The Raynian Destruction
6 years
after “the Prophet” stormed the Raynian castle, the Prince had not only grown
in age, but also in power. A short time after “the Prophet” told them of his
prophecy; Warriors from across the universe began challenging Laraniss. As
usual the Prince never fell, very few even forced him to transform into his
Elite form. He truthfully didn’t like it, he wanted a challenge, and he was a
true Raynian Elite. He was the youngest to ever ascend to this level; some even
said that he should take his father’s throne and become king early. He enjoyed
the attention, but he could never do that to his father, and understood that he
was too young. Plus he wouldn’t go into battle as often.
The
Prince stood on a ledge atop a mountain that looked over the main city. This
was his favorite place to be after training; it calmed him, and helped him
meditate. He loved his home and his people, and they loved him. He turned
around and allowed himself to fall from the ledge, as he fell the wind blow
through his hair, and he smiled, and then began to fly. He made his way home,
flying over the city admiring everything on his way. He walked through the
halls of the palace heading towards his room; he met with his personal guard,
Quimm, as he usually did before bed.
“Prince
Laraniss, please stop leaving on your own like that, you know that your parents
worry.” Said Quimm as Laraniss approached him.
“You
know that I don’t need a guard Quimm, I’m far stronger than you, and I have
never lost a battle.” Answered the Prince with a smirk.
“Yes my
Prince, but you’re not the one who has to deal with your mother. Don’t forget
that she is stronger than me too, and scares the shit out of me!” Replied Quimm,
with a look of seriousness on his face.
“Ha-ha!
We have that in common Quimm. I’ll keep that in mind, good night.” Said
Laraniss, as he closed the door to his bedroom behind him. He fell on to the
bed, and lay there thinking about various things as he usually did, he
wondered, “Nothing could be better than this.” He then fell fast asleep.
Hours
later, his door was crashed open, and he was abruptly woken to see Quimm wielding
his giant axe and he was swinging it at him. Laraniss quickly jumped up and
barely avoided the sharp axe as it split his bed in two.
“Quimm!
What the hell are you doing!?” Laraniss yelled, but Quimm didn’t respond, he
was breathing heavy, and looked battle worn. “Fine! I’ll let you come with me
whenever I go somewhere! Happy Now!?” Laraniss said jokingly. Again Quimm
didn’t respond, instead he lifted his axe over his head and swung down at
Laraniss again. Laraniss grabbed the great axe by its shaft and stopped it with
a loud “TING!” he rose his energy and Quimm struggled to hold onto his axe as
the Prince’s red aura surrounded him. “Don’t make me kill you Quimm. What are
you doing!?” Laraniss yelled one more time, but it was no use. He rose his hand
to Quimm’s chest and released a blast that pierced through Quimm and sent him
flying across the room into the far wall. The force from the blast caused
Quimm’s arms to rip off because he refused to let go of the axe. Laraniss
dropped the axe, and walked over to Quimm’s body and removed his helmet. Quimm
looked as if he were dead long before Laraniss blasted him, he looked undead.
Laraniss turned to leave, and Quimm rose up again, walked over to his arms,
lifted them up and placed them back onto his body. Laraniss was stunned.
“I guess
you really are some sort of a zombie.” Said Laraniss, as he watched his friend
and protector attempt to kill him once again. He placed both hands together and
released a blast that completely engulfed Quimm, leaving no trace. ‘’There, now
put yourself back together.” He now made his way to the throne room to raise the
alarm and warn his parents. As he walked through the door way, he was surprised
to find his parents already there, sitting in their thrones.
“Mother,
Father, something is happening, Quimm attacked me in my room and…” he couldn’t
finish his sentence; he looked upon his parents to find them, exactly as Quimm
was…Undead. They stood up and charged at him. He couldn’t move…with Quimm it
was survival, he had no choice…but these are his parents. His father picked him
up and flung him into the air, as his mother kicked him sending him flying
across the room and into a wall. He lay there, unharmed on the outside, but on
the inside he was broken…something like this had never happened, nor had he
ever imagined it. How could he fight his parents, he wondered. They, on the
other hand, continued their attack and charged at him. The both of them reached
back planning to punch him at the same time, but with a loud “CLAP” he caught
both of their fists’. “I won’t let this happen to you too.” He looked at the
both of them and his eyes began to change from black to a piercing dark red,
and his hair began to grow from short brown to mid length and began changing to
black, he was transforming into his Elite form. It was rare for him to do this,
but he knew that he had to finish this quickly, not only that but his parent’s
are two of the most powerful warriors in the universe. His red aura surrounded
him as he raised his energy to finish the transformation. His energy reaching
its peak caused such a change in the air that his parents were blown away
across the room.
“Well, I
see why they say you’re the most powerful being in the universe kiddo.” Said an
unknown voice. Laraniss searched the room, trying to determine whose voice it
was speaking to him.
“Who are
you? What have you done to my parents’?” said a startled Laraniss. He searched
but saw no one.
“My name
is Ryoone. Your parents’, the King and Queen, are my slaves now; they only wish
to do as I ask.” Said a young man who came into view from the shadows.
“Let
them go. You’re here for me, right? You can have me, so long as they live.”
Said a panicked Laraniss.
“Ha…ha-ha!
Oh boy, really? I’m not here to take you…I’m here to kill you. I just thought
it would’ve been more fun to let your parents’ do it, but I can see that you’re
much more powerful than they are.” Ryoone then snapped his fingers, and Laraniss
watched as his parent’s melted away, into nothing. “Oops…where’d they go?”
“You
bastard…does this have something to do with the prophecy?” asked Laraniss as
tears began to swell in his eyes.
“It has
everything to do with the prophecy, but not for me though…you see, my father
really likes this planet, and thinks it would be nice to add it to his
collection…but the people have got to go. I mean what good is a race of
fighting idiots? He wanted me to come here and see if the legendary white
warrior really did have a white light surrounding him. I guess that part wasn’t
true.” Ryoone answered in a condescending voice.
“No…no I
don’t glow white…but I do glow red!” He rose his energy to its max, and his red
aura filled the room and charged at Ryoone. His energy flowing behind him as he
made his way across the room, but before he could make it across the room a
wall of fire sprang up from the floor creating a barrier between him and
Ryoone.
“You
can’t beat me that way Prince.” Said Ryoone with a smirk. The wall proceeded to
surround Laraniss, trapping him. “You are powerful though, and the wardrobe
change was nice. But I’m a different breed of fighter…I’m actually half demon,
and I have control of all 4 elements, which is rare even for my kind. We’re
very much alike you know, you’re a genius of sorts, as well am I.” He made his
way towards Laraniss, who jumped into the air attempting to escape, but Ryoone raised
his hand, and the ground below Laraniss rose up and formed around his feet,
pulling him down hard into the floor. Laraniss had never fought someone with
powers such as these before; he was completely caught off guard and saw no way
of victory or escape. Ryoone parted the flames and stepped into the circle of
fire; he lunged over the Prince and looked down at him. “How old are you? 16?
Wow, I don’t really see what all the fuss was about, you’re not that special,
I’m sure that your people think that you’re great, but to a demon, like me, it’s
really not much.”
Laraniss
looked up at him and smiled. He saw an opportunity and used his hands to form
an energy beam to push him up, using his head to uppercut Ryoone in the chin,
who was stunned. Laraniss acted quickly and blew the stone cuffs off of his
feet, and grabbed the still stunned Ryoone and flung him into the ceiling, then
charged up an energy wave and fired it up at him. Ryoone regained himself in
time and avoided the blast, but as soon as he landed Laraniss was already
attacking, he had used the energy wave as a diversion, Ryoone acted quickly and
covered his body in stone, creating a full body armor made of stone. Laraniss’ punch made contact to no avail, he
couldn’t pierce the stone armor, he unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks, but
nothing worked, the last connecting punch, hit Ryoone’s armor square in the
chest, as his hand touch the stone, it leapt from Ryoone’s body, and swallowed
Laraniss whole. He struggled and squirmed, but the more he moved the tighter
the stone prison squeezed him, he was defeated, he slowly slips away from
consciousness.
“Well I
was surprised; you really put up a good fight kiddo.” Ryoone stood over
Laraniss and spread his hand open over him. He just stood there, with no
motion…he couldn’t do it…he just couldn’t bring himself to kill him. “What is
the matter? I’m a freaking demon! Why can’t I bring myself to kill this child?
Ugh! Just do it already Ryoone.” But it was no use, he couldn’t bring himself
to kill a kid like this, his human side wouldn’t allow it. “I have to do
something…my orders were explicit.” He said to himself. It was then that he
thought of another way.
“Where
am I? Am I dead?” Laraniss wondered as he woke to find himself surrounded by
nothing, he was in a white room, which seemed to never end. “Hello? Is anybody
there?” There wasn’t, he was alone. He looked for days but still found no one.
He began meditating, when he closed his eyes, he realized he could see…but not
where he was…he could see another world. But he couldn’t reach that world…he
was seeing through someone else’s eyes…”Sly” He kept hearing the people, he
could see when he closed his eyes, say that name. He finally realized that he
had been enslaved in the body of someone else. “What power could’ve done this
to me?” He wondered. It was then that he remembered what happened…he had fought
a half-demon named Ryoone…this must be one of his powers.
“Its
done father, you are now the most powerful being in the universe.” Ryoone said
as he kneeled before a shadowy figure.
“As if there
were any doubt.” Said the figure. Ryoone stood up and turned around, to watch
as an army of undead Raynians now stood before them.
“No one
could ever hope to challenge us now.”
