Fraction Chapter 15 - The Crystal Goddess

"Are you having second thoughts, Michael?" the man in the white suit asked the man walking behind him. The man in black shook his head. "You look so... empty..." the man in white continued, "Is it because you no longer have that red scarf fluttering around your neck...? Or is it because I rudely dragged you away from your partial family reunion?" The man in black did not answer. He simply continued walking behind him without saying a word. The man in white stopped and turned around. "Am I a burden to you...? Michael? Am I what's making you so sad?" he asked. The man in black shook his head and said, "It's not your fault... whatever I am feeling now... it is all because of my own actions... you need not cry for me... come on now. You only get to spend five minutes in a place... do you really wanna waste that on me?" The man in white began losing his form. Michael placed his hand on his shoulder. "Are you gonna disappear on me too...? Idiot... pull yourself together... literally... you know I have nothing against you. If anything... you should hate me for what I've done to you..." The man in white regained his form and looked at him. "Okay... let's go... I can't stay in this place any longer..." Michael grinned and looked up. "Where to next?" he asked as he stared at the stars in the sky. "Let's go to hell..." the man in white said. "Are you sure...? You know she doesn't like you... you don't have to go there just because I want to..." Michael said. "No. I'll stay out of the room. Consider it my way of making up for what happened back then..."

Adam looked at his screen. "Are we there yet?" he asked for the thirtieth time... and for the thirtieth time, Diana replied with the patience of a machine, "Nope."

"Are we there yet?"

"Nope."

"Are we there yet?"

"Nope."

"Are we there yet?"

"Nope."

"Are we there yet?"

"Nope."

"Are we there yet?"

"Nope."

"Are we there yet?"

"Simulation build complete."

"Finally! Now... let's see what this whole thing with the black and white really means..."

"Configuration complete. Now starting projection..."

A holographic projection covered the entire planet. A hologram that covered the entire planet? How is that possible? Well... because he's Adam 40...

A giant tower that seemed to slice clouds as they passed through it... "Zoom into it". There sat a group of four people. A woman with her red hair tied neatly into a bun. A bald, old man with a long, white moustache and beard who looked like he could be knocked out by a slight breeze. A woman with long flowing black hair who had a smile that could make a nuclear warhead detonate and throw out an explosion of flowers. A young man whose muscles could shame a mountain. They looked calm and collected. A black moth flew into the room and landed on the old man's shoulder. He sighed. "I suppose this is goodbye then..." the woman with black hair said as she got up. The woman with red hair closed her eyes and leaned back on her chair. The old man nodded and said, "It has been a pleasure working with you youngsters... we've had a good run... we have challenged the Gods themselves... and proved that we mortals can reach their level if we want to... if we are going to die... I am proud to have my body fall to the ground at the same time as you..." The young man clenched his fists and hit his chair's armrest, which immediately broke. "We can still fight! We can still give them one last hit!" he shouted. The old man shook his head. "Calm down... Mind, Body, Heart and Soul... we have been beaten completely... just be proud that we were able to achieve whatever we achieved... let us calmly face our fate now." The young man got up and shouted, "Bullshit! You call this a plan?! I'm gonna go RIGHT NOW AND KI-" his mouth froze. Suddenly, everyone was lifted into the air and thrown around the room. "You're gonna go right now and do... what, exactly?" a confident voice came from the door. A man in black walked into the room. He had a pure red scarf fluttering around his neck and a cocky grin on his face. "I believe he was going to kill us, baby..." a woman's voice twinkled from behind him. The four tried to stand up as she walked into the room. "It's nice that the two of you showed up like this..." the muscular young man said with a defiant grin, "That way, I CAN CRUSH YOU BOTH WITH MY OWN HANDS!!!"
