The Unified Soul

Is It Too Late?

The alarms rang loud and harsh, the bright red lights strobing with warning. Hola crawled on the floor in pain, wounds open and shedding a bright red crimson color. He looked up weakly and saw the monster that hurt him so badly, smirking at him with a devious glint in his eyes.

"I really didn't want to hurt you." Michael said, "But it's not like you gave me a choice."

Michael stood at the control panel furiously typing at the keys. He walked over to another panel and began typing again, but his fingers were trembling.... with anticipation for his plan's success.

"I've waited for too long for his moment." He muttered to himself.

Hola crawled over to the man and sucked in as much as as he could to speak.

"You don't know.... what you're starting..." He gasped.

Michael scoffed at the old man's warning, "That power you have. I've wanted it back for a long, long time. You see, I once had it too. A lavish amount of energy to use at my discretion. But my foolish son decided he wanted it for himself. And with the help of a powerful Goddess, he took it from me. I've searched a Millenia to find out where it came from and why it resonated with me."

He laughed, "And do you know what I eventually found? A diary about a man. His wife and son, and a comet, and a cannon."

Michael turned to the injured man, "How many times did you let them use this? How many people did you let them bring here? How many of their friends and family did you let them trick? How many people did you let Irene and Livana kill here?"

Hola didn't answer any of those questions. He knew that the truth was far too painful for him to admit, but he also knew that the souls of those who have perished in this monstrous weapon were safe in the arms of his Goddess in White. Most of them were willing to perish, while others were indeed tricked. But his Goddess always assured him and all those who came here, that they would be at peace, if not there, then with her.

Michael turned to back to the console, "All I am asking is to be able to do the same thing."

Without hesitation, he pressed a large red button, and the weapon, the entire room, shook violently with the activation. His plan was running accordingly and it seemed to be without fail. As the room shook, he saw the remains of a small battle that happened in that very room, a violet sword sticking out from the platform below.

The entirety of Starlight Wonderland shook with the activation of this weapon. The guests of the resort screamed and panicked, trying to find cover and to keep themselves and their loved ones out of danger.

In their ransacked beach house, Kawaii~Chan and Aaron grabbed onto whatever they could to stop themselves from falling to the floor.

"Oh please, oh please, oh please! Make it stop!" Kawaii~Chan shouted.

"An earthquake?" Aaron questioned and soon the shaking stopped.

"It stopped?" Kawaii~Chan sighed in relief, "Aaron, are you okay?"

"Yeah... I'm fine." He replied and looked around confused, "But an earthquake? Here?"

"That sent chills up my spine. Is that going to happen again?"

"Let's hope not."

"Should we stay her--- AAAHHHH!" Kawaii~Chan screamed looking outside the doors and seeing the patrol boat the GFs use, "The patrol boat!"

"What? Here?"

"It's outside. It just stopped. We have to hide!"

The two ran further into the house trying to find a hiding spot until the enemy left.
