Hacking The Heart [Immortal Hearts #1] (#Wattys2016)

[29] - I Am Satan

In the burning red sky fought two figures, one shrouded in a white glow, and the other basked in deep purple flames. Faster than the naked eye, they flew, trading fists with the intent to kill. Inside of the purple flames was a young man with long, black hair. Inside of the white glow was a, likewise, blonde haired young man with vicious eyes. Eyes that have seen darkness, eyes that have killed, and eyes that had ruled.

Levitran was darkness; he was the shadow that the light created. God, as he was also known, was his name as the ruler of The Mother Dimension. After countless wars and the sights of the deaths of his loved ones, Levitran had lost himself to the darkness, and later became overrun by it. Thus, began his reign as a tyrannical, oppressive ruler.

He killed his people, raped his women, and let his kingdom fall into chaos. Levitran, the great being people had worshipped as their 'God' was nothing but a shell of his former self. Thousands and thousands of years had passed and the 'God' had continued to live; however, where he lived was not The Mother Dimension, but rather, The Fifteenth Dimension. It was a prison, a living hell that he had been forced into by a mysterious man, left to rot for all eternity.

Humans began to misunderstand the messages passed on from their ancestors, and thus, as a result, came the idealized view of 'God'. What humans thought was an almighty, all-powerful man was nothing more than a monster who had lost himself in the fray, the darkness that could only be known as 'humanity'. He was the depression, anxiety, and horror that all humans held deep inside of themselves.

He was the culmination of the darkness, the hopelessness created by humanity's selfishness and viciousness. He was the signification of every human's lost hope and broken dream. He was the physical result of everything humans had swallowed and kept to themselves, only to be built up into a gigantic ball of darkness. That was Levitran, the symbol of the broken creation known as humanity.

"You..." Levitran growled. "I'll turn you and every other human back into germs you evolved from!"

"...As if."

Landon vanished once again before his eyes. Levitran, however, was milliseconds too late as Landon reappeared behind him and drilled the bottom of his foot into Levitran's back. Heading to the ground the ground, Levitran hit it with the impact of a meteor. This sent shockwaves throughout DC, leveling everything in sight; every building, every car, every person, every living thing. Everything had been destroyed by a simple kick.

Not a soul outside of the four were left alive. In what was a matter of seconds, Washington DC had become a desolate wasteland. However, this battle, this two man war was far from being over as a bloodcurdling roar was sent through the vast skies along with purple flames that coated the sky in the same color. Far from over, the war was only beginning. Could Landon save the world from this man, or would he, himself, who had lost control, bring the planet to its own destruction?

"Get up!" Landon roared as though an angered, wrathful dragon had possessed him. "I'll show you just what a fucking 'ant' can do!"

Landon's feet touched by ground as his purple flames peirced through the smoke Landon, himself, had created. Landon no longer had any other thought besides killing Levitran, and if that meant destroying humanity itself to do so, he would have done just that. The deaths of innocent people were no longer important to him. His empathy was empty, and no human mattered to him on his path of destruction. He wanted to kill, and he was going to kill.

Everything. Everyone. Humans were never meant to be anything more than piles of flesh with the ability to think and intellectually grow. If humanity itself was to end, and if it were to be by his own hands, he would end it all. His life, and Levitran's, along with every human on The Mother Dimension. If humanity was his sacrifice to end the life of Levitran, then so be it. At any cost, Landon wasn't going to die at his hands. He was going to kill him, even if it meant the earth being reduced to ash.
