~Crossover Cove~

​

Sephiroth was awestruck by everything that had just transpired, one minute looking like the end of him, to this man offering him the keys to controlling his destiny. He grabbed the man's hand and nodded, "I'll go with you. It would appear destiny has brought us together, let us see this fate you speak of."

​

Grell moved leapt out of the way of the Metal Wolf as it landed on the Cradle, leaving a large dent that will have to be buffed out later. "HEY, watch out where you're landing!" William was standing near the railing as Grell got to his feet, "The nerve of some people, eh Will?<3"
"Indeed. Your realize it's over Sutcliff, the world is safe for now. We're going back."
"But Will! What about all these people, I can't just leave. my public demands that I stay!" William looked over at Ciel, Sebastian and Saix who were standing togther, shaking their heads vigorously. "Yeah no, we're out of here." William began dragging Grell through a portal back to the Reaper's realm. "NOOO, SEBBY!! I'LL COME BACK FOR YOU!!!!" They vanished from sight as the three sighed in relief, William no doubt already trying to get back to work, Grell plotting to return later on.
Sebastian looked the most relived, "Well that's that master, the world is saved. What are we going to do now?" Ciel looked up into the sky, "Pray Marluxia fell into that black hole.."
"Amen to that." Saix said coldly.

~​

Inside the Cradle Mustang, Melvin and Mizore looked around. "So what do?" The litte girl asked, Melvin put his arm around her very creepily, "My dear sweet child, we're having what you'd call contractually obligated screen time. That means we get to have some unneeded dialogue about what we're going to do next because we might not return in the second arc."
"MELVIN, stop feeding the kid's head with lies." Mustang sighed and looked out the window, wondering where Hawkeye was. "Hawkeye, if only you could hear me right now. Riz-" Hawkeye appeared in the window seated in Black Widow's Helicopter, "Sup bro."
"No, not you! Riza.."
"Oh well..that's cool. Glad to know people care about me." He looked over at Natasha, cocking his eyebrows up and down.

~​

Up on the Helicarrier Fury wiped some sweat off his brow and looked up at the sky. "Another crisis averted, good work Avengers. Now I've got some pinheads to do some explaining to." He began walking toward the bridge, "Hey Strak, you wouldn't mind fixing the hole in the carrier would you? Great." He entered the elevator back into the ship.

~​

Back down the island Bushy's barrier began to fade away with the battle over with. Scar and Hades exchanged a nod, "Well I got some dead people to meet with Scar ol' pal, see you on the flip side maybe. If you're ever in need give me call, I'm sure Maleficent will be barking up my doorstep later. I'll come to the villain meetings only for the free food and laughs."
Scar acknowledged Hades departure, then glanced up into the sky, "It's done then, guess I can head back to Pride Rock. You know if I could get off this island and whatnot.."
Just then Kaiba's ship landed on the island, "Gotta stop falling asleep at the wheel. Glad to see you're not dead Scar, not sure why, but I am." Scar ran past Kaiba into the ship, "Good to see you too, now get me off this godforsaken spit of land."
"...Come on in." Kaiba rolled his eyes and entered the ship, preparing to activate the thrusters.

 

​

Dearche looked for a long moment towards her two retainers, who both looked back, apparently quite impressed at what had just happened.
"Hey, hey!" Levi yelled excitedly, leaning forwards. "We should do... that."
"Please don't give Yuri ide--"
"Yes!" Yuri said, hugging Dearche, which caused the latter's eyes to bulge with a combination fo shock and what was either fear or embarrassment.
"Let's do it, it'd be so much fun~!"
"If you start, I am not--"

Suddenly, Jail appeared on-screen once again, this time with a piano, and began playing a familiar tune, to which Levi recited the first line.
"This was a triumph!"
"We're making a note here; huge success~"
"...it's hard to overstate my satisfaction."
"...Crossover Cove."
"We do what we must because we can!"
"For the good of all of us~"
"Except the ones who are dead."
"But there's no sense crying over every mistake."
"We just keep on trying 'til we run out of cake!"
"And the Empire is gone, we have saved everyone~"
"From the bad guys who aren't still alive."
"I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now."
"It's because you stole my heart and saved me~"
"And blew Seph to pieces!"
"And threw every piece into the void."
"As they burned it was fun because it didn't happen to you!"
"Now these shards of Vader are just starting to shine."
"And we'll sort that later 'cause we're getting screentime."
"So I'm glad I got burned~"
"Think of all the bonds we've earned."
"With the people who are still alive!"
"Please do not grieve me. I think I'd prefer to see you smile."
"Maybe you'll find someone else to help you~"
"Maybe a new Tome. That was a joke, ha-ha, fat chance."
"Anyway this cake is great!"
"It's so delicious and moist."
"Look at us still singing when there's eating to do."
"When they stop and stare it makes me glad I'm not you." "HEY!"
"I've experiments to run~!"
"Gonna hug everyone~"
"For the people who are still alive~"
"And believe me, I am" still alive~!"
"I feel fantastic and I'm still alive~!"
"And though I'm drunken I am still alive~!"
"Still alive~!"
"Still Alive~!"

"If we ever do that again, I will murder everyone who saw it."
"But that was fun~!"
"You even looked like you were having fun, Dearche~!"
"I WAS NOT!"

 

"Hmm...these people far exceeded my expectations. Perhaps I should begin creating the ultimate being." Vexen had long left the battle just after he made his small contribution and watched the rest of the action from a safe distance on a thick platform of ice.

Embedded in the ice was Yoshimitsu's katana, which nearly impaled Vexen as it flew through the air from Safer Sephiroth's appearance. It's owner was nowhere to be found.

-----

"THE CURRENT THREATS HAVE BEEN SUBDUED. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE NEXT FORCE ARRIVES."
"And when is that?"
"WHEN THE NEXT ARC BEGINS."
Davros took the Supreme Dalek's words as somewhat cryptic, not knowing that the Supreme literally meant what it said. "Why do these events always happen on Earth? I would have much preferred Gallifrey."
"What did you just say?"
"My apologies, Omega. I had forgotten that you were still listening in."
"And is that a problem?"
"No. Not at all. I would rather you be keeping up with this information than be kept in the dark. It would make creating a mutual understanding of the current situation much simpler."

Among the people who were returning, Aqua recognized Vanitas and was going to warn Ventus when she noticed something about him. He seemed concern about the crystal form of Oerba Yun Fang, since Aqua didn't meet Fang when she was alive, Aqua simply thought that he was concerned as there was a real person in the crystal. She sighed and thought back to when Ventus was slept after he was taken in by the Master in the Land of Departure and what happened before she confronted Terra. Staring at Snow's crystal form, Hermione gripped the crystal around her neck and sighed.

 

~Meanwhile, somewhere at the bottom of the ocean...~​

The derelict Reaper Destroyer that was defeat a few pages back lied lifeless on the ocean floor. Various fish swam around the Reaper as if nothing had happened. Suddenly a pair of bright lights pierced the darkness of the ocean and scattered the sea life as it drew closes to the Reaper.

Spoiler: music to set mood

[video=youtube;T7BsRGnJXQk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7BsRGnJXQk[/video]

A submarine approached the Reaper corpse and stayed immobile as if studying it. Inside the sub a man was viewing a screen that had the Reaper on it. A smile grew on his face while the rest of his head was covered in shadows. The man began cackling to himself.

"YES!" He yelled with joy. "Now that I found the now defunct Reaper I can use it for my own purpose!"

The man laughed histaricly.

Soon! The world will tremble at the mere mention of the name..." The man bushed himself out of his chair dramtaicly revealing himself in the light. "DOCTOR INSANO!"

Insano began laughing even harder for a moment which soon developed into a mad cackle. Eventually the music from above just stopped and he was standing there giggling to himself for a few minutes. Then he stopped.

"...I'm lonely inside..." He said pitifully.

FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE WORLD ARC!

 

While everyone was celebrating on the Saint Cradle in the light, in the shadows of the room, there was a person watching everyone. He took a few steps into the light, leaning against the wall as the light revealed his appearance. He recognized Ankh, Eiji, and Hina in the crowd and smiled, before laying his eyes on Hermione. A smile crept along his face and he walked back into the shadows of the ship, Ankh turned to see, but there was no one there.

 

​

The Saint's Cradle and Above the Ocean; Victory~​

Leaning on the wall, overlooking the battle through the hole in the Saint's cradle was Sonic. A smile was on his face.
"Hey, Stern! Way to go out there!" Sonic yelled, waving to the Material.

Fate floated up next to Levi and hugged her.
"It was good fighting alongside you again, Levi. But I have to go now. I have to find Nanoha and Hayate. I'll come back, though. I promise."

Meanwhile, Wesker had already left the scene and was making his way back to Dr. Doom's flying fortress.
"Such a waste of time and energy fighting that so-called "God". One day, it will be me ruling this planet as it's new God."
Wesker kept thinking his thoughts of Godhood as he made his way back to the fortress.

Deadpool, having found a place to charge his 3DS, took the opportunity to continue his watching of Doctor Who. He was currently on the first episode of Series 6.

Eddie and the Kill Master had fallen asleep a few hours ago, and missed the entire battle.

Naruto and Ryu also were looking outside at the scene of the victory, smiling at the scene of peace.

MegaMan X and Zero were currently trying to contact their base of command, to no avail.

Siegfried, who had donned his Deal With It brand shades yet again, looked outside.
"Tight."

Tony sighed jokingly as he was told to fix the hole in the ship.
"You got it, Fury."
Meanwhile, Thor had just closed the gate that concealed the Titans in their prison.
"You will stay inside this prison until the day Asgard falls. So says Thor Odinson." Thor said before joining Nick Fury and Steve Rodgers inside the Helicarrier.

 

~The Kaibamobile~​

"That was beautiful.." Scar was blowing his nose as the girls finished their song, Kaiba keeping his ship hovered around the Cradle. "You going to be alright Scar?"
"I'll be alright, for one thing I'm happy I'm still alive. Perhaps there are some benefits to not being the biggest bad guy.."

"Nah. Punch it Kaiba-Boy."
Kaiba sighed and activated the thrusters, sending the Kaibamobile hurdling off into the distance. Eventually they arrived back in the Pride Lands, just as desolate and blarg looking as ever. "Home sweet home." Kaiba landed and walked Scar out to the opening of his cave, they couldn't remember if the cave had been destroyed in some previous fight, if so Bushy fixed the place on his way to Spain.
"Well this is goodbye Scar, although we didn't do much near the end I think we made our mark in histroy. If not I'll buy something really expensive and store it, that'll make me feel better." Scar mockingly saluted Kaiba, "Goodbye to you as well, I can't promise I won't be trying to take over the world later on, but you're welcome to join me during such a time and install a swimming pool of money in my future castle."
"I'll keep that in mind." Kaiba got back in his ship and blasted off toward Japan to make sure his monies weren't being spent on candy by Mokuba.

Scar entered his cave, just as technologically advanced as ever, and lied down on his thrown. For the first time in awhile he felt rather lonely. "I haven't been alone in quite some time. I've had butlers, lackeys, hordes of people running about, and even attended parties for the past while. Now it just feels so empty here.."
As Scar sulked a soft sound began to play until the entire cave was filled with music, Scar jumped up and looked around for the source of the music, then became quite confused.

Spoiler: Enter Classical Music

[video=youtube;iCrqhkKZ_EI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCrqhkKZ_EI&feature=related[/video]

"A giant Pipe Organ...don't remember having that installed." Scar examined the organ further, pressing one of the keys that had previously been playing on their own, "New fangled technology-"
"Please don't touch the keys monsieur, I'm fully capable of playing myself."
Scar fell backwards and jumped behind a bench, "It talks..you're a talking pipe organ.."
"I'm a talking pipe organ, your a talking lion, your point was?"
"Touché, still, how did you get here?"
"I've been here the entire time, playing soft background music during your many plotting sessions. I was beginning to think you'd never come back." Scar paced around trying to recall seeing a gaint pipe organ in the corner, but eventually brushed it off, "Hey, I've got company, this works. Do you think you can play this?" Scar placed a music sheet on the organ.
"But of course, I am Forte, I can play anything." He began playing as Scar sung along, taking a seat on his thrown as the imaginary camera panned out of the cave looking at all of the Pride Lands. Whatever the future holds for Scar, you can be sure he'll always be around, so long as I am.

 

~Forest Near Area for the Beach Party~​

"Hey, Mog, can you sense a artefact anywhere?"
"No, I can't, kupo. Sorry, Serah, Noel, kupo."
"Don't be, Mog. Lets just keep looking."

A trio of travelers walked through a forest, trying to find something in particular. The leader, a young girl with long pink hair, looked around curiously, behind her was a boy in blue tribal clothes who had his hand behind his head, looking around, and the third member, a strange looking flying creature who simply floated beside the girl. After walking a bit, the girl sighed and said to her companions, "I don't think we'll find a artefact here and we'll been fighting a lot. Lets take a break." "Sounds like a good idea, now lets find somewhere to rest." The boy said, and they set out to find the place.

OOC: Sorry, Protecter, borrowed Noel for his cameo appearance.

 

​

"Ah, Sonic. Thank you." Stern said, taking a small curtsy as usual. "What you did was most impressive also."

"It's fine!" Levi said, grinning at her original. "We'll see each other again, I know it~!"
"Fate." Reinforce said, approaching the much smaller girl. "If you're going to be looking for mistress Hayate, and Miss Takamachi, I will be coming with you."

~

Away from the commotion of everything, the Goddess of Hope, Madoka, approached the five crystal figures that used to be the l'Cie. She paused before them, smiling for a moment, before resting a hand on the shoulder of Snow Villiers's crystalised form.
Almost instantly, Snow began to revert to living flesh, just as the others did when she touched them also.
"This is my gift to you, l'Cie." she said in a voice that only they would hear. "Live on, and find hope in the path your choose."
Spreading her wings, she rose back into the air, a light gathering around her as she did so, before she vanished from sight completely.

 

OOC: That's fine, wouldn't be up at the tiem you posted their appearance anyway.

~

Within the vast reaches of space was the most largest but also reddest ship ever seen, funnily enough it also looked likea toy but don't let that deiceive you, it actually vey capable of battling and such, and who would be piloting this great big huge ship heading to Earth? Let's look inside then!

The main hallway underneath the ship had a Captain's seat with various furnture, most likely leather and akitchen in the back, out of sight as a man wearing a red overcoat and balck shirt with red lines across the chest, with his boots being simialr to that of a pirate's, the most unremarkble thing about this man was that he was probabaly no older than 18-20 judging by appearnce as he gave a small corner-like smirk, one leg over the over with his fingers pressed again one another, if you mistaken him for a villian, boy are you wrong!

"There it is... Earth, the place where I will find the Greatest Treasure in the Universe,, oi bird, stay on course." He said as a little robotic bird was flapping around and raised it's right wing in what appeared to be a salute. "Aye aye sir!" It chirped as it was pressing button on a console that looked like it was stolen from Star Trek and palced there for piloting the ship, of course, ti can be driven manually in another comparement with the steering wheel but who was this man? He was simply Captain Marvelous, one of the previously known Red Pirates in the galaxy and of course he must have a bounty right? Well the Empire did want his head for 1,000,000 credits, how did h gain this? Simply by raiding one of their treasure depositories.

~

Somewhere in a vast field, a coating of a silvery wall formed fro out of nowhere and a young man had stepped through, looking like your everyday japanese adult at least 18-20 at best witha strange camera around hsi neck, he wore a leather jacket, trousers but underneath was a magenta coloured shirt with a camera hanging around his neck, this man was a passing through Kamen Rider, Decade, the one who was said to bring the world to ruin by a prophet. "Another world huh?" the young man asked himself.

~

EIji was siling and noticed Ankh's sudden turn and looked at him. "What's wrong, Ankh?" He asked his friend.

~

Ichigo breathed as he disengaged his Bankai, allowing him to return to his usual attire and heaved Zangestu onto his back.

~

Zidane was amazed Sephiroth didn't exactly notice the huge falling station, then again, he did figth against him while eh was a Warrior of Cosmos.

~

Inuyasha crossed his arms and simply watched.

 

Hermione, who was near Snow's crystal form, felt a pair of strong arms wrap themselves around her and gasped when she saw Snow hugging her. Vanitas also got a surprise when Fang suddenly hugged him, Vanille stretched and smiled at everyone. Terra and Vivi were shocked and amazed at what happened, Lockon was surprised but smiled, Setsuna patted his shoulder while Lyle stood against the wall, smiling. Harry and Ron smiled at seeing the l'Cie alive again while Draco was in shock, Kyo and Kisa smiled at each other while Illya hugged chaos and he hugged her back. Ankh heard Eiji and said, "It's nothing, Eiji.........." 'But that felt like Kazari awhile ago, I wonder was it him?' Ankh thought to himself.

 

~Vacations Where I Wanna Be~​

With Sephiroth defeated, the Death Star Destroyed and the Empire driven away, there was only one thing left to do.
"It's time Mustang." Melvin made his way up onto the Cradle's deck, Mustang following behind confused about the matter.
"Melvin why are we up here? I was sulking if you didn't notice."
"Exactly why we're up here, this ship runs on happy faces!"
"No, no it does not."
"Does so."
"Would you morons shut it, I'm trying to enjoy the breeze." Ciel was sitting at another obligatory table Sebastian had set up, siping a cup of tea. "Besides, if this ship ran on such tomfoolery we'd all have landed in the drink some time ago."
"Indeed, Saix's mug would be enough to sink us with on scowl."
Saix scowled at Sebastian, at which point the ship did shake a little, "I um.."
"No that's just Mizore, the ship was starting to melt so she's applying another coat of ice." Mustang took a seat with Sebastian as Melvin stood up on the railing, "What are you-"
"I'M KING OF THE WORLD!" The group stared at him in shame, not confusion. "Alright enough of this tea drinking and such, WE'RE GOING TO THE FRIGGIN BEACH MUTHAF*CKAS!" Melvin raised his rod into the air, it began to illuminate in a blinding white light. He laughed like a maniac as everyone within the vacinity, was transported to the beach. "I also have the option of giving you all enormous breasts if you fancy."

 

​

"Do it." Jail said, staring Melvin in the face very seriously. "Everyone. Right now."

 

​

Sonic gave his usual thumbs up at Stern.
"Thanks. Couldn't have done it without Rein, though. That Unison stuff is awesome!"
Sonic then looked over to Rein, giving a two-fingered salute to her.

Fate smiled back at her clone before Reinforce approached her.
"You want to come with me? Okay...Let me go get-" She was cut off by the one she was about to go get, who had just flown up to them on a motorcycle.
"What's taking so long?" Ghost Rider said, as he came to a stop in midair.
"Reinforce says she wants to come with us. She wants to help us find Nanoha and Hayate."
"Alright then. Let's get a move on." Ghost Rider said, driving back to where Fate and him were searching before.
"Alright. Time to go. Goodbye for now, Levi." Fate said one more time as she flew off after Ghost Rider.

Just then, everyone on the Saint's Cradle was transported to the beach.

 

Everyone was amazed at the fact they were at the beach, Harry smiled and figured they deserved a vacation from everything that had happened so far. Aqua, Harry, and Ventus helped everyone, expect for those with the power to teleport, off the ship to the beach. Fang took the all the girls to the girls' changing room while the boys went to the guys' changing room. After awhile, the guys came out in swim trucks, Harry wore a pair of green swim trucks with a unbuttoned shirt on while Ron wore a red pair and Draco had a lime green pair, Snow wore a teal colored pair, Ankh simply unbuttoned his shirt and took his shoes, Kyo and chaos both wore orange colored swim truck, though chaos' were darker than Kyo, Setsuna wore a light blue pair while Lockon wore dark red and Lyle had dark green.

Afterwards, the girls came out, looking at them, Draco and Ron suddenly had nosebleeds which Harry was quick to add to plug-in. Most of the older girls wore bikinis, Hermione wore a dark red one, Aqua and Fang both wore blue, though Fang's was darker than Aqua, Vanille had on a pink colored bikini while Hina wore a purple colored one, Yuna had on a dark pink bikini, Terra wore a light red one, they all wore clothes around their waists like skirts. Illya and Kisa both wore one piece suits, Illya in a light purple while Kisa was in a sandy brown.

The girl led her group to the beach, and smiled, "Mog, Noel, look! A beach!!!! Now we can relax!!!!" "Yay, kupo!!!! I can't wait, kupo!!!" Mog said, happily, the girl hid behind a tree and took off her clothes to change into a bright pink swimsuit. She smiled, and ran into the beach.

 

Ichigo had changed into what appeared to eb a unbutton shirt that was red with yellow infinity circles down the sides and some black swimmign trunks as once again, his abs were visbibly shown, Inuyasha meanwhile, just pulled off the top half of his outfits, revaling his musculed figure after many years of fighting demons, Eiji meanwhile, was developing soem muscule but wore a unuusual pair of underwear with tiny purle dots,a muiltcoloured in fact.

Zidane meanwhile, also changed into a golden pair of trunks witha nice cut in them for hsi tail to move through, surpsingly enough, he wasn't furred underneath, but a toned figure while Ventus had dismissed his armour in the changing room and had changed into a pair of green swimming trunks with a wind symbol upon them and stepped out.

~

Noel just put a hand to his forehead as the simple enrgentic side that is Serah, he had to be honest however, they did deserve a break from travelling in the Historia Crux and correcting the timeline, he never had a swimming outfit though, in 700 AF, there was hardly anyway you could call a beach so he just stuck with his usual clothes, they weren't very warm but it allowed teh breeze ad hot weather to blow nicely as he followed them with his weapon carried on his back, the Odinblade, forged by Hope in the year 3XX AF with a Chaos Crystal from Serendipity, Serah had the Odinbolt which was also bought in that same casino, their weapons were powered by a Paradox and it was a Noel said, using a paradox to fight a paradox.

 

~Beach Party~​

"One knocker of a party coming right up-" Melvin exploded in a fiery blast that sent him upside down two miles away, landing him somewhere in the middle of the ocean. "Not going to happen." Mustang put his hand down after having blasted Melvin away. Ciel was now sitting at an obligatory beach table sipping tea, "Fetch me some fruit mix tea Sebastian, I want to drink the mood."
"Right away mas...-" Sebastian was about to prepare some when Grell appeared on the beach, posing like a french girl on a beach towel, in a bikini. "Why hellow there Sebbykins!<3"
Sebastian subsequently exploded in another fireball, flying off upside down two miles away.
"That poor sod will thank me later." Mustang sighed and averted his eyes from Grell, who had run over and stomped his foot. "WHAT THE HELL MAN?! First you took away my chance to gain an ample bosom without expensive surgery, now you blast my Sebbykins off into the ocean!?" He grabbed his chainsaw out of god knows where and ripped it into overdrive, charging at Mustang. "Wonder how painful it would be to blow myself up..?"
"I'd imagine far less than what you'll receive otherwise." Ciel commented, irked about his lack of tea.
Just before Roy was going to be minced, Hades poofed onto the scene and grabbed Grell's chainsaw, "Whoa, whoa, chillax babe..bro..fellow death god, we'll go with that." Hades calmed Grell down, "Instead of wasting your energy on him, you should be swimming out to your love."
"You're right flamer! I must go, my Sebby needs me!" Grell began swimming off into the ocean at a high rate of speed.
"Flam-wha..-HEY!"

 

Hermione and Ankh served as unofficial lifeguards as they watched everyone. Ankh had found a ice cream shop and took some for him and Hermione to enjoy. Harry and Ron were helping Illya and Kisa making sandcastles in the sand, while Fang forced Kyo and Draco to play beach volleyball with her, Hina, and Aqua, chaos had joined to make a even team. Snow, Setsuna, Lockon, and Lyle were relaxing on the beach. Hermione smiled and licked her ice cream when she felt a bump against her back, and found Mog. He shyly held his clock staff, and said, "I'm so sorry, kupo. I was just excited to go to the beach, kupo!"

Smiling, Hermione said, "It's alright, but where's your owner?" "Mog, don't fly off like that." Serah ran toward them, she looked at Mog, who apologized and sighed, then Serah noticed Snow on the beach, she asked Hermione, "Can you look after him for me?" Hermione nodded and watched Serah run to Snow. Hermione sighed and whispered, "So, that's Serah.... Snow's lucky to have a cute girl for his fiancee."

 

OOC: A while back, DT said I could bring in the Chaos Fleets to invade once the Beach Party started. I'm also bringing a character from my reserves. Unfortunately I don't have time to write out the whole thing. So I'll post the first part then the second for when I get back. Just so you know, this is no where near the party. Cheers!

IC:

"And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him."​

-Revelations 6:7-8​

The current world population is 7,025,820,828 and counting.

The number of people who have died within this minute is 121,269.

Two minutes: 121,356

Thirty seconds: 121,372

121,390

121,423...

Every second that passes, someone somewhere in the world dies.

In the moment that it took to write that sentence and this one, the total of people who've died in the world became: 121,764...

Aproaching the Earth was a meteor wrapped in pale green flames. Quickly crossing the empty void and entering the orbit, tumbling towards the planet's surface, leaving a trail of smoke in its wake.

121,930...

122,129...

Isn't it a depressing statistic? Then again, if everyone in the world continued to live and live and live, they'd start falling off the planet, right? We'd suffocate the whole world and leave nothing left but an empty husk. Our home. Hah.

Not to mention that death is too good for some-

Oh.

What was that just now?

It was a flittering moment of existence. Something was born just now, and it died in the same instant.

The meteor finally landed. Crashing into a hill, destroying it and leaving a large crater.

Life and Death. Life and Death.

Death.

‎He was there from the beginning.

A power that exist at the end of all things. He walked with our gods and shaped our deepest beliefs.

An executioner at the gallows. A lone hunter on a pale horse. A soldier on the battlefield. A criminal in the shadows.

Fields become burial grounds in his wake. Every great atrocity, every feeble passing, he stands witness. In our strife, in our revolutions and in our wars, he has left his mark.

Rising from the impact from the crater a tall figure step forth. He was sent here to investigate, something was disrupting the balance. off in the distance he sees a city. He needs to go there. Like a phantom, a horse appeared besided him. Mounted himself on top of it he began to make his way to the distant city.

The Horseman cometh. And heads. Will. Roll.
