Chapter 1062: Chapter 1062: Finally, Rampage
It wasn't a dark day at all, not even a cloud in the sky. And yet right now, the people could see nothing, because they choose to see nothing. All of them had their eyes closed, wanting to escape the dread crawling upon them.
They covered their ears too, but it wasn't enough.
It wasn't enough to silence all the booms, and to silence all the screams that came before and after. The screams of help, despair, and hopelessness.
"Hello."
"!!!"
David was hiding with his family on the rubbles of New York, or more specifically, hiding underground on the subway; compressing themselves in what he could really only guess to be a part of a train. A train that was suddenly plucked out from the tracks right in front of him. He saw it, his family saw it. They were about to board the train when it suddenly lifted up into the air; it started slow, but then just suddenly violently slammed into the ceiling several times. He watched, his family watched as the people inside started to get squashed, mangled, and twisted before the train finally penetrated the ceiling and was plucked away.
He could remember someone's eye even poking out of the shattered glass of the train, squirting its contents right at his face - but of course, it didn't matter. He knew he had to hide his children for whatever it was that did that. For him, it has only been a few days since Megawoman had died at the hands of Darkday, and there was nothing for him to do but hide. "Are you... are you a hero?" David was about to cover his children because he thought the one that found him might be Darkday, but the young man was the opposite of Darkday; he was clean, his hair and skin as white as snow.
"I was."
"Please... please, take my children, please!" David smiled as soon as he heard the young man's words. He then picked up one of his sons, who was probably just 8 years old and handed him
to the young man.
"Okay."
"Thank you, thank-" And before David could finish his words, he saw the young man grab his son by the head... and then just twist it around. The sound... there really was no sound when it happened, the only thing David could do was stare at the eyes of his son who no longer held any life at all of a sudden.
"Have you never heard that you should not hand your children to a stranger, Mister?" And of course, the young man was none other than Riley; not even wearing his Darkday outfit as he completely wreaked havoc across the city,
"That is why I find it strange that Americans always leave their children alone with babysitters."
"You... why... why did you—"
"I also killed your other children, by the way."
"Hm... I think we are done here," Riley then let out a small sigh as he raised his hand. And as soon as he did so, all of his clones quickly gathered around him, but not before killing all of the people they were torturing, "...Everyone, let us go to Canada next. Go."
And as soon as Riley said that, all the clones flew away, leaving Riley alone with David.
"Who... who the fuck are you?"
"You do not really need to know, Mister," Riley just smiled in response before snapping his fingers. And as soon as he did so, David exploded... along with the horizon; erasing everything for a thousand miles erasing the entire country.
"Well then, I suppose I will go to Asia and-"
And before Riley could finish his words, he stretched his palm to the side and caught
someone's hand - Tempo's hand.
"Impressive," Riley smiled, "I always knew you were the strongest member of the group - excluding Hera, of course. You-"
And once again, before Riley could finish his words, a hand emerged from the ground beneath his feet and without even any warning, Empress popped out and started slamming him
back and forth on the ruined ground.
Empress, however, quickly stopped as soon as she recognized Riley.
"You... Riley?" Empress quickly let go of Riley, "You... you did all of this?"
"Yes, Empress," Riley just nodded while still lying on the ground, "I am surprised that you
are still alive - no. I am surprised that a lot of you are still alive."
Riley then turned his eyes up, only to see probably hundreds and hundreds of heroes slowly gather around him and surround him.
"This will be fun," a wide smile soon started to crawl on Riley's face, "This is the thing I could not do back then- I will make sure to savor each and every last moment...
....before I proceed to Theran."
