The Battle of Danger City Part Two - World on Fire

Chapter 15 - A Mental Skirmish

“What did you think about Oscura planning to kill her own mother, Danger?” Spitfire asked Danger.

“Well… it was kinda unexpected but weird at the same.” Danger replied.

Spitfire scratched her head. “Why Danger, I may ask?”

“Well I… “ Danger couldn’t think of an definite answer.

“I can’t understand why Oscura like that.” Rainbow said.

“Isn’t she always?” Lightning joked. “ I mean Danger is on her shitlist but…”

“Lightning, the Legion of Speedfreaks is on her shitlist!” Aria exclaimed.

“I don’t know whose side I’m on now!” Rainbow shouted out.

Aria, Lightning, Sptifre and Danger looked at Rainbow in the span of about five seconds.

“What?” Rainbow raised a eyebrow.

Oscura City, Alliance of Extreme Darkness, Oscura’s Room, Thursday 10th June 2021, 11:16

“This is getting ridiculous!” Anastasia complained as she and Lolestra’s attempts of calming was bascially a farce.

“I know that you’re basically a metaphorical train wreck, Oscura. But you’re in need of some help…” Lolestra tried to offer but her words fell to deaf ears because of her mentally-destroyed cousin.

“Lolestra, I’m not a metaphorical train wreck!” Oscura boomed in tears. “I’m a literal fucking train wreck!”

“Ugh, she’s getting worse every second, Lolestra. Do you think we should leave her to it, I heard that the leaders in the past need a bit of time to confront their demons.” Anastasia suggested.

“Have you gone mad, Anastasia?! She needs an hour at least!” Lolestra facepalmed, thinking that was on of the worst suggestions she has heard in her entire life.

“We’re gonna leave to it, Oscura, you need some time to get through this… I don’t know what you hate about your mother…” Lolestra announced before being interrupted by Anastasia.

“What are you saying, Lolestra, she’s also my mother and I… I actually kinda liked her.”

Lolestra was shocked at what she heard from Anastasia but it was nothing comapred to what was about to come from Oscura.

“HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT TO US, ANASTASIA!” Even more tears flowed down Oscura cheeks. “YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I HATE HER, WHY DO I THINK THAT YOU LIKE HER WHEN CLEARLY, I MADE HER DEPART FOR MY FUCKING LIFE!

Anastasia’s heart thumped as she heard the voice of Oscura she didn’t to hear.

“You… made her leave, because of… your nemesis.” Lolestra concluded.

Silence struck Oscura.

“You are correct… and I hate her for leaving me.” Oscura said.

This got Lolestra’s brain to spin cycle.

“I’m sorry but… why would you do this, Oscura? It’s already causing you enough pain already.” Lolestra said.

“Lolestra, you forgot. The exact purpose of the Alliance of Extreme Darkness is to annihilate the Legion of Speedfreaks who will a gust of wind. But we will reap the whirlwind from within their pitiful, under-minded, wretches of the cities that even dare try destroy the overwhelming brute force of the Crimson Sun.”

Lolestra and Anastasia could not bare to imagine Oscura’s personal vision for the Alliance of Extreme Darkness. She had planned to massive expand the Army of the Eternal Darkness by as much as 200 times of the power they currently yield.

“The fact that some of my loyal commanders and generals are doubting my existence, makes me believe that they think I’m literally out of my fucking mind. My mother’s youngest cousin, Lucia Obsidia Galaxia, thinks I don’t. Lucia is a general by the way. I trust Lucia very … and she knows my intentions of personally killing Danger. Painfully.” Oscura’s voice turned more evil every passing second.

She was no longer crying, but her eyes were badly affected by her ordeal which consisted flashbacks of her mother leaving her for good that they were now blood red, permanently.

“Well I think you’re… more than normal?” Lolestra was unsure of Oscura’s new form of anger.

Just before Lolestra and Anastasia exited Oscura’s room, the commander that Oscura mentioned earlier, Lucia Galaxia, was entering Oscura’s room for a status update on the Army of Eternal Darkness and some new ideas for vehicles of mass destruction. Lolestra and Anastasia both left while Oscura and Lucia both stayed in the room.

A normal Alliance of Extreme Darkness officer’s uniform consists of a black full length shirt with a red blazer with the ‘OG’ armband on the left sleeve, a shiny black knee-cap length skirt, black tights, black high heels and an Oscura-style helmet as the commanders and generals in the Alliance of Extreme Darkness are all part of the Galaxia family from different parts of the world If one becomes a general, the blazer has gold stripes. As Lucia Galaxia is a general, she has the right to wear it. Lucia was also sporting a medal known as the ‘Crimson Cross’, 1st class no less.

“Well, Empress Galaxia, you know that we won’t be ready to attack the Legion of Speedfreaks until the Army of Eternal Darkness is fully operational.” Lucia said.

“Lucia, you can call me Oscura, you know. I really don’t care when generals ask me anything in the traditional way.”

Lucia wasn’t sure what to say about Oscura’s logic.

“I think you’re not going to like this.” Lucia warned Oscura

This led to an eyebrow from Oscura being raised.

“Pray tell.”

“Well, I just heard from one my squad members that… you know that building which the Legion of Speedfreaks looted a couple of weeks ago?” Lucia began.

“Yes, what?”

“Apparently… it got looted again. By the following members of the Legion of Speedfreaks: Twilight Sparkle, Azura Dragonsfire… and Cayenne Pepper.

“This got so ridiculous so fucking fast! Lucia, send three squads to secure that abandoned factory.” Oscura ordered.

“Yes, mistress!” Lucia saluted and exited the room.

Danger City, Legion of Speedfreaks HQ, Main Control Room Thursday 10th June 2021, 11:24

Akula was in the main control room, trying to plot out any weak points in Oscura City when Danger entered the room, which look of confusion in his face. Akula wondering what was troubling Danger.

"Danger, what troubling you, pal?" Akula asked him.

"I heard something from Crimsonia about Oscura, which is... puzzling but... quite unusual for someone who is an absoulte psychopath." Danger replied.

"I'm not surprised, considering it's has Oscura written all over it." Akula said, not showing empathy for Danger's nemesis. "Anyways, what's she planning."

"Well, probably developing such an larger army than the one on Paradise City I flared out of existence. 15,000 no less, would be a pretty good place to start. The problem is that the exact number could be in the hundred thousands... or possibly in the millions." Danger explained.

“Danger, I think it would probably take months or even years to build an army of that size.” Akula interjected. “Some of my friends would probably agree on that to.”

“What do you mean?” Danger asked.

“Well, Oscura City has several underground production facilites which span over 15 square miles. If we decide to go all out right now, the chances are that the heavens might get a bit too over-crowded.” Akula explained.

“That means we aren’t gonna see the next sunrise.” Danger concluded.

“Exactly, Danger. The fact every production facilities is owned by Oscura and they are programmed by mind-control to produce any kind of weaponry capable of destroying anything, makes you wonder why she wanted to get rid of you.

Danger became puzzled. He knew that Oscura would be coming for him, but an inkling of an thought told him that the Army of Eternal Darkness isn’t ready yet. Two things worried Danger a long. One is that the Alliance of Extreme Darkness is getting stronger every second (which he already knew). Second is that before Oscura had a lapse of hell in her younger years, she acquired the use of dark matter and she was now planning on the OSC5 Imperator Tenebris Helixia. A version of the OSC5 Imperator which was powered by a mix of dark energy, dark matter and a 7117 horsepower 17.8 ICE powerplant and will go beyond 375 miles per hour.

“Danger, what was it that you were going to tell before I got you sidetracked.” Akula asked Danger, trying to bring him ‘back to his surroundings’ as he kind of drifted off into the abyss. Partially because of Oscura tried to kill him during the Battle of Paradise City a few weeks back.

“Oh, yeah. Sorry about that.” Danger apologised. “The part what Crimsonia mentioned to me, was that… Oscura was having a shower… and… she experienced mind-hemorrhaging flashbacks of her mother, Rosa Estrella Galaxia and her voice turned into a half vampiric, half demonic mixture and... she planning to kill her mother in an attempt to eradicate any hope of tranquillity within her.

"Geez, Danger. You used to believe that Grogar was the most evil entity in this universe, but now, it's actually your own nemesis."

This caused Danger to go into a mind battle and at least 3 possible scenarios began to collide with each other, all relating to Oscura.

"Danger, if you need someome, preferably one of your many friends or... I know someone who can help with your dealing with." Akula told Danger.

"Who?" Danger became interested.

"You'll see... soon." Akula told him.
