Miitopian Civil War

Chapter 14: You're All Dead

Date: April 1st, 2023

After a few minutes of fighting, the tide of battle shifts away from us because many Nazis who aren't androids have been killed or miraculously captured somehow instead. With them gone, the androids started having more room to attack and that wasn't good for us even with all of our gear and stuff. I still kept attacking but it was clear that these androids were the most powerful we have faced yet. I've only managed to destroy one of them despite all my efforts to fight. That is not a good sign. As if that weren't enough, the shrinking number of Nazi troops is putting the best ones in the spotlight to give us more trouble. Even though the air was freezing and visibility was absolutely horrible, our enemies were still a huge problem to contend with. The only reason I didn't have trouble seeing ahead to attack any of them is because they stayed together in one large unit. Organized armies like this one should be able to destroy us. That would be how it is normally but we have specialties and the best armor on our side. One of the androids nearly burns a hole in my head but I dodge in time, failing to kill another Nazi as a result. That's when we finally started realizing just how big of a threat we were facing now. "Damn it! Swiftdrawer! Are you okay? You almost died!" "I know. Don't worry, I'm not dead yet! As long as I'm alive, I'm going to cut down as many enemies as possible! This is no time for kindness for the only mercy for any is a quick death or capture. I'm not fast enough to capture some enemies so someone better be doing that for me! We must avoid killing when killing isn't the only solution to stopping a particular individual. But otherwise, if we can't stop them through verbal, violent but non lethal, or peaceful means, may their heads roll to the ground and blood flood the streets, a sign of liberation to come. We're here to bring down a threat that is not being taken seriously in my world. Organized fascism in governments and beyond. If anyone tries to kill the marginalized, the workers, the people, or anyone I care about personally, I won't let them off."

Even with Deku, Sakura, and Goku fighting with us, the remaining enemies are proving to be a lot to handle. Some more time passes as I continue to move around as if I'm the living whirlwind of death, blocking and dodging many attacks while also cutting into whoever enemies I can. It's also worth mentioning that after all these battles and all this bloodshed, most of the remaining Nazis are hardcore fascists who are beyond saving. We've tried to liberate the minds of people like them from fascism but failed no matter what we tried. Due to there being so many hardcore fascists trying to kill us, it's likely most of those we capture are just going to end up getting disintegrated once we're done with liberating New Lumos with the latest addition to our forces: the rebels of New Lumos. Before we got here, they seized control of several skyscrapers and factories after peacefully resisting the sticks in the city. There was no apparent need for violence at that time and they wanted to make a point by performing a peaceful demonstration. But when the Nazis and the sticks that shield and empowered them attacked, they attacked right back. At this point, all the snow I see on the ground is covered in blood. Our enemies sent the largest force ever assembled of Nazis and androids after us today. Regular citizens of New Lumos are only a small portion of the forces. Most are originally from areas we liberated or other Nazi held areas. They even forced kids into this. Not just teenagers but kids and most horrifically, innocent toddlers.. The smaller comrades made sure to get them out of all the battles as they went on by knocking them out and transporting them to a new location where we have mental health professionals and child caregivers on standby. It's remarkable how many were forced to flee from Nazi controlled regions of Miitopia. Our intel networks are second to few if any at all.

If it weren't for Bray's spell, I'd be dead by now because I haven't been able to dodge every single attack that's been thrown my way. Naturally, that's very bad news and not a good sign for what's to come if Bray isn't able to recover her mana when she runs out of it to use again like earlier. I hate that we have to rely on just her to make sure most enemy attacks get healed instantly before they could kill any of us. It's too much for one person, even a sage like her. Just like how a knight such as myself couldn't hold back 100 enemies all at once alone. Right now, I'm attacking by myself in the whole slaughtering the enemy thing in the particular and precise around 200 meter squared area I'm currently positioned at. The android are having trouble hurting me but when they do attack, it takes a lot of effort for me to dodge or when that's not possible, block with my shield after quickly equipping it to my left hand before putting it away so I can keep attacking faster. Otherwise, I'd have to attack a lot slower to avoid my sword hitting my shield which wouldn't turn out so well. As more of them drop dead, the fear in the rest grows. Suddenly, the Nazis stop attacking and for some reason, they could successfully order the androids to stop attacking to. It seems I have been fighting against an entire squad of enemies this whole time who have been randomly blasted by projectiles from some comrades at different times as I cut them down. Their commander walks towards me despite the fact I sliced his right hand off while I was attacking. I stop attacking as well. I'm not going to fight if they're not going to but the second they resume fighting, more blood will be shed. This I promise. "You aren't afraid unlike the troops you command. You must have something you want to say to me. Spit it out. This is war. We are enemies. I have every intention to finish you off for the pain you have clearly caused to others."

"You. You wokeists. You act like you're the ones who are morally in the right. You reject tradition, reality, authority, patriotism, family, and more. Give up now or else we'll kill you. You have gone too far with your roleplay. We'll kill all perverts, freaks, and other undesirables. Society is falling apart because you won't subscribe to what we know works and keeps people together. You aren't sane. You are insane and creating mass hysteria, claiming that the undesirables don't deserve the suffering we're putting them through. Heretics like you are disrupting the natural order and claiming that society is a problem and that you have a solution that will magically solve everyone's problems." "Yes, I reject tradition. So what? No one should be forced into tradition. I believe that people should be allowed to do whatever they wish, so long as it doesn't harm any other life forms or planets or ecosystems. Is that so radical? Reject reality? Don't be ridiculous, there are 2 versions of reality each of us has. One of them is our perspective and the other is the narrative perspective we are most familiar with that comes from sources other than ourselves. However, each is flawed. I don't reject reality, I subscribe to a more broad view of it that factors in more factual elements than the views of the likes of you. I don't know just how truly twisted reality is but I'm understanding it more as time goes by. Screw authority, I don't want anyone to tell me what to do. Not the government, not the churches, not the companies, not anyone. Patriotism is meaningless to me, completely useless, a distraction. I don't reject family either. I just can't truly trust my own biological family. Not when they do even less than I do in my world about the crap that's going on. You'll kill me? Good luck with that. My goal is to have your blood spill onto the snow and my sword. I'm not roleplaying. Not here, not now. Your intolerance is vile, you're wasting your life believing fascist lies. Society is falling apart because it needs to fall apart to make room for a better future. A new society is forming throughout Miitopia. Our solutions don't magically solve problems. Magic can't fix everything."

I sigh before continuing: "I'm sane enough to look at things from both a logical and emotional perspective. I don't often feel strong emotion, at least not when I'm in battle. Yes, I lose my sanity sometimes but don't we all just lose it? Yes, I have a psychotic side but I keep it under control, not letting myself lose one of my strongest weapons, the sharpness of my mind. Mass hysteria? That's actually what you Nazis do. You pick a marginalized group, point fingers at them, demonize them, and play victim when they bite back. Who needs to live a life in accordance with the facts when you can just lie to get all the power? Right? No one deserves to suffer. Not unless they have gone way too far. Anyone who doesn't deserve to suffer needs a healthy amount of suffering to grow as a person. Nothing unjust though if it can be helped. What natural order? The society you speak of so highly about is the result of many years of magical and scientific innovation. That doesn't just happen naturally if nature is allowed to take its course without a dominant and intelligent species getting smart and capable enough to destroy forests, create lies and narratives to gain power, and so on. You can call me whatever you want but name calling is ultimately meaningless in the end." "Y-you! You're a whirlwind of death! You killed my men and hurt me! How dare you preach about your beliefs when you killed them all without mercy! You're all the same, so violent or so useless and depressing!" "Mercy? You think I didn't show them any mercy? Please open your eyes. I was ruthless. I admit it. However, I could have let them die slowly if I wanted to. I could have laughed manically as their blood splattered as I killed them. I could have cut one of their fingers one and took my time cutting off parts of them to make their death as slow and painful as possible. I've liked that name, Whirlwind Of Death for a while now. I never thought I'd hear it from someone else today. Go ahead, call me the Whirlwind Of Death! I welcome such a name. But enough talk, you're all dead now."

I cut the commander into pieces right in front of the troops he commanded before the commander could retort again. "I'll give you one chance to stay alive. Don't order the androids to resuming attacking, deactivate them, and surrender to me. If you surrender, I'll give you a chance I don't normally give to Nazis as cold hearted as all of you are. You will be taken to a recently built facility where you will be kept alive and have plenty of activities to enjoy. It won't be luxury but it will be good for you. However, you will not leave that facility unless your beliefs have shifted to not be a safety hazard. Or you have died. If you escape, you will be taken back in. We will find you if you try. But if you escape again, you're a mangled corpse. There will be no internet at the facility and the only books we will have are fantasy novels. There will also be no TV. If you have family, you can ask to have them move in to be with you. Surrendering means you have given up on killing at least for the moment. That's why I make this offer. Do you accept or do you want to kill me so badly and keep throwing your life away? Fascism is such a waste and pain." They all fire their guns at me, using entire rounds in just 2 seconds on me. I smile a little bit: "So you have chosen death. As expected. I gave your former commander a rebuttal to everything he accused me of and you didn't even bother to consider why I have the perspective that I have. We're not the radical ones. Your bullets don't hurt me. Listen, we just want a world where miis and monsters can live together peacefully and understand each other. Communal societies where resources are shared and wealth is worthless. Where the virtues of love, friendship, family, understanding, logic, patience, kindness, loyalty, happiness, balance, nature, nurture, harmony, stability, and peace reign supreme. Where things like greed, anger, despair, and hatred are minimized to the greatest extent possible or even outright eliminated somehow. Where almost no one faces discrimination and there's nearly no one who can force their will onto others. Changed my wording to be a little more realistic. And if someone does hurts others, they are taken care of by the community. Where the workers control the means of production. They own and exert the labor, why shouldn't they control the means of production?"

They don't answer me. Instead, they order the androids to resume attacking me, forcing me to struggle once again in the fight against them. But still, I refuse to give in. "Alright, if you want to kill me so badly, I'll give you more motivation! Your commander called me the Whirlwind Of Death. Little did he know that I already fashioned that for myself as a nickname. What a nice coincidence. Now I will show you why why I like the nickname so much. Haaaaaaa! Take this! I'll finally take you on as opponents my sword swings alone cannot overcome. You have proven yourselves to be a challenge to beat but I don't intend on being killed here. But if that does happen, I will have at least taken many of you down before you could take me down yourselves. Continuous Great Infernal Tornado Slash: 8!" And with that executed, more Nazis die but the androids are unaffected. The surviving Nazis are already bleeding out from some of my attacks up until now. I finish them off before carding all the dead bodies now around me even as the androids have a better line of aim at me now. Most life on this planet doesn't have long before they freeze to death. We have to hurry up and win all the fights in New Lumos before it's too late. And get the Planet Egg from the Dark Sage. The neon lights of the city are helping visibility a little bit but it's still hard to see anything beyond a 10 meter radius around me. But as I ponder this, a insane sight stops all battling throughout the city for a short time. A break I desperately needed. Getting attacked by 20 androids at once is a difficult and draining challenge to deal with. It begun with the loudest spell and other castings I have ever heard in my life. "This is my truth and what my teacher showed me how to do! I have gone further with it now that I have become a Scholar! Ultimate Fire Bolt! Meteor Storm!" "Freep, protect me while I use this relic to amplify magical attacks!" "Got it!" Grand Sage Art: Blazing Hell!" "I blaze my circuit!"

"Hey, meatheads, let me show you the @Ignister monsters who can really unleash the heat!" "I generate an Infernal Data Storm!" "It's time to go Plus Ultra! Hell Spider! Flash Fire Fist!" "Flash Fire Freeze!" "Don't hog all the glory! AP Shot x10!" "Entropy Ability: Heat Death of The Universe. That's not all I have to offer besides complaining about wanting a nap! Supernova! Red Giant Star!" "Fran, let's use fire magic!" "You got it, Teacher!" "*unison from multiple ninja* Fire Release: Flower Phoenix!" "Let's turn up the heat! Ultimate Drive Garuburn!" "I'm not going to be left out! Great Infernal Tornado Slash x100!" "*unison many mages* Tower of Flame!" "*unison from 3* Magnum Break!" "I am a peaceful being but I hold tremendous power. Kanoka Eruption!" "Our UFO isn't done yet! We teleported it away before it could be vaporized! I, Banana Pants announce its Solar Ray feature! Solar Ray activate!" "Pegasus! Stormbringer Attack!" "Libra! Infernal Fire Blast!" "Black Rose Dragon!" "Dragren!" "Sagittario!" "Hell yeah! Time for my most secret weapon: Infernal Bomb!" "I'll go so fast that my tracks burn! See you later, everyone!" "*unison of some* Flamethrower time!" "It's time for some more Fire Chi! Woohoo!" "Don't get cocky, Laval!" "I'm the fire ninja! I can do this! Ninja, go!" "Kevin, transform into a fire breathing giant dragon like we're about to or else." "Fine!" "Atomic Power Poots, go!" "I summon Number 61: Volcasaurus along with Number 54: Burning Visor and other fiery number cards and now, they attack!" "I summon Number 6: Chronomaly Atlandis!" "Odd Eyes, turn up the heat!" "Let's go, Elemental Heroes Rampart Blaster, Flame Wingman, and Burstinitrix!" "Bring on the firepower, my army of Ancient Gear Golems!" Some other fire monsters(or at least ones who can use some fire) and moves are used as well. Such as Meteor B Dragon, Flame Administrator, and Moonlands fire spells. Even Burn Wolf got involved. No, forget it. It wasn't just a few seconds that the battling stopped. It was a full 2 minutes. I forgot until just now.

The first minute was all the fire stuff being done. The next was watching and reacting to the effects. The winter chill and snow left as soon as the first few things were cast. By the end of a huge and blinding light of so much flame magic, chakra, and heat energy, Miitopia was seemingly back to how it was before the Dark Sage stole the Planet Egg. Mel speaks up as the battles remain stopped at the moment: "We have successfully delayed the effects of the Planet Egg's removal. It will be 15 minutes until all of Mii World gets plunged in the cold once again. We have bought ourselves some time to settle all of this before any life form can freeze to death. You Nazis will not be allowed to control the world as you see fit as long as there is someone out there left to resist your ways!" As soon as she finishes speaking, the androids I'm facing start trying to kill me again. "Damn it! I don't know how long I can keep resisting you. This is bad. And I can't even do much damage to you. And on top of that, there's no one around who can help me at the moment! I have to take matters into my own hands! Haaaaaaaaaa! Get ready, you damn androids because I'm going to go so far that I might as well end up dying at my own hands rather than your energy blasts! This is it! I will use every ounce of strength, willpower, and effort I can muster! Between my training with Goku, my gear, and Bray's spell, I can go so much further than otherwise right now! Because of this, I will demonstrate what I can do when destroying my body isn't out of the question! Be prepared!" I grab at the ground below me and pull so hard that pain fires throughout my entire body but don't give up. Once I'm done, I have pulled up a barrier made of part of the street below. It doesn't last long against the androids but it does give me the time I needed to go even further. I put my sword in its scabbard before running at one of the androids. When I'm close enough, I exert so much effort and willpower that I actually rip through to the control panel inside the android. I rip it out immediately and lift the android.

I use the android I disabled as a shield and a bat, hitting the other androids with them as they try to blast through them to get to me. But I'm far from done. I still have more to do. When they inevitably break apart from being hit by energy beams so much 2 minutes later, I drop what's left of them and pull out my sword again. I raise it into the air before going all in to attack. I summon fire tornados as quickly as possible with Great Infernal Tornado Slash over and over again. I don't stop for anything. I just keep going at it and start using it at a rate of 10 at once thanks to the continuous version I created but have yet to completely perfect which is fine. In minutes, I begin to start destroying my body faster than Bray's spell can heal it so I'm forced to stop before I die painfully. In that time, I generated so much force that I didn't just manage to wipe out those 19 androids. I also created a big gaping hole and killed a lot of Nazis without even targeting them. Some buildings were destroyed. I pant heavily as I actually feel hot and sweaty. A rarity considering the cooling vest I started wearing some time ago along with everything else I wear. Nevertheless, all such efforts were worth it and I created a big opening in the enemy forces that almost divided them into two. Myself and a bunch of others use the chance to get in the center of the gaping hole and let the Nazis and androids come to us. Once they've come to us, another round of death begins. Bray's spell is still going so I haven't died again just yet. What a relief. Dying isn't fun no matter how many times I go through the process of death. The fight continued on up until the eternal winter returned. We had just finished wiping out the remaining Nazis and androids. Then, all of us got some transmissions from other groups who were separated from us for a variety of reasons. "This is Steven. We're in what I think is called District 7. We just cleared it. I wish we didn't have to kill anyone! It hurts so much!" "It's a drag but sometimes, things like this must be done. Anyway, this is Shikamaru. District 8 is all clear now. There are a lot of bodies we have captured. We encountered a giant monster at the end of it but survived and won against em."

"This is the New Lumos resistance de facto leader, Borza. We liberated our headquarters in District 6 and managed to slaughter and capture anything and anyone who tried to kill us. I'm aware some of us were with other teams. We must find the Dark Sage and fast so we can retrieve what he stole. Let's meet at the base of the Tower Of Dread." "We survived but barely! This is Barla. Tower Of Dread and surrounding secret district all clear." Yes, we're in a district that was hidden for some unknown reason. It appeared out of hiding just yesterday when the spell surrounding it was broken by the New Lumos rebels. "This is Katori! Yuma! You better not have done anything too rash! Anyway, District 1 is all clear too!" "District 5 has been emptied of all enemy targets. This is Hit. We have secured the entire district and are ready to move out to the Tower Of Dread." "District 3's all good! Now when can I cast more nightmares on our enemies? Oh and sorry. I forgot. I'm Despair." "District 2 is all good! With our genius brains, it was easy to overcome the enemy here! EUGENE, don't interrupt this transmission!" "I hope everyone's doing okay. This is Yufa. Healing is being administered here in District 4. We'll be ready to go soon." And now, we know that we have defeated all of our enemies in New Lumos. However, the fight wasn't over as it was starting to get cold again. We all meet up at the entrance of the Tower Of Dread. PIXAL adjusts her volume settings and hovers in the air in her Samurai X suit: "I detect that we have only 15 minutes until all life forms who do not have sufficient protection from the extra cold will freeze to death." Emmet from the Lego Movie replies: "15 minutes? It's going to be 5:15! Wait, is Armomageddon going to happen here too?" "What a drag! No it's not!" "I want to squish those responsible for this!" "Of course, you do Scorm. But we have to focus on this problem first. It's going to bring on a freeze none of us will enjoy." "Damn it! Shut the hell up, everyone! We don't have time for this crap! We have to find him first! I call dibs on blowing his head off!" "I shall continue my healing spell once we get to him. Until then, I will not send more mana to keep it going. Be careful, everyone."

And so, the frantic search for the location of the Dark Sage begins. We use every avenue we have available. KI sense, Byakugan, my Artist's Eye, Mystery Inc and Pound Puppies' investigation skills, and so on. I teleport all throughout Miitopia, only using my ability long enough to try to sense the Dark Sage's magic. But nothing turns up. Instead, we're all forced to stop looking with 5 minutes left on the clock. Mel is the one who urged we stopped looking for now in favor of finding every single life form we possibly could in order to evacuate them. Those living compliantly in Nazi held regions were evacuated by the latest Nazi reserve troops to warm enough caves and such. That left the animals and rejected miis and monsters to evacuate in those areas. With so many of us working together, evacuating pretty much any monster or mii we saw was easy. Except for the big and really tiny monsters. Big ones took some convincing while the tiny ones were here to find and then teleport to somewhere safe for them to keep on living to stay warm. I was helping evacuate a village near Neksdor in the hills of Greenhorne when the 15 minutes were up. I had just evacuate some of the town's residents. I saw them really start to freeze to death right before my eyes. "No! I won't let this happen! No! No! I can't let you people die! Not when we're fighting in part for the likes of you! This is so bad! Damn it! *pulls out sword* I must warm all of you up before anymore of you can die! Haaaaaaaaaa! Continuous Great Infernal Tornado Slash: 12! This is my new limit of exertion before I start seriously hurting myself! Let the cold air be replaced by warm air that thaws out those who I'm not too late to save!" And so, I managed to save some more of the villagers from freezing to death. What I didn't know was what kind of horrifying things I was to experience before and after I got to the main location we evacuated others to. But for a brief moment, I was happy that I saved more villagers in time. "Honorable knight, thank you for saving us. It's so cold but you gave us the warmth needed to keep on living."

"No need to thank me. And please stop trying to flatter me. There's no necessity. Just stand still and let me teleport you. My moves won't keep you all warm for long." The mii who said that nods and stands still with the other villagers. I teleport all of them to safety and look at one of my friends: "Herbsalvin, thank you for helping me console those people. I'm sorry that I haven't spent much time fighting with you as of late." "Adam, it's okay. I understand why. It had to be that way because I would have been in much greater danger if we fought together in battle the entire time of this war. Instead, I have helped transport supplies, information, evacuees, and so on along with occasionally helping in battle as my previous life's form: a knight." "I just don't want you to feel unloved or neglected. We share a strong bond and I care about you a lot." "Don't worry. You're not the only one who struggles to devote much time to anyone during this war. I do too." I look around us and see some figures in the distance: "Hold the sentiment for later. I see figures beyond us. Don't tell me.. Damn it. I counted the villagers when I arrived here. There were 55. I evacuated 45. No no no no. The number of figures is 10. They're just standing there.. Nooooooooo! Damn it! We're too late! They're all dead! We have to teleport them immediately to the main evacuation cave so they can be revived.. How could I let them freeze to death on my watch? This is an emergency. The hell happens now? There's only one way to find out. Damn it. This is seriously so disheartening.." Herbsalvin's goes ahead to teleport the bodies as I continue to react. They transform into a knight in order to pull that off. I just stand them contemplating the circumstances. But then the memories of seeing innocents get killed and tortured mercilessly last month fills my mind.

I put my hands over my temples and start screaming in anguish as I stagger to the ground onto my knees. "This is.. A nightmare! I'm remembering what happened THAT day now! Aaaaaaaaaa! The sounds of misery and torture and killing! The graphic memories of so much brutality! Make it stop! Make it get out of my head! I can't focus on anything! *fails at burping* *throws up* The taste of my suffering! Not again! Not aga- *throws up* Can't- *throws up* I- *throws up* *not loudly enough* Herbsalvin! Hel- *throws up* *huff* *puff* ..Not again. These memories and this.. horrible sensation and taste.. My stomach isn't even that upset.. Am I done throwing up? Plea- *throws up* *cough* *cough* *pant* *throws up* *pant* *pant* *pant* *pant* *pant* *pant* *pant* ..I smell horrible and my armor is covered in my own vomit.." I tremble to my knees again and start crying while shaking but not from the cold.. Herbsalvin comes back to me. They gasp: "Swiftdrawer!!! What happened?" In between sobs, I reply in a sad and shaky voice: "I-I remembered.. what I saw at that.. horrible.. death camp.. again.. I-I threw up.. several times and I couldn't.. stop it.. I called.. for help.. but I-I wasn't loud enough.." "I cast Clean! *my armor is cleaned of the vomit* *wraps me in a hug* Adam, I'm here. I'm here. Let it all out just as you tell others when they need it." "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I-I feel better a little. But still.. *keeps crying*" "I teleported the frozen villagers ahead of us. I'll teleport us to the main safe cave. I know, it's not okay. But we're all working together to end the atrocities." I don't reply because I just tried to only to nearly choke on my own tears and throat mucus. Herbsalvin teleports us to the aforementioned location and I barely noticed due to my emotional state and all. Barla is the first to spot us: "There you are! Was wondering what the hell you were doing staying where you were! ..Adam? What's wrong?" I can't even bring myself to speak anymore so Herbsalvin who can speak normally in knight form replies for me.

"The frozen bodies of those poor villagers reminded Adam of that day.. They threw up several times and burst into tears. Since that, they haven't been how they normally are." "Damn it. I hate when this happens. I've gone crazy because of that day. I'll tell the others. Stay with them. Some of us are still trying to locate the Dark Sage but we have nothing yet. No trails. Nothing." Herbsalvin nods and embraces me in another hug. A couple minutes later, screams and crashing is heard. "Watch out! He's here!" "Who's here? Arrrrrrg! The Dark Sage!" Barla runs to us: "Get Swiftdrawer somewhere safer in here. They have no motivation to do anything and the Dark Sage would be encouraged to do worse things due to seeing them in so much despair! They're in no shape to fight. I'll be right behind you! Go! Go! Go!" Herbsalvin picks me up and rushes to a room further down in the cave. Once there, Im set down and Barla runs into the room. "Lockdown procedures along with defensive measures have all been deployed. We need everyone on board to fight and that includes you, Adam. That's why I told you what I did, Herbsalvin. The Dark Sage has absorbed the power of the Planet Egg. That's why we couldn't find him. We were able to evacuate all the evacuees to other sites in time. So far, only a few of our comrades have been injured. None have died but this battle has only just begun." "..." "Damn it. I never knew how strong despair could be until now. In my past life, I was originally a royal knight raised from birth to be one. Obviously, my alignment has changed. In that life, I rarely saw anyone in pain. I was shielded from the horrors hiding within Neksdor. But now I know everything."

"We need you, friend like so desperately that the situation is hell up there. Are you ready to face him again and maybe kill him for good this time?" "No.. I want to do something but at the same time.. This despair.. It's consuming me on the inside.. It hurts so much! These memories!" Tears start flowing faster from my eyes. "Damn it! Snap out of it. We resolved it. You killed a lot of Nazis by yourself and saved people from them at the death camp you went to. Where's the powerful and somewhat terrifying knight I know? Adam! Where the hell are you in that big noggin of yours?!" "I can't do anything! Not as long as those horrible memories haunt me! They haunt me!" "Well well well, if it isn't the burnt skinned freak along with the now sorry excuse for a knight and the transforming mutant!" "Damn it! Dark Sage! How did you get in here and escape our comrades?! It's impossible to cast magic other than healing magic in this area!" "I don't know how long you've had this cave set up so nicely but it doesn't matter, you freaks! Listen up. Before I kill all of you as no one is coming to save you, I'm going to explain everything just so I can delight in your suffering for that much longer! I brought back my former body that was assassinated by some certain freaks! And then, I implanted a copy of my consciousness into it and had it attack that main room in this place while I snuck in here after overhearing everything that's been going on here! And now that it's just me and you 3, no one will save you! My former body isn't as powerful as me but transferring a little energy to it is enough for it to hold in for a while longer! Certainly long enough to exterminate you freaks who are threats to my Project Empire! And with my new powers, your magic blocking things don't work on me! With you gone, I'll crush your comrades' hopes and dreams and use that to kill them all too!"

He stops talking for the moment but after holding us hostage with fear for 2 minutes, he speaks again as I continue to cry and also sniffle: "Now that I've kept you alive for long enough, it's time for you to all die and cry out in so much pain! Enjoy your last moment because you will never see Miitopia ever again! I'll send you somewhere where all you will do is suffer! Adam's already useless! I'll kill him last!" "Like hell you will! Adam's a they and they are not a he or a she! That's just how it is! You may think you have us overpowered but that doesn't matter when I have a little explosive surprise!" I watch while still crying as Barla pulls out a bomb with a piece of tape stuck on it with a mix of a highly effective glue and the substance I use to make my daggers deadly on the visible end of it. She throws it literally in his face and it explodes, ripping a hole through his face and causing the mix to splatter and then go inside of him. "How dare you! As punishment, I have made it impossible for you freaks to get away from me! You're all going to stay here and I'm going to make you suffer so much that you will beg for mercy as I kill all of you! Actually, my old body is start to lose. I'm going to hurry this all up. How lucky for you, I have to kill you all quickly! You're first, burnt skin freak!" He casts a spell and throws it right at Barla which didn't take long due to the size of the room. I tensed up, wipe my eyes of the tears, draw my sword, and intercept the spell with my shield which I quickly equipped as well. The spell was about to rip Barla's face into pieces. "So you aren't a completely hopeless human after all! It doesn't matter, all of you will be dead very soon no matter what you try!"

"Dark Sage! Yooooooooouuuu! Yooooooooooouuuuuu! *I start crying again but gain a sadistic expression on my face* You enjoy yourself as I wallow in my despair! This pain! These memories! It all hurts so much! I won't let you hurt my friends! I have no motivation! Just a desire to protect and kill you here right on the spot!" Herbsalvin draws their sword as well. Barla pulls out her biggest rifle. Tears stop flowing from my eyes after I stabbed the Dark Sage without actively trying too. He was caught off guard and blood flowed out from where I stabbed him. And with the substance now in him, I knew he was poised to die today unless he manages to counter it. I doubted he would but one can never know. My grin widened as Herbsalvin and I clashed with him as Barla backed us up. He wasn't expecting us to fight back. "I made you hurt! And now, I'm going to help make you hurt so bad that by the time the substance is able to destroy you, you have already been beaten to a pulp and deprived of the Planet Egg! You will suffer and it's going to be such a thrill to watch as you feel the pain you have deserved for so long for everything you've done! We can't kill you instantly or quickly with anything so now, it's playtime!" My grin widens even further to the point I go into Insane Mode: "I don't need anyone's help to make this villain suffer! But I will welcome it because it means he will suffer even more as I try to make him suffer! Suffer! Hold still, Dark Sage so I can hurt you and make you experience many lifetimes' worth of pain and agony! I'll make your nervous system scream as we force you to drain yourself of the magic flowing inside your repulsive form!" "Hahahaha! Now we're talking! You've lost it! I've wanted to see what would happen if I drove you to the verge and now, it's you who is going to die today! This suffering you are inflicting to me is nothing!" "Nothing, you say? Then I'll just turn up your pain!"

"You're a mortal freak! You can't make me suffer! I am above you, a superior who actually knows the-" I stab him mercilessly with my left dagger after putting my shield back onto my back to equip the dagger: "Know what?! Know what?! I won't let you feel any joy! I will suck it all away by making you hurt like how the Nazis want me to hurt! Ahahahaha! Feel this power, witness it, experience it! When this is all over, you'll be a mangled corpse with many mocking it! I wonder how tasty your blood would be! I can't wait to see it splatter all over the floor! You'll beg for mercy and I won't give you it besides for a quick death! Your blood! Blood! I want to see it gush out like a river! Oh how long I've waited to make someone suffer like this! All this pain and hate! I embrace the darkness and the pain so I can hurt you! Hurt you! Hurt you!" "Adam! You're not you! Snap out of it!" "Don't you get it, I'm always me no matter what happens! I break, I'm still me! I'm always me! Always! I'm just going to kill the Dark Sage! And then, I'll kill all the fascist leaders and Pmurt Nedib!" "The former New Lumos leader has already been killed!" "Damn it! I wanted to kill him! It would have been so satisfying but someone stole the kill! Someone stole the kill! Can you believe it?" As the fight progresses, I end up forcing the Dark Sage back. We bust through so many things and end up in the main room with Barla and Herbsalvin struggling to keep up. Barla shouts: "Watch out! Adam's gone insane!" "Insane?! That's putting it mildly! I'm going to make the Dark Sage hurt so much! Hurt so much! Stay still so I can hurt you even worse, Dark Sage! You're one of the ultimate targets to kill! I want to kill you so badly now!" To be continued.

Outro: Now this is one hell of a chapter. I had almost 0 plans other than a battle with Nazis and androids and the continuing of this adventure into the next chapter as well. I had a really bad incident in the bathroom a week ago as of when I'm writing this so I used that as a source of inspiration for a certain scene. Once again, this story isn't just for entertainment purposes. It's a warning about so many things. The ugliness of racism, the viciousness of transphobia, the cruelty of fascism, the evil intentions of Nazis, and more. I say evil as cliche as it kind of is but the word fits perfectly here. This isn't just a fanfic. This is supposed to motivation alertness and action. So many people are being allowed to get killed just so governments, corporations, the Catholic Church, and more can reap the benefits of letting people suffer for money instead of making our world a better place. To them, we're all disposable trash. If they deem us undesirable or of no use, they throw us away completely. Trans people are the most undesirable right now. Guess what's happening? Rights for trans people to even exist in public are being taken away, particularly here in the states. And there's a bill called the RESTRICT Act that would eliminate what's left of online privacy and criminalize the use of VPNs. Stay alert, get ready for hell on Earth. We're still getting to that point as things worsen and we run out of time to take action on so much including the climate. Again, be ready. Thank you for reading.
