I watch the screen while listening to the spider’s words. They don’t really make sense. Drones beating someone in a fight. That could never happen. I watch as the drone finally catches up to Elder Leo. The fairy user found an old anchor and tied it to him. Elder Leo was using his flame to cut himself out of it. It took him a month to do it, but the drone could have made it easier on him. The drone swims to Elder Leo legs and brings out its own blow torch. The fairy user didn’t leave the area and attacks the drone from behind, disabling it. The fairy use comes from behind and with a knife slash through the drone. It took months for them to find the drone and retrieve the video from it. I don’t know how the elders treated the event. I just saw it when I was younger. My parents got videos from different fights between us and the fairy users. My parents wanted me to learn about fairy use tactics since they knew I wanted revenge. But I don’t think drones are usefully. I never saw our technology beating any fairy user. Heck, sometimes tier 4 fairy users shoot satellites in space. What can technology do against them?

Erica presses the fast-forward button as the video has a lot of dead time. I sense something wasn’t right. The video was moving slower. I turn around and the surrounding people was moving slower. Then everything just stops. The spider jumps down from my head and grows in sizes. The spider only grew to it was around 1 meter. It jumps on to the projector and taps it with its leg. The video change back to the drone was following the fairy user. Instead of one, there is 6. They get close to the fairy user. The guy takes out a knife and stops. The drones surround him. The guy swings his knife around trying to attack the nearest drone. The drone catches the man's arm. Well, he will break that drone arm like a toothpick. Yet, no matter how much the man struggled, the drone’s arm didn’t break. The other drones capture his other body parts and take him to the surface leaving his fairy behind.

I just stare at the screen with my jaw wide open. No, this isn’t possible. I turn to the spider and ask, “There is no way that can happen.” The spider laughs. He taps the projector again and shows people get hurt by metal tubes. He does it again and shows a nuclear reactor destroying nearby buildings. Yeah, who cares that happens once a while, but then he showed the dead bodies. I threw up. The bodies were meat sacks with bones. I felt faint. But the videos didn‘t stop. He shows planes flying in the air, raining down metal beads tearing though people’s bodies. He showed people walking around with big knifes stab people. Cutting them open and having their insides fall out. People were using the metal rods on people running away. He keeps showing me different ways people are being killed. Each one was worse than the next. Bodies with holes, burned, slice, etc.… After a while I fall into a fetus position and start crying. I try to close my eyes or turn my head away from the screen, but the evil spider wouldn’t let me. He forces me to watch these horrible deaths. It was a long ten minutes in which I watch technology killing people. They didn’t just die they were horrible maimed.

The spider walks up to me and says, "Well at least you aren’t a psychopath. This is a good thing. But I think you are too nice. You are the only person in this room that would have this extreme reaction to this video. But the thing is your two opponents would. One sibling is a psychopath. She can watch this entire video and not even blink. The other is more caring but only for his family members. Therefore, my bets aren’t on you. Well, there isn’t any psychopath on your team. I see you looking at Erica but if worst comes to worst. She will lay down her life for everyone here in this room. Stop thinking so badly about your sister.” I look at my hands and wonder was I strong enough. “You are strong. The psychopath would lose to you in a fight 1 billion out of 1 billion times if you fought right now. But she if it wasn’t for someone else, she would watch this entire world burn and not care. You will die for your family, friends, allies, and even your enemies. I rather not have this battle but there is no guarantee that the person who replace you wouldn’t become power hungry and mess everything that you would have to accomplish.” I look at the spider and said, “But I thought you wouldn’t want me to be the leader.” “No, little one. You would make a great leader. You will not win this war. The odds are something will happen that will take that fire you are trying to keep lit inside of your soul will burn out. You think it is a roaring fire, but it isn’t. It is a candle that will go out in the lightest breeze. You should be king of the world, but the problem comes next. I really don’t care. The shadow already put so much work into this planet his need not keep doing this but here we are. Shadow once again have gone above and beyond his duty to this backwater place to help his stupid descendants.” The room trembles. I stand up and tries to keep my balance. “I am here on this stupid worthless planet because you morons couldn’t act right.” The spider is tapping the room with his front two legs. The shaking gets worst.

The spider glows red and its voice becomes softer and deeper. “The shadow have put his heart and soul into this place and how do you repay him? By being a bunch of brats that don’t know how good you have it. If it was up to, I will blow me this entire world to dust. You know what I should blow this place into dust.” The spider picks up one of it fronts legs and slam it to the ground. I couldn’t do anything as I watch this godlike creature destroys my home planet. I am sorry everyone. There is nothing I can do. I couldn’t shut my eyes because I have to witness this horrible event.

A rabbit that is 3 times larger than the spider appears flying above him and falls right on top of it. Bloop. The world would end, and this is the sound of it being saved. I feel faint. I lean on a chair to keep myself standing up. The man, I saw 2 years ago appear again he wasn’t projecting the enormous aura like he was last time. “Anaisa please calm down. If it wasn’t for Isis, you would destroy our home planet. I know they annoy you but come on. Look at this young specimen. He is one of a kind. We can’t someone like him die this way. You like him more than I do. Think about what you are doing to this young man.” The spider got up and I swear it was glaring at me. But it laugh, “You are right shadow, I got to work up. Ok, now go away I still training the boy. He still needs a lot a work done to him.” The guy sighs, "Dude do you think we agoing to leave right after you tried to destroy the world. I know what your next test is going to be. Let Isis do it since she is the third party and is better about this kind of stuff than you and I." The spider gives out a puff and says, “Ok, ok, Isis can you please get off of me. I will be a good spider. So, let me up.”

The rabbit teleports to the other side of the man they call shadow. The spider got up and shrinks insides. The leaps to the top of the shadow’s head and lands on it. Ugh no wonder he loves standing on top of people’s heads. The shadow turned to the rabbit and said, “Give him the damage test so I can leave. I’m still training the other two brats.” The rabbit walks up to me and says, "My name is Isis. Anaisa have shown you some terrible images. I am about to worst. I will make your body feel pain of death. Since you are one of the few people that will kill Anaisa wants you to feel what it means to die.” The rabbit hops to me and puts her hand on my leg. I felt my body rip to pieces. It felt like something tore me limb for limb. First my legs. Each leg felt like it was being torn from my body slowly. I can feel all of my muscles being torn from my body. I look down at my legs to make sure that the skin wasn’t being pulled. My body was perfectly fine. Yet, the pain was still there. As my felt like they were being ripped apart. I close my eyes. I saw my body being grab by monsters and being ripped apart.

These monsters were nothing I have ever seen before. I reopen my eyes and I was back in the theater. I close my eyes and I can see that the body part that was being tore apart is the same one I am feeling right now. I watch as a giant pig monster tore my left leg The pain that erupted was immense. I black out for a second. The monster took my leg and ate it. It laughs after eating my leg. The next monster pulls my right leg. I feel as my skin starts ripping apart. I am watching my muscles rip one by one. As they rip apart, I feel my body scream in pain. These monsters will pay. The pain doesn’t matter anymore. At this rate, I will die, or it isn’t real. It doesn’t matter. I will not accept my fate. The monster finishes pulling my leg apart and eats it like their friend. The monster holding my left arm pulls. I go with the flow and let him tear off my arm. I let him tear it in a way in which my bone becomes in shape of a spear. It had a very sharp edge. I stab the guy holding my right arm in the eye. He lets go of my arm. There is a person holding my head. He is a surprise on how I just stab his friend in the eyes and was stunned. I took my arm and stab it in the monster head. It falls backwards letting me go. The other three monsters look at me with an angry face. I watch helplessly as they pick up giant clubs and saunter towards me. They all took turns beating me with their clubs. I couldn’t do anything by smile as I died. The monster I stab out his eye. Walk up towards my head with a club and swung down.

Something piece me at the speed of sound. I look around and I was on a beach. I hear loud explosions happening all around me. Even now and again, I get hit by something small and fast. They tear through my body like it was paper. This must be one thing the spider showed me when he was showing me death. Each time I‘m hit. I can feel the metal bead tear through my body. I open my eyes in real life and look at the three of them not moving an inch since last time. I close them and see the world that cause me pain again. I found a pattern, not only that but I can see the metal beads flying. They were moving too fast and I couldn’t move out of the way. But I found a solution to the metal beads. Since I can’t move my entire body out of the way. I can move enough so my vitals aren’t hit. Even though this place was chaotic, there was only one place where the metal beads were coming from. I run to the place as fast as possible. Getting hit in areas that shouldn’t slow me down. But after each hit. My body felted pain and slowed down. I ran for a few hundred meters before. I was clawing on the ground. The person hitting me with the metal beads come out of hiding. With a smirk on his face aim his metal cylinder at my head and cause the metal bead to explode into my forehead.

The next test I am surrounded by fire. There were no were for me to go. There was nothing but fire as far as I could see. Which wasn’t far because of the smoke blocking my vision. I just close my eyes and waited for death. The fire burned my skin causing pain I could never describe. But as the fire burned my skin, I felt weird. I understood the nature of fire. It was my element. As the fire burn, the heat should suffocate, but it was feeling good. The heat dies down and my body stops feeling like it is melting. I could do anything. They made the test for me to die. I doubt there was anything I could do besides wait. I wait as the smoke from the fire filled my lungs. I felt my lungs losing air and I slowly black out.

I wake up to a watery environment. The water pressure wasn’t bad. But I lack air. My lungs scream for air. I waited as my lungs filled with water, but this time the pain differed from the smoke. My body scream out in pain. I swam around looking for an exit and couldn’t find one. I remember seeing that guy dying in the water. This is something even I can’t the image. Water was supposed to be like the ground. We were supposed to get air from both the water and air. I look around for a few minutes and understand there was nowhere to go. Instead of delaying the inevitable I drank in the water. I wanted to end it quicky. It took over an hour for me to died in that watery grave. I open my eyes and see.
