The Ability World (complete)

Chapter 21: Betrayed

     The Sun Guild accompanied Johan's group to Stronghold A. Somewhere along he way, Frank had slipped away. No one noticed, however.
When they got there, the Sun Guild leaders unmasked Stronghold A. It was disguised as a skyscraper, but by using illusionary reversion skills, they were able to identify a very futuristic looking building. The Sun Guild broke the anti-Ability barrier, and then the plan commenced.
     At the onset of the operation, there were less guards than expected. They also managed to breach the wall very quickly, and the Globalous Army showed up late. Not to mention, the Army was smaller than Frank had told him it would be.
     Johan, Lily, Erica, and Aaron snuck into Stronghold A. They were met with a few guards. Johan used Tornado and blew them away.
     "It's suspiciously quiet here," Johan remarked.
     "Now that you mention it, something doesn't feel quite right. It's like... it's as if Globalous is expecting us and feinting or something. And. Frank isn't with us," Aaron said.
     "Well, let's continue the operation, shall we?" Lily said.
     They ran to the elevator hall. Suddenly, Johan's portable radio went off. It was one of the Sun Guild leaders. "We have deployed the weapons and aircraft like you said to, Johan, but it didn't seem necessary. Are you sure that we really needed to do all this? It seems a bit overkill-"
     The leader was cut off by static. Johan panicked. "Hello? Hello?!"
     There was a delayed response. "Johan, they went around and snuck up on us from the back! They knew! We have a traitor!"
     Johan gave him orders. "Tell your foot soldiers to keep going. The rangers should try to secure defensive positions. As for the aircraft and air fighters, tell them to disperse. Think of a battle plan yourself after that."
     "Yes sir."
     They continued to prosecute the plan. Johan and company exited the elevator and entered a building that looked like it had been constructed by aliens. They made a beeline for the security camera room, but were stopped by none other than Frank.
     "Frank?! What are you doing here? You were supposed to follow the plan!" Johan angrily exclaimed.
     "I did follow the plan. My father's plan, that is," Frank said, smirking.
     Behind Frank, there was some of the Army, all the Globalous leaders, and the Globalous Elite Force.
     Because of this betrayal and trickery, Johan's mentality had gotten way worse. He had thought of Frank as a slightly flawed little brother. But now, Frank was one of Johan's worst enemies. And just like that, Johan lost control.
     Johan activated Shadow Excursion. He went into the Fabrication, brining everyone with him. Johan used Shadow Explosion at full power, but in only one direction. It became Explosive Shadow Beam. He fired the beams at Frank's group. One of the leaders used a skill that caused the beams to go backwards. Johan flew into the beams and absorbed them, which made Shadow Excursion grow.
     He used Explosive Shadow Beam again. This time, he created Warp Gates at random places so that the beams would go to random places while being unpredictable. Erica held off the Elite Forces with Lily's help. Aaron battled Frank head on.
     The beams made their mark. He knocked out one of the leaders, while damaging the other four. Then, Johan took out the antidote. He injected a leader with it, and then he used Shadow Implosion. The leader died. Johan had committed murder.
     While the other leaders were knocked out from Shadow Implosion, which Johan managed to only use at half power, Johan used Paranoia Wave. Frank deflected it, but the Elite Forces had directly received the blow, which caused them to all momentarily lose focus. This gave Erica and Lily the upper hand, while before they were struggling.
     Johan injected three of the other leaders with the antidote. However, the last leader managed to avoid being injected-and then he injected Johan with the new chemical.
     Johan turned on his teammates. He used Lightning Arrow Raid on them. At this point, the Sun Guild had arrived. Frank smiled. "Johan, how does it feel to be mind controlled? Join me!"
     Johan gave no response. Johan knocked out half of the Sun Guild before Aaron managed to restrain him. Johan used Shadow Explosion indiscriminately-and that caused the Fabrication to collapse. They were forced out of the Fabrication.
     Shadow Explosion leaked into the real world. The entire Korean peninsula had been annihilated, countries up to Mongolia (towards the north) and Singapore (towards the south) had received quite a bit of damage, and all of Asia, Europe, the Pacific, and some of Africa had felt the shockwave. Frank had 100 HP left. Johan injected himself the antidote to make sure that he wouldn't wake up mind controlled, and then he collapsed.
     He woke up in an electric chair. He saw all of the Sun Guild, Lily, Aaron, and Erica in jail cells, all waiting to be executed. Apparently, the 'leaders' were actually animatronics. The actual leaders were doing nothing until Johan used Shadow Explosion at full power. They then came to the scene and captured all of them. At least, that's what the executioner said.
     Johan, with the last of his strength, with his will of not wanting to die yet, yelled. He was exhausted, tired, and injured all over. But, he yelled anyways. The executioner cringed, and took a step backwards. Johan kicked the chair. His leg became bruised, but the momentum of his leg kicking the electric chair caused the second vial in his pocket to come out. The first one held the antidote. But the second vial held the old Ability chemical that he had taken from the guild (not the Sun Guild; the other one). He bent over and used his teeth to pick it up. The executioner realized what Johan was going to do. So, he pulled the lever to activate the electric chair. But, Johan, milliseconds before, ingested the chemical. He knew that he would vomit the chemical out soon, since he drank it instead of injecting it, but, with the few minutes he had, he activated his S-Dice.
     Warp Gate and Paranoia Wave were the skills that evolved. Warp Gate became Dimensional Gate. He used it.
     Suddenly, a rip appeared in the roof. A large, dark hole appeared from thin air. An entity named Mir0-R appeared, which granted all of the prisoners and Johan a new power.
     "I am Mir0-R, an entity that will bless you humans with a new power, Anima! You will now be able to summon a spirit to boost your abilities. Based on your magic affinity, the level of your power and the spirit you will summon will be decided. Of course, there is a consequence. That consequence is that the world will change in ways never seen before, and 1010102@3485&4&939292," the entity said.
     Johan summoned his spirit, Lucifer, the Demon King. He told Johan that the string of numbers and symbols meant that spirits would gain access to the human world, and vice versa. Johan took note of this, but told no one.
     Mir0-R continued his evil speech. "Within one week, the entire human population will have Anima, and the human population shall decrease! Mwahahahaha..."
     Johan pushed Mir0-R back into his dimension and sealed the rift. Then, he used Paranoia Wave's evolution-Chemical Wave, which would allow him to transfer chemicals to others.
     He used the skill. He willed the spirit of Lucifer and all his MP into it. Then, he released the antidote in one big blow.
     That was the end of The Ability.
