every single FrostBitten alive"... She suffered even before she was born?... That alone can bring even me down to her level of insanity... Dammit... I don't want to hate the Humans again...
"Not long after, Black's mother went to labour. She screamed and screamed in agony. The humans threw her into a completely dark cell where she screamed with all her might... She didn't want the child. She despised it. She thought it was the reason why her life became a living hell, so she cursed at her child and forced her to stay inside of her... Not knowing just who her child was... After a fierce battle against mother and daughter, the mother exhaled in relief, thinking that she had won however... A black blade shot out of her womb and tore her open to free Black from her prison. The mother's entrails swept all over the place and stained the walls and ground with red, thick, viscous blood... You might of seen something similar before, right?"... Damn... So that's what my nightmare was... Black tearing out of her mother's stomach... But why was White there?
"Both her and her father were free to go due to a threat sent by someone by the name of MAXIS, or for short, your father"...
"Eh? My father was involved?", I asked calmly, not wanting to lose focus on her words. Deep down, I really was surprised to hear that... But why DID he?... Phase is terrible at telling stories... I have to bare with it... Wait... Didn't my parents die after I was born?!... "Wasn't he dead? And... Why did he save them?".
"You'll find out soon... After freeing them, he gave a small ball to Black and left without a trace. Black's father took the ball and kept it for safe keeping... Five years later, she enrolled at a school. A school filled with humans who despised her... Her father died a year ago and was taken in by two humans who treated her like a slave... She had thoughts running around her head. Thoughts about killing herself to ease the pain, but she didn't want to die so easily..."... Argh... I understand her pain... I too went to a school... And received the same treatment. But I did it with a smile... Back then, I didn't know how anyone else felt... I thought pain was the only feeling... And it felt soo good...
"She endured for half a year, and at that time, she was ready to give up and pull a knife to her throat until she saw a certain boy walk the corridor of the school with a bloodied face... She dropped the blade and stared in shock at him, wondering what happened to him until she saw his ears... She knew immediately, that he too, was going through the same thing she was"... Bloodied face?... Ack... My head's throbbing a little.
"The next week, while she was being beaten, she for once shoved a kid away and made them fall over... The kid began to cry, and Black soon was surrounded by the teachers who stared down at her with whips tipped with fish hooks... She knew very well what was going to happen to her, and for the first time, she refused to follow orders. She couldn't take it. Nor could a certain someone..."... No... I... I remember something... Argh!... That school... That forsaken school!... I... I... I...
"The certain someone, went on a rampage that very day. Killing everyone on sight with only a kitchen knife in hand and a horrific stars that made many die of fear... Black watched from a distance, stalking him quietly as he continued to slaughter more and more people. A military force broke in from the main entrance and attempted to take the child head on. Black hid inside a broken wall and watched as the child smiled and took fifteen bullet to the chest and five to the head. He still stood, trembling and STILL smiling at them with eyes that looked like they felt sorry for the men who opposed him... Black shut her eyes and blocked her ears as more explosions blew out of the men's weaponry mixed with their screams of agony... She stayed there, for a whole day before crawling out to see a bloodied mess of nothing but mangled, multilayer bodies left by the child... She stood over the bodies and found it humorous. What that child did, triggered something within her which shut down her sanity for good..."... I... Triggered her to become a mass killer... No... That can't be right... I'm sure I killed everyone inside the school... I burnt it down a day later-... I see... I don't regret it tho...
"Her adopted parents caged her up once she came home. She smiled the entirety of the time no matter what happened to her. She didn't go insane however. And that was all thanks to the ball she had with her the whole time inside... Then one day, they too. The ball away from her... The moment it was out of her sight, she became completely insane but at the same time, she knew well of what she was doing. That night, she broke free by gnawing the lock off with her razor sharp jaws and literally ate her parents, leaving only their bones and heads in tact as she laughed hysterically. She tried to compose herself, but failed and ended up killing over five million humans over he next two years... And because of that, the humans went to full force against the FrostBittens and took down many camps, orphanages, schools and towns... The moment she realised her misdoings and woke up from her slumber, she committed suicide by jumping into the fault line... But she didn't go out that easily..."... The Colour Plane?
Melody's POV
"H...Holy hell! Melody! Just what kind of Maiden ARE you?!", Yellow asked me in shock as I held my crystal, light blue and green bow in my left hand straight in front of me with a magical arrow readied on the fine string made out of Dimensional Silk. Hehe. I'm the only one in the world who can get this ultimate rare material! It's literally unbreakable!
"Maiden of awesomeness!", I cried and pumped in a butt load of magic into my arrow, making it glow a bright light blue as three magical circles took form in front of my bow and spun like gears, ready to greatly ramp up my shot a tenfold. Haha! The only person I know who can withstand this attack is Frost!
I charged my bow up more and more, making the circle spin faster and faster until they glowed a bright yellow and resembled a flat-topped drill head. Smiling evilly and taking aim at the countless foes a kilometre ahead, I fired effortlessly my hundred thousand barrage of arrows accompanied by many other arrows fired by White's soldiers. Haha!
The enemies looked up in pure terror, witnessing an absolutely beautiful sight which prevented them from moving as the knew very well, that it'd be impossible to avoid the deathly hail of arrows that resembled a swarm of lethal jungle wasps. Light green, blue, yellow and brown arrows tipped with silver iron heads spiralled their way towards the opposing team a kilometre away. We've already taken out a good one twentieth of their army and Orange seems to be rather pissed. Haha! All the more we should keep executing our long ranged barrages! Too bad non of them are archers!
A cold wind blew across the wild, vast, open grassy plains that was smeared in red viscous blood and the rotten entrails of the damned littered everywhere like mine bombs. Our arrows hit, striking down most of their front line and some in the middle which plastered a smile across my white, blood thirsty face which craved for more and more gore for the sake of it. If it's Grey we're up against,
then I have no real reason to hold back other than the fact that she's Nova!
"Everyone ready for the next wave! Arm your arrows!", I cried our as loud as I could and at once, everyone spread the word with loud battle cried with made me chuckle cutely. Hehe. There was one, big, beautiful melody made as everyone pulled their strings at the same time, inflicting a good dose of adrenaline into my bloodstream which contracted my pupils as more and more of my power channelled straight into my magical crystal bow. Haha! "Aim! FIRE!", I cried and at once, everyone repeated what I said in loud cried as high pitched whipping sounds filled the battlefield along with the sound if shards being shattered. Ahaha! Let it rain on those who oppose us!
"Frost! Colours! Charge in and make your way towards Orange! We'll support you from back here as much as possible!", Star commanded confidently like a real warlord from behind me.
"Right now?!", Yellow complained in sudden shock.
"I give orders! You follow them!", Star yelled angrily at her... Haha. She's so different when the atmosphere is dangerous! If this wasn't war, then she would've made stupid threats! Hah... I'm the same tho...
Jace's POV
This battle seems too easy... We have yet lost a man yet and... They're planning something... But what?... Think brain! Think! Think! Think!... They're luring us! But why? We'll keep Frost at the far back of the war, and I'm sure that they know that... Just what is Grey planning?
White's POV
My movements were like an exotic ritual-like dance. I moved with the cool, blasting wind that fluttered my hair and spread them out like the tail of a peacock. Frost fought not too far away from me from the right silently, easily defeating many of the black-armoured soldiers which restlessly tried to take him down... I shot a small glance at him, staring into his eyes as I took a step back and noticed that his right, light blue eye was a light purple and the left was a light blue...
I spun around easily deflecting five consecutive strikes all around me with the edge of my blade, forcing them to stumble back and fall over, taking down at least another ten. I did NOT waste this opportunity and quickly raised my blade over my head in reverse, arched my back and stabbed the blade deeply into the red spiky earth, lodging it a good one third and immediately channelled as much white magic as possible. At once, a white magical circle appeared on the ground that I stood on and immediately, large white spikes shot up and impaled the surrounding enemies cleanly before returning back into the ground... Good, I have roughly ten seconds before another group attacks me! I shot another glance at Frost as I swiftly pried my blade out of the earth to see him easily take on the men, almost as if they weren't even trying against him... I wonder why...
Red's POV
I absolutely SHREDDED Orange's shields with my rocket launcher that I held with both my hands over my right shoulder, bombarding her countlessly with red, shark-faced rockets which had similar payload to five C4s. Sulphur and carbon dioxide emitted from the barrel of my glossy red, shiny, oversized launched which made me smile and gain some adrenaline... She held her hands in front of her face, bracing herself against my endless barrage of payloads which made me feel a little sad for doing this to her. But then again, she's CORRUPTED. Like I have a choice!
"Blue, Green! Fire!", Yellow cried and at once, two explosions, louder than my own emitted from the far right, making me instantly snap my attention towards the sound to see two bullets fired out of two sniper rifles head straight for Orange's head point blank... The bullets exited her skull, exploding out chunks of pink flesh and small fragments of her thick cranium out from the left of her head. I laid off the trigger, ultimately ceasing fire as I watched her easily drop down to her knees and land face-first into the blood soaked grass limply. Capital D for dead! Haha! This is too easy!
Jace's POV
We're tearing them apart with no struggle... Something's not right. Something feels really damn wrong... But what?... Grey's army is three kilometres ahead just in front of the mega castle of Highpoint which I could BARELY see from it's transparent outlines... I guess it's time Frost heads to the back. We CAN'T afford to lose him, less we want to all die in the most horrific way imaginable... Damn... Me and Star will have to fight at the front lines and prioritise entirely on defeating her army before confronting her... Anyway, she's want that as well...
Grey's POV
So close... I can feel her. I can smell her... I can taste her... I can't wait to bring Black to our side and unleash her ultimate powers upon the world! Ahahaha! It'll be game over for the world! No one will be able to stop her!
Shora's POV
He called again telling me to prepare a place for Frost to live in in six months time. I'm not sure who this dude really is, but if anyone can talk about Frost so formally, then I trust them EASILY without any doubts. He claims to be some sort of... Er... Final product or something? Anyway, I'm just wondering why he wants me I find a house in six months time? And I doubt Frost would like to live in this continent. There are FAR too many borders between people in status... At least I think this is a continent... I mean, I THINK nine large chunks of land separated by seven kilometres of water and arranged in a circle with one in the middle COUNTS as a continent... I mean, back in my world- ah! Forget it! It's a continent!
