Seven's capital, Malison
---------------------------------------------------

▫️Seven

My throne was made of the finest gold. It was built from the ruins of this city. My wings scraped the ground as I walk, I could never sit in that throne.

I gaze out at the screens from several security cameras on Malison. This is the battle area, where I have fought my family for the past years. I used to watch my army slowly defeat their army, until these Zodiac Rangers came along, now they are close to getting to me. I know they will kill me eventually... so I need to think fast.

Lately my friend Zavier and I had been working on this new weapon. It is a bomb. A bomb that is bigger then any other bomb ever. We have run tests on computers, it seems we have created a monster, that if released will destroy the entire planet. Now I'm not willing to set of this bomb to do that, mainly because I myself would also be killed. So Zavier and I must keep trying to get something to destroy the stupid Loyalty side.

"Seven, the enemy is attacking, just as you planned." Zavier tells me as I'm gazing over war-plans across my desk one day

"With defeating them, we will bring darkness upon Malison." Another one of my loyal servants said. "There is no way we can lose all this. Even against those filthy Zodiac wannabes."

Foolish people. They are so young, so innocent, so willing to get themselves killed that they can not see what I really am doing, a distraction. I want them to come to me. I want to see what these Zodiac Rangers can really do. Better yet, I wish to capture them and use them to my advantages. But it seems the loyalty side has done a pretty good job at brainwashing their young into thinking that my way is evil, and the loyalists are good. But they are advancing too fast, my men are dropping like flies, I need to hurry this along because each second I waste is more people dying.

"Fire away with operation 712," I wave my hand. "And someone fetch me my cloak."

Everyone rushed to obey my orders. I know they are all just waiting to die in my name, to gain my approval. I hope they aren't just all blindly following me. I really just want my men to be loyal to me because they agree with me. My goal is to fight so we all have a say and we can all make our own decision, following no man. A young boy brings me my black trench coat and hold it up so I can put it on to cover my wings. With it, no one can see who I am, all they would see is death in these crystal blue eyes I possess. 

"Sir they have us surrounded." The girl spake to me.

"Excellent." I grab a bottle of water. "We can attack in any direction."

"But sir-"

"Attack in any and all directions." I yell at her. I waved my hand signaling everyone in the room to clear out. "Whatever it takes... just end this. I want to win."

"Sir, we can not leave you alone here." One of them tried to disobey.

"Then you should all go out and fight in my name." I took a sip of water. "Leave. I know you are all desperate to do so."

I scroll through security footage on the camera. The closest person to me was a blond boy and some pretty girl. The boy is a Zodiac Ranger, number 148 according to his armband. He seemed pretty well built, he seemed courageous, focused, and strong. The girl on the other hand, also a Zodiac Ranger, number 149. She was a bit bigger, clearly she was not built for war, but she had fast instincts. I watched the two of them fight my men as they made their way up my building. Both would make an excellent collection to my army

"You see this Zavier?" I say.

"Indeed," Zavier nods. He was standing behind me looking over my shoulder. "Fresh meat?" He questions. I look over at him and smile as I see his sandy blonde hair fall into his face as he chuckled.

"I'll do whatever it takes to get warriors that fight like they do on my side. they have made it the farthest out of anyone, only a few floors below us," I smirk as I glance over the screen as I watch them fight fight.

The boy holds out his hand forward, a ball of fire shoots out and catches one of my guards. I watch him scream as he burns to death, falling to the floor in a role of black ash and bones. The boy looked frightened, then he realized his sleeve was on fire and spent the next moment running around like a mad man. Eventually he was able to pat it out.

"He isn't the brightest..." Zavier said with an eyebrow raised.

"It's fine, he will be easier to convince to join me. He will also be easier to intimidate to get information on the loyalists," I argue.

Then an alarm went off, signaling something important. I quickly tap at the computer, the warning comes up. Apparently the stupid loyalists had decided to kill all of my main line of defense.

"Ugh..." I roll my eyes.

"Well that's crappy," Zavier comments.

"Well the past is the past, call a commander and tell him to send more troops to the area and drive those stupid loyalists back," I order.

"About that..."

"What?" I turn in the chair to look at my lifelong friend.

"They are dead," Zavier states.

"Appoint new ones," I simply say.

"We have nobody," Zavier says. "Nathaniel... the other side, they have been massacring all our men. Our tanks have been destroyed, our planes shot down, we have more loyalist prisoners then we have people in our army. I--I think we are losing."

"No... no we can't be!" I quickly turn and check the stats on the computer, they were just updated a few hours ago. My bright blue eyes flash open in shock as I see there truly is practically nothing left. "We need to get out of here," I mumble quietly. I feel my heart rate increasing as I stare at the small numbers that continue to drop. I need to reform, regroup. I can't let Mike and Luke win. 

"Nathaniel!" Zavier quickly grabs my shoulder. "You need to calm down."

"How can I calm down!"

Zavier points to the bottle of water sitting beside me. It is frozen solid with light frost on the outside. I look at my mouse, which is the same. The edges of the computer are too.

"Nathaniel, I know taking on all the powers gave you the strength you need to do this, but lately there have been more slip ups. I think you need to let go of the power—"

"No!" I stand up and pull away, walking to the other side of the room as I walk back and forth, keeping my body busy.

"You can still win this! I know you can! I can help you," Zavier said as his eyes watched me walk back and forth. "Listen, you don't need to be afraid—"

"I am an idiot Zavier! I did something wrong, or Luke is cheating. But everyone is dying or dead! We are going to lose!" I yell. "We were never going to win!"

"We can continue fighting Nathaniel, we haven't lost yet, we can do this," Zavier says.

"I can't even control all 12 of these powers!" I complain, sparks dancing on my fingertips as my emotions got more and more out of control, so did my powers. The waters in the bottles at each desk now tilted towards me as I paced across the room.

"We can work on that together Nathaniel. But right now we need to go, look that boy and girl are almost to us!" Zavier warns, pointing at the screen.

"Zavier! That's only making this worst!" I fall to the floor and hold my knees, rocking back and forth on my heels as I felt my power getting further and further from my grasps.

"Okay, ummm... don't panic." Zavier walks over to me and helped me off the ground. "We can do this... we can work on this... just deep breaths."

I breath in and out as he takes me over to the balcony for some fresh air. I look out across the land that used to be the most beautiful of trees. Now it is all wasteland, just dirt and rubble from the buildings. Everything that made Madison beautiful has been destroyed by this war.

"I need to end this." I continue to stare at the land around me.

"No, you can't surrender." Zavier looked shocked as he stared wide eyed at me.

"I'm not surrendering," I hold my hands up at the sky. "Just using this stress to my advantages. Let's see how well these loyalists do in the worst storm Malison has ever experienced."

Zavier smirks, "Let's do it. Whatever it takes?"

"Whatever it takes to win," I state after him. Then I exhale and release the greatest storm known in the history of the universe.
