SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD

Hear the thunder

   "I always wanted to be a hero. I wanted to be the one that everyone could put their faith in no matter the situation. I wanted them to have no fear as long as I was around."

   "But here I lay. Alone, waiting for my strength to return while the enemy slays my people."

   "I feel helpless"

   "I feel weak"

   "I feel pain"

   Shin lamented as he laid on the ground unable to make a move. Tear flowed out of his eyes as he looked up into the sky.

   Then suddenly, a voice came to him saying

   "Get up!'

   "But I can't" Shin replied

   "Get up you foolish son of mine" the voice said again

   

   "There is no weakness In you"

   

   "The numbness in your feet is a lie"

   

   "The fear in your heart is an illusion"

   

   "The pain you feel does not exist"

   

   "So get up"

   

   "Get up, oh son of grace"

   

   "Get up and fight"

   

   "Let them feel your power"

   

   "LET THEM HEAR THE THUNDER!!"

   Suddenly, Shin no longer felt any pain in his body. His breathing was fine, his movements were perfect. The only thing different was he no longer had his lightning.

   He tried activating it but his lightning seemed to be gone. He tried again but it still didn't work.

   "What now father" he said as he looked up into the sky, then an idea suddenly struck him.

   He snapped his fingers and the result was a loud roaring thunder that sent an enormous shockwave destroying everything in its path.

   "Let them hear the thunder" Shin said smiling as as he took off with a sonic boom.

   The enemies were still rampaging through the city when they heard something that sounded like thunder get closer and closer. At first they thought it was a storm, but they looked up and saw a clear blue afternoon sky. Then they looked behind them and saw Shin storming through.

   His appearance had changed from what it used to look like. His hair was no longer white but pure black, the blue in his eyes turned gray and presence he emitted was strong.

   As he approached, anyone that got close to him died on the spot due to how loud and powerful the thundering sounds he was emitting were.

   "LONG RANGERS!!" the Prophets yelled, and all the Nihon long rangers turned their attention to Shin and started firing. But it yielded no positive result.

   It didn't matter what they threw at him, it didn't matter how powerful it was, as soon as Shin snapped his fingers, it was repelled by thunder. Soon the Prophets had to step in to try and stop his advancement.

   Zephyr decided to be the first of the Prophets to give Shin a taste of his power.

   "I see you've become more destructive that earlier but I know what this is" he said to Shin as he approached

   "This is just the final act before your flame blows out"

   "You might be strong right now but I am still much more power than you"

  "So bring it on boy, you have the honor of meeting your end by my hands"

   Shin paid little attention to the words that came out of Zephyr's mouth. He just looked at Zephyr and said, "even with all the loud thundering sounds around me, your voice still managed to be the most annoying sound I'm hearing"

   "It seems to cause me more damage than your actual attacks"

   Zephyr became infuriated by Shin's words. Without care for the lives of his men(not that he cared in the first place), he unleashed a tornado and send it in Shin's direction. The tornado tore through everything that was near it, houses didn't stand a chance against it and neither did the trees. Nothing could stand against it and every one that saw it immediately fled for their own safety.

   There wasn't much distance between them so it didn't take long for the tornado to engulf Shin. As he let himself be carried around by the dark spiraling gust of wind and debris, Shin thought to himself "somehow, this doesn't feel like a big deal" the he clapped his hands and released another thundering sound that dispersed the storm and calmed things down. 

   But zephyr was done just yet. As soon as tornado stopped, he didn't even wait for Shin to land before sniping him with a 'dark wind bullet'. Shin flicked it away and then snapped in Zephyr's direction, and a great thundering sound paralyzed the prophet.

   Then Shin walked up to the paralyzed Zephyr and picked him up by the collar of his robes.

   "If you don't call your men off right now..." he said

   "...I'll kill all of them" 

   "Then I'll go to your kingdom, and kill everyone there too"

   "Those are very big words from you, young man" Zephyr said with a grin on his face.

   "The attack will go on but you..."

   "... your life ends here"

   It didn't take long for Shin to notice the glow on Zephyr's chest and the cracks on his skin.

   "This same trick again?" He thought, as he firmly grabbed Zephyr and threw him at Dune and Hopper who were close to each other.

   Before they could react, the explosion was set off and the three prophets were gone in an instant.

   But even though their leaders were eliminated, the remnants of the Nihon soldiers kept on attacking as if nothing significant had happened. Shin first thought it was because of their blind loyalty but when he looked into their eyes, he found a different answer.

   "They are already dead" he mumbled

   All this while, Shin had been wondering to himself "what kind of man would blow himself up to take down his enemy?" And the answer came to him.

   A man whose actions are not of his own will, a man who has no fear or awareness of death, a man with no soul.

   Shin looked into the eyes of these men and saw that the had been stripped of their souls. They were nothing but soulless husks that were made to battle.

   "I have just witnessed true evil" Shin said to himself as he proceeded to put the men out of their misery.

   Within a few minutes, he ended the battle and immediately started running into the city with the little strength he had left.

   "Hannah!!" he yelled continuously, as he ran around with his heavy breath. He finally got home and saw that his wife was safe and he gave a sigh of relief.
