The Apocalyptic Ending for a New Greater Beginning: Part 2

***

Part 2

Left alone inside the huge chamber, Armada feels extremely lonely. Although he was quite used to it. Before he joins the guild he was a solitary predator and do everything by himself. He joined the guild when Rastenberg and his team stumble upon him when he was sleeping inside a huge cave. It was quite brave of Rastenberg to approach him that time considering Armada is in his dragon form.

Before joining them, he questions first the benefit of joining the guild. Seeing that it will probably benefit them more instead of him considering his strength and capabilities, they will probably decide to use him. Of course, during that time he views the humanoid creature as a selfish and greedy creature. However, after joining them till now his view of humanoids change drastically. But, some aspects of them previously he thought such as selfish and greedy justify from some of the member’s actions. But he decided to let it be considering he sometimes also like that.

Perhaps even worse than them sometimes.

“Haaaa. What a time for the end of the world. Hmm.” Armada glance behind him. Directly behind him, there is a single glass cabinet. Contain within it is the symbol of Leaders 101. Known as the Sceptre of Leaders 101.

It is a guild weapon design and builds by the guild. Numerous ultra-high quality items need to make this thing. The sceptre is silver-gold with numerous marks on it with a tip that resembles the 101 sign. Its power is comparable to some of the most powerful items in CTMH known as the Global Class Item. The sceptre is floating magically inside the glass cabinet. Constantly rotating clockwise.

He stares at the sceptre for a bit then decided to open the cabinet by using his magic. He then made a grasping motion using his right hand and immediately the sceptre reach for his hand. He grabs the sceptre, looking at it. At a certain time, the sceptre produces small fireworks like effect from the tip of it. “It took time and effort just to make you. At first, I question the reason behind doing this project but in the end, it was worth it.” He saying that to no one but himself.

Then he pays his attention to the room. No one is there except him. The rest of the guild is already assembling at the throne hall. “Well, I believe I should get moving. Let’s go will you.” He’s speaking to the sceptre. Although the sceptre is not a living being when in battle the sceptre can be program to automatically engage its enemy. It will share a mental bond with its user.

Armada began to stand up from his seat. However just as he standing up, his Future Vision kicks in. Future Vision is one of the Galaxy Class Threats ability to see the future. The probability of the future they see will happen is almost a hundred percent correct. When Future Vision happens it will give the individual multiple glimpses of what is going to happen.

What Armada sees right now is the image of himself looking down upon two human girls and possibly two hostile knights behind her? Then it skips to another scene where he and some of his guild members are inside a house discussing something with someone to be in charge of a village. Then it skips to another scene where he greets someone that looks like an honourable warrior of some country inside the village. Then to the next scene where he fought against a group of unknown people. The group constantly cast attack magic upon him but it doesn’t affect him at all. Then he saw a scene where he saw himself spreading his arms and his three pairs of magnificent wings and a sadistic smile appear on his face when he facing his enemies. The final scene that he saw is that he’s currently sitting at his throne at the Throne Hall where almost all of the Residents are present including the guild members. The Residents are kneeling and his guild members were saluting at him.

After that, the Future Vision end. He sits back on his seat with a heavy ‘bam’ sound. His left hand right now is massaging his temple. He seemingly confuses and feels weird about it. “Huh? What was that scene just now? Could it be…its impossible is it?” Of course, it seems impossible at first. That wasn’t the vision of my imagination. Was it? The thing about Future Vision is that it only can see the reality that is going to happen. Not an imagination. Then as if to answer his question and doubt about what he just saw, a voice speaks inside his head.

My dear eldest dragon of all. “Huh?” Upon realizing who it was that is speaking inside his head, Armada immediately straightens up his posture and release the sceptre from his grasp. The sceptre just floating beside him. What you have seen with your eyes is not an imagination or anything else besides reality itself. I have shown you the path of what is going to happen soon. Spread the good news to the rest of your companion for glory awaits them all and for I am the all-giving. However, you will not be the first one there. After that, the voice disappeared as if he never heard it but he heard it.

Armada takes a very deep breath after that. “Haaa. That was so sudden. So the vision that I saw just now is going to happen. What about the apocalypse? Does this apocalypse only happen in CTMH and not in another universe?” Armada leans back a bit at his grand chair and starts thinking with his right hand cup his chin. If that is the case, then there is no need to fear the incoming oblivion. Hmm. What I saw just now was basically a scene from a different world. None of the four worlds has that kind of place. Then he started to recall back what The Almighty One just told him. From what The Almighty One just said to me, we will not be the first one there. Hmm. We need to be cautious. Who knows what might happen.

He didn’t have to guess what might happen actually considering what he already saw. But the reason why he thinks that way is because he can’t see beyond what the Future Vision gave to him. People who didn’t know how Future Vision work might say Just activate it again to see further. But that skills didn’t work that way.

Future Vision is a passive skill and not an active skill. Meaning that it will activate on its own at a random time. Some passive skills can be control to a certain extent but not Future Vision. Even Galaxy Class Threats can’t control it. That’s why he needs to be cautious.

An accident happens before. Can’t let that happen again. He certainly can’t. Well, he did say that but sometimes it happens again.

“Since the end is not near yet, looks like our reunion has to postpone, my dear.” He said that in a sad tone.

“Well anyway, I got to give the boys the good news. It's bad keeping all of them wait for long.” After saying that Armada grabs the sceptre beside him and stand up and walk towards the door. Then, something comes up in his mind. Should I also tell mother? Maybe later.

Before he pushes open the door, he turns to look back at the chamber. Besides the glass cabinet that is used to store the sceptre, they were other glass cabinets too inside the chamber. Inside it was numerous models of weapons of war. Such example is super-battleships, battleships, super-dreadnought, dreadnought, aircraft carriers, panzers or tanks, large field artilleries, Zeppelins, jet fighters and many more. They were model only but that doesn’t mean the guild doesn’t have those in the arsenal. In fact, those weapons of war that was built by humans were ancient in Armada’s view. Leaders 101 has a much better weapon albeit futuristic in the arsenal. Just because these weapons were ancient doesn’t mean they are not dangerous.

“This is not our last. This is just the beginning.” Then he turns towards the door with his cape flapping. He also noticed that someone was waiting outside. I wonder who.

He pushes open the door and look to his left. A lone person is leaning against the wall with his arms cross. He looks directly at Armada. At his waist, they were two swords like weapon hanging there and some other weapons too. The two swords like weapons were actually Keris. A legendary weapon of old. This weapon belongs to this man. Armada knew well what it’s capable of.

“Took you a while, Blitz. I was getting sleepy waiting for you.” Hearing that Armada just chuckled. Due to his height, Armada has to look right down at this person to speak to him. While for this person, he has to look up to Armada. Due to Armada's height, almost every guild members have to do that. Only a few can look at him eye to eye.

“Hahaha. You don’t have to wait for me Sultan Nizam. Hmm. I’m seeing and sense only you here.”

“I decided to wait for you alone. I realized that you took more time than usual. Something’s up right or perhaps you just saw something.”

Armada just smiles hearing that. Sultan Nizam is among the few members that are quite perceptive when the topic is about Armada.

“As perceptive as always are you. So they just let you wait here?”

“Not really, considering Reichenau just now wanted to leave some Schutzstaffel SS here to escort you. I said to him you don’t need to but he said he feared there might be hidden intruders.”

“What intruders in this kind of time and we deep below underground with multiple layers of defence floor above our head. No intruder can get here.”

“How the irony. I just said the same thing to him the same way you said to me just now. He finally said ‘fine’ and left. However, he left a few Schutzstaffel SS to guard the door of the throne hall.”

“Is that so? It’s good for him to be cautious but too much cautious can make one paranoid.” Sultan Nizam only replies with “I agree”.

“Well anyway, you are right about something. To be honest, my Future Vision activated.”

Sultan Nizam face has a somewhat surprised expression and then his face brightens a bit.

“Really!? What did you saw? Judging from your tone is a good one I believe.”

Armada did not immediately answer him. Instead, he just looks around then he answered. “How about we talk about it while walking to the Throne Hall. Shall we?”

Sultan Nizam agreed. With that, they make their way towards the Throne Hall by walking through the wide hallway. While walking beside Armada, he feels like walking beside a giant due to Armada size.
