COLLATERAL (CANCELLED)

Chapter 10 : Fear

People were standing looking up in to the sky, in the streets, office windows, on rooftops and places all around the world. The skies were dark and a flaming omega symbol was burning bright on it.

"What's that?" a random person asked.

"I don't know.." another replied, "Do you think it's the apocalypse?"

Lightnings were striking everywhere and so was thunder booming all around as if a war was happening. When a single lightning bolt hit the Shibuya 109 symbol and it fell, people began panicking and there was chaos in Shibuya.

***

In the High Heaven, all of the Aegis' and Tegoshi were trying to find out what was happening. Eventhough the Library of Wisdom was filled with scrolls and knowledge of the universe, there was nothing in it that could explained what was happening.

"Ryoichi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Satoshi called his brother from his chamber on the Hills of Valor, "GET YOUR ASS HERE!!"

"What?! What?!" Ryoichi answered as he appeared with a book in his hand and other books floating behind him.

"What's going on?!?!" Satoshi inquired, "Don't act like you don't know!! You're WISDOM!! You're all knowing!"

"Hey! I might be Wisdom, but I'm not father.. I have my limitations! What ever that's in the books and my memories, those are the things that I know!!" Ryoichi replied.

"Why you~~" Satoshi conjured an energy ball of rocks in his hand and prepared to fire it at Ryoichi.

"What in father's name do you think you're doing?!" Akira yelled as she and Kazunari appeared.

"Don't interfere!!" Satoshi twitched his eyes and both Akira and Kazunari were blasted away by an unseen force.

"Lord Valor, STOP!!" Tegoshi announced as he appeared, "Rairyuu Yari!"

A spear in a shape of a lightning dragon formed and hit Satoshi. The Aegis of Valor was blasted away and hit the wall behind him. Tegoshi looked as his hand in disbelieve since he had cast one of Yuzaki's signature spell. According to Yuzaki when he clipped his wings, Tegoshi wasn't suppose to inherit any powers from Yuzaki but for some reason he managed to cast Rairyuu Yari.

"How dare you!!" Satoshi stood and fired an energy ball of rocks at Tegoshi.

Tegoshi covered his face with his hand, trying to protect himself. Suddenly a force-field manifested and the energy ball deflected back hitting Satoshi.

"What?" Satoshi asked in shock, "What was that?"

"That was your brother's power.." Kota said as he appeared suddenly, "Thank your father it did. I was afraid to even show myself with you lots bickering."

"What do you mean our brother's power?" Ryoichi asked as he stood up.

"When the previous Lord Justice clipped his wings, he specifically told you that his powers won't be available to you." Kota explained, "But his virtue is. The force-field that manifested was Justice itself. It was not a power that you conjured. It manifested because you were in danger and so was Justice."

"You make no sense...." Kazunari said.

"To make it easier, your brother was the strongest among you because Justice is the strongest virtue among all of you. You find Love in Justice, you find Hope in Justice, you find Valor in Justice, there's even Wisdom in Justice. When each of you are fighting for something, you will want Justice to prove your point. Get me?" Kouta tried explaining.

"Then what was the force-field?!" Satoshi wanted an answer.

"Justice was protecting itself!!" Kota answered in frustration, "You were about to kill Tegoshi!"
