KaijuShifters

Chapter 9: The Split

The next day I end up at infant island with the other shifters. We stand in two rows. One row has Brian, Hunter, Crystal, Bre, Elliot, Ryan, Peter, and Matthew. My row has Me, Liz, Mason, Zach, Jordan, Anthony, and Brendon. "This is it Logan. After this, we will not hesitate to kill you or anyone that you love." Brian said. "What did I ever do to any of you people?" I begged. "We don't like that you're the leader. And we're all mad at the world in some way. And with these new powers...well what's stopping us from killing anyone that stands in our way?" Brian asked. I looked at him with a suprised look. "If you do this. You will be misusing your power." The shobijin pried in. "Well there's nothing you can do about it. So I guess you can't stand in our way." Elliot said. And just like that, Juan transformed into Rodan and they flew away. The shobijin put their hands on their heads. "What's wrong?" I ask. "Everyone, you must listen. We don't care if the situation comes to this. You must not kill them." The shobijin state. "Why?" Asked Mason. "What if they threaten the ones we love? If any one of those shifters attack my family. I will not hesitate to kill them myself." "You musn't. Because if you do, then things you can't even imagine will be thrown out of balance." The shobijin beg. "What do you mean 'thrown out of balance?'" Anthony asks. "We've only had these abilities for five months and now all of a sudden we'll set things off balance if we die?!" Anthony asks impatiently. The shobijin sigh as they continue to explain. "You are not the first of your kind. Ever since this earth was young, we've been here with a prophecy. Where beings that are deemed "worthy" will be led to a certain kaiju that died in a great war. It lasted from sixty five million years ago to just three thousand years ago. And long before the universe was born, a war between the light and the darkness was fought. You see? When you stumbled upon your kaiju, it wasn't an accident. And when we said that you weren't the first of your kind, we meant that there were humans around during the end of the kaiju war. You are a new generation of that. A better generation." "Where are they now?" I ask. "They're all dead." The shobijin reply. "So what difference is it when we die?" I ask. "They didn't die from fighting each other." The shobijin state. Liz nods her head. "What if we can convince them to come back?" Jordan asks. I shrug. "Is there any more we have to discuss? Because I have to get home soon." Zach said. "Yeah Igotta go too." I say. And just like that we all depart. And I go home to make some adjustments to my swords and costume.
