The Earthwind Dark Inverse: Polarity

- The End Is Nigh -

"At least," She coughed, bubbling blood between her lips, life's blood seeping slowly over the inner sanctums stone flooring, "you survived." The weakening smile slowly slid from Alashandra's blood-streaked face, and the final flicker of life fled her blue eyes. Captain Alashandra Krash was dead.

Clutching her limp form close to himself, Michael rocked back and forth with the body as a shadow cast over him from the end of the hall. He stopped his rocking when the owner of the shadow spoke, "You were warned. Now she's dead. I told you…" The voice of Harlayken stopped suddenly, his eyes wide as Michael was instantly eye to eye with him, "Drop dead." Michael said to him in a deep growl as he ripped his hand which he had thrust forward, back from within Harlayken's decimated chest, allowing his dead body to slump to the floor. Michael afforded Alashandra's body one last glance as his eyes glazed over in black, "You'll all be dead."



The ground around the temple began to shake violently, and then stopped as suddenly as it started. The Commanders radio suddenly switched on in a flurry of urgent and panicked radio transmissions. Garbled messages warning of someone or something from within the temple trying to get out. But before the identity of whatever it was could be relayed, the transmission would become nothing but static. The Commander looked down at his radio silently, before ordering his Lieutenant to prepare the shuttle.



Two soldiers tried to attack him simultaneously. The first one came at his left while the second one came at his right. Michael reached out with his left hand and grasped the soldiers head, and kicked out with his right foot towards the other, all in an instant. Without any effort, he crushed the skull in his hand like an egg and ploughed his foot through the chest of the other in the next moment, casting aside their shattered corpses like rag dolls. A dark aura now emanated from his body, causing his clothing to billow and flap about his body, his hair blowing wildly as his eyes grew even darker. He slowly began to rise from the floor, his feet dangling, no longer touching ground, he disappeared in a blink.



The Captain of the shuttle looked to the Commander in disbelief, "But what about the men?!"

"F*** the men!" The Commander screamed franticly and waved his gun about before training it back upon the captain, "Get me the h*ll out of here now!"

The Captain thought about fighting, but considered his odds, "Ensign?"

"Sir?"

"Do as the Commander says."

"Sir!"

The Shuttle started thrusters and began to lift off from the earth, slowly making its way through the jungle canopy. A gunshot rang across the shuttles bridge and the commander fell to the floor, blood running from what remained of his head. His Lieutenant dropped the clip from his own sidearm, leaving one remaining bullet in the chamber. "You shouldn't have abandoned everyone like that Sir. I resign." With that, he placed the barrel of the gun to his chin and used his last bullet. The crew looked in dazed confusion until the shuttle suddenly crashed against an invisible force, managing to recover quickly enough to stabilize. Outside, twenty meters higher than themselves, floated what looked like a man. Then there was heat. Unbelievable heat.



Michael watched the shuttle explode as he continued to rise, further and further up through the atmosphere.

He looked down upon the planet of Earth as he continued to rise when he spoke, his voice booming across the sky, reaching every corner of the planet. "I will now be your Jury, Humanity. And I find you Guilty!" Still he rose, "I will be your Judge, Humanity." Micahel held his arms out before him, holding his hands palms out, connected at the palms heel, he rapidly summoned energy into a ball before him. The ball was as dark as his eyes, crackling with white highlights as it continued to grow, "Which makes me necessary, Humanity… Your Executioner. I bring you extinction!"

The Dark Projectile let fly.

And the planet Earth died.
