Meanwhile, the world of people, near the city of Dallas, one of the three planes was flying in the sky, the pilot was guiding the plane higher and higher to give every parachuting lover everything they expected that day, and on board one of the three flying planes, a certain man had an eye on everything, lands sky, that very day a man with two-colored eyes, blue and green, black hair in a camouflaged paratrooper uniform, looked at everything in a rather resigned way because he knew that nothing could be changed or done, what was under him was usually monotonous and so unchanged every day, such was his world, his home, come on, you could feel the general change, because dreams came back and part of free choice was still missing the final solution of the human world, a solution that could be given by someone with incredible powers, that's how he saw it, this is how Roberto Halski saw everything.
And his good friend, gray-eyed, in a similar outfit with a tight hood over his head, Harry saw much more in everything below, so much that on the day he was talking to Roberto he made his half-Polish, half-Italian friend constantly interested what his friend still had to say, except for the one big plan Roberto had prepared for himself today with the blade hidden in his right pocket.
There was a moment when Roberto, sitting by the window, was reminiscing about his life, how his beloved Marlena left him only three months, how his mother always taught him that money is the most important thing and that money can do everything, that women just looking at it how thick your wallet is and everything always works both ways.
- well, how are you Roberto, you're so pensive, what are you thinking about, better look at the beauty of our city, Dallas is always beautiful at this time, come on, I like this city best at sunset, then I like to dream and look at stars and sky. Harry said looking out the window at the tallest buildings in the city of Dallas smiling genuinely at the picture in the window.
- for me it's beautiful, but there is a certain stupidity in all this. Roberto said.
- I mean, go ahead Roberto, tell me what you think about all this. Harry asked, adjusting the straps of his parachute backpack.
- and see for yourself, a busy world racing to the goal, but everything is still so you can say natural, everyone is racing to earn as much as possible but they do not know and do not see that what you gain here will never be given to you forever, everything is until our lives are over, is it worth wasting time and being a slave to money and lust for power. Roberto asked, shaking his head.
- you know, this is how our world is constructed, you can't change it unless you reach for unimaginable power and break this system yourself. Harry said and his friend Roberto actually jumped in his seat as his hands clenched tightly in a strong grip.
- just the system, if there was such a dodger here, the constructor of this system, acceleration and lust for power and money, I would clean it up, even if I had no power, it will sound naive but I would create a revolutionary organization and what would happen next, time would show but Harry himself you know how it is, you yourself told me today what is the truth. Roberto said with clenched hands.
- yes, there is no constructor of this system here, a single constructor, because the constructors of all this are everyone, especially those who pull the strings, politicians, businessmen, corporations and all those who shape our world, television, and so on, and unfortunately with I can say with my hand on my heart that without a specific power there is no chance to change this world for the better. Harry said, but he didn't lose his good humor anyway.
Looking out the window, Roberto Halski breathed heavily because he knew that there was no chance to change, to stop all the evil that ruled the human world, come on, so much has already changed, and so mostly evil swept through the world, people blindly followed money, chased among themselves and fought for something that really doesn't matter because it will never be given forever, but the system was what it was, money and lust for power, but his friend sitting next to the resigned man suddenly looked seriously at Roberto and asked him probably the most important question what he could ask.
- Halski, tell me one thing, how would you deal with this world if you reached for great power like that, or you would find yourself in another world where the designer of the system is predetermined and real, what would you do. Harry asked looking at his friend and his gray eyes seemed to reflect the light beating through the window flying planes and his silent friend after a quick analysis of everything looked him in the eyes sure of himself and how he would play anything to break what ruled everyone, this filthy technocratic system .
- I would burn fire with fire, fear with fear and a lie with a lie, because this is the strongest here. Roberto said as his hands suddenly relaxed.
- that's for sure but and you know what that means if you had the chance to do it here as if you did. Harry asked as Roberto met his eyes again and replied quickly.
- I would certainly terrify the whole world, you know common misery unites the world the most, but I wouldn't break their main goal in this way, you had to use a lie here and fear alone would kill the whole system, because masses of people seeing what would start would overthrow the world's rulers and then they would think three times whether to go this way to evil or not, fearing me. said Roberto Halski, showing a certain crazy smile.
- yes, I agree with that, but remember, because fear and lies kneel before what fights them, and you know what that is. Harry said, avoiding his friend's bonding this time.
- what is it? tell me please. Roberto asked and Harry folded his hands in front of him and answered by giving the most important answer about what defeats fear and lies.
- innocence, dreams, and above all madness, not a madman but a madman who is ready to suffer the greatest consequences, to sacrifice his own humanity, to do so much evil for the greater good not guided by fear or lies, but fighting these two forces with his own fire, now you understand. Harry said and Roberto nodded knowing that he must be crazy himself because what he decided to do today was a symptom of that.
- I get it now. Roberto said to himself.
- but what would you do and how would you do if there was such a manipulator in this world, the creator of this system, how would you defeat him, tell me Roberto, how?. Harry asked and Roberto smiled again because he knew from the start how he would fight someone like that.
- I would show him how his world, his system breaks down, how everything he created will be lost forever and he won't be able to do anything himself, but I know that my path would not be easy if I actually walked it, but I know that the difficult path I if I choose it would only be mine and I could walk it, meet the challenge and all the hate of those I would have to hurt to achieve my goal, then I must not be weak, I must be stronger than my enemy and stronger, more evil, and effective and when such a world, such a system would collapse then I would rest, maybe today I will rest for a long time, maybe. Said Roberto hiding from his friend his right hand in his right pocket and this strange smile on his face, and Harry, seeing his friend's smile, laughed softly, nudged Roberto in the right side and whispered to him.
- I hope you're not planning a final solution today, you know, you'd make quite a pancake down there, but speaking of it, I love pancakes, especially those with spinach, they're amazing. Harry said, waving the whole thing off in a joking way as he always did, but his friend Roberto just glanced at him, unsure if Harry was joking or being deadly serious.
Whether Harry was serious or joking was always a mystery, sometimes when Harry talked about something in the most joking way about things like suddenly buying a flat he would turn such words into real action, once he even joked that he would jump in the water with a shark and do it the same day is it really, or maybe there was another issue and it was never about him, about his friend, suddenly Halski trembled because he began to connect certain facts, he even began to believe that his friend was planning something similar but in a more spectacular way but he himself today he couldn't do anything because Harry once did everything he said in jest but most of the time he spoke three by three usually doing nothing, he once said he'd be dancing on a hockey field during a thunderstorm holding a lightning rod in his hands but never this he didn't, Harry even swore once that he would jump off a skyscraper screaming "I like Cookies" at the top of his lungs, but he never did either, but the questions and uncertainties remained in the end, everything was interrupted by a parachuting instructor in a camouflage uniform marching between the seats.
- well, people, we want to jump, check the last binding races, everything must be prepared for the jump and I would not like something to go wrong on my shift, we understand each other. Said the Instructor and everyone including the two girls across the street checked all the bindings of their parachutes the same as Harry and Roberto Halski had done.
- ready. The first student spoke up.
- good, now you will show the world that you are adults and not some little children who cry for no reason. Said the Instructor as he passed the two friends and Roberto, listening to him, looked at his friend and rolled his eyes from right to left, his blue and green eyes shining slightly which meant only one thing.
- what's so bad about it, as for me there is the most innocence in children, you yourself said the truth. Roberto said and Harry nodded in response.
- you're right Roberto, there is the most innocence and dreams in children, a child will always go against the current system, and not because he is stupid or underdeveloped and not prepared for the current world, no, a child is like that because he dreams, because he believes, because he does not follow this path, but as you know, children are quickly changed by the world, television, and everything that surrounds him, you know, buy me a toy and what mommy says when a child, after being indoctrinated by shops, wants to get himself some funny shiny thing, what does he say.
- I know what he's saying. Roberto said laughing under his breath.
- Roberto, you shouldn't laugh at this, you should cry about it, cry about it. said Harry and Roberto nodded and spoke again.
- we have to joke about it because we can't do anything, but what about times like this, because what will the mother say to the child, I don't have money or it costs money and money has the greatest value, funny, children are fooled from a very young age that money is everything, it's a shame to talk Or that money buys happiness. He told Roberto to which Harry shook his head and Roberto looked at him rather confused because it was probably the first time Harry had disagreed with money and his opinion.
- it is said that money does not give happiness, but frees you from unhappiness, because when you have money, you can cure a sick child, you can rebuild a burnt house, you can do anything to fix the losses, that's why there are collections organized in the world, collections for sick children, that's how it looks , so if money frees you from unhappiness, it does give you happiness, but it's only because this is how our world is constructed. Harry said waving his right hand.
- you just got flares Harry, that's how our world is constructed, so we only have one thing left. we can go against this world by fighting the system on its terms or we can do something crazy. Roberto said grinning at his friend.
- exactly something crazy. Harry said as he did the same until his smile fell on the two girls sitting on the other side to whom he waved and winked.
- you see, these two are looking at us terribly, maybe after all, we'll invite them for coffee, something sweet, you know. said Harry poking his friend in the right side and Roberto wrinkled his nose still remembering what happened three months ago.
- Roberto, remember, it's in the past.
- Harry, but don't forget, everything is the same, they too, first extended their hand to you and then they will reject it when they see how much you have in your wallet, besides I don't know if I can, I mean have time for it. Roberto said as he clenched his hands together.
For a moment, Roberto looked uncertainly at his friend, afraid if he would see something, but as always, Harry laughed loudly again, turning everything into a joke and nodded to the two friends who again started to giggle at the two friends.
- I will have time today, but if you want to fight the system in this way, it's no problem, but please, I can't handle it, just me and them two. I don't know if I have enough money to invite them here or there, you know. Harry said and his good humor made Roberto take a deep breath, feeling safe. At least in this case.
Finally, the instructor called everyone standing at the door which, when opened, will begin a great spectacle at the end of today's day.
- listen to me everyone, the pilot gave me a signal, we are at the right altitude, and the right place away from Dallas, as you know, none of us would like to fall arbitrarily into a city where we could crash into a skyscraper or a car or a speeding bus, check again bindings and action, and then one at a time each of you come to me. said the instructor.
- Mr. Boss, we know what to do, we are not children. Harry replied confidently with a genuine and confident smile.
- Yes, I know Harry, you are hotheaded as always, but in case of safety you always have to be safe, there are no children and adults here, we are all equal here, so please don't underestimate it, we understand each other. Said the Instructor and Harry turned to the right and nodded.
- one at a time, then, and it's about to start, in exactly ten. Said the Instructor counting from ten to zero, then the door of the plane was opened and the first paratroopers began to jump out of the open door from the plane and the deck, which was tossed by a momentary gust of wind.
Roberto, knowing that his big moment was coming, stood at the end of the queue of parachutists ready to fly and jump, lovers of adrenaline and amazing views combined with extraordinary sensations, that was the plan, but as it turned out, it was thwarted by his good friend Harry who, surprisingly, stood behind him for the first time at the end of the line which usually never happened.
- Harry, what are you doing, you've always been the first, and suddenly it's changed. Roberto Halski asked with a surprised face and a slightly nervous voice.
- see, change of places today, I want to make some changes in my boring lifestyle today, something new, something unusual, but maybe I'll invite these two lovely ladies on a date and I'll chase you home, ha ha ha. Harry laughed softly and Roberto, seeing his friend as a strange joker, shook his head, knowing at the same time that Harry would rather not stop him, because as always his friend only saw a joke in everything and always made a joke.
So Roberto was confident with every step, and his right hand gripped something more than just a parachute strap, and when it was time to jump, Roberto, full of extraordinary strength, looked at his instructor in camouflage uniform and nodded, then jumped through the open door plane, so the flight began and Harry, jumping after him, signed aloud, always shouting the same thing.
- Yippee-ki-yay. Harry screamed as he spun through the air, racing at the same speed towards the ground.
It was that moment, Roberto saw the rest of the paratroopers who were rushing from the other planes to the selected place, and he himself, knowing that there was no one behind him but the joker, suddenly made a sharp turn to the right, with goggles on Roberto smiled, and looked at the sharp knife held in his right hand, it was the moment when a big smile appeared on the face of a crazy man.
- this is my time, time for the end to matter. Roberto said to himself, and then the blade flashed where the parachute bindings connected to form an anastomosis.
The blade cut the binding, the backpack immediately glided Wigura, leaving a man falling alone behind him, and Roberto smiled for the last time Samp crossing the barriers of his own madness. Overcoming himself and doing something that was somehow and stupid but in his mind there was no other way out, all he saw, all he remembered, his mother's teachings about the power of money, his lover's deception when Marlene left him for a richer man and of course he knew that he will not change the world have led and led this man, led Roberto to this very place.
Roberto, feeling a kind of release, was rushing through space, he smiled for the last time until his eyes hidden in goggles opened wide because it wasn't what he wanted, not what he heard, but it was the scream of his friend who, diving down, was chasing him trying to save and Roberto Halski didn't wanted.
- Roberto, you crazy!. Harry screamed as he raced across the sky in a falcon's dive pose.
- Harry, please don't do this to me, it's my only way. Roberto said when suddenly Harry interrupted him again, first showing that familiar crazy smile on his face and then showing something underneath him.
- I know, your dear and it's your choice, now you have to choose. He said Harry and Roberto didn't understand any of it at first but as he looked down he saw something he couldn't understand much less believe, it was a portal opening in his path, a portal leading to another world, a portal itself reflecting a reflection night sky full of stars.
Roberto with bulging eyes looked into the portal and then at his friend grabbing the parachute string.
- remember, you must be strong, it's your choice, choose well, and don't forget to defeat evil, fight it with its own weapons, hold on. Harry said as he pulled the string, opening his parachute.
Harry soared up, stopped from falling as his parachute opened, a yellow dome appeared above his head and Harry disappeared somewhere in the distance and Roberto, rushing down, looked at the open portal again, knowing that now everything depends only on him, and what waiting for him on the other side, Roberto smiled and directed his flight straight into the open portal and then what seemed impossible an hour ago happened.
Roberto fell into the portal and it quickly closed behind his back and what he saw and felt was completely different, everything was soft here, there was no wind or anything here, just space pierced by rushing stars and every second brought him closer to the last glow, Roberto rushing in the tunnel took off the goggles from his face and threw them into space, then everything shone with the last glow and the eyes of the madman suddenly appeared a huge desert, Roberto instinctively clenched his fists and drew his blades, took a combat form and landed on a granite, disk thrusting the blades of adamante down to his fists and as this happened Roberto felt a power within him, an indescribable power as Roberto stood up and pulled his blades out of the granite disk he looked down at his own hands rising slowly off the ground a few inches.
- X-Men, I have X-Men power. Roberto said, looking up at something that surprised and shocked him because it was a meeting, a very strange meeting, before him Roberto saw two cats, a dog in a sock, two people, one wolf, a komodo dragon, and a red fox lady with pink hair, and on the other side of the black hog, and in the middle between the gathered and stood the Man in the Blue Suit with his hands behind his back.
Everything started to rush again because Roberto already knew, he understood it immediately, he found himself in a world full of extraordinary creatures and magic, now all that was left was to assess what and how, and then hit the one who was the constructor of the entire system, but as it turned out, at first it focused to one question only.
- who are you, what kind of world is this. Roberto asked, focusing his question on the Man in the Suit while he kept his hands behind his back and spoke to the next chosen one.
- welcome to another of the chosen ones, after Alex Kowalski, Lucas Nowak, Carlos Kozlowski and Anders Malinowski found portals or tokens now you have found your way. Said the Man in the Suit and his words made Roberto Halski shudder, remembering the newspaper article about four disappearances in a few months, now it all focused even more on the Man in the Suit, as it turned out, he was the one who knew the most.
- like the next one, this article, they know like me they found their way to different worlds! who you are. asked Roberto and the Man in the Suit without emotion, without feeling looked up at the sky, looking at the gently flowing clouds.
- that's how the randomness of the cosmos works, you were chosen, you found secret portals like you and Lucas, or gold chips like the others, it doesn't change one thing, the final choice was always yours, it was and will be if any of you ever find another token again be an open portal, because it has never happened that as many as five chosen ones appeared in a year, it's rather unusual, but to the point, listen, because it's not very important here. Said the Man in the Suit himself slightly hovering above the ground and standing in full concentration Roberto was waiting for his every word.
- the contract has been concluded. said the Man in The Suit, pulling the contract from behind his back and showing it to the newcomer
- I gave a man a great power, the same as you now wield, he wants to become a tyrant of this world and will ally himself with the constructor of this system that rules this world. The Man in the Suit said, and Roberto's eyes, both green and blue, suddenly blazed with real fire, as did his clenched hands poking their blades out of the Adamant.
-the creator of the system, who is he. Roberto asked cruelly angrily, and the Man in the Suit pointed to a black hog in a white suit, with gold around his neck and on his fingers, and Greed, seeing the fury on the newcomer's face and knowing his powers, took three steps back.
- it's Greed, he built this whole system, lust for money and mutual acceleration, but it's not over yet because as I said, I made a deal with a certain man. Said the Man in the Suit, still holding the deal high with his right hand.
- I'm listening, please tell me, the sooner you finish, the sooner I can take care of them both. Said Roberto Halski, rubbing his hands together and creating sparks with blades on blades.
- then, Mr. Roberto Halski, listen to me, because this is the last part of the deal. Said the Man in Suit hiding the contract behind his back and going through the last part of the contract.
- a man wanted everything, power and such, he wanted power, great power and I gave it to him, but he made a reservation that I would not call his rival here, and this world would never be a worthy opponent for him, and it happened, but he forgot about the token and the token called you, and here it is. Said the Man in Suit Roberto looking at the gathered, their uncertain faces until his eyes met the pink eyes of a red fox in a blue kimono with white flowers and that unusual pink diamond heart around her neck, it was the moment when Roberto didn't hear the last words being at the same time a warning against what was about to happen right now, against the blow of his opponent.
However, it was not too late because Roberto quickly saw in the eyes of the fox lady sudden fear, fear, fear, everything that alerted him to the danger, and when the red fox lady with pink hair opened her mouth and raised her left hand, Halski knew what and how, he knew everything .
- watch out for you! Love screamed and Roberto in less than a second spun around and stopped the enemy blades on his own with his clenched fists staring at his opponent's bald face, facing his gaze and surprised brown eyes.
- what a miracle, no!, not that!. shouted Gary Williams pushing with great strength but with equal strength, super strength Roberto Halski answered him until suddenly he released his pressure, turned around and released his blades and surprised Gary fell into the trap he ran further and stopped behind his opponent's back, then they fell the most important words, the words spoken by the Man in the Blue Suit.
- as stated in the contract, Gary Williams, here is your opponent Roberto Halski, now let the battle begin. Says the Man in the Suit looking at the fight as Robeto spins on one leg slashing his and his blades at the opponent, ending with his laser blasting out of his eyes.
A powerful beam pierced the space of the world and hit the surprised tyrant, sending him far away, and the beam itself seemed to be getting stronger every moment because it was used by a real madman.
L
The chosen one is his great and free choice now it's all up to Roberto Halski but will he be better than Gary Williams.
