~Prompt: Power
“Do you see how futile it is! You’ll never amount to anything! You’ll never save these people! These people are nothing, but sheep! Livestock to steal and take money from! You are nothing against me and all of these sheep’s money!”, screamed The Man in Red.
“You’re right about one thing, all you do is steal from these people and treat them like common livestock. Instead of seeing your fellow man as human, people just like you and me, you see nothing, but pawns for your empire and take everything away from them. When in reality you are an over gluttonous and greedy demon. A robber baron. A vile and evil villain who enjoys the suffering of the people and claim their glory and achievements as your own!”, retorted Blue Star.
The Man in Red laughed at these statements as he walked around the edge of the balcony he was on. The wind picked up in speed while both of them looked down at one another with loathsome glares. The air chilled and the tension thickened. They both knew that this would be their final fight, for one of them will not be able to come out of this alive. The outcome would determine the fate of the world around them.
“You know Blue Star, you are more evil and cruel than I am. Letting these sheep, or people as you like to call them, have hope and then ultimately crushing it due to your failure. Making them realize no one can help them. Not even a so-called “Hero“ such as yourself”, the Man in Red tsked at Blue Star, “ It’s truly a cruel thing to do. At least I am honest and have the gull to put them in their place. An act of mercy for them if you will.”
“You call that mercy! Striping away their rights? Taking away their basic human necessities? Allowing children to starve in places they’re supposed to be protected and safe? How is it merciful to lie on the news and let people die on the streets, because of those lies! If the only thing I am guilty of is allowing these people to have hope for a better life and showing them that they are ALL worthy of it, then I will gladly carry the weight of that sin on my shoulders!”
“Very well then, the time has come for you to repay your sins. Now die!” The Man in Red leapt down from atop his balcony and rushed forward towards Blue Star in a flash of crimson light.
The two of them clashed with each other head on and a large flash of white surrounded them. Their fight could be heard throughout the nation. The outcome uncertain.
Will you be a sheep blinded by the crimson red light or a blue shooting star that strives to go above and beyond for the betterment of themselves and the ones around them?
