Ficool

Chapter 12 - 11: Selection

The atmosphere in the building could be felt heavily, so many emotions mixed in the air as they watched a world die at the hands of the diabolus. The scene itself held majesty but not one that everyone in the room could agree to. Maya lay still, frustration showing as she clenched her fists and swore under her breath.

I'll end them, they can't win no matter what.

Suddenly, a chime rang across every person in the vicinity, while the more mature breachers didn't look fazed, Maya, Daisy and the rest look puzzled before three voices spoke in unison;

"Breach has been detected on Mundus 23741, in the Andromeda galaxy. A planet inhabited with only wildlife, no beings have been detected." The voices disappeared. Freya and Yama looked at each other.

"So they've made the first move huh?" He whispered walking away from the rail.

"I believe so looks like we'll have to wait unt-"

"The breachers being sent for this operation will be, Freya, Yama, Alucard, Jonas, Maya, Daisy and Lucas. The Deity prays for you."

Freya and Yama froze in absolute shock. A huge murmur ran across the building, it was no normal assumption for the Sister's of fate to know the threat level, but the deity hand picked the team for this mission.

"Why would he do it immediately?" Yama asked. Freya hissed under her breath and pulled Yama's arm.

"Don't you recall our previous conversation?" Her temper under an uneasy expression. Yama grunted as he walked away.

Later that day the 144 breachers were lined up, Alucard infront of them pacing slowly at the new recruits.

"Each breacher has a special function in this war, that is why your abilities all vary depending on what your role is in the war. We have the Omniscient. Each one of you under this role are required to give recon, analysis, data, as well carry out stealth and covert ops. Then we have the Omnipotent. As you can guess, this group have the power and defence of Mundus with them, they are the fighters that carry the burden of everyone with them. Last but certainly not least we have the Omnipresent. This group is what keeps Mundus alive through its very presence, they have the power to heal, reconstruct and rematerialize lost essence from both breachers and worlds. Each of you will be divided based upon the role your assigned by your systems, May Mundus be with you."

Maya looked on as others gasped and murmured slightly at their roles, hers had not yet manifested. Daisy and Lucas came closer.

"I guess my hunch was right, am in Omniscient."

"No doubt about me being in Omnipotence."

They both said waiting on Maya, she looked inwardly confused her role hadn't been picked yet. Yama walked over besides her.

"Am guessing because of your abilities, the system is still trying to assess which role you fit. I wouldn't worry too much." He said.

Freya came alongside Alucard nodding slowly as they all walked to where the Sisters of Fate preside. Through a long bridge from the main facility towards a dome encircled with what seemed like threads that stretched and pulled according to the pulse of Mundus' core. The arched doors at the entrance held engravings of a language Maya felt familiar with. The doors opened as they walked through a dark hallway with barely any vision. Before Maya could speak, strings of gold thread were being twirled infront of them as Freya's sigils pulsed as she walked slowly towards the trio who hadn't noticed of their visitors, murmuring only to themselves. One stopped murmuring and yanked her thread as it sent a faint hum across the room as it dissipated.

"My name is Atropos, what you have witnessed is me severing another ruined world from the heart to prevent corruption and infection of the diabolus. You seven will use the thread that is tied to Mundus 23741, insert your essence and cleanse it of the diabolus' influence." Everyone kept quiet as Freya nodded, one who was stretching a thread stopped murmuring and looked at Maya, her eyes pale white almost like she was possessed.

"Fear not child, your role is of little matter as of the moment for you are His as he is Yours."

Freya, Alucard and Yama didn't flinch, Lachesis mentioning this instead of Clotho was very mysterious. There's only one person they could be referring to as His.

Yama lightly humphed at the thought, Freya raised a brow before letting out a slow breathe, Alucard raised his brows in astonishment as they walked over to where Atropos stood next to a thread she held with her hand. She nodded as Freya held out her hand and gold strands from her fingers connected to the thread as she shrunk rapidly into the thread and travelled into a beam of light. Everyone went ahead as Maya remained the last looking at thread. She didn't know why but it all felt familiar. Atropos looked at her and let out a light smile. Maya's confused expression changed, she would get answers, but now she has to deal with a diabolus threat. She went through the thread and a memory played, it wasn't hers yet the familiarity was there. The feeling of happiness, the sound of two people laughing, a warm embrace. Her vision blurred as she appeared below cliff under dense tree cover. The rest were facing forward as they slowly turned to see Maya made it through.

"Good your here, I do sense this world has been breached, but the breach point has been erased entirely." Freya spoke.

"It could only mean that whoever breached, is of high level, A rank, worst case would be an S rank diabolus or fabled."

Further in the outskirts of an island on the world, five diabolus gathered, they held significant power causing the nature around them to slowly decay at their presence. One leaning on a tree spoke

"How much longer do we have to wait again? Am getting bored."

"If your bored go hunt down animals to gather essence." Another spoke wiping his sword.

"No fun, they run away, breachers don't run, now that is fun." He said cackling.

"Do you mind, am trying to get our recon finished." One said while sitting cross-legged, suddenly a pulsing shockwave went from his position and he opened his eyes.

"They're here." They all jolted as one diabolus with alot of menacing essence appeared from nowhere. He's long cloak at the bottom swirled with dark essence.

"Looks like Typhoon was right, they would come here the moment we breached. But unlucky for them, am just about to reach the pinnacle." He laughed menacingly revealing a medallion in his hand that pulsed vibrantly and contained strange etchings. For what was to come to both fronts, was either a trap or a surprise.
