Lightning

Darkness Personified

[Lightning]

     What the hell... I'm laying down inside the school, I have someone's arm in my mouth,  theres blood dripping off of it. I spit the arm out my mouth. Keyshia is next to me sitting, she breaks a pair of popsicles in half and hands me a red one.

"Happy Birthday" she said sadly but with a slight smile that told the story. It's almost like that day...

     Thunder looked right at me and said "No hard feelings brother."  As he grabbed me by the throat and lifted me up, and activated his execution eye on his left eye. "Release" he whispered as a dark aura from my body rose. Cat-like ears in a black aura formed on top of my head, and five tails in a black aura formed at the base of my tailbone. The rest of my body had a black aura which spiked up every time I screamed. Suddenly everything around me was pushed away in a destructive matter and I lost my consciousness. When I woke up, I was tied to a pole. "Happy Birthday"  three year old Keyshia said as she sat in front of me. She handed me a red popsicle. Blood dripped on the side of my face. I noticed the Exodia Clan was in ruins. I began to weep, was this my doing? Keyshia stood up and hugged me and told me it wasn't my fault. Years later I had learned the truth. Five X fighters who went rouge banded together to create a villainous fraction named the League of Evil Villains, Leov for short. They were lead by Nazo,  followed by Someone named Terrowizard, Klonson, Maru, and Thunder, they each had their own respective henchmen. They had activated a demon inside me to aid them. That's also the time when I also found out, I killed Keyshia's parents.

     I looked around. The ceiling was caved in the entire school was in ruins. Bodies were everywhere, some still in one piece, others ripped savagely into pieces. I closed my eyes and shook my head. What the hell happened. I remembered the beach battle earlier. I gasped "Where's the president"

"You killed him when you went on a rampage. He's at the front of the school if you wish to see proof." Meno walked by in her red hat. Her clothes were ripped but nothing exposing. She looks at me smiles then shakes her head slowly. "I'm not going to hate you for killing my old man. It wasn't you. I'm not going to hate that beast inside you either because it did me a favor, it set me free and spared my life... or I should thank you for allowing it to spare my life." You can see the tears in her eyes.

"You speak like you knew this was inevitable?" Keyshia said

"Lightning isn't the most common of names." Meno looks at me "Your name is infamous all over the world. Many people fear your name because of the feats that follows you. At three years old you had a hand in wiping out half your clan. At five you unlocked the Execution Eye on both of your eyes, you even single handily ended World at War III, at six you killed Klonson a major power head. At Eight you slaughtered ten thousand military men that was sent to kill you in a single night, at 12 you joined the League of Assassins and have a 100% assassination rate even a perfect 5 star rating. The youngest and only teen to have completed one S rank assassination. And your record stands at 68 S rank missions." She said

"69 now. Your father was a mission." I said

"Yeah whatever. Notes on that demon inside you and how it can be activated is also around. You got four ways. Intense fear, anger, a near death state, or brought out by an Executions Eye. There's been rare occasions, however where it appeared without a warning, like today" She said, she had a smile but a concern look on her.

"You did your homework." Keyshia said

"My father had him on file, I just happen to read it, I like keeping tabs on guys I like." She gave me another smile which then turned into a distant frown "Happy Birthday Lightning. " Meno said then she sighed "This is goodbye Lightning."  I watched as she walked away. I looked at Keyshia who looked sadden, We was born on the same day, but no one seems to know her birthday is today with all the information about me flying all over the place. They even know Keyshia is my road companion. I sighed.
