Chronicles of the Cloptex

Chapter 4

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Daichi~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Seeing those damn creatures wandering freely makes me feel so sick and mad, the rage burning inside me, I need to think, I need to run away, far away from here, but I can't be a coward like before, I can't give up, at least not yet, I have to kill every single last one of them and make them pay, I have to go'

"Okay kids, as you can see this the mirror image of the Cloptex, this was recorded in the city of Takshishe in 2028, It killed over 3000 people and wounded 30 people"

'I don't fucking care how many people they killed, they have to pay, they have to suffer for what they did to me, the pain they caused me, I have to kill them'

.................Flashback..........................

"Daichi...RUN"

I ran as fast as I could trying to escape from the Cloptex as it was crushing my hometown and destroying everything I care about, I can see it crouching down on the ground trying to savor some human flesh.

"Daichi, help me...Daichi...Help, I'm dying"

I turned to see my girlfriend, Megumi laying on the floor bleeding, her beautiful green eyes getting dim, I can never forget the look she gave me, the way her eyes gradually became colder,the way her legs struggled to move, the way she looked at me begging to save her as her strength gradually left her, she looked so scared, so lifeless as she was struggling to live, the cloptex then picked her up and held her in his hand and dragged her body on the walls.

I stepped back and looked at her, tears were swelling up in her eyes, she looked at me and then smiled, her green eyes closing and reflecting nothing but darkness as she said her last words "I love you" then with her last breath she died, I wanted to scream and run up to her, to save her, to hold her in my hands again like before but I knew I had lost that privilege, I had lost my girlfriend and it was entirely my fault, I couldn't save her, they say love is the strongest power in the world, I don't still know if that's true, I don't know if I loved Megumi but she died because of me and I would never forgive myself for that, so I did the only thing I could do and that's to run.

................End of flashback................

I stepped closer to the professor and looked at her when I heard a faint voice

"I choose...Shiroe, he is more experienced".

I closed my eyes and cleared my mind, if she would not choose me then I'll have to go, I walked out of the training hall not looking back, I walked pass the corridor and entered into the dormitory.

"Daichi...hey, how're you doing?, what did the professor say to you, please tell me, I hope you guys aren't in trouble, by the way, where are you going to?"

Honestly I didn't have time to answer her questions, time was going, I had to leave the school before the gate were closed, I stared at her, my hazel eyes not bothering to leave her blue ones, I walked closer to her and cupped her face in to my hands

"Suki..."I said in a dangerously calm voice "learn to mind your own business, I have to go"

"But..."

"Cloptex" I muttered.

I ran away leaving her stunned, I saw the stares the other teammates where giving me but there were the least of my worries, I reached the entrance of the tower and jumped down from it, I accelerate my powers a little using it to lift me up the ground, I kept on leaping, using the rocks to push of the ground until I reached a small village, I hid behind a stall and waited for the Cloptex to arrive, I could already feel the difference in the earth vibration, something big was coming and when it comes I would be ready.
