The Cycles of Fate: Glass Society

Chapter 8 " The War Part 2 "

"Devil acting as narrator " long before sandman revival, there an important stories to be told " he hold his breath a bit then continues " Before he left the battlefield as the adventurer, getting consumed by the enforcer of fate, the black death, two other Important neo-humans were fighting, Torn and The Rope, it was idealistic fight, both were fighting for their ideals, standing for who both represent, both were on different sides of the spectrum" he holds again for a bit then continues "Well without any additional information, today I will tell the story of the hero who didn't sell the world, but the world sold him"
On the battlefield we see both parties, Torn and the rope fighting, while everyone else from perfects to imperfect are for first time seeing the monester, the black death, even the imperfects wo spent their entire lives trying to find him, were scared of his presence, it was the moment that flipped everything, their immortal life meant nothing In front of the enforcer of fate, as if the concept of death has finally hit them, for first time the neo humans have became the closet to the original humanity.
We see both Torn fighting using his shield and his other hand was shape like a hammer, it was his idea to reshape his path of life in the way he wanted, it's only natural that hammer is his weapon of choice, since it Forces things into place.
While The rope is using two sickles, which are attached into chain, he used it to cut his enemies as entire groups were destroyed by this effective weapon, the chain helped him to be not In face of his enemies.
As they both fought, it was an philosophic fight as an skill battle as well, we see torn charging with his shield forward, deflecting the rope sickles, he they are now facing face to face, torn raises his hammer, preparing for a hit , but rope using his chain , he bring the hammer down, both are skilled, it feels as if no one is out powering the other.
The rope " you want the cycle to not continue? For the world to rot and die? I won't allow such an ignorant and foolish behavior"
Torn " I will change the world, I will cling to it, the cycle is simply an way to escape, not to fix things, you are too detached, not willing to accept the truth, but In the end your running won't get you anywhere"
The rope " you know, what I might be doing is wrong, but you are.. more wrong, fighting this world won't result in anything but pain, not embracing the truth, trying to change it is the path that was CHOSEN by consistent reincarnate" he stops a bit and then continues
" The old black rope is right, I've always understood him, I always was afraid that I'm gonna bear his suffering, his continoues trials to stop the cycle, to end the world, this world is already dead, sick and it will continue to reach this state"
He stops again for bit then continues
"BUT now after living long enough with consistent reincarnate memories, I've understood him, he is a man who wanted to change things like you, he wanted to do the right things, but he never known that fighting against his fate, fate of humanity is always a losing fight, he forgot his purpose, he became afraid of death like me, he reached a phase where he only wanted the cycle to continue to live not to allow humanity glory to continue, so if the great consistent reincarnate lost in the end, if we ended up like this after his efforts, what an idiot like you can do"
They continue to fight, torn charges again forward with his heavy shield, however the rope throw the sickles once again, they got stuck to torn legs, he falls off on his shield, the rope proceeds to pull his sickles, pulling torn over the battlefield rough ground, it's as if his glassy body start to get rough from the damage it happens to him, he tries to get grip on the sickles, manages to open on of the them, then he hold the second and pull it, pulling the rope forward, as he gets pulled, torn charges the hammer, and smashed rope abdomen, not totally destroyed but it got damaged alot.

Torn "I don't want to hurt you, I'm not wanting to hurt anybody, I just want to help the world to heal, to not give up on it"
The rope standing with his damaged glass belly " Then you are a fool, not even the ones who killed others were able to change the world, what a fool who thinks the world would kind enough to them to not hurt them is capable of?"
Torn "No I'm not, no one simply did try for once and thought about simply sticking to this world, to give another chance, one time it gets sick and we leave, make another, leaving it behind us, Not Even consistent reincarnate your beloved ever try, he was too emotionally driven, first time he saw dead people he gave up and turned up to next cycles, until he reached a point where a cycle mean nothing in the end, it became just a continuation of the suffering"
The rope while wiping destroy glass bits from his belly " Well I'm emotionally driven as well, I hate this world because I can't let go of the past, I can't forget, I don't want to be part of this world , I mean are you blind or something, don't you see it, neo humans are dying, everything is killing us, we ourselves are killing each other, do you really believe a dying world like this is worth saving? Worth Putting trust into? "
The rope raises his sickles, he gets ready for an another throw, while torn raises his shield, to protect himself from the hit, however in twist of fate, when the rope throw his sickles, it got stuck on the arm that is holding the shield, the rope starts pulling agreesivly as if he caught a fish, pulling torn forward, destroying torn arm in the process, and now torn have no shield or hand, just him and his hammer.
Torn is now in hard position, losing his arm, getting caught in a war once again, when he tried to stop it by killing the adventurer he realized that it was the same thing that led them to this point, and now the rope talk.
Torn doesn't believe in accepting fate, he fights it, so he has no idea who is fault that neo humans are really dying, he is getting desperate.
The rope " And now what if we turned down the cycle and decided to continue in your dying world, how long you want us to wait, we are already living in the one if not the longest cycle ever, what if Waited and waited and In the end nothing happened, what if we got stuck in your fucking world because you simply believed in a dying mess of world, what would tell others, that you were brave? Different? What a fool you are"
This was the finale nail In the coffin for torn, he can no longer knows what to think, what to trust, his entire identity and ideology crumbled.
Something within torn fired up, something different, he started to have a different aura, as if he became a different person.
Torn " I'm tired of fighting" "I'm tired of everything" "I wish things were different, maybe in the end you are right, I'm a fool"
Torn charges toward the rope, the rope throws the sickles, but it as if torn is determined, all different, however it doesn't feel the same, it is as if a darker reality is taking a hold of him, something very fishy and different about him, he run between his sickles evading them every time, he is face the the rope.
Torn explodes, he start hitting the rope aggressively, he is hitting him like a maniac, he is losing his mind.
" Isn't what you want" " isn't this what you fuckin wanted" "you the world the adventurer the consistent reincarnate" "every damn one of you" he continues hitting like a maniac, until the rope is disturbed, he can no longer talk, torn look at his face and say " Don't worry, I will kill you and create another cycle for you, isn't this what you wanted?" He continues hitting until there is big hole on the rope glass body. Torn stands up, overwhelmed by what have happened, stand next to the rope dead body, the most unexpected thing happens, the mechanism appears, the device that always allowed humanity to reshape life, to restart again is now In torn's hand.

It was only logical that torn is one who will reshape the world, after all every one from consistent reincarnate to black rope and adventurer did it before him, this time it was his turn.
The device start to unfolds in front of him. Allowing him to reshape everything by his vision, torn is overwhelmed by everything that's happened so far, he takes a step back a bit, and he reaches a conclusion.
"No" torn said world " I don't want to reshape the world" , " in the end I will be always a fool" he uses his hammer and destroys the mechanism, the mechanism after it was destroyed, it released a group of continuous waves, that pushed everyone far away, the waves encircled the entire earth, it was as if the world is changing but at same time nothing changed, torn loses his consciousness, and when wakes up, he sees the entire battlefield covered with glass shards, from the dead neo humans, and he is next to the rope dead body with a large hole in it, whatever he did, whatever did he want to achieve, he can't win In the end, it always started in war for him , and now he once again suffering the results of his never ending curse, not knowing if he cursed the world forever or not he sits in his place not doing anything. In the end he didn't sell the world, but the world sold him.
Until he appears, descending from the night sky, like a meteor, the nightmare appeared, searching for something, he sees torn, and he suddenly know it all.
Nightmare " I know that feeling kid, you fight and fight again and again, but the world we live in, is world that is cursed, a world that simply doesn't allow us to win, trust me I've suffered alot, seen alot of things "
Torn then look at the black death with his dead eyes, he say " kill me " " free me from my pain "
The nightmare then snaps torn head from his body, leaving them detached, killing torn, then he takes what he came for, the rope dead body.
After ages passes , we see a man , with a cyborg body, the mechanic end up find torn head, he takes it with him.
At the end of the chapter, we see a flower appears in the place of destroyed mechanism.
