UNDER GREAT STRESS the power was volatile. tapped twice before & almost a third, the results of recklessness nothing less than catastrophic. akira alone UNWILLINGLY brought an entire city to it’s knees. rising as a god to some & a menace to others.
taken from the bonds of the militia changed no strain of DNA within ; the UNIVERSE made his body it’s shell. it was conditioned, forced, & created to DESTROY. the destroyer hears someone desperately seeking to calm him, almost – it’s like he’s far away. the voice is RIGHT there, next to him, so close he can hear ringing – but a thousand miles away.
fingernails pull at the skin upon his cheeks, dragged his bottom lids so far his eyes were BLOWN WIDE . tears overflowed & poured, the beginning of his sorrowful WAIL ; akin to the death screech of a banshee. ear-splitting. so vigorous in it’s anguish it sent the child into a violent coughing fit. akira collapsed into yuki, those soft, tiny hands clutching at coat fabric. his SCREAM was reduced to nothing more than pathetic sobs interrupted by rough coughs.
blood didn’t look like much on his red cape. but akira felt it. the stains were heavy, anchors tied ‘round his ankles in the deep sea. there’s a bitter memory front & center of a beloved friend, suffering a similar fate as the corpse before them.
the universes glow beginning in his heart died down, sinking it to the pits of akira’s stomach. sad, sick & traumatized, he holds onto yuki for dear life.
