Chapter#3: Requiem of Forgiveness
" I don't know what you want with me, but it's not going well for you, if you stay here anymore than my patience, and just to let you know, I don't have much. So you better get out of here right now." Garbo still has his staff out, giving one more warning before he's about to kill them both with no mercy. He's much taller than he was in his memory, about 5 foot 6, his hands were bigger in bone stronger, and still has the scar on his right side of his cheek, from the slash. His anger began to surface, meaning that he's serious about what he said.
"Oh Eliza, I think we should leave right now. I'm sure he's going to kill us if we stay here much longer." Ed was scared that this guy was more dangerous than they give him credit for. The two alien siblings were staring at the psycho kid, as he looks at them and analyze him for something that they might not have seen in him before.
"You know, I don't know why I ask, but you look like faces that had gone through suffering through some degree. I hate your kind that's just like me. It makes me sick to know that there are those who are like me and yet they find ways to find peace through the horrible time they'd suffered as though it's nothing to them. I find it detestable." Garbo just hated the idea of others like him, who don't know what real pain is.
"What're you coming at us with this? You think that you could just be like that and somehow just try to act as though your the victim. We'd suffered as well, but that's still no excuse of getting mad at us for it..."
" Don't make me laugh; you'd haven't never seen your parents being carried around like corpses and bodies floating the stairway for the sake of the blood thirst and brutality." Garbo had such anger for those who had done him wrong in the past.
"You don't mean..."
"Yes, I killed those bastards, for revenge. I found it to be essential at my age. I thought it was okay at first, until then..." Garbo then started to reflect on the aftermath of the event, where he was still five, still dramatized and wounded both physically and psychology. He stood there and started to cry more.
"It's okay little boy. You don't have to see this anymore. Let's get you out of here. We'll send you to a loving family immediately, one that'll take care of you..." Kelly was grabbing his hand, as he took out of hers, beginning to remember something with anger and haste.
"Argh..." Garbo started to recall something that he's hated before.

"Life what hell expects it to be. Remember that in the formal gates of hell of course." The dying man said, before falling over. They were carrying the parents' dead body from the stairs all the way to a coffin, enriched with softening so that their bodies are carried back with honor and pride, while the brother's bodies are carried in total plastic. Seeing this made Garbo's anger and ki rise even more. Angered that this has happened to him so suddenly and quickly right before his eyes.
" I see how, that people truly are indeed evil now. I see that this is what they really are in the inside." He was greatly angered by seeing this.
"Now calm down, no need to get angry. We understand your pain, little boy..."
"Shut up!! No you don't!! No, you-don't!!" Garbo's monstrous ki went up again and suddenly started to transfer the ki all the way back to his staff and he began to act quickly as he blew up a piece of the house, along with everyone in that area along with it.
"Huh?" Garbo came to concious only to see that he's about killed everyone who tried to help him.
"What-what have I done?" Garbo said, while crying at the same time; thinking that he's a horrible person for doing what he did. His mind started to think differently about himself, believing that he's become a monster and now people will begin to hate him now.
"I'm-a-monster-now..." Suddenly, he felt his heart begin to harden and suddenly shift into hardness; feeling cold and ruthless about anyone that would stand in his way.
***
"From this day forward, I shall hate all humans and do what I can to destroy them all with this power that I have created all on my own." Garbo began to see the dark way he was going, and decided to use this power he was given to do the one thing he's waited to do: destroy the human race.
"And that's what I'd been doing this whole entire time, making sure that humanity shall see towards it's end, for what they'd done to my parents, to my family, and to those that were close to me." Garbo smirked, thinking this is all what he's suppose to do.
"..." Ed scared, but...
"You should be so ashamed of yourself! Using your power to hurt mankind instead of help it! You'd disgust me! How can you call yourself a man if that's all you do? Just because your-hurt. Many people are hurt, but they don't take their revenge on anyone that did anything to anybody." Eliza's words were beginning to stir Garbo's anger, he didn't want to hear anymore of Eliza's words anymore.
"Okay, I was gong to make it easy for the both of you, but now you'd officially pushed me for the last time!! Prepare to die!!" Garbo's anger began to rise, as he was armed and ready to kill them both now, for they said about him.
"Oh crap. Way to go, instead of having him on our side, he's going to kill us. Was that your plan?"
"Ed shut up for a minute and focus up ahead. There's an opening to his attack. I can sense it well." Eliza knew that she could win this fight, with Ed's help.
"Ed, I want you to fight wiht me."
"What?! Have you gone stupid for some reason?! What in the world would make you think of a stupid situation like this as of right now?!"
"Ed! Fight-with-me..."
"..."
"I know that there's an opening to his attack, we'd just now got to attack him with everything that we got, and hit him in the weak spot since he's too blinded by anger. Let's show him a different route of course."
"Eliza, for once I'll just go with you on this one." both the siblings attack the ball that was coming their way, as they used their reflective shield, and somehow deflected the attack right back at him.
"Ack!" He was hit back from the attack that was given at him.
"No...how-did-I-fail-like-this?" He was so confused; he didn't know how in the world did he lose so easily. He hit the floor real hard, as he didn't have time to get back up from the impact.
"No...how did this happen to me? How?" Garbo so confused, he didn't know where to start on his failure.
"Here, I believe that you should take a good look at this, this maybe able to clear up that head of yours..." Eliza showed the stone right at him, as it started to shine brightly in his face.
"Argh, damn that's bright." Ed was brighten up by the technique that flashed at the both of them.
***
"What? What? Where am I?" He was so confused, he was looking around to see if there anything that he could recognize anywhere. He turned his attention to see that his parents were right there in his face, in the background was a strange knight that looked only like a shadow, which is to forshadow the future he'll play if he were to repent for his sins and become what he was expected to be.
"What is this place?" He was confused as to scared.
"This is heaven. Were here to help you and guide you to your future role of course son..." They smiled knowing that this is what they'd wanted for their son.
"Why am I here?"
"Fate has chosen you to become the great leader these people need in order to guide the world to the light..."
"But I don't understand? Why me? I'd done such horrible things to people; I'm so lost that I don't know if I'm really for this..."
"You'd been chosen for a great reason. I'm sure that in time, you'll find your identity and become what you were destined to be. Now go my son, please help these good people while we smile down on you, our son..." Mike said, happy to know that his son has seen the errors of his ways and now what to do.
"Alright, I understand..."
" Just remember, we love you son and we'll always watch over you. Now-go our son...you'd-must-find-yourself..." They said, as the flash suddenly ended, with him finally out of the trance.
***
"..." He looked around to see that he was back at his house, but has a feeling to come with them.
"So will you help us young warrior?" Eliza asked of the offer.
"..."
"Huh?"
"I will do what I must."
"Great, glad to know that it well." Ed said, while Eliza didn't believe him
"Now that we'd got you, we should get on to finding the next one. I'd say it's not too far away from here, if we go from where we are now, we should be able to find them by nighttime." Eliza said happily.
"Well then, I'd say let's get going then. Times a wasting." Garbo smiled some, trying his best to change his view and become what they expect to be. Even though he doesn't know himself all too well.
"Let's-go then." The siblings and Garbo left out of the house, as Garbo carried a backpack with clothes and stuff in it.
"..." As they went outside, Garbo stood for a while and smiled some, happy that his parents are in a better place right now.
"Thank-you..." Garbo went along with them, as the ghosts started to appear in front of the house, smiling that their son is finally beginning down the road to his destiny.
"Good luck son." They disappeared, as they went on to find the next "Forbidden" chosen one. Much to their suprise, he/she isn't too far away.
