“They say peace was never an option, so the answer is destroy what they know as peace in order to contain our violence and obtain our own peace”- General Deistrov’e 

   I didn't even get to step away before there was an instant earthquake shaking what felt like every atom in my body. My body dead weight collapses to the ground almost as if I lost all motor control. I can barely stand without my legs giving out so I toddler crawl my way to my room pushing past the empty cups and dirty plates covered in dried food fighting to get to my closet. I use my bed stand to pull myself up and avoid my chandelier that was swaying back and forth daring me to put my head in its way and end it all. I push the thought out of my head and accidentally ripped the door off my closet, the splinters of wood and glass vibrated as it flew through the air. It hit the chandelier and a giant crash pierced through the noise outside.

My anxiety and adrenaline was beyond surging through me like a trillion volts as I heard intense screaming and yelling from all around my house.  Pleads for help, yells of agony and pain, pure terrors in these peoples voices. What could possibly be going on? The screams got quieter, then ceased completely. The shaking suddenly stops to. What is going on?

  I throw on some pajama pants, a tank top, some tennis shoes, and my Locirter gloves to keep my power surges under control. 
“Here we go” I whisper to myself. I pull my window open and climb through with ease. I plop down into my front yard and my shoes hit wet mushy grass. I look down and see I stepped into an older mans face. His bone and brain matter were smashed around my shoe like mud. Terror and pain in his remaining grey eye. I jump back and launch myself onto the roof of my 3 story house. The scene was instantly horrifying. It was ashes, it was blood, so much dark red rich blood dripping off everything. So many ashes flying through the air. The trees, the houses, the streets, the sky, the air, everything was filled with death. I look down and see over 400 bodies were set into a sentence. It read, ( We are nothing but blood and bones until cooked or decayed, find us or find death either way your lost forever.) They did this in 30 seconds! In the time I put on my pants every person asking for my help was brutally murdered. How is that possible? How! For the first time in ten years im truly terrified. The way the bodies were bent and mutilated brought back memories of the third world war. I took a deep breath and smelled straight blood and ashes and wondered what in the hell im supposed to do. 

 I tune my ears up times one hundred and listen across the next 100 miles around me, not a single thing down to deer and birds up to humans and dogs were alive. Not a single heartbeat but mine in this already cold lonely world. I don't know if it was the years in the war or just second instinct pushing  away my emotions but I felt numb again. This is already worse than the war. At least then I knew who the enemy was. How am I supposed to kill something seemingly as powerful as me? I'M supposed to be the most powerful. Let me finally put all this power to use for once.

 I close my eyes and let something I keep in my chest flow through my body, every vein on my body lit up bright blue as an energy started surrounding me, my skin started turning gold, my eyes jet black. I could feel my emotion breaking through and taking over, the power was surging so hard I couldn't dream of controlling it. All the bodies flew through my mind, my brother, my mom,my dad, my uncle, my friends, MY SISTER!  WHY ARE THEY DEAD! My limit we well past and it felt good. Way to good. My gloves melted off.

 Outside of Johmain Walkson’s mind his power was rising well beyond his previous limit. To see him would be the same as seeing a Saiyan God from a tv show from milenas ago. His blue energy lashed at things around him turning them into charred nothings. His house and many others collapsed under the immense pressure as a funnel of energy starts digging at the earth creating a creator. His yelling could be heard planets away. Which is surprising since just a couple planets away was a dark force hoping to trigger this type of power which he didn't believe existed on Earth. 

   As Johmain’s power wave surged through the Earth's Reaper he became slightly confused. 
  “ All life was destroyed on that puny excuse for a planet, there’s no way I missed a power level that high!” His gruff alien voice said in Lertrecian. His name was the Shadow Reaper. For the first time in fourteen thousand years he felt a slight flicker of excitement for this felt like it could be a real battle. The Reaper clenched his fists. This being on Earth was still growing in power expontenaly and not a sign of stopping showed itself. At the speed of light the Reaper shot through the empty space towards the now blood covered planet.Weaving space debri was second nature. It was as if the Earth had become a blue star as it shined 2 planet away. 
 “Here we go.” Said the Reaper with a smile. Withen 15 seconds he was in front of the glowing blue ball. 
The reaper snickered to himself. “ Here I am giving a message to come find me and I myself am returning, ironic.” He said out loud. 
 The Reaper zoomed down to the surface, he couldn't see anything but blue and gold. He followed the energy flow and seemingly just appeared in front of Johmain. 
 When the surging blue and gold man opened his eyes there were black. Pure darkness and anger resided in them.There wasn't even a flash or  flicker Jahmain was just behind the Reaper. It was already time to fight. Jahmain moving caused the earth to crack almost all the way to the mantel causing the earth to almost split in half in less than a millisecond. All of that side of the Earth was destroyed from Jahmain’s speed . The Reaper turned around even faster and smiled. The reaper ficked his finger and half the Earth was deatomnised. Yet there floated was Johmain unfazed in anyway. 
  “You did this! You killed everyone! Im… Going… To…. Kill… YOU!!!!!!!!” screamed Jahmain.
 Jahmain’s power was quickly still rising . “You are worthy child!” yelled the Reaper as he let his own power start to flow through him. Purple sparks started flying out of the Reapers body very unlike Jahmain’s.  “Let us begin!” screamed Reaper as his body was being surrounded by his own black and purple energy. “Feel the true wrath of the Reaper!”
