Alex Fury Arc - 3 - Solution

Stacia's POV

After my escape from meeting Alex, while dragging my comrades back with my Reign, I reported our mission's failure and Alex's existence with his Reign.

"Impossible!!" Our leader, Sir Ayes, shouted in shock.

He's probably shock because of Alex's ability to absorb and copy Reign, if you're there, you would really not believe it with your own eyes as well.

"I didn't have a chance against him, so we ran away." I said.

"Have he copied your Reign too?" Sir Wey asked.

"No, he haven't yet, but I'm not too sure." I said.

Well, he almost, but luckily I controlled it in time, but I didn't really see if he did.

"Well, it's better to assume that he didn't." Sir Ayes said.

Sir Ayes is the leader of Reign Corp, he's an Ice Reigner too, just like Alex, but Ayes used his Ice Reign like a wizard, I don't really know the full concept of Ayes' Reign, but every time he uses his Reign, a certain type of circle with a symbols in it appears, just like a magic circle does in an RPG video game, but I doubt Alex is better than him, well, I haven't seen Alex got serious so I have no idea.

Sir Ayes can freeze an entire army on his own, leaving them to froze to death, he is merciless against the Anti-Reign and Scope Company, because of how they treated him like a lab rat, and experimented on him and his Reign.

He is a cunning leader, smart and nice at best, but he's heartless to anyone who oppose him, might not be good to be on his bad side.

Sir Wey, the most energetic and have the most destructive Reign in almost everyone here, his Reign is basically Destroy, his strength increases in 10 fold, despite not buffing up while using his Reign, he can tear down a whole building if he wishes, but he never because of Sir Ayes' order.

He is one of the three founder of Reign Corp, the last one is Miss Rea, she's pretty, her Reign is the most confusing of the three of them, possibly the entire Reigners, her Reign can like control matter and the minds of others, it's like she's warping reality, she can almost do whatever she wants, but I don't know why she stayed with the Reign Corp, I think her Reign has its limits, every time she uses her Reign, she became hazy, and dizzy, all Reigners experience fatigue when their at their limit when using their Reign, while Miss Rea's is different to the others.

Come to think of it, is Alex the same or not?

"He uses Ice Reign, he can manipulate it at his will, while I must imagine my Reign's certain attacks and have to redo it if I have to recast it." Sir Ayes said.

"And he can copy any Reign, THAT'S NOT FAIR!!" Sir Wey shouted in tantrum.

"Are you certain about this, Blue, you better not be lying in front of me." Sir Ayes asked in anger.

"I would never, if you want, I can call the others who fought him!" I said in desperation in thought of losing Sir Ayes' trust.

"No, it's fine, sorry I doubted you, if it's you then, I trust you." Sir Ayes said with his eyes glared at me.

"This Alex may be trouble for us, you found a very dangerous fellow, Blue." Sir Ayes said.

Well, I do wish he is, but what he said to me, is not trouble, he have different answer to all this Dotun mess, or that's what he wants to find out, despite this, I should help Alex as well, but I can't let the Reign Corp know, especially Sir Ayes, there's only one thing I haven't said to Sir Ayes, it's the fact that Alex is a Cyborg, I don't know when and how he got that, but it's the part that absorbs Reign and copies it.

Where's Ma'am Rea though?

"Sir Ayes, may I ask where Miss Rea is?" I humbly asked.

"She took on another lab on her own again, why'd you asked?" Sir Ayes said.

"She's always quick witted." Sir Wey said.

"I was just thinking if she can also do the same thing, like copy other Reign." I said.

If she can do it too, then she'll be the opponent to match Alex, I'm lucky she's not here to know Alex's existence.

"I don't know for sure, by the way, where is this Alex is now?" Sir Ayes asked.

"The last I saw him, he's on S-13 Branch." I said.

....

"Sh*t!!" Sir Ayes shouted.

"What's wrong Ayes??" Sir Wey asked.

"Rea might encounter this Alex, She's in Dotun Bridge, near S-13 Branch, Wey, go find her, if you did, take her and run, if you see her in trouble, assist her, don't let this Alex copy your Reign, GO!!" Sir Ayes commanded.

"This Alex is gonna be a real pain for us if he got Rea's Reign, you go as well, Blue, don't let this chance be wasted, get rid of Alex, in other words, kill him, if you do, I'll consider you one of us, this is a special mission only for you, Go!!" Sir Ayes ordered.

"Yes, sir!" I said.

Kill him, I don't know if I can, both physically and mentally, he's my dear underclassmen and my former boss, but I can't let Sir Ayes lose my trust, I have to survive this wretched city first, if I have to fight Alex, I will, but first, I have to fix this uneasiness that Alex gave me back on S-13 Branch.

I run out quickly, and followed Sir Wey.

"Hey, miss Blue, you're coming too?" Sir Ayes asked.

"Yes, but I'm not in any position to be called miss though." I said.

"Hahaha, don't worry about that too much, let's go!!" He said.

Rea's POV

I just left the base and teleported myself to the Dotun bridge, there's a small lab there where they put a portion of Reigners, but it's heavily guarded, which is very suspicious.

I'm Rea, I might be a former model, but I'm a full time Otaku, this Dotun Incident really gave shine to us Otakus, since it gave us powers and all.

Nobody knows I'm an Otaku and nobody knows what the true concept of my Reign.

It really is a dream come true for me, because I have a Reality Reign, I can basically do whatever I want, I can block, attack, teleport, but I can only teleport to a place I've already visited and near me, and I can also hallucinate others too.

I can't control what the hallucinations are, it triggers fear, PTSD, past memories, and traumas, I know because I tried it on myself, it's full sh*t but i handled it perfectly.

I can also create things, shape them into whatever I want, isn't my Reign too awesome?

I'm about to kill a lot of soldiers here, yet I don't feel anything, no sympathy or fear or whatever.

I think I became heartless the moment I became Otaku or something, that's when I found out the true nature of this world, when I first killed somebody, I felt scared for a moment, and after that, I never felt it again after I killed another, it's like I was made for this.

I met Ayes and Wey when they saw me killed all my make up artist using my Reign, those artist always talk behind my back anyways, all the time, they just want my money, so I took their heads after I gained a good grasp of my Reign.

Ayes and Wey never pressured me, and helped me get back up again, and they're both and Otakus as well.

I feel like an edgy character in a manga, with a gangs of good friends in arms.

But enough about me, before I stepped in to this soldiers, I used my Reign to conceal myself, I'm invisible to be precise, I stopped in the middle of all of them unnoticed.

I used my hallucinations to the soldiers, and all of them fell down on the ground flat.

God I'm OP.

I used my Reign to form multiple blades and was about to kill them but someone from my right hit me with Ice blast.

Ayes?

No, Ayes doesn't have that kind of sloppy Ice, and he doesn't have the balls to hit me, I'll take his arm in return, they'll do the same too if that happens to them, that's how we play.

I used my Reign to break the ice.

It's a hooded man, I stood up and face him.

"You're a feisty one." I said.

And he charged at me, he's a fool.

I used my hallucinations and put him down, wow, what a let down.

I created a blade using my Reign and was about to kill him, but his right hand just warped.

Wait the warping is red, did he absorb my Reign?!

My Reign is colored red, so it is.

And he stood back up.

"This a pretty nifty trick, Reality Reign." He said.

No way, how'd he know, his eye, he's a Cyborg?!!

Then how?!!

Alex POV

I was pretty surprised Ma'am Stacia can pull off something like that, still, I wished she'd be more smart than this, I have to get her out of that group immediately.

Even worst, she's part of that group that started all this mess, the Reign Corp.

The S-13 Branch increased their defense after the last attack, after Miss Stacia left, I had to deal with them, but I didn't fight back, their guns don't affect me, since I heal up pretty quickly, then they stopped and asked me why I'm not fight back despite I'm affects ked Reigner, then I just said.

"Don't let the Reigners inside get taken by them, they're stronger than all of you here." Then left the vicinity.

I really missed the S-13 Branch, but it was half destroyed now, they're still using the secret lab underneath so that's good.

I remembered that there's a secret lab near Dotun bridge, if I'm not mistaken.

Of course, I ran over there quickly to look if there's some Reigners there, then take in all of the Reigners.

I just caught a glimpse of what's inside while working in S-13 Branch back in the days, that lab supports S-13 Branch to advance to S level.

In order to advance from a certain level of Scope branch to S level, they must have at least 10 connections to other branch, then they have to be 100 story building, lastly, they must impress Mr.Scope with their innovative products.

When I got there, I saw a lot of soldiers.

Why would they put a lot of soldiers there that's a small lab?

(Hint hint, The Trix)

Then a lady walk up in the middle of all of them, is she their boss?

The other soldiers didn't notice her, maybe I'm right?

The lady lifts her hand then puts it down.

After that, all the soldiers fell down, how'd that happen?!

I saw her conjured a multiple blades and about to kill them.

Of course, I rushed in after that, since I'm a bit far to the east of it, so I shoot my Ice Reign like a beam to her.

It hit her, but she breaks it swiftly, after that, she stood up, the ice breaks like glasses, and it's like a chain reaction, what's her Reign anyway?

"You're a feisty one." She said with her red eyes glowing.

What?

I have to take her down quickly or things'll get ugly, that's on my mind atleast.

I rushed at her, I was suppose to seal her with Ice, but after that she puts her hands up in front of me.

And everything around me have gone dark, some of them are red streams, and I saw a big eyes that is glaring at me.

"What's that? Where am I? Who am I?"

Wait, what am I saying?

Huh, my right arm turned back to normal, then I got transported to another place, a village, I saw a little girl.

"You're weak, Alex."

After that, I used my full might to try and absorb everything around me using my right arm, even though I saw my right arm like normal, I did it anyways, because my head's getting hazy every second.

Everything shattered like glasses and warped to my right hand.

I was lying down on the ground?

But I was just standing back then?

The lady had a blade in her hand, I think she's about to kill me, but sorry I took your trick.

"Absorbed"

• Blue Bomb

• Steel Arm

• Lava Control

• Wind Manipulation

• Pyrokenesis

• Reality Manipulation

What?

She can bend reality, well, that's how she knock all those soldiers, with that illusions, and her blade came from her Reign too.

"What a nifty trick, Reality Reign." I said.

"So you're a Cyborg all along, but that won't save you again." She said.

"Who are you!?" I asked.

"That's not worth telling you!!" She said.

And her hand glow red, and a blast appeared, I tried using her Reign, if this can really control reality, then it can do anything.

Of course, I used Reality Reign to stop that blast, I commanded the Reign to stop that blast, is that how it works?

Her attack shattered.

"No way!!?" She said in shock.

"How'd you like that?" I said.

"How can you use my?..." She said and just realized it already.

She saw my right hand absorbed it, so she must've found out about it, she's smart.

"Damn, just where the hell did you came from!?" She asked.

"Hmm, from the sky." I said.

"Are you making fun of me?!" She asked.

Well I'm not lying, I fell from the lab, that's technically falling from the sky.

"Well let's end this." I said.

"So we think alike huh?" She said mockingly.

Well not really but.

I have to stop her, but I can't kill her, I will have to knock her unconscious.

"TAKE THIS!!" She said.

"I'll gladly!" I said.

I used the full power of Reality Reign and blasted the command to knock her asleep.

Her Reign shattered, is mine stronger?

But she's the original, does my Reign copy amplified everything I copy?

"What!!?" She said, surprised at what just unfolded, the attack hit her.

She got knocked unconscious, well that's that.

I have to write that down, my right hand can amplify any Reign it absorbs.

If that's the case then, I am really lucky I got this, thanks doctor Inium.

I walk to her side, I think I recognize her.

It's Rea Lily!!

She's the top model in Lanima Region.

How'd she get here, she must've got her Reign when she have a job in Dotun City.

I lift her up, and took her to the place where I kept every Reigner I saved back then, in my old, ruined apartment.

She's quite heavy despite the fact that I have super soldier serum and Cyborg arms.

While walking, tremor just started, and the area around me got shadowed, when I looked up, a flying beast just landed in a building and destroyed it.

It's huge, what the heck is it?!

And it landed near me after destroying a building, Damn, can I fight that?

I'm too small, no wait, I have multiple Reign, I can do this!!

I run towards it after I put Rea on the ground safely.

I used my ice Reign to blast it and get its attention, it hit, it looked at me.

Holy crap, I never seen anything so hideous before, it's like an eagle, bull and octopus at the same time, it's creepy.

It uses one of its tentacles and hits me with it, it's so powerful, Shockwave almost tear up another building.

"HEY HEY, DOTUN CITY IS A MESS ALREADY, AND YOU'RE ADDING ANOTHER!!" I shouted at it.

After that, of course, it attacked me, does it understand me?

It uses its feet to try stomping me, but I dodged it while using Wind Manipulation to maneuver around, it's easier to use it this way, I blast Wind Manipulation through my right leg.

After I had my ground I used Blue Bomb and blast it to the head, it was damaged, it screamed like a dying pig.

It used its head to poke me with its beak, of course, I dodged that, but the floor smashed to bits, and it sounded like a pure steel feel off of the ground 20 meters high.

I used my Ice Reign to slice its neck, it's shallow, it screamed even more, then I used my fire Reign to toast it, I think it might be easier to kill it that way.

I used Fire Manipulation to increase the heat of the fire Reign.

And it knocked over, I think it's dead.

This is really something inhumane, where did this come from?

Is this another of the effects of the Dotun Incident?

I felt another earthquake on the east, when I looked over, the earth rise up, that's where I put Miss Rea!

I need to hurry.

When I got there, I saw a very big earth golem, you normally see golem in game, but this is so real!!

The golem is about to hit me with its left arm.

I used my full might to try controlling it's earth body, it barely pushed back, The ground shattered, I was pushed back more than I pushed him.

I need to think quick, What are the earth's weakness?!!

Whatever!!

I'll use the Reality Reign to smash it.

"HAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" I shouted.

It's body cracked!

Did it work?

And it shattered in to a pile of rubble, the rubble scattered, and some of them are about to fall to us.

I need to hurry at Miss Rea's side to shield her, I can't let her die yet, at least not like this.

I used Reality Reign to block all the smashed rubble, everything shook.

Wew!!

That's tiring, the bird monster is fast and strong, while the golem is hard to crack.

But where did this monsters came from, it must've mutated all the animals and other things, Cosmic Energy, it's a scary element.

After I took a break, Miss Rea woke up.

"You took a good sleep." I enthusiastically said.

"Where am I!?" She said.

"Relax, we're still in Dotun City, only in District 13." I said.

(District is the Avenue of Dotun City, it's a bit bigger than a normal Highway)

She stood up on guard.

"Listen, I'm not fighting you, I'm too tired dealing with this guys." I said and pointed and the monsters' corpse.

"What in the hell are those!!?" She asked.

"Dunno, they just appeared out of nowhere, of course I fought back." I said.

"You protected me?" She asked.

"Well, yeah, your a model, I can't let you die here, plus..." While I said that she interrupted.

"I'm not a model anymore." She said.

"What? Why?" I asked.

"I don't intend on going back on those hellish job." She said.

"So you're in a rough spot back then too, huh?" I said.

"I don't wanna talk about it." She said.

"Hohoo." I mumbled.

Rea's POV

Damn it, out of all the things that could happen, this guy, came out of nowhere, he didn't just found out about my Reign, he also took my them, he absorbed it using his Cyborg arm, and might've copied it, but that kind of technology should've been made supposedly 10 years in the future, Reign is hard to analyse in the first place anyway.

Did someone predicted this, or they're just lucky in making this?

Anyways, now I'm not the only one who knows the full concept of my Reign, but also this guy too, and another thing, he's with me, in a destroyed building with only one way in and out, it's raining outside and it's night after all things, it'll be hard to see with or without flash light, so I can't just leave here, I can use my Reign to make one but,, there's no worst thing than having a cold, I can't play my games, can't watch an*me, can't read books, and more, I have to stay in the bed for weeks or worst months.

"What should I call you, btw?" He asked.

"Why would I answer that? Do whatever you want!" I said in spite.

"Well, if you're thinking that I'm going to be boasting about my Reigns, and also about your Reign, your mistaken, I don't do that sort of stuff, it's tiring, and also, it's embarrassing." He said while blushing.

Is he a girl or something, man up dude.

"Then what's your name, kid?" I asked.

"Now you're asking mine? And FYI I'm not a kid, I'm 28 now for crying out loud." He said.

"Well I can't just keep calling you that, so you had a nickname of your own?" I asked.

"Just Alex is fine." He said uneasily.

Well I can't just call him you, your, and it's more convenient to know this bastards name since he got my Reign, I will have to tell this to the others.

"So, your model days are this bad?" Alex asked.

Bad, not bad, worst, I never enjoyed that lifestyle, I was forced to do that by my mom, dad died when I was 12, I don't know him really well, my mom always pressures me, I never.....

I'm crying?

Please stop! I can't let him see this! This is humiliating enough!

"You know crying helps us relieve stress every now and then, you know?" Alex said.

"ShuD aPp!!" I shouted while still crying.

Alex POV

After my talk to Miss Rea, I lied on the ground to rest, Miss Rea did so too, we need to wait for this rain to stop, it's really coming down.

I can just use my Reality Reign but I don't know if I can right now, I'm a bit tired.

I thought of a way, for us Reigners to be useful, those monsters pop up after us, and other loves destroying structures, maybe if we help exterminate those things then...

"Hey, Alex." Miss Rea said, still not asleep.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Tell me more about yourself, you know me pretty well, since I'm a model." She said.

"What's this pep talk?" I asked.

"Oh shut up and answer!!" She yelled.

"There's really nothing so special about my life, I wake up, I go to work, I eat, I do my hobbies every now and then, I sleep, you could say that everything's pretty normal in my life." I said, I love telling this kind of things to people.

"Huh, that's pretty boring don't you think?" She asked.

"I didn't really mind though, I never really thought of doing something crazy, and I prefer that kind of lifestyle." I said.

"Is there anything eventful happened in you life?" She asked.

She's asking me a lot of things, I'll ask her lots later too.

"I never met my dad, my mom never really talked about it, and my mom died when I was 18, I don't have any other relatives that I know other than mom, no siblings, no cousin, no one, just me and my mom." I said.

She's looks pretty curious.

"Anyhow, in my work, in S-13 Branch, I was the Business Manager, I just got promoted right after all this Dotun City shenanigans happen, and that really annoy me, you know?" I said.

"So your life isn't normal, listen to me, you have no dad, no siblings or any blood relatives, you became a BM in your job, you live all by yourself, with no one to turn to, that's not normal." She said.

Yeah you're right, maybe I'm the normal one.

"You're curious about me, huh, did you perhaps, like me?" I asked in a joke way.

"HUH, WHO WOULD LIKE SOMEONE LIKE YOU, YOU BASTARD!!" She said in pure anger.

Yep, she don't like me.

"Well, anyways, how about you? Since you asked me a ton." I said.

"Hey it's nothing... like...." She said realizing she asked too much.

"Don't worry, I'll hear it all out, not like I laughed at situations like these." I said.

Of course she'll be flustered, but why though, is there something in her life that's more miserable than mine?

"I'm.... an.... Otaku." She said.

And I almost laugh.

"YOU BASTARD!! YOU SAID YOU NEVER LAUGHED AT THIS!!" She said.

"Sorry sorry, but that's not the reason why I laughed, AHEM!!' I said and looked serious again.

"You Bastard, anyhow, yes, I'm a full pledged Otaku, in all my life, I kept that hidden to my mom, I never once did tell anyone, other than Ayes and We...." She said and suddenly closed her mouth.

"Ayes?" I asked.

After that she gone back to sleep and never talked to me again.

There's definitely another guy she's talking about.

Anyways, so that'll be the true purpose for us, huh?

Became a fighter that fights those monsters, even though we're living in a modern Era, we still got a fictional monsters lurking around, and then there's us, Reigners.

If I have to do this, I have to make it right, I want to make a change in the world now, not before, but now, I'll tell this to those Lanima Officials, I'm not weak enough to be controlled by them, I now have my own power.

After I woke up in my sleep, Miss Rea's gone.
