Humanity (Final)

“Disgusting” 

I stated, glaring down to the bustling metropolis below me. The wind blew ferocious and unforgiving, causing my cobalt coloured hair to whip around my face viciously. A strange sight being the middle of a Tokyo summer, not surprising to me in the least though, not thanks to them. Mother Nature is angry, forcing her wrath upon us, punishing us all for the cruelty they have shown her. Cutting her down, crushing her beneath them, poisoning her air and building on top of her all for their own selfish wants and needs. Their civilisations only got bigger and more spacious as they bred like the cockroaches that they are… no, that’s insulting to the cockroaches. The Skyscraper I sat on for example, is something so obnoxiously big necessary for survival? What an abomination, a complete and utter waste of space, a fitting description I think, one that mirrors that of its creator. Hah, I could destroy it now. Transforming this mass of man-made material into dust and rubble, returning this place to the way it once was, hopefully killing a few of them in the process.

“Humans, a useless existence”

Humanity, a stain on the world Master Hao wishes to create, one I will help him create. A world free of humans and their self-indulgent natures. An untainted world, a Shaman only kingdom. We Shaman are people that have the ability to communicate with spirits and utilize their power to fight with. Humans once viewed Shaman as saviours; they relied on my people and viewed them like they were a faction of gods. Though there are a few weaklings among us we are the superior race, far superior to that of the human race, if you can even call them a race. More like a parasite, feeding of the nutrients off the world, sucking one area dry and then moving on to the next. Pitiful. 

Many years ago, Master Hao was one of their saviours, his power great and his generosity knew no bounds. Unfortunately, those unthankful humans didn’t see it that way. Their negative and egotistical dispositions have forced him to the conclusion of complete and utter genocide. Why not rid them now? Well this we will accomplish through the Shaman King tournament, once Master Hao is victorious he will become Shaman King and will purge the world in one fell swoop, creating a perfect world instantly. He has handpicked the ones that will be able to join him in this world, me being one of them; he has no room among him for weak beings.

Gazing up into the sky I noticed a full moon, its glare was bright and bore into me, it was almost painful. Not something I particularly wished to look at right now; being worn out from the shamanistic battles I took part in today.

The wind had died down slightly; I took this chance to light a cigarette and take a long awaited drag. The weather around this area lately had greatly prevented me from partaking in my unhealthy habit, something that could be considered a good thing if it weren’t for the fact that the smoke from my cigarette was the medium used to summon my spirit; Ashcroft. I looked down at the stick of tobacco I held in my hand and stifled a chuckle.

(Ashcroft)

“Those good for nothing humans managed to create something of use to me after all”


Not that this gained them anymore favour from me. One small act of practicality for me does little to overshadow all the other atrocities they have caused.

“Kanna”

I whipped my head around startled by the sudden call of my name, ready to unleash Ashcroft if need be, only to be faced by my saviour. The man I would follow to the ends of the earth and back. I knelt on one knee in front of him.

“Master Hao, you caught me off guard”

“I trust you passed the preliminary rounds with no trouble”

“Of course Master Hao, I won’t allow weaklings to get in the way of your perfect world”

He gave a small smile, and turned to leave.

“The rest of your team are waiting for you. Do not brood over the humans for too long, they won’t be among us for much longer”

With that he left, seemingly disappearing into thin air. 

“Yes… Master Hao”

Standing up straight, I stretched my tired and worn out muscles, it’s definitely been a long day. I sighed and stubbed out my cigarette against the skyscraper, leaving a small scorch mark on the metal. I took one last breath of fresh air, before descending down into a dark alleyway nearby. Riddled with homeless humans it reeked of week old garbage and urine, I feel sorry for the stray animals having to share such an enclosed space with such revolting creatures. Ugh, suddenly that huge hunk of metal is looking like paradise, the air is cleaner up there, full of pollution it may be but at least the stench of humans is almost unnoticeable at such a height. What a headache these humans are, I lit up another cigarette to ease growing nausea in my stomach.

Out of the corner of my eye I noticed one of the dirty little beggars eyeballing me, if he enjoys having eyes he’ll look away before I gauge them out. His eyes travelled down to the packet of cigarettes I still held in my hand, If he enjoys having a tongue he won’t ask for one either. He smiled wide, revealing infected looking gums and one rotting tooth, why he thought I would want to see something like this is beyond me. The human must’ve been in his late 80’s at least, old, decrepit, homeless and… smiling? I scoffed at him; this human and his confusing actions need not worry me. Walking out of the alleyway I heard him call;

“You shouldn’t be smoking young lady; it could damage your chances for children later on in life”

The arrogance! How dare this human comment on my life choices, what hypocrisy! As if you humans have any right to tell others what they should and shouldn’t do. I did nothing but glare at the insignificant old man, no need to act on such cheek, if old age or sickness doesn’t get to him first, Master Hao surely will. I smirked and looked back at the old man…

I hope for the later.
