CHAPTER 5. INTO THE OBLIVION
Kanen growled under his breath “Y-You wouldn’t” he said.
“Oh, but I would! I mean sure she helped your escape but where did that lead you?” Omnium his finished sentence.
“Right back where you belong. However, this is not my decision to make” he informed him
“But I best advise you, my tolerance is running then” he added
Aliikai shook, her nerves giving no rest to her terror.
“K-Kanen, Kanen, p-please” her soothing voice reached his ears causing his mentality to pause itself.
KANEN (OLDER): It was within that very moment, my life changed forever. For her, For I, For all that we had influenced. It was all traced back to this very day, this very hour, this very second. Like evidence to an unsolved mystery, the foreshadowing was pieced together by remnants of my own memory. This was as far as it lead.
“Choose me if you must, I know, I know how it feels” her face becoming puckered as she spoke
“To want to protect what you hold most dear, I know it well” she said on the verge of tears, trying to suppress the lump in her throat.
“It is not fair” she said, trying to speak to Kanen but he was too far gone. He heeded her words but could not find it in himself to say anything back.
“Well! What’s it going to be Hanassan!?” Omnium asked.
“The girl or your family” he clarified.
Kanen turned away.
………………..

“Going once ! Going twice! You know what they say the third time's the charm” the monarch playfully joked.
“K-Kanen, Kanen” Aliikai called his name
“And sold to the little dirty blemish on humanity!”
Kanen lifted his head upwards to gaze back at Aliikai
“I-I’m sorry” she said sobbing.
“So sorry” tears streamed down her cheeks.
“Now listen, and listen well Kanen”
“I want you to memorize what is about to befall you, seal it inside for days and years to come. May sleep paralysis shutter your inactivity as you restore energy during rest, may it deteriorate your entire being during a self infliction that you have no control over. Let it sink into your soul and torment you until you beg for redemption! Let it’s dissonant melody shudder your insides just when you finally feel a grip on your self control. Without further ado, I bring you sowing from the reap of your cursed ancestors” Omniun raised his voice.
“LET THE ETHNIC CLEANSING COMMENCE!” He shouted, lifting his arms up ecstatically.
“K-K-Kanen, I am scared” Aliikai said softly
“What is to become of us, I thought, I still, I-I still trust you” she said, tears forming in her eyes.
The blindfold was strapped to her again by a standing guard, rendering her sight unavailable for use once more.
It began. Anguished bathed itself in all colors. All Imperium guards present within the den of Rationem yanked on switches connecting to a seunna generator on the far south side of the room. Some even snapping them in half and what was to follow gave rise to a living nightmare condensed in realism. The tubes attached to the countless natives shattered from the overflow of dark seunna. Their bodies bled from all holes in addition to skin boiling at temperatures passing overkill. Their screeches waned as the night grew longer, bellowing at the top of their lungs until they became soar. The generators core spiraled as the seunna was released, shooting into the air like fireworks. Bodies burst into a thicket of blood and bones, spraying their fluids in all places of Rationem. Some tried to escape, twisting the metal bars out of shape but instead their organs suffered that same fate in a horrifyingly gruesome manner. Kanen shuddered uncontrollably, as if in a seizure episode, his eyes did not blink in this fit of disturbance he experienced. Infants, whined as their bodies contorted in sickeningly ways with others that could only be described as borderline exorcisms, only driven by excruciating pain. Bones protruded out of bare skin in horrendous fashion, transforming their fleshy layers into that of thin meat lighter than paper. Similar to dominoes one by one, they fell each sharing a different cause of death. Kanen held his head in agony as he his eardrums dropped to the wretched screams. His very own lamentation choked him, he rolled on the floor to pass the affliction but the slaughter raged on. In random patterns, the seunna flew out of each body, adding tingling hisses to the thunderous shrieks that shook the chamber.
“I’m not sure our friend has a good enough look at what he has caused, men if you will-” Omnium said at the top of his voice.
An Imperium guard, lifted Kanen off the ground and forced his eyelids open, the other came and held his neck in one solid place so that he had no choice to but to witness it all.
“N-N-No!” he said shouting
“STOP IT!” he yelled, tears leaked like open faucets.
“AHHHHH!” He screamed swatting away the guards.
“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?!” He dried his vocal cords.
“PLEASE GOD, PLEASE! I BEG OF YOU ! STOP, STOP THIS MADNESS! I CANNOT TAKE IT ANY MORE!?” he begged, flailing his head back and forth as the tears flew in all directions.
It continued, as the monarch laughed settling in his sadism.
The traumatized native, scraped the ground with his fingernails. His veins traveled up his skin, splitting together in a tree branch formation. As intended by the monarch the bellowing had become so powerful that it seemed like each sound overlapped the other, making for a symphony of orchestrated screeches in which he was maestro. Splattering erupted in the beat of madness, becoming compressed without any seunna to support them thus popping like balloons. With bodies so weak the paranormal resource became a necessity to life but even now it had been stripped away, leaving them to a sorrowful demise.
“K-Kanen, w-what is happening” Aliikai asked.
“Please, I am sorry, so sorry” she went on, the tears soaking the blindfold she wore.
The morbidly deranged monarch continued his laughing.
“If only you had done as you were told! You would not be the last one standing!” he yelled, trying to communicate with Kanen as he drifted off the deep end.
Young Kanen’s eyes flashed becoming a solar flare in a spaceless void. Dark cloudy markings shrouded the area around them and shortly after became inverted. His irises switched to a solid white color, with the encompassing scleroses blackening itself. His spinal bones slammed to the surface of his backbone showing them visible and transparent through the skin. He lied crouched in a position that made him look similar to a savage beast, ready for a feral pounce. Vaporizing seunna gasses steamed from all sides of his body, letting them come forth screaming to the sky.
“AHHH!!” He spew vomiting blood.
“GIVE THEM BACK! GIVE THEM BACK! GIVE THEM BACK! YOU MONSTER!” He screamed.
“YOU WILL PAY! I SWEAR ONE DAY! ONE DAY!”
He howled fiercely echoing off walls in the chamber.
“I-I SWEAR” his collapsed in a puddle of his own tears.
“Even...if...it kills me!” he said lying with arms reached out, as if he was playing dead.
“Now you show forth your true colors” the monarch said.
“Are we of equal ground just yet? I would not say so, but now, now I definitely have something to look forward to” he said, his sharp grin taking up most of his face.
“KANEN! KANEN!” Aliikai yelled for his name but the volume became faded out.
In the nick of time, the revolutionary unit barged in. A multitude of Velatum soldiers occupied the entirety of the space, filling up Rationem. They began raining their barrage of attacks onto the Imperium forces, some using hand to hand martial arts to handle their enemies and others using a diverse set of weapons ranging from buzzsaws powered by seunna, close range firearms, and retractable whips seen like never before.
“Move! Move! Move!” one man commanded, leading his side to distract the Imperium subordinates while he dived in to save Kanen, but before that could happen the guard who stood watch over him jammed a shocking utensil into the native not only electrifying him but shutting down the seunna that was released from his body. Volts of static shot up into the air, causing the native to faint letting the attack suppress him to rest. Before he could do any more harm, the current Velatant leading the assault surprised his Imperium opposer by slashing him with a powered buzzsaw. He dashed out of his offence stance, to grab Kanen and make his way out of the Rationem exit.
His solid black attire camouflage his movement, swiftly allowing him access to the backdoor easily.
“Our guests have finally arrived! It’s good to see you all, but I’m afraid my business here has already been taken care of. If you had weren’t so late we could have had something going, shame, shame” the monarch said from above.
“But sadly, you all won’t be leaving the same way you came in. My people desire entertainment in place of their oppression, slumber without disquiets. So it is my job to medicate their inducing pains, which allows for no virus to make it through the system. Which means-” he said , sliding his finger across the screen bored.
“This should be the last time we see one another” he concluded.
Currents of lightning shocked the field in between paralyzing all caught in it’s place. Fortunately, the Velatant carrying Kanen by the arm was safe as he jetted outside of Rationem. The generator that caused the electricity to be produced kept firing deadly currents one after the other.
The liberator holding onto his native responsibility crossed paths with another Velatant teammate, they caught each other’s motive, nodded in cooperation, and proceeded to pass by. The monarch ordered his Imperium men to finish of the remaining Velatants , whose seunna mysteriously had failed when they needed it most Kensei made his way down the stairs, unchained Aliikai, and took it upon himself to move her elsewhere. His men followed shortly.
“Should I request a singular unit for your pursuit!?” the Velatant holding Kanen said before officially taking his leave.
“Nah, I’ll be fine for now send my son in for backup just in case I need someone to stop me from beating the living shit out of these Imperium punks! Ohh god, somebody better hold me back!” she said chasing after the monarch.
“Don’t do anything stupid JoJo!” he yelled.
“Oh, please what kind of woman do you take me for?!” she said.
“I’ll have Malik rendezvous wherever you end up, I’m sure as long as you stay faithful and active mother Dell is gonna approve” he yelled back.
“Of course she will, if she want’s this Operation to go as smooth as she planned it too” she replied.
Joanne cut the small talk and kept Aliikai in her sights, she slipped out of the opened door unseen hot on the Imperium trail.
They split and went their separate ways, partially successful breathing in the dusts of their arduous mission.
DELPHINA: And so young Kanen returned to his rightful home. My blessings go to all whom assisted and sacrificed their very lives to complete our mission. They will be commemorated and honored for all of their gallant efforts. As leader, I could not have been even more proud. The road ahead however had just begun, but this time the future leader of my Defiance unit was with us at long last. The trauma that had become associated amongst the tyranny with my conflicting Imperium, I knew was much above tremendous. Overbearing and overwhelming to say the least but those days for my stepson have finally come to an end. My infinite gratitude goes to Velatant Angel Juarez for laying down the finishing touches of excavation and paving way for the primitive stages for our upcoming Operation Xenysis, I am deeply appreciative and proud of him. Now, as my closest comrade Joanne Bellerice makes progress in liberating our second Defier, I will bestow new life upon young Kanen revitalizing his own being to be suited in our welcoming society. It was the first time in many years, I finally met him face to face on that lowering ride down into Domus that day. I am more than sure his father would be delighted to hear of his achievements, but that guilty itch of Kanen’s would need to be tended to as soon as possible. That poor boy does not deserve to have his vulnerable past eat him away, not when his youthful mind is still growing.
And so forth it was none other than my job to redefine what it mean to live, in proper standards of our own.
I stationed the liberators worldwide.
Two were excavated under harsh conditions, but one was impaired for a lifetime
3 years passed, alas where had the time gone?
