ZARATHUSTRA

Beginnings

It was gone

Zarathustra stared at the alter in a stillness that seemed completely lifeless. He was rocked.

The sword...

His mother's blade was gone.......along with his fathers robes....

A horoth ran in and was just about to speak. It was blasted into oblivion by xenomovement.

Zarathustra: ....I can see you......

——————————————

On an alternate earth, in New York. It is being driven into chaos. Buildings on fire and skyscrapers near empty. The streets are filled with the citizens, chained together. They held their children in their arms and told them it was all going to be ok. But sometimes they would be knocked over by figures wearing white robes...

With hope symbols in their back.

One of these figures had incredible ornaments layered on himself. He stood in front of a crowd of white cloaked figures, like a commander to an army.

?????: WE ARE POWERFUL BECAUSE OF HOPE!! WE ARE HOPEFUL BECAUSE HOPE IS GIVING IT TO US!!! AND HE GIVES IT TO US BECAUSE WE ARE HIS CHILDREN!!! REJOICE!!!!!!

The figure unveiled himself, lowering the white hood that covered him.

His short red hair flowed in the windy breeze and his yellow eyes stared down at the people before him. They all raised their hands in joy. As behind him the city's occupants where being rounded up.

Raiku raised his hands up.

Raiku: OUR LORD!!!! OUR GOD!!!! HE LOVES US SO!!!!! HE CATERS TO OUR EVERY NEED. HE GUVES US WHAT WE NEED!!! HOWEVER IT MAY NOT BE WHAT WE WANT!!! REACH TO THE STARS MY FAMILY!!!!

Raiku then takes out a sword wrapped in a ornamental white cloth. It was stephanies blade.

Raiku: WHAT I HOLD IS THE HOLIEST OF HOLY!!! SOLID ESSENCE OF OUR GOD!!!! HIS HANDS TOUCHED WHAT I HOLD NOW!!! AND THESE CAME FROM HIM TO US!!!! FOR US TO SPREAD HIS HOLY WORD!!!!!!

Everyone below him screamed in excitement, hugging one another and crying. Truly touched and moved by the treasure that Raiku held. He held the beginnings of a god in his hand.

Raiku then turns away from the crowd and turns to two figures behind him. One was a tall and skinny man with dark blue hair, while another was a short girl with long black hair and red eyes.

Raiku: akuma...we aren't done spreading the word. We need to go someplace else. Preferably a different multiverse.

Akuma: this is ridiculous...I feel like your taking this out of proportion...buuuttt...it is kinda fun to take over worlds...so I'll go with you.

Raiku: very well then...and sozo. For a god of creation you truly are useful. Without your warping abilities we would have never found an artifact like that.

Sozo: well it wasn't easy. I had to find his home...

Raiku:...what?!...did you see him?...did you talk to him?!?

Sozo: no unfortunately. I had to be quick or else he would have saw.

Raiku: alright... well then sozo I leave this world in your hands. Make sure everyone here becomes a follower. We need everyone in this exenoverse to know of him.

Sozo: as you wish. Now go.

Raiku nods and walks away with akuma. They both then explode in their respective auras and zip off at the speed of light.

Sozo watches them fly off and then stared at the city he now has ownership off.

Sozo: soon these mortals will be like us....they will follow hope...

Zarathustra stood at his main window behind his throne. Staring out at the shell. He could see it all. He was practically there after all.

Horoth: master where are you going?...you don't have any assignments.

Zarathustra: my mothers blade and my fathers robes are gone.I'm going to get them back..

Horoth: master...do you truly need those thing-ERAUGH!!!

The horoth was seemingly pulled apart by a ghost as his remains where then flung around the room.

Zarathustra: yes.....I do.

Zarathustra then vanished with a huge boom.
