Control (WITH SHORT VERSION)

Prologue
Of today’s standards, this event will happen in several years to come. It all started one summer’s eve when it was not quite dark, yet the light was slowly slipping into its uniform slumber. It was not long once the phenomena was discovered, a beautiful multicolored scar, as it were, sitting quite still in the sky. Clearly, the event was the most talked about topic around the world the following day.
Further analysis by the most advanced technology showed something completely unknown to all human kind (of course, this is quite common when dealing with space). The scientists confirmed that, whatever it was, it was exactly as described, a huge rip in what seemed the very sky. The rip, only visible during the night, was on constant surveillance. No conclusive or even creditable hypothesis was ever made.
Then, just like the sky, panic ripped throughout the entire world (thanks to media) as a new discovery was made. The rip was enlarging at a moderate rate as time went on, and not only this, but the rip was in orbit with the Earth, following its elliptical motion around the sun. Of course, not knowing a thing about the rip, being it dangerous, harmless, or whatever, the world made its duty solely upon the strange happening near the Earth.
After many satellites sent into the rip, and returning safely, it was decided that some brave humans were needed to perform tests on the strange spectrum. Seven astronauts were sent with their mission, and quivering knees into the cosmos, and ultimately, The Rip, for that is what it was titled. The shuttle reluctantly approached the multicolored array, and eventually immersed itself inside The Rip. The astronaut’s data revealed that The Rip was more of an expanding cloud that gave off multicolored light, and in short term, did not create any biological harm. One astronaut stated
“It was almost beautiful, like little shimmering stars of every color floating around weightlessly, and aimlessly.” The crew took a sample of the strange gas, and loaded it inside the ship. As the crew made its return trip, and landed safely, the scientists went about on testing the crew for absolutely every known disease, aliment, and virus.
During this multi-day checkup, The Rip (for its former misleading name stuck) went threw a “growth spurt”, and was doubling in size every other day. This, of course, caused mass hysteria throughout the world, as the inevitable was slowly consuming the Earth. All tests proved negative for the sample for being of any element, or group of elements, known to man. Nothing destroyed it, and it dissolved in nothing. As The Rip started to become visible also in daylight, all of humanity prayed to their various gods of various religions, and hoped for the best, but expected the worst. Scientists was baffled, and also prepared for the very worst, as the day slowly crept closer when the Earth would be touched by the alien gas.
When the day came, the gas did not aggressively consume the earth as imagination stated it would. It, in fact, came down almost in a mockingly rain. As if it enjoyed the mind-polluting torture, and that its whole existence was a jest. Because, as it hit the ground, or rather floated, and settled onto the ground, virtually nothing happened. The small particles shimmered on the ground for hours, the gas enveloped the world, and much if The Rip was inhaled by various creatures. The entire event of touching the Earth lasted for only one day, for the unknown material seemingly soaked into the ground, and soaked into the very life of all, and completely vanished before midnight. This day was named the Day of the Peaceful Rain. Fitting, of course, because what war would not halt for the very day The Rip touched Earth.

Of course, this is not the end of The Rip, oh no, only the very beginning, the very first cut of the tree. For, you see, The Rip indeed did do something to alter the outcome of society.
Firstly, the seven astronauts, after more testing, seemed to have altered DNA. And after that, their brain waves tended to turn a bit un-normal, but the astronauts seemed to think and perform perfectly fine. This entire information was kept classified until more tests and observations were done.
Several more days past, and the very first anomaly began. One of the astronauts noticed that a wide assortment of animals had a tendency to follow him around. “First,” he said, “it was dogs, then the next day, cats, and then after that a bunch of birds. If that wasn’t strange enough, I was at a horse race just yester day, and none of the horses obeyed their riders, but instead surrounded my area of the stands, neighing, and staring straight at me! Then, I realized that their thoughts invaded my mind, and I could tell them to leave me alone, and they listened!”
This strange ability was only limited to this one person… sort of. Another astronaut noticed that flames seemed to always burn towards him, and another, that water would actually follow her as if it lived. One other ability allowed the astronaut to control the growth of plants, growing them quickly as if they were vines, and then sending them back to their very seeds. Twisting, and turning the stems in every which way. And soon enough, everyone started noticing their abilities; each person’s more different than the next. Some very specific, like controlling one species of animal, to broad, like being able to control all animals (like previously stated).
These abilities were named “Controls”, and their users “Controllers.” The control ability did not halt at one generation; it was passed to their off spring, and their off spring’s off spring. Most of the time, it was control shared by one of the parents, and sometimes it was a completely new control no one knew about.
Many decades passed, and Control was just another part of life, until a great Controller came. His name was Rolland. What he controlled was, without a doubt, absolutely everything. It was only by slim luck of chance, he was responsible with the Ultimate Power, and did not go completely power-drunk, which was defiantly going to happen if he had not died. For, a sinister, evil, and jealous man was born with a very simple control. He could only control a person, one single person in the world. He had no idea who, where, or even why for that matter. He conspired against Rolland, and the Evil man named Claud created a conclave of people seeking the same thing, and in the end, through incredible trickery slew Rolland. With Rolland’s last breath, he cursed Claud, and anyone who ever closely acquainted him.

Claud, and his sect eventually realized if they had power to kill the Ultimate Controller, than they could easily control the entire world, and established their kingdom of fear which continues its rein, 400 years later. One controller that is under Claud’s wing is believed to control either age, or health, keeping the original sect still alive, this many years later.

((Just kinda extending this paragraph until people join.))

Zenall was sitting in a small living tree hut he had scupted himself. KeeRo was sitting a ways off, stairing at his own reflection in a small sink of water. Zenall had an apple in his hand, which had several bite marks in it. "It's good Claud's goons don't venture out into the forest often, eh KeeRo?" KeeRo nodded, half listening. his small hands clasped on the edge of the wooden sink, his face about five inches from the surface of the water. Zenall laughed, "What are you doing?"
The small creature replied, "I'm looking at my secret twin. He does absolutely everything I do!" KeeRo lifted one of his small hands, and his "twin" mimiced. "How does he know that!?"
Zenall laughed again, "That's your reflection, It's kind of like your shadow."
KeeRo took his gaze off the water. "Oh... Zenall, you're smart!"
Zenall smiled, "Thanks, KeeRo." Zenall stood up, and walked to the door of the small hut. "I'm going set up some defences, just in case, wanna come?"
KeeRo sprinted to the door, his small feet pattering strait toward the door. He slid about five feet, and stopped. "YES!!" Zenall controlled a dandilion (sp?) seed, and grew the seed to an incredible size, making the feathery flower at least seven feet tall. Both grabbed onto the stem, and jumped off the tree, decending like a feather 30 feet to the ground.
Zenall srunk the dandilion back into its protective shell, and tucked it into one of his various pockets. "Lets go, then."
Zenall walked around the area, randomly drawing tree roots from the ground, making many trip holes all around the small forest. Not far off was a small city, it wasn't one of the more up to date cities, so they actually kept a bit of forest. From this city, the capitol isn't much further. About an hour's drive or so. Zenall was hiding from the local police, being charged for some petty crime. Claud had created many laws, most rediculous, and so many people were being jailed for the most unheard of things. Zenall supposidly violated a new plant amount limit, and would be punished with a twenty-year sentence. But, insted of that, Zenall just decided to skip town. After all, he was more than capible to provide for himself.
KeeRo, his small compainion, was given to Zenall about seven years ago. Zenall's grandfather was a master plant-controller. He gave Zenall KeeRo right before he died. KeeRo never seemed to change his personality, from the first time he was created, until now, KeeRo was still acted like a naive four-year old.

Zenall extended his hand towards the ground, and brought up another tree root. "Probibly won't trip anyone, but it will definatly slow em down."
KeeRo tugged on Zenall's pant leg, and pointed toward their left. What KeeRo was signaling was a rustling noize comming from behinde a tree. Zenall tenced up, and then grabbed KeeRo, and held KeeRo behind his back, as a man approached, adorned in a police uniform.
The man was startled at the sight of Zenall, "Ah, hello civilian." The policeman flashed his badge. "I'm with the city's police department, we've had some reports of a criminal hiding in the forest here, have you seen anyone?"
Zenall shook his head, "Nope, no one."
The policeman looked unconvinced, "What about a small, knee height creature, green complextion, and a large stem comming out of his head?"
Zenall shook his head, "I think I'd remember seeing that." Zenall started to manipulate some of the plants on the ground, and grew them slowly towards the policeman
The policeman tapped his hand on his side, "Clearly... Sir, what's behind your back?"
Zenall blinked, and hesitated.
"Sir? What...is...behind...your back?"
KeeRo grabbed Zenall's coat, and then Zenall released KeeRo, and showed the policeman his empty hands. "Nothin."
The policeman frowned, "Sir, your acting very suspicious. I have no idea but to place you under--AUGH!"
Zenall reacted incredibly fast, extinding his hands toward the ground, and the plants around the man in uniform shot around his feet. The policeman was suddenly hoisted into the air, and was now dangling upside-down. KeeRo jumped off Zenall's back, "Hahah! You got him!" Zenall nodded, and proceeded to wrap the man's hands.
"Why you dirty little forest urchin, you piece of mutilated trash, you son of a--" Zenall stuffed the man's mouth with plant matter, and left him hanging in a tree. He grabbed the man's two-way communicater, and smashed it, setting of a signal so his "buddies" could find the man later. Zenall walked off, to inspect the rest of the forest.

A boy of about seventeen walked into a hardware store. The man behind the counter looked up.

"HEEEEEEY! Maki! What's up my friend? Come to buy more 'ammo' eh?"

"Yeah I need about five hundred feet of wire today. I'm running pretty low."

"You know, I really like you! You give me so much business!" the man chirped as he handed over two spools of wire.

"Yeah, yeah," Maki replied as he took them from the man's hands. BANG! The door was flung open and three policemen came in. They had their guns drawn.

"Hey you punk!" one shouted angrily, "You're gonna pay for that shit you did earlier at the bar!"

"What shit, what bar?" Maki innocently replied.

"Don't screw with us! You know exactly what you did!" the cop yelled as he steadied his aim. Unbeknownst to him though, Maki had already laid a trap in wait for them. Right when the cops steadied their aim and were about to fire, Maki tightened his fists.

"Hey, hey. Don't shoot up the place! I mean seriously, this guy has nothing to do with us," Maki pleaded.

"Shut up! You die, NOW!" the cop yelled.

"Quite the contrary my good sir..." Maki mumbled as he made drastic, swift movements with his arms. The policemen's bodies tightened and twisted in ways the human bodie should not. A horrendous dance the men danced until finally their bodies split apart and they clump to the floor in pieces.

Zenall manipulated some vines on the forest floor. They lifted him up onto a large tree. Zenall then made the bark secure his feet as he surveyed the forest. The city was easily seen, mostly red and blue lights flashing upon various buildings. There were some scavenger birds circling an almost dead animal off to the left.

KeeRo was climbing up the tree fairly fast, and soon reached Zenall's height. "Ooooo, all the colors." He was refering to the police lights.

Zenall nodded, "Most likely stupid things, just like my conviction." The birds to the left started to decend to the ground, fighting each other to get there first. Some police officer's car could be seen at the edge of the forest, probibly seeking out the officer currently upside down on a tree.

Maki searched through the remains and made a face of dismay. "I cut up their cash! DAMN!" he woed. Maki stood back up and walked over to the counter. "Soooooo... How much is this wire gonna cost me?"

"Well for the dead bodies strewn on my floor," the shop keeper began.

"What bodies?" Maki asked innocently.

"I'm not blind boy! It'll be $500!" the man exclaimed.

"That's it?" Maki asked, "Fine, here's your money." Maki swiftly grabbed the wire and left $500 on the counter in their place. He briskly walked out the door.

"Hey wait! You have more!?" the man cried as Maki left.

"Hmph, what a loon!" Maki laughed. He continued walking down the street, never letting his guard down. For in this hell, you never know what might happen. He turned the corner and looked up. He quickly turned around and ran into a nearby alley. A patrol car turned the corner and could be seen where Maki was hiding. It stopped for a moment and the driver's window began to roll down. Maki could see a flashlight coming out of the window.

S-shit, they're gonna find me! Maki thought sweat dripping down the side of his face. Maki could hear voices coming from the cars radio. Please make them leave, oh please make them fuckin' leave! To his delight, the car quickly sped off towards the direction of the forest. Maki dusted himself off, and headed back to his home. Well, not his home, but his friend's.



A man of about 21 was slouching in a recliner at his home. He wore baggy clothes and a baseball cap. His hair slopped down beyond his shoulders. He began to snore loudly.

"KENNY SHUT UP DAMN IT!" a female voice yelled, awaking Kenny from his slumber.

"Geez, can't I sleep in my own house!?" Kenny cried, "Honestly Kara, why are you even here!?" He drowsily rose from his recliner. And it was such a good dream too... As he walked past the front door he heard feet hitting pavement. Someone was running pretty hard, and it was getting louder... And he knew why. "OH SHI-!!!"

"KI-YAH BIIIITCH!!!!" Maki yelled as he kicked down the door, breaking it off its hinges. Kara walked out from the back.

"WHAT THE HELL MAKI!?" she fumed, "WE'RE TIRED OF BUYING MORE DOORS!!!" She pulled out a rod and started swinging at Maki. "I'm tired of your damn antics!"

"Why are you acting so old... You're 19!" Maki laughed, dodging the swipes. At this remark, Kara swung faster. "Ow, o-OW! S-stop! OUCH!" Maki cried out in pain, "Why are you even here?"

"I let myself in, Kenny was sleeping, with the door unlocked..." Kara said with a few gasps inbetween. "I'm going back into the garage. I need to finish my work." Kara walked away from them.

Chicago

Ashi stood at the open door of the destroyed home and began absorbing the metal from the hinges and other remnants of the home. He had just finished demolishing the populated city when They came back.

"Damnit, why can't They just die when I bury them . . .", Ashi hissed. Four building sized wolves walked out of the cluster of highrises and started coming his way.
"Here you go little guys . . ."
Eight metal spike jutted from the ground and pierced the monsters just as they were about to find him. "Go and get to the others, tell them that They have tracked me down again . . ."

A little boy no more than 7 years of age nodded and ran with ridiculous speed north to the mountains. Then, without a second of hesitation, Ashi threw a knife to his right that split like it was cloned in mid air, killing the final wolf.

Ashi pulled out a scroll of paper and crossed an X over a name. There were many more like it and many more other without their names crossed. After, he ran with an even more enourmous speed twords the direction of the boy.
Chicago

Maki was lounging on the sofa while Kenny was drifting asleep in his recliner. Maki would be watching TV but Kenny misplaced the remote and doesn't remember where it was. Instead of searching for it, Maki had painstakingly brought out some books. But these weren't normal books. These were books made 400 yeaars ago, before the appearance of "The Rip." What Maki was currently reading was manga. Manga was difficult to find nowadays, what with Japan in its current state. So Maki cherished them. He was currently reading a manga called Air Gear. Kara walked into the kitchen and got something to drink. She was covered in sweat and had some grime on her face.

"Hey, Kara, have you ever noticed that Kenny looks like Sora from Air Gear?" Maki asked.

"What? The hell's Air Gear?" she replied.

"It's one of my mangas," Maki replied curtly. He stood up. "Hey, what are you making now?"

"Oh I was about to get you. Come see!" she said excitedly.

Maki followed her into the garage and stood as she fumbled around her work area. She pulled out a bulky object of about two feet length. She handed it to Maki and smiled.

"Open it!" she told him.

Maki opened the package. Inside was a dagger with what looked like a gun barrel. "NO WAY!!" Maki yelled, "IS THIS A PISTOL-KNIFE?!"

"Yes!" Kara answered excitedly, "It shoots .45 caliber bullets!"

"This is so awesome! Thanks Kara!" Maki said, "First you gave me the wire gloves, and now... THIS! You're awesome!" Maki then walked to a door in the garage that had "Firing Range" written on it. He walked through it.

Rhode Island

"Come on Sai, we are almost there." Ashi wispered.

Sai, the mysterious 8 year old boy ran forward and caught up with Ashi. The two narrowed in on a small house in the middle of the wooded area.

"Are we stocking up for the trip?" the small boy asked in excitement.

"I am stocking up for the trip, you have had enough of Them for a few years . . ."

"But I can h-" Before the boy could finish his scentence, Ashi sealed him in the small house.

"I guess it is time to finish off the east coast . . ." Ashi thought to himself. With that he melted into the ground. About 200 miles away, he apeared and ignited the fire that would start his reign over the sinful creatures known as humans.

Ashi blew up a fourth of the state with his military grade explosives he had aquired from his old masters house.

"I guess no more explosives this week!" Ashi barked in sheer joy. He then went about sending tiny pen tip sized needles raining on the state, killing millions of innocents.

His vantage point was perfect, he could see everything and stay away from the dangers of assassins and demons. Or at least, that is what they called themselves, they were just Humans with simple powers.

Lastly, Ashi sent a shockwave of liquidized metal slamming into the remnants of the homes that were now vacant.

A sadistic smile crept over the monsters face.




Rhode Island

Zenall sat down lazily on a branch that was thickened through his control. KeeRo hummed lightly to himself as Zenall overlooked the forest and city. He jumped off after he was sure the police officer was far in the forest. He grabbed a poisen ivy seed, and manipulated it to spread across the entire interior of the car. He grew another ivy seed from the plant and stuck it into his pocket before walking into the city. He pulled his hat low over his head, just to make sure no one would recignize him. He was running low on ungrowable products, so he made his way to the nearest convienance store. KeeRo was trotting on quickly behind Zenall, playing some small game on the sidewalk.

Maki walked back into the garage. Kara had fallen asleep at her workstation. Maki sighed and walked outside. He needed to buy some bullets for his pistol-gun He had used up all of his bullets at the range. He was walking briskly towards the edge of town. There was a convience store a short ways from the forest. Maki couldn't go to the same store before because the man would overcharge him. As the store came into sight, a man wearing a cap and being followed by a peculiar creature.

What the...

Zenall walked through the automatic doors as a small chime echoed throughout the nearly decolate store. KeeRo ran into the nearest isle, and started stairing at the various lables. Zenall laughed silently to himself as he turned down a different lane. KeeRo quickly noticed, and darted after Zenall. "Can we get these or those how about those? Please? Aw common! At least get these!"

Zenall shook his head and chuckled again, "No, we only need the necesities. I really don't feel like carrying them all the way back-- and before you say you will, no, you will not carry them."

"Aw common! I haven't had one of those in ages!" He pointed to a commonly advertised candy. Zenall simply shook his head, and grabbed another item off the shelf: some toothpaiste. KeeRo gave up, but it did not dampen his spirit much. They continued around the store for a little while longer.

Ashi walked out of the destroyed town with a huge smile. He had finally done it . . . Rhode Island had to be the hardest to take down since it had become a war ridden town years previously.

While Ashi was wandering through the town admiring his work he noticed a woman who looked to be in her later teens or early twenties. "Girl, who are you to withstand an attack like th-"

Just then the girl lept up and round house kicked Ashi is the chest, sending him spiraling into a remnant of a home. Just before he hit the house he sent out his liquid metal which wound its way around the girls leg, hardening itself into a cord. Right when Ashi hit the house he dragged the girl in by the cord, slamming her into a separate home.

Ashi quickly jumped into the dust, camouflaging himself from the girl, waiting, watching. All of a sudden, the girl jumped out and put Ashi in a choke hold. "Girl, if you do not let go of me . . . I will kill you."

Ashi then let the metal ooze out of his body and onto the girl, hardening it upon touch. He then proceeded to run the oposite direction of the mountains, the same place where Sai now resided. He had to make sure she was dead before he could meet his son again.

Maki followed the man into the store, staring at his creature.

JUST WHAT IS THAT? Some sort of control? It looks plant-like...

Maki walked towards the back of the store to a vending machine. This one though, gave out bullets! Maki paid for his bullets and turned to leave... He heard a shutter...

"SHIT!" Maki cried in dismay, "I forgot those things take your damn picture! My head's probably in their databases so they'll be coming here so-" Maki was cut off by a bang.

Zenall's head quickly turned to a large banging sound. It sounded like it came from the front of the store. "Lets see what exactly is going on, eh, KeeRo?"

KeeRo saluted Zenall, "Yes sir!" They sprinted together to the front of the store after placing the shopping basket of goods on an abandoned isle that Zenall made sure to remember. Once they reached their destination, they looked around for the source of the comotion.

Outside of the store were two squadcars, four policemen, and a man with two Mac-10s. The sound was an explosion from a grenade that was thrown. The man began to fire at the policemen, who were positioned in front of the glass storefront.

"That asshole!" Maki yelled angrily, "Doesn't he care?!"

Maki quickly ran to a point between the man with his creature and the shop clerk. He grunted and set up a magnetic field that would repel the bullets away from them. It worked, but the bullets ended up flying at the cops, who thinking it a surprise attack, now considered these people in the convienence store accomplices.

Ashi was running all the while thinking about how to beat the girl. How did she have the strength to not only throw him into a wall but pull his arm out of it's socket as well. That took power, control power.

"Why are you running, are you at the point where you know i am too strong?" the girl screamed.

He was trying to think of how he could possibly win, he had just used a majority of power controlling all of the pins and his wave of metal. He only had one choice, he felt sorry for what the girl would have to go through.

Ashi then stood solid as stone setting himself up for his final attack. A large beam about 50 feet in diameter jutted out of the ground under Ashis feet sending him into the air. The metal proceeded to rise up with him until it was about 20 feet tall. He then jumped, while splitting the cylinder into 5 separate beams, these he threw, caging the girl.

"You messed with me at the wrong point in time . . ." he wispered. "too bad i won't get to learn your name." That is when all of the beams sprouted spikes, stabbing the girl. And finally, with the last bit of his energy, he merged with the ground, slowly sending himself to the cabin in the mountains, in which he collapsed.

Zenall smiled, hmm... some sort of metal control, or perhapse magnetism? Ah. It could be gravity, too I suppose. "Try NOT getting a bigger bounty on my head," he barked. Glass shattered as several bullets were exchanged. Zenall quickly grabbed some thick-growing vines, and started to contort them towards the armed man. The vine silently wrapped itself around the man's leg, then thrusted him backwards, making the man fall face first on the ground.

KeeRo laughed, "YEA! Good job!" KeeRo ran towards the man, and stood ontop of him, holding both hands down with rediculous strength.

"Hey, would you rather be dead?" Maki asked accusatively. Whoa! A plant-type eh? It figures... Maki grunted. He wasn't used to making this big of a field. He gathered most of his strength and sent his wall of magnetism foward, flipping the squad cars and tossing all metal objects aside. Maki slumped against a shelf in one of the aisles. "D-damn... this ain't good... I'm gonna... fa-" Maki muttered as he slumped to the ground.

Zenall caught the man, and lowered him to the ground, before turning to the cops, "Sorry about the bullets, they went the wrong way. We have the bad guy, though." Zenall pointed to the man, subdued under KeeRo.

KeeRo piped, "~I Got him down and out!!~"

Zenall got very nervous, as if the cops had a voice sample, and could match his voice to a previous recording at that very moment. "So... I'll just help this fainted guy here, and leave..." Zenall created more vines to carry the strange man, and hoisted him comfortably out of the store. "Common, KeeRo" The creature saluted, and followed Zenall right behind.
