Lord Shadow

IN THE EAST CHINA SEA

UNDER THE SEA

INISDE A SECRET RESEARCH LAB

Will was sipping a cup of coffee. Hyperion has already changed his clothes and now he looks like a stylish rich man

By now, Will has already been brought to speed of what this earth is.

Earth Two as Hyperion termed it. And Hyperion himself is a Breacher like him.

A breach is people from other earths that came to this earth and is treated with extreme caution.

Mostly because whatever Breachers that came through the portal mostly consist of psychopath, arsonist and people who wanted to steal something form this earth.

And they are not your regular criminals.

An Arsonist who could conjure fire from his body, a thief who could moves faster than anyone else and blood soaked warrior from other Earth that is intent on destruction.

And the defender of this earth from such criminals and their last line of defense seem to be Hyperion.

A symbol of hope and light.

At first, Will asked Hyperion how was he able to enter this earth since it became apparently clear that Hyperion enter this earth by some kind of item instead of him who was unconsciously entered this earth.

And Hyperion answers.

‘The instability of the portal and the Red Speedster speed.’ Will was drinking the tea that was brewed by Hyperion himself while he was waiting for Hyperion to explain.

Hyperion takes his seat and then he said

‘You can call me Azief. That was my alias in this world.’ Azief said. But he did not reveal his character name in his earth which is Lord Shadow.

‘Ok.’ Will nodded as he put down the coffee cup and then said.

‘Now, will you explain it to me?’ Azief takes a breath and then he began explaining

‘I think the reason why you were able to enter this earth is because the Red Speedster wants you here.’

‘First of all who is the red speedster?’ Azief sighed and then explains.

‘One of my enemies. He was fast. Very fast. Faster than you. Faster than anybody. But in the end, he loses to me. I thought that the Speed Source will contain his speed. But it is clear there is remnant of his speed here and I think his plan involve you coming here.’

There is a lot of thing in that explanation that Will doesn’t understand but his most pressing question is not answered.

So he ask

‘Why does he want me here?’

And at this Azief was smiling. He already has a few thoughts about Red Speedster intention.

He does not understand the Speed Source the way the Red Speedster understand it but he could understand some of the Speed Source abilities.

After all the Red Speedster lives in a world of speedster where there is the Speed Source.

‘Because he wants to steal your speed to gain his corporeal body. You could only see him when you run fast enough don’t you?’ Will nodded.

Azief smiles. This raises his confidence on guessing the Red Speedster final plan.

‘That is because he is in the Speed Source. That was his last resort when he was almost dies. He hides in the Speed Source sacrificing his physical body.’

‘What is the Speed Source?’

Azief closes his eyes as he contemplates how to answer this particular question.

‘Truth be told, I don’t really know what the Speed Source is. But if I do know one thing about the Speed Source is that it can be felt by all speedster.’

‘How do you know this?’ Will said as he stares straight at Azief.

‘Because I’ve been there. A world of Speedster in ruins. And they worship the Speed Source. It what powers every speedster in existence. Each of them when they reach the right moment will tap the Speed Source and the energy of the source will power them to go even faster and faster. I do not know because even with all of my speed I’m not a speedster. In a way, I’m not chosen by the Speed Source. But I felt it in you. To be more accurate, I see it. The lightning. The energy that you release when you were running. It was the same feeling I get when I was fighting the Red Speedster. And if you come here, then he is here. The Red Speedster will come after you unless you never use your abilities.’

Azief talk about the Speed Source but he did not spoke about his confusion.

Yes, it is true in the Red Speedster world there is a Speed Source and that powers the Speedsters there but what powers the speedster on his earth?

Only one answer remains.

The World Orb.

The very same orb that gives humanity the power to defeat monster and improve themselves.

Azief speculates that every source of energy in existence and will ever exist, is present inside that World Orb…and that is a terrifying existence.

‘Then it’s easy isn’t it?’ I just don’t have to use my abilities.’ Will said bring Azief back to the current situations.

Azief chuckles.

‘You think that will be easy? I don’t know much about Red Speedster but I know he is cunning. He knows he can’t beat me using strength so he traps me fighting with him in a crowded area before I managed to capture him and force him to fight me in the vast plains of Mongolia. If he is confident enough to open a portal here and then even make you enter this world then he is confident he can force you to use your speed. And even if you don’t use your speed, maybe the only reason he came here is to gain the Speed Fragment that splintered when he dissipate himself and gains another physical body which means you were nothing but his transportation. This possibility exist’

‘Then you can send me home’ Will said as he began feeling anxious. He didn’t like the idea that he was being controlled by someone like a puppet.

‘If it were that easy’ Azief said as he leaned back on the sofa.

And what he is saying is the truth. Azief can go back but that is because of his Universe Orb.

He did not open a portal by himself. And truth be told he doesn’t know or care about that since the orb has always do the work for him.

‘Then what is your suggestion?’ Will said as he began feeling fear.

He knows what happens to people who are not needed. They will be abandoned. And that is what Will is feeling right now.

If the Red Speedster only wants him here to steal his speed then Will doesn’t know if he can outrun the red Speedster.

Because even in the state the red Speedster is in, the Red Speedster seems to be faster than him.

He is not fast enough.

Will look at Azief and then he stares at him, hoping for him to give him suggestion.

Because he don’t have time to waste here..….in another Earth.

He needs to relay the plan he has discovered about the League of Freedom plans to pit the Revolutionary Army and the World Government in an all-out war.

Azief got up from the sofa and look outside the glass pane which shows the dark sea which means Azief was seeing nothing.

But it almost seems like eh could see through the darkness, to see the light.

‘I’m going to teach you.’

‘Teach me what?’

‘How to harness the Speed Source.’ And saying this he turns back looking straight at Will and he smiles like he found a new toy
