The Red Halo: Outset

the last straw

(y/n), Reimu, Chei, and Kysa were all at the church so they could attend the funeral for the peaceful protesters who had lost their lives in the protest. Everyone in the room stayed silent especially (y/n) who was the most saddened about their lives being taken. Father Sang walked up to the podium.

Sang: we are here to mourn the death of the protesters who tried to stand up for what they believed in. Most of us didn't know them but maybe in the future we could if they weren't taken from us too soon, now the only thing we will remember them are their names and the lives they once had. They believed that everyone was equal even though not everyone had the same thing. They will be remembered for being brave souls who died standing up for what they believed.

Here (y/n) was again, at a funeral to mourn the death of innocent people. People who died trying to do the right thing. It made him angry for a lot of reasons. To think someone would just take their lives without a care in the world and act like it was the right choice to do. Two innocent kids were killed and now 150 people are now dead. He had so many emotions going through him right now. Anger, sadness, rage, and hatred. Hatred that felt like an eternal flame that will never be put out even when the entire existence of everything dies. He felt like he had to do something about this, but what?

"YOU KNOW WHAT YOU MUST DO"

(y/n)'s thought: 'I know what i could do, but i don't know if i should.'

"YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN BRING TRUE JUSTICE INTO THIS WORLD"

(y/n)'s thought: 'but i'm not sure my sense of justice is right'

"YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID, YOU KNOW THEY KILLED INNOCENT LIVES AND RUINED OTHERS, SO IT IS ONLY FAIR IF WE RUIN THEIR LIVES FOREVER."

(y/n)'s thought: 'what do you mean by that?'

"WE MAKE THEIR LIFE MISERABLE, MAKE THEM WISH THAT THEY WEREN'T ALIVE ANYMORE, MAKE THEM REGRET ALL THEIR SINS THEY HAVE EVER COMMITTED IN THIEF LIFES."

"MAKE THEM ALL SUFFER FOR WHAT THEY DID"

"LET THEM KNOW OUR RAGE. LET THEM KNOW OUR HATRED"

(y/n)'s thought: 'no i can't. I don't know if I'm capable of doing that or even if it is the right thing to do. What good will it bring?'

"IT WILL BRING CLOSURE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT LOST THEIR LOVES ONE TO PEOPLE WHO ABUSE THEIR POWER AND THING THEY'RE ABOVE EVERYONE. THEY WILL FEEL A SENSE OF A HAPPY FAMILY KNOWING THAT THE PERSON THAT TOOK THEIR LOVES ONE AWAY FROM THEM IS SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES"

(y/n)'s thought: 'will that really bring happiness to anyone?'

"ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT"

(y/n)'s thought: 'you're not even sure yourself, so why should you take your advice?'

"OH YOU WILL"

(y/n)'s thought: 'yeah let's see about that'

"WE WILL BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WANT TO MAKE THOSE THUGS SUFFER FOR WHAT THEY DID. TAKING AWAY A CHILD FROM A HAPPY FAMILY WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD AND GETTING AWAY WITH THE CRIME UNPUNISHED. I KNOW YOU WANT TO BE THE ONE WHO BRINGS THE PUNISHMENT TO THOSE WHO HAVE HURT THE WEAK AND THOSE WHO CAN'T DEFEND THEMSELVES. YOU ENJOYED IT WHEN YOU HURT LEO AND AJAX SO MUCH. I KNOW YOU WANTED TO DO THAT FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I KNOW YOU WANT TO KILL THEM SO BADLY BUT YOU NEVER A GOOD REASON TO. I KNOW YOU WANT TO KILL PEOPLE LIKE THEM AND NOW YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO NOT ONLY KILL PEOPLE LIKE THEM BUT TO BRING TRUE JUSTICE FOR ONCE. SO BE THE PERSON THAT PUNISH THOSE WHO HAD GOTTEN THEIR WAYS FOR TOO LONG, PUNISH THEM FOR THINKING THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO THE WEAK, BE THE REASON WHY ALL OF WAKA KNOWS THAT THEY HAVE NO POWER OR RIGHTS TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. BE THE REASON WHY NO ONE GETS AWAY WITH THE CRIMES EVER AGAIN. BE THE REASON WHY NO ONE HURTS ANYONE AGAIN, INCLUDING NON MAGIC."
