1 Hour Earlier:
-The Schoolyard-
3 figures stood tall. 3 of some of the most deadly people on Earth. Among them was the Cold Hearted. She looked on in awe. "This place, the slums of New America. It looks awful! How did it get this bad!" When she was a kid, she lived in what is now the slums of New America, but when she was there, it was a nice place, filled with kids and happy families. "Just what happened since I left?"
The other person, a man referred to as The Iron Menace, walked over to her. "Don't forget, we're here to kill the boy. He's a transmigrator who must die at all cost."
The Iron Menace looked on in disgust. "Chaotic Demons must be eliminated from the world entirely." He mutters under his breath. "Do whatever it takes to kill him, even if it means killing hundreds of innocent children, you hear me?"
The Cold Blooded looks on. "Of course, you know I don't care about them. If I really wanted to, I would kill them all. This boy dies... today."
As they get ready, the Cold Hearted sends a wave of ice rushing towards the entire building, completely destroying it. As she enters the hallway, dozens of children are split in half, their carcassas lining the hallways. While the Cold Hearted didn't particularly care about human life, even she let out a disgusted face watching all of these kids die by her hands. Soon enough, she killed so many that she herself was disgusted, and felt that she would burn in hell for therest of eternity. To her, Hell was not a nice place. She remembered the first time she encountered demons! They were terrifying existences that held no regard for human life. They laughed as they brutally maimed and killed her wife right in front of her. It was a horrific experience. From then on, she, as a newly made Celestial Angel, vowed to destroy evil before it ever took place. In this world, she was the only one who could be evil, because if others were allowed to be heartless, then she would certainly face the pain of losing her wife all over again.
She killed hundreds, and for each one, shed a tear. Unfortunately, it was neccessary. Anyone who comes in contact with a Chaotic Demon or Celestial Angel has the power to gain powers and become one as well.
Although every seeming trigger for becoming a Chaotic Demon or Celestial Angel was unclear, that was one noticeable trigger. Usually, those people who developed powers claimed that they got the perfect power tailored towards them, after all, after she watched those demons burn her wife alive with the Holy Fire of Retribution, she wished for the ability to at least cool down her suffering.
The cruel irony was that she only developed the ability after her wife died. She spent the next couple of years hunting down demons, desperately looking for revenge. Now, she just had to stop more evil. So, for this purpose, she became a Chaotic Demon herself. A chaotic demon who hunts down Chaotic Demons!
She wanted to kill Jesse at all costs, before he became an unstoppable force of nature, like they always do.
-Meanwhile, at the school-
"Looks like I got what I wanted." I say to myself, kinda happy that this went down this way. But inside was a deeper feeling. A feeling of fear & disgust! I didn't know what I was doing, and who killed all these people. Until, some person, a woman, walked from behind the corner. She was pure white, almost like an albino. Even her eyes were white. "What th-" but before I could get a word in, she shot an ice crystal directly at my face.
"I'm sorry, kid. You must die!" She screamed, but before I could somehow stop her, ice formed underneath my feet.
In fear and desperation, I rushed to fix my legs. But the attack was coming! I had no time! If I didn't escape the ice, I would die, so...
In a last ditch effort, I grabbed a broken mirror shard, and...
Cut my skin off!!!
I cut the skin of my feet clean off in 1 swing, managing to barely escape. I looked back, to her expression in shock and awe. She never expected me to harm myself to that extent, just to escape!
As I ran out, my feet hurting me.
Screaming in pain, I could barely walk anymore
I couldn't die!
I couldn't die!
I couldn't die!!!
As I slowly ran away, she nearly caught up to me, and in my desperation, I tripped and fell.
"Who are you? What do you want?" I asked, in desperation!
She looks at me, with a sad, almost pitying expression. "You are a Chaotic Demon. A transmigrator from another world! You've already caused untold destruction & death across the world, and now, you'll pay."
Untold destruction & death? I only killed a couple people! I mean, sure, its bad either way, but I don't recall having powers!
"Shouldn't having powers be the requirement for being a Chaotic Demon?" I asked, desperately trying to find a way out of this situation.
"Don't... lie to me! We saw you kill people using your powers."
Powers? If I had powers, I surely would've used them to defend myself by now.
"Well, it sucks for you that you're so bad at your job that you can't catch a single, powerless, kid!" I snort, before throwing a shard of ice at her face. She blocks it easily, but I take advantage of the moment to punch her in the face!
But in my shock, my entire fist screams out in pain!!! "Shit! She blocked her face with ice!!"
As she went to strike the finishing blow in her head, a voice rang out. She looked across. The voice, creating a huge rumbling sound, shaking the ground.
It's the same thing I heard before!
Slowly, I started to hear a voice in my head, speaking to me!
'You must live, for you are my vessel.'
What? What is this sound?
As the ice completely encased me, nearly killing me, I... disappeared. I disappeared completely from this world!
As I looked around, I saw nothing but stars and streaks of blue, green and purple.
"Where... am I?" I shouted in awe.
To my surprise, a voice answered me. "You are nowhere, and everywhere at once. I shall return you to the world which you belong."
Suddenly, I woke up.
"What the-"
To my shock, I was flying!! I was flying a million miles into the air. "I... im in the sky!!" I screamed with hesitation!
I tried to contact the voice again, but was met with nothing but silence. Quickly, even the general sound of the voice disappeared from my mind. I could no longer tell if it belonged to a man or a woman, even though I could clearly tell before.
And as I came to, I realized, I wasn't flying! I was falling! If I fell to the ground, I would die! Be killed, in an instant. As I quickly landed to the ground, only 1 thought crossed my mind!
Freedom!
A free person could fall and die without consequence! Without fear or exception!
"I will become... the most free existence in the world!!!"
Suddenly, a magical force, almost as if God was giving me a literal miracle to grab onto, pushed me to another area!
As I came to, I appeared to be back in the school! "What!? How did that happen!"
As I slowly tried to calculate what was going on, a man, real dangerous looking, walked behind a hallway! We were both in the gym, but how? How did I appear here?
"You, kid! You must die, for the greater good!"
Suddenly, a girl, most likely a student, started to run through the gym. As she pleaded and begged for help, the man encased his entire arm in a metallic red coloring. And without hesitation, the man punched through the little girl's body, and his hand, which was red before was now even redder, stained with the color of blood!
Suddenly, a wall of red metal shot out from his entire body, the metal encasing me. "Damn it! What did you... do!" I shouted in anger.
He slowly walked up to me, beating me. How can I escape? How can I win?
As he beat the hell outta me, my entire face was covered in blood and bruise!
"How dare you!"
He didn't answer, and just pulled open his fist, getting ready to kill, and as he did... I braced for impact!
And suddenly appeared behind him!
"Ah... I see."
I calmly spoke, as my entire body, covered in scars & blood, ached from the pain.
"I have the power of Freedom!" I shout, finally realizing the fact that I could do it...
I COULD TELEPORT!
After transmigrating into this world, I learned that everyone who transmigrated got powers.
But me? They were nowhere to be found, lost to the wind! I'd heard stories about how they all gained powers. But was I the exception? Was I truly the only one who was destined to live a boring life?
No! That's impossible! I'm the only person in this world who will live to achieve his dream! This unstoppable, insurmountable dream!
"Hey, big guy." I calmly spoke, ready to talk to the man who nearly killed me. "From this point forward, you won't bevable to touch me, so pray."
"Pray that you will live to see the sunset."
With my powers, I could totally escape. I could just teleport away & be done with it. But I don't want to.
Blinding alarms were blaring iside of my head, begging me to run. But I wouldn't. No running.
No more!
"Die."
As I teleported right up to him, I punched him directly in the stomach, pain being riddled throughout my entire body.
It wasn't just metal, it was a nearly indestructible substance, and at the next moment, it all shot out of his body, completely knocking me around like a ragdoll. The blood & bruises i'd taken becoming far worse! I realized, that if I lost this battle, I would die! Using every bit of power, I thought of a plan, and teleported inside of him.
It was a huge risk!
Either I would die, we'd both die, or he'll die. I've never tried to teleport inside someone before, but I knew that, if I didn't try, this asshole would just kill me anyway, so I might as well risk it!
As I teleported inside of him, I heard his massive cries of pain!
This mysterious power I used allowed my entire body, which was small, to completely eliminate any part of his body that I touched! Unfortunately, the metal regenerated, slowly suffocating me until...
"No!" I screamed as I teleported right outside of him. "I would take it any more! Die!"
The truth was, even though he seemed unstoppable, I had a plan.
-Meanwhile, at the other end of the school-
The Cold Hearted hadn't seen so much distruction. A boy, a student, ran across, desperately begging to be set free. He pleaded with the Cold Hearted, desperately wishing to live.
"I'm sorry, but to stop any more Chaotic Demons, we need to..."
She stopped. She couldn't do it. As the child begged and begged, she decided to let this one slide. He looked innocent, quiet, nice. She couldn't bring herself to kill him. "Go, kid. And don't tell anyone what happened here today. You didn't go to school today, you hear me. You got sick, and had to stay home."
After seeing this child run away, she broke down in a pile of sweat & tears.
She had no idea, because she didn't recognize their similarities, but one day, that child would grow up to be the Arsonist. One of the most evil Chaotic Demons in the whole world!
-Back to the fight between the Freedom Junkie & the Iron Menace
I had a plan! I knew exactly what to do!
"Stay there, you stupid bastard!" I scream into the air as I teleport to a new location. Ah! It seems I could only teleport small distances, but im sure in the future, I could teleport even farther distances. Regardless, this is as much as I can do. I pick up a giant iron dumbell.
"Holy shit! This thing is heavy!" I shout, unable to even pick it up. I wasn't very strong.
Smiling, I began to talk to myself. "I wonder... how high up would this thing need to be to kill a person? And how high up would it need to be to kill a Chaotic Demon?"
Smiling, I realized that, in order to drop this directly onto his head, I'd have to calculate it perfectly. No, I wouldn't. The guy clearly feels pain, it just so happened that my puny little nerd fists weren't nearly strong enough to hurt him.
How did I know?
Because when I teleported inside of him, I heard him scream out in pain. It was a small detail, but it taught me everything I needed to know! "Die, you fucking ugly pig!" I screamed, every fibre in my body in pain. The dopamine receptors firing off, I teleported into the sky, a sadistic, joyful look on my face.
I realized that the second I teleported into the sky, the dumbell would fall, I'd have no choice but to drop it. "When dropped far enough, anything gets a power near equal to an atomic bomb!"
As the giant weight dropped, I screamed in victory, shooting at speeds even faster than I could truly comprehend, the giant dumbells rushed in an abnormally fast way.
Picking up speed, the damn thing near shot out at exponential rates!!
Upon landing, directly on the Iron Menaces' head, it completely blugeoned him in an instant, killing him. He couldn't even think before his death.
"That's what you fucking get!" I screamed, the adrenaline firing off in my head!
Suddenly, I lost consciousness and nearly fell all the way down. If I hadn't woken up in time & teleported back to the ground, I wouldn't have been able to survive.
Barely struggling to keep consciousness, blood from my entire body was pooling across the floor.
As I continued to rack my brain on what to do next, she appeared. The Chaotic Demon, the Cold Hearted!
Fear surged throughout my now weak and defenseless body.
Enraged, she screamed at me in full volume. "You bastard! You killed him. He was my best friend!!"
Looking over, deeply uncomfortable being barely able to stand in this situation, simply turned, smiled, and said, with a casual expression. "Eh."
