The year? 2016. The world? Fucked.

To say that this is a happy story, I'd have to lie, which I hardly do. This story is fucked. This story is about a group of kids who fought and lost. This is not the future they wanted.

It was the future he wanted.

Many had tried to kill him, governments, world leaders, terrorist groups even. But he was too powerful. He could not be defeated. Everyone had lost hope that the world would ever go back to normal.

Then they met me. Well, they didn't meet me as much as kidnap me and put me in a cage and run test after test on me. They called themselves simply 'the fixers' I had caught them talking about some creepy dude named Brenner and how his son was continuing his legacy and by taking me they had somehow found a solution to HIS rule.

I didn't trust them. I knew who these fixers really were, they were spies for HIM. They took kids who had powers and they gave them to him to dispose of, he wanted to be the only entity with powers, it was better for him that way. When only he had powers, no one could harm him. I had thought the fixers had disbanded years ago. But judging by the fact that I was in this shit hole of a room, they hadn't.

I looked out at the blood red sky, the spider creature that was in the sky looked down on us all menacingly. I wasn't afraid of it though, I wouldn't be afraid of HIM if he were in this room right now.

I heard the door open as a blonde haired man in white came into the room holding a clipboard. He smiled at me sweetly. But I knew it was just a facade. He wasn't a nice person. He wanted to hand me over to HIM after all.

"Good morning, Twelve" the blonde man said to me. I tilted my head. I had read the name tag on his shirt every day 'Peter ballard' he had come in every morning to try to test me. I groaned

"You know my name, asshole, use it!" I cursed at him. He only looked down in disappointment

"Tsk Tsk Tsk"he said as he came towards me and grabbed my chin and made me look up at him "still with that foul mouth, hm? Disgusting words like that will get you nowhere in life" I smirked at the man as I lifted up my hand and gave him the finger

"Fuck you" I said simply. He sighed and went to get a can. When he set up the can he looked at me

"Try to crush the can, please" I sighed as I looked at the can, trying my damndest but to no avail

"We've been at this for months, dickhead! I already told you I don't have powers!" I screamed at him. He nodded and picked up the can.

"We'll try this again tomorrow, Twelve" he said as he left the room leaving me alone again.

"Mother fucker" I said when he left.

Yep, this was my life, sad isn't it? I didn't know it at the time but I was the only one left who could defeat the emperor, everyone else had tried, but failed, I was, somehow, immune to him and his tricks.

When I meet him, he is so fucked.

" Henry please! You are hurting everyone!" I heard a girl say. The man named Henry turned to her. It was him, the emperor, He chuckled lowly. "I can help you! Just please stop this!" The girl begged as she cried. I saw him step forward, using the elements to his advantage, he was floating now.

"Don't you understand, Eleven? I've already won. Look around you. Everyone is dead. I told you there would be consequences for not joining me. This is all your fault." The emperor said as he conjured fire in his hands. He smirked "Welcome to Hell. On. Earth. I control everything!" I jumped as lightning struck "you are nothing! I think it's finally time to do what I should have done a long time ago" he smirked as he twisted his neck a bit and the girl, Eleven, was lifted into the air, immobilized. I saw him twist his arm and I saw her leg break. "This all could have been avoided if you had just listened to me and stayed in that damn closet!" She screamed in pain as he broke both her arms. He lowered her " but you just had to be a little brat!" He said as he flung her into the nearby rock face. He floated over to her "I've waited almost a decade to do this... goodbye, Eleven" I saw him twist his neck and her neck twisted backwards, killing her. I saw him release her into the pile of bodies that was on the floor.

The scene changed, he was now standing in front of a crowd of people, Eleven's dead body floating next to him "people of Hawkins! This is what happens when you have hope! It dies! Anyone who wishes to live in my new world will need to prove themselves to me. If I look into your heart and see darkness well... you'll end up like your little savior here" he said as he dropped Eleven "you people are nothing but dirt beneath my feet! You treat people like me like crap and then you expect forgiveness after, no, not this time. It's time you repent for your sins!" I saw him blast lightning into the crowd, people started screaming as he set a flame down the street. It engulfed the people running and screaming.

He floated down the street, firing lightning, Ice, fire anything he could to purge the land of people he deemed unworthy of his new world.

I saw him kill parents but leave the kids, I assumed he wanted the kids to reshape the world the way he wanted. Heh, he sure did that alright. I saw demogorgons, bats and all kinds of Hell demons appear and start ripping people apart. I saw him smirk.

I saw images of death and destruction, all caused by him. Year after year. The yearly purge of people he found unworthy was broadcasted, mostly it was of the people who had powers.

This is the world he created. A world of fear and chaos.

I woke up with a start to see Peter looking at me again, ugh, did this guy have a life? Seems every time I wake up he was in the room staring at me. "What?! Do you like preying on innocent children? That get your dick hard or something? Ugh, freak" I said as I turned around

"You were having those nightmares again, twelve, I was purely checking in on you, making sure you were okay" Peter said as I groaned.

"Well, as you can clearly see, I'm still alive! Now goodbye!" I said as I closed my eyes.

"You have no idea who you truly are" a voice said to me as I looked around. It was his voice. When I looked around all I saw was the door closing.
