Blackwood
"It's ok, lil sis, this will all be over soon, I promise," the older brother says.
"Then we will go find Mommy?" the little girl whispers.
"Yes, of course we will go find her the second this is all over. Don't worry, your big brother will protect you!" The brother yells confidently.
"Yeah! Big brother, you're my superhero!" the girl exclaims excitedly.
"Damn, stra—"
Suddenly a blue portal appears behind the older brother, and out of it comes Solomon, the same man who went against Exploiter and Mary not too long ago.
"Damn that Exploiter and her plotting I swear if that girl wasn't there, I would have skinned that bitch until there was nothing left," Solomon exclaims.
Solomon manifests a strange-looking book into his hand and starts drawing in it.
"This dimensional portal stuff is harder to work out than it looks; the mechanics are way too complex, but it's easy peasy when you're a genius like me," Solomon remarks.
Solomon removes his pen from the paper, and a small black box appears on the ground.
"Ok, done here; on to the next."
As Solomon walks to his portal, he sees the older brother standing between him and his sister.
When Solomon sees this, he starts to laugh out loud.
"Oh shit, you dumbass kids sure picked a great spot to hide. Keep at it!" Solomon exclaims.
"I won't let you hurt my sister, you...you freak!" the older brother yells back.
"Hmmm, chow! Little shit!" Solomon whispers as he heads back into his portal.
Solomon uses his portal to go to multiple places in Grava City and place black boxes.
At the same time in the center of Grava City, the floating cameras begin to record Nixion and Cyrus.
In Grava Academy stadium, Mr.Brown rushes into the resting area where David and Aurora are.
"Doc, what is it that's so damn important you had to halt healing the students?" Mr.Brown screams.
"Calm down, will ya? I'll heal those brats in a minute. Look at the TV screen!" David says as he points at the screen.
"Wait a minute, that's the Grava Tower area, and isn't that Nixion?" Mr.Brown asks in a curious tone.
"Yeah, it is, and it looks like Grava Tower is Grava done. Actually, the whole area looks fucked. I'm just trying to figure out who this other guy with weird eyes is," David mentions.
"That's Cyrus Blackwood. He's very well known. I'm surprised you don't know Doc," Aurora says with a surprised expression.
"Oh, shut up, you snarky brat. I did know; it's just I don't believe in impossibility," David whispers with an aggravated tone.
"Wait, you're not serious, right? It can't be Cyrus Blackwood; he was pronounced dead almost three decades ago. They even found his body and matched his DNA." Mr.Brown says calmly while thinking.
"Yes, that's correct. Cyrus Blackwood is famed. He was not only part of the class nicknamed the "fallen stars," trained by Nixion himself, but he was also a huge reason why we know so much about OGI today. He was even the scientist who discovered the existence of level three, which changed the goal of Grava Academy to what it is now," Aurora explains.
"Ok, that's cool; that doesn't explain why the son of a bitch is alive!" David yells.
"Oh well, that part I have no idea," Aurora says with a thinking expression.
"Hmph, not so snarky anymore, brat," David whispers.
"Is this just broadcasting to Grava City?" Mr.Brown asks.
"No, this is to the whole world," Aurora answers.
On the broadcast, Cyrus begins to speak.
"Well, we're about to see what happens," David says as he lights his cigarette.
In the middle of the city, with Nixion forced to stay still, Cyrus begins to speak.
"May I have everyone's attention!" Cyrus demands with a commanding tone.
Cyrus looks below him and sees the Grava Academy boys and L.T.O. still fighting.
"Tch! I believe I said, everyone!" Cyrus says with an angered tone with a serious look in his eyes.
Suddenly Cyrus emits a giant surge of OGI from his OGI tank. Everyone's attention is instantly caught by this intense power, Grava Academy and L.T.O. members alike.
"This intense OGI…I've never felt such intimidating power in my entire life," Mr.Mink thinks to himself.
Mr.Mink looks around the battlefield and sees Kage, Unknown, Jason, Seth, and Alexander all on the ground as their skins go pale.
"Oh crap, they can't handle this type of intensity! Everyone! It's just intense OGI; you can breathe fine! Just breathe!" Mr.Mink exclaims.
Not a single student stands up.
"Damn it, it's no use!" Mr.Mink thinks as he vanishes.
"This OGI is almost similar to the Malice technique, but it's not!" Mr.Mink mutters as he kicks Seth and Jason in the stomach, which causes them to breathe normally again.
Mr.Mink vanishes once again.
"This intense OGI is meant to influence the OGI tank of others by making OGI users' tanks feel like it's in grave danger," Mr.Mink mutters as he kicks Alexander in the stomach, fixing his breathing as well.
Mr.Mink, while still muttering, vanishes once again.
"The intensity of the OGI is so intense it almost acts as an illusion, forcing the body to go on the defensive, but it also forces the brain to abandon a lot of its responsibilities, like telling you to breathe, all so it can fight back against a nonexistent opponent!" Mr.Mink mutters as he kicks Unknown in the stomach.
"Ahh! What in the world happened? Why did I stop breathing all of a sudden?" Unknown asks himself.
"This use of OGI is something almost no one even hears of; only people with strong OGI control can fight back against it! Where is Kage, damn it!" Mr.Mink screams while looking around frantically.
At the location of Kage, he is currently on one knee feeling the effects of Cyrus's OGI surge.
Kage struggles to look up to the sky, and he sees Cyrus floating above.
"That guy! I've seen him before; he's the same hooded dude who bumped into me in the Snachro zone. Yeah, it was right before I saved Tota from those gang members," Kage thinks to himself.
Kage remembers the words Cyrus said to him in Frinstion City.
"Let's see what you'll do in this situation, son of Elio Frost."
After remembering this instance, Kage grits his teeth.
"Who is this asshole, and what does he know about that bastard?"
Kage falls to the ground and slowly loses consciousness until Mr.Mink appears and kicks him in the stomach.
"Ah! Fuck! What the hell is wrong with you, Mr.Mink!" Kage shouts.
"Hey, you should be thanking me; you almost died in the most weakly way yet, and I know you wouldn't have liked that," Mr.Mink remarks.
Mr.Mink looks up to Cyrus and Nixion.
"Nixion, how the hell has one of your old students come back to life? Things are starting to get out of hand!"
Cyrus stops emitting his OGI and looks back to the cameras.
"Now that I have everyone's attention, I will introduce myself."
Cyrus takes a bow with a cunning smirk.
"Hello, world. My name is Cyrus Blackwood. I'm sure most of you know me as one of the fallen stars taught by the most powerful OGI user, Nixion. You probably have also heard that I was dead; well, I would like to tell you I am very much alive and well."
Cyrus stands back upright.
"Now enough about me; I want to talk to you. People of the Grava, Moro, Snachro, and Mud Zones."
"What is he playing at?" Nixion thinks to himself.
"This world as we know it is coming to an end soon, and it will be by my hand," Cyrus says with a cynical tone as he stretches his arms out.
Cyrus's words instantly shocked everyone watching.
"What the hell is this motherfucking on about? He's going to destroy the world?" Kage asks with an annoyed tone.
"Quite Kage!" Mr.Mink exclaims.
"Come on, don't tell me you fools are surprised," Cyrus remarks.
Cyrus looks around him and begins to bask in the sunlight.
"Centuries upon centuries ago, the old world that was once floating in orbit was obliterated by a catastrophic event, and what was left after such an event? This new world we are so familiar with is what was left."
"I don't get it. What is the point of telling us something we already know?" Unknown asks.
"Don't you people get it! We were allowed to evolve! OGI and all the things we have access to now never existed before this world! We are what the people of the Old World imagined when they thought of the future!" Cyrus shouts at the top of his lungs.
Cyrus grabs his face and begins to ponder.
"Then tell me, world, why are we once again accepting mediocrity? We have once again let ourselves fall into the norm! Aren't y'all sick of living the same day over and over again?" Cyrus asks in a disappointed tone.
"So that's what he's playing at," Nixion thinks to himself as he grits his teeth.
"Every day every man and woman makes a decision. The decision to be the best you can be or live as society forces you to live! Level three is right there! It's obtainable! It has been proven, but look at the world. All we do is sit, sit, and sit some damn more waiting for a trivial sign. What other sign does a person need? All anyone should need is a want," Cyrus yells as his voice gets deeper.
Cyrus throws his hands up once again.
"All of you people live by restrictions; that's why nothing has changed! Laws, morals, and fear of consequences all hold down the brain's psyche when in reality we should listen to no one! No god of some made-up origin; it should be us! We make our own freedom, and level three is the key to that freedom!"
As Cyrus shares his ideals with the whole world, his ideas get analyzed by Aurora in the Grava Academy stadium.
"What the hell is this dude talking about? These laws we abide by are what keep the world together. Without them, the world would be turned into a damn soup of uncertainty," David exclaims.
"Yes, you're exactly right, David. No sane person would listen to what this Cyrus Blackwood is saying; it's just not possible!" Mr.Brown says with an angered tone.
"That's exactly the point."
After hearing Aurora's words, David and Mr.Brown begin to listen to her attentively.
"Cyrus isn't trying to convince everyone to apply his ideologies; he is trying to bring people who already have his ideologies out of the woodwork. You would be surprised how many people hide such beliefs every day."
While Aurora is talking on the broadcast, Cyrus pulls out the same orange button he had earlier.
"You could say he is using insanity to fuel more insanity," Aurora remarks.
Back at the center of Grava City, Cyrus puts his thumb above the orange button.
"What the hell is that button?" Nixion asks.
"Don't worry, teach; you will find out soon enough. Listen world, I lead L.T.O. Which stands for Level Three Operation! The world is changing; folks, will you live your ambitions in complete freedom with us or die like an insect against us?" Cyrus asks as he clicks the button.
"No!" Nixion screams.
Suddenly, all across the city, giant white explosions erupt, destroying everything within their areas.
Down below Jason is feeling a dreaded nostalgia.
"Those explosions…I recognize them!" Jason says as he looks at his Geogaltic form.
In Jason's mind, a quick flash of all his teammates dying in the Geogaltic explosion at Grava Academy.
"Those explosions are the exact same ones that destroyed Grava Academy, and there are so many of them all over the city. I'm counting about thirteen to sixteen of them happening all at once! There are basically mini-nukes that are going to disintegrate everything in their path! Grava City is done for!" Jason thinks to himself as his body shakes.
At the same time, Mr.Mink is staring at the light of the explosions with an infuriated expression.
"Those explosions aren't at random; they're targeted!"
"What!" Kage shouts in a shocked tone.
"Those are all the rural areas, shopping areas, and every other area in Grava City that has the most surge of people! He is purposely aiming for the areas that have the most innocent people! This hell is just like back then…absolute chaos!" Mr.Mink says as he trembles from anger.
As everyone reacts to the multiple Geogaltic explosions, Cyrus Blackwood laughs hysterically with the explosions illuminating his background while the cameras still record.
"Hahaha! Yes, this power! Undeniable power! Freedom to be at the top of the world with no restrictions!" Cyrus yells with a huge smile across his face.
Cyrus raises his right arm to the sky.
"Seek me out!"
Cyrus raises his left arm to the sky.
"Idolize me!"
Cyrus basks in the harsh glow of the multiple explosions behind him.
"Come and destroy this mediocre system we call life and bring ourselves to the peak of existence!"
After Cyrus says his final words, the cameras stop recording and fall to the ground.
"Cyrus Blackwood! You will not leave this place alive!" Nixion screams from afar with an enraged tone.
"Really teach? I thought we had a teacher and student connection. I'm hurt by your words. How about you come over here and prove you stand by your words?" Cyrus remarks with a mocking tone.
Nixion rushes forward with his body exuding gold electricity.
"I have no choice but to hit him with a mastered OGI control punch!" Nixion thinks to himself.
Nixion swings his right fist at Cyrus with a mastered OGi control flex technique applied.
"Rahhh!"
Cyrus catches Nixion's punch with his body also exuding gold electricity.
"You have mastered OGi control as well!" Nixion yells with a shocked expression.
"What's wrong, teach? Don't tell me you thought you were fucking special!" Cyrus exclaims.
"What the hell have you been doing while supposedly dead, Cyrus Blackwood?" Nixion inquires.
"What the hell do you think I've been doing? Ask a question with some substance, you damn fossil!"
Cyrus pulls Nixion in closer so they are face to face.
"Also, it looks like we have some company," Cyrus remarks with a smile.
Suddenly from the sky flies down Hunter in a beaten state after his multiple battles beforehand. Hunter stops right next to Nixion and Cyrus as they clash with a menacing, vicious smile on his face.
"Hahaha! Nixion I finally found you! How dare you leave our battle undecided? It was just getting good!"
