Cry in the dark

A jokers world


"I want to use my first wish" hikaru said


"Wait hikaru lis-"Hikaru says again with a little deep voice" i want to use my first wish"

"Listen to me fir-"


"It was part of the deal. You are going to do it or not"


Aki gets pissed off "whatever"


Aki thought he can calm him done latter because he is not a state to listen to anyone now.

Aki claps hand, they gets transported back in the white area


Aki asks"so what do you want. There will be no buts one time you said it, it will be what it is. I cannot fullfill wishes like erase the world, kill that person, make me the most powerful of all."


"I want to command the 5 mosters, the jokers of pre era. I want there power" hikaru said while turning his slowly head towards aki

"i told you-"

Aki gets vanished from the white area


Hikaru looks around in confusion. Up down left right aki was nowhere to be seen.


"Wh-" hikaru was about to speak, but aki reappears in front of him.


Aki had a face like he just saw ghost, he was sweating hard, his feets were trembling.


"Hey what happened? why you disappeared without fulfilling my wish?" Hikaru said 


"O......" aki said something in low voice


"What? I can't hear you"

"Ok..okay your wish is fulfilled. You will gain some of their power and you will be able to command them when you call for them. You can only call for one at a time because in exchange they will take mana as payment. "

Hikaru already lost his sanity when he saw yuki peirce by ice spears. The only thing his mind catch from what aki said was 'your wish is fulfilled'.


"Then let's go back now" hikaru said and gets back on his feets.

Aki was still shocked by something but he clapped and then they went back.

The time was stopped for the world so to Lues vision nothing happened except that hiakru was standing.

"Aaaaaa... what a expression you have there sir. Please don't be sad" said Lues

Hikaru was not replying to him. He was just staring in Lues eyes.

"Sir please don't stare at me that much. I will get scared of you" said Lues

Hikaru was still, staring at him with slightly tilted head. Lues actually started to get a little scared. 


Then hikaru opened his mouth and said

"I call for one of the 5 jokers"

The earth started shaking and in a blink of eye the heaven (sky) and earth met and in the middle of them was hikaru.

In another blink they separated back. Hikaru was standing on on ground, Lues thought he saw an illusion. Lues shake his head and then said


"Rage is not going take us anywhere sir. What happened cannot be reverted back, its the meaning of life to keep going forward. Live for what other things are precious to you"

hikaru laughed " he he...hehe..hehaahhahha, you are right i should live for what i look forward to. But what should look forward to,I don't have anything to live for"


"You sho-" before Lues finished hikaru run towards him and kicked him, Lues falls far from the village, hikaru runs towards him.

"Cough Cough.....that was a pretty good kick sir"Hiakru catches to him "right"


"But i am not so fragile to break by it" Lues hits the ground with his leg, hikaru gets hit by an ice block from ground and reached in sky.

Lues starts attacking hikaru with consecutive ice spears. Hikaru keeps dodging And starts laughing. slowly slowly he raises his voice while laughing. 

Lues freezes him in ice, hikaru breaks and punched Lues in gut. Lues flies toward mountain a little far from the village but still visible from village.

The old couples returns and says in shock 

"What happened here" 

Then peak of mountain breaks. All villagers comes out of house from the loud noise it was around 2 am all villagers eyes where still half alseep but seeing the peak of mountain waked them up.

Hikaru and Lues keeps fighting on the mountain. Lues dashes a little far from mountain and imitated the shape of mountain with his hand and captures the mountain and hikaru in big ice mountain completely hollow and reflecting thing in inside.

Then he also enters into it. Makes some ice mirrors in it and some human copies of ice same as himself. Makes ice spears with his powers and freezes hikaru in ice again

Copies follows lues and does the same thing. Hikaru gets captivated in layers of ice then Lues throws his spear with a great speed so does the copies. Spears rains on hikaru fog forms all the coldness.

The fog clears, hikaru standing there with ice shades pierced in his body and blood coming out from thhe area where ice shades were pierced and ice formed at some places.

He slowly walks toward Lues

Hikaru started laughing and crying at the same time and said

"Yes yes you neither i nor you can die easily. My blood is still boiling"

Hikaru looks at his fist " these hands still have the strength left to kill the whole world"

Lues suddenly appears in right side of hikaru with sword of ice, while trying to attack hikaru he said

"Ignorance is sin"

Hikaru catched the sword with his right hand , the tip of sword was only four fingers away from Hikaru's eyes. The sword extension, hikaru dodged it and kicked on the ground. The ground lifted a little and launched them in sky. Hikaru said while staring in Lues eyes

"Sometime Ignorance is bliss"

And blasted a fire ball on his face. 

They keep fighting till 5 am, the night was about to end. All the villagers were watching the destruction happening on mountains, children's were clinging to their parents in fear.

Hikaru and Lues started getting exhausted. Hikaru raised his hand and made a spear of ice imitating lues

"Is this the magic you are mastered in?" Said hikaru

He throwed it towards Lues, Lues dodged it But the spear exploded and Lues was caught in ice. Then hikaru attacked Lues with a big ice block. 

Lues crashed in ground, hikaru followed him.

"It's not enough to beat me" said Lues while smiling 

Lues turned full ground in ice. Hikaru's legs were grabbed by two hand of ice from the ground. Hikaru was brought on knees, his legs were fully freezed. Lues made a wand from ice, pointed it toward hikaru. 

Some invisible hands started to freeze Hikaru's body from inside. Hikaru's hear beat started slowing down, his head started stinging. He started to lose consciousness.

Then hikaru unconsciously lifted his right hand and tried to capture Lues in it. He closed his fist.

A big hand of skeleton came from the ground it captured Lues in his fist. The hand was almost reaching the sky. The villagers could also see it from far away.

Hikaru's body started going back to normal, he came back to sense. A voice echoed in Hikaru's mind

"Don't die yet."

Hikaru looked around and saw the skeleton hand taking lues in ground. Hikaru struggled to stand up with all of his injuries and exhaustion.

"Hey...hey were are you taking him, givie him back. I have to kill him by myself. Dont you dare to take him away."

The hand went back in the ground without any traces left on ground. Hiakru started crying and beating the ground.

The time of early morning suddenly turned into night again the sky was full of clouds. A person descended from sky. With a long coat, hair long up to the shoulder, eyes sharp to cut others focus and hold attention towards them. Those blue eyes which hikaru will never forget about. It was Nefrim himself.

In the middle of sky he said " what a mess he made"

Nefrim looked down on hikaru " Are you the one because of whom he had to made this much of scene "

Hikaru's face was covered by blood and his hairs, Nefrim cant properly get a good look at his face nor was he interested.

"What a mess for such a simple task. It takes a lot of work to clear all the mess he made" Nefrim said while sighing.

From his words hikaru understand it was Nefrim who sent Lues to kill Mahiru.

All exhaustion and pain left Hikaru's mind and the only thing remain was a sea of rage. 

Hikaru throwed himself toward Nefrim in sky. Aimed his hands at sky and called lightning on Nefrim.

Lightning fall on Nefrim, he redirected it towards ground

Hikaru formed a spear from magic and started attacking Nefrim.

Nefrim dodged every attack and counterattacked with a punch in Hikaru's stomach, hikaru smacked in ground in an instant.

He throwed himself again and with one hand making a spear of fire and earth spell and with another using air to accelerate it he launched it. It gained very high speed, even before blinking a eye it can pass through you and you wouldn't even sense it.

Nefrim placed his hand in front of it and absorbed it. Hikaru get shocked.

"Look i dont have time to play with you" said Nefrim

Hikaru eyes went red and his full body pumped up like he was just about to blast. He was forcing mana in his body from surrounding, and at the same time using it to heal his body from inside.  Forcing mana from surrounding  could have been lethal for him but it worked because of the deal with 5 jokers which helped him gain power and his changes in his body while summoning him to this world.

Hikaru Couldn't control that much mana flow in his body. It started leaking from his body damaging the surrounding. Hikaru launched himself once more.

Gets near Nefrim at a speed which even shocked Nefrim.

Pointed one hand at the top of head of nefrim, second below him. Nefrim get smashed between two hands one from sky and another from earth. They vanished away then lightning striked. He got frozed, falls on ground, ice breaked.

Then some hands from ground caught his hands and legs. Nefrim looked up in sky. Hikaru made small fire ball with his one hand and fired it on nefrim. It hit him and blasted 3 timed, making a large hole on ground.

When the dust settled down hikaru saw nefrim with only little injuries and bruises over his body.

"You are quiet strong but dont think you can win against me. I have no mood to fight but for the injuries you gave me i have to show you what is difference in power look like"

Nefrim was coming towards hikaru with full speed, hikaru attacked him with water shots, it was a mirage. Nefrim appeared in behind of hikaru and grabbed his head and casted a magic.

Hikaru's mind was overloaded with mana, his his body was not working according to his will. Hikaru coughed out blood. Nefrim released him, hikaru fall on ground.

"Aaaaa... i can't let people see me here. Well I was here just to confirm things and looks like he did his work" said Nefrim and vanished in the cloud in sky.

Aki and Sana rushed toward hikaru and tried to wake him up.

Hikaru Couldn't see and hear anything clearly. His heart beat started slowing down.

"Atleast i can die now. It was a pain to even move myself around after yuki's death. Aren't i a big siscon, Well whatever" thought hikaru

"I told you, not to die" the voice again echoed in Hikaru's mind. When hikaru opened his eyes he was present in a completely different place from the mountain he was fighting at.

His upper corner of eyes caught something, he looked up and his survival instincts kicked in. He started sweating and shivering, you could hear his heart beating from outside.

There were 5 big shadows in front of him, he wasn't able to see how they looked like, they were covered in black fog.

"We told you to not die but well given the opponent and your state of mind it was a inevitable" one of them spoke in heavy voice.

"Wh..who are you" hiakru asked 

"Oo.. ya you don't know us. We are the 5 jokers of pre era"

"The jokers?"

"Yes. We are the one who  gave you the power and we dont want you to die"

"But I don-" hikaru was cut in middle of speaking 

"We will help you the time you call us, we cant much interfere up in human world. Now go back we healed you back"

"Let's me di-" hikaru woke up while aki was shouting at him,

"Hey...wake up, wake up hikaru"

Tears were falling from Hikaru's eye.

The morning came the sun was hidden behind the cloud but the sky was as bluest  with big white clouds covering it. Resembling the peak time of summer.

Hikaru started shouting "Don't. Dont rise sun. Go back, at least let me cry in the darkness of the night. Why, why is the world still moving forward. It looks Like nothing happened. Stop , stop moving forward so i can atleast cry in the loneliness."

Hikaru faces his hand towards him and started making fireball to kill himself.

:slap: 

hikaru was slapped.
