The birth of chaos

  "come to think of it, I don't know how my village came to be"

  "and now it's been destroyed and wiped out of history...."

  "wait....."

  "what is history?"

these thoughts ran through Uzo's mind as he evaded the fleet's lasers and headed back towards the ruined village.

  he was glad when he saw the entire fleet follow him back and he was assured of his family's safety. as soon as he reached the outskirts of the village, he immediately sunk his arm into the ground and turned it as if he had held on to something. then suddenly two cannons rose up from the ground and began firing at the fleet. 

  "my power amazes me sometimes" Uzo said as he sat back and watched the beautiful display of fireworks.

  The show was fun and all but it had to come to an end at some point, and that point wasn't when neither side could no longer fire anything at each other. the fleet was the first to run out and they received a lot of damage until Uzo's cannons ran out. but the show was far from over and Uzo was very aware of the event that was about to unfold. 

  He stretched and flexed his muscles as he watched the remaining ships land and open their doors. and from inside the ships came large troops, all looking like they were the embodiment of tactical gear. each one of them covered head to toe with armour, the night vision goggles that they were obviously not going to use in the hot afternoon, and of course the guns, who doesn't like guns.

  The guns seemed high-tech and quite powerful but unfortunately they didn't get much use after the first few shots.

  Uzo with his incredible speed immediately got in their midst taking them down. he did it bare handed(and also barefoot(and also bare chested) so the best way was to either punch a hole through his foes, rip them apart, or use their own weapons against them. but as the battle unfolded, Uzo showed no intention of using the third option, partly because he was doing fine with the first two and mostly because what the soldiers were.

  "these are not men" he said as he ripped apart their synthetic flesh and wires that held them together. "but they sure look like they were made by men" he added as he continued his savagely evasive attack. 

  as time passed, Uzo began nearing his limits. he could no longer completely evade the attacks that were directed towards him and as time progressed, he started getting hit. even though he could see every move the enemy was making and how to stop them he had become too weak to carry out his evasive actions. and this continued until he finally fell from exhaustion. 

  as he laid there with time moving slower than it should, Uzo looked up at the evening sky and thought

    "at the point of my death, why couldn't the clouds give way, so I could see a beautiful sunset."

   "Instead they remain up there, refusing me a sight of beauty and unwilling to shroud my agony in the rain" these thoughts ran through his mind as he got tired of watching his life flash before his eyes and closed it. then a second thought of "one more time" ran through and his eyes opened with the brightest glow known to man.

  everything and everyone one that was near him got pushed back by the intense force that came from him. then at the top of his voice, he yelled "AMADIOHA!!!" and lightning struck the earth around him with a force no man could withstand, and the thunder that came from it could be heard from where Uzo's family were. Ada and her mother were worried but they made a promise to keep going and did not stop. 

  the lightning struck around Uzo for several hours, preventing anyone from coming close. anyone who dared was immediately reduced to ashes and all the soldiers could do was to stand and wait as nothing could pass the lightning barrier. 

  after a few minutes the lightning barrier seemed to have gotten weaker. the intense force could no longer be felt and the thundering was no longer heard. but as the soldiers got closer, they saw a man kneeling next to Uzo. his hair was as white as white could be, his eyes were as blue as an ocean of sapphires and he was clad in a pure white garment. the surrounding lightning flowed into him until none was left. and then he stood up and looked around him.

  before the soldiers could take the initiative and attack he had already begun, and in a manner of seconds, he was the only one standing. then he walked over to Uzo and picked him up facing the direction of the forest.

  Meanwhile, Ada and her mother were finally close enough to the forest to see the entrance. they had no problem getting there but the distance took a lot out of them. they were tired and hungry and the only thing that kept them going till morning was hope and sheer will. as they got closer, they could see someone running towards them from the entrance of the forest.

  "are my eyes deceiving me?" Ada wondered as she rubbed her tear filled eyes "Isn't that Uzo?" she said as looked again. and Indeed it was Uzo. she forgot all her exhaustion and and ran to hug her brother, there was no word that could be used to describe the amount of joy she felt. tears of joy fell as the family was reunited. even though they were just separated the day before, it felt like it had been years. then Uzo's mother popped the question "but how did you get here before us?" but Uzo didn't seem to have an answer, he just remained dumbfounded until he was told to not worry about it. they headed into the forest to begin their new life.

  Inside the forest, they met a few people who were already living there and they were given a warm welcome. Uzo spent most of his years using his power to try and figure out the true meaning and purpose of the Order, but his power was not the type to show him what he wanted to see. he aimed at causing the true end of order but even after he looked through fifty years of the future he didn't get the information he was looking for. although he did get an instruction that would lead to the true end of the order, he never got see it happen.

  Uzo went ahead to live a prosperous life and have prosperous family till the day he accepted the embrace of death. but long before that, he became the first 'Dibia' and represented the gods. 

  Under the instruction of the gods, Uzo sent his second son who would become the next Dibia on a mission to retrieve Amadioha's thunder in order to thank him properly.

  from the long line of second sons, none of the Dibia completed their mission. It wasn't because they couldn't but it was because they would rather not. but the gods kept telling them to pass on the mission to the next Dibia in order to achieve their true mission which only the gods knew.
