Shattering Humanity-Chapter 454: "...So The Two Of Them Can Become The Men They Wanted To Be, Before They Met Me."

Chapter 454: "...So The Two Of Them Can Become The Men They Wanted To Be, Before They Met Me."

"For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Anyone who believes in him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

This is the judgment: The light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light and avoids it, so that his deeds may not be exposed. But anyone who lives by the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be shown to be accomplished by God." -John 3:17-21

Police Officer: "All three of you get on the ground now!"

{10 Months Before Leviathan’s Invasion}

[Massachusetts, Vinland]

In the early hours of the morning, even before the sun surfaces over the horizon to shine on the northeastern state, the flashing of blue lights from a brigade of cop cars and street lights illuminate the urban city streets.

Police Officer: "I said get on the ground and put your hands on your heads!"

A swarm of officers exit their vehicles, guns unholstered and up. Each one preparing to surround their hunted targets.

The shouting draws attention from some of the city folks watching the scene unfold from their windows.

Three dark silhouettes put their hands behind their heads and slowly lay on their stomachs on to the sidewalk cement. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Two of the civilians under arrest are the exact same height, both have at least three officers holding them down while physically detained.

The third, long haired arrested individual however, has an officer holding each one of their limbs while an other four surround the pinned body are pointing a gun or tazer at the alleged criminal.

Even after having given themselves up and prone face down, the officers are unable to budge the detainee’s hands off of their haired head.

Officer: "Stop resisting and put your hands behind your back now!

Stop- Ugghhh!

What the fuck? She’s strong!"

Exiting his own unmarked vehicle, walking over to the detainees is a clean cut FBI agent on the scene.

He goes towards the two more cooperative silhouettes now with only one cop holding them down.

The man crouches down, and reaches across his "Maxwell" name badge. With the press of a button, his attached shoulder light reveals the first two people under arrest.

The first is the worried green eye face of Pontius, the college student who had his paralysis cured. The other, seeming to be a chosen personal attire monicker, has his lower face covered with a navy green cloth.

The agent pulls it down to reveal the slightly younger, but still very recognizable 13 year old Vegetius. His loathing grimace towards the authority who he currently feels are his captors.

Even prior to the Icemen invasion and his military training, the overall build of 13 year old Vegetius can easily be mistaken as at least an athletic college prospect’s.

Agent Maxwell: "So, I’ll get right to the point because your list of charges are shorter, and don’t try to lie to me because we know everything about you two..."

After the intimidating remark he stares directly at Pontius, as if knowing about the young student’s unfortunate childhood tragedy.

Agent Maxwell: "...Especially you.

Seems like miracles do come true, huh?"

The two confused boys watch as the man pulls out a small notebook. He flips through it page by page while the other five officers are still heard trying to properly arrest silhouetted stone statue.

Frustrated Officer: "If you don’t put your hand behind your back right now we’re going to taze you for resisting!

Do you want that?!"

The officers pick the two young men up to their feet, and the investigator starts rattling off their crimes while the noises of high voltage from tasers charging up can be heard.

Agent Maxwell: "As of right now, both of you are under arrest for multiple accounts of co-conspiracy, the transferring and acknowledged use of laundered money, insurrection, fraud against the Vinland people, and finally terrorism."

The aspiring college student, Pontius, is shocked and bewildered by the accusations. He is then appalled and horrified once he hears behind them...

Frustrated Officer: "Alright she’s still resisting.

Shock her."

Taxing Officers: "Tazer!

Tazer!

Tazer!"

The unison crackles from two controlled electrical weapons shockingly do nothing to their intended target.

Try as they may, even while sending 100,000 volts through the woman, it does nothing as the grunting all male police force, continue in failing to move either arm.

Agent Maxwell: "Whooo, boy.

Just by the looks of it, that’s a hefty fine, and a couple decades of jail time if you get parole..."

Pontius: "But-!"

Agent Maxwell: "Uht. Uht.

I’m looking out for you when I say this, Kid, and efore you say anything else, we have you on camera and have multiple voice recordings, admitting it your Boss over there. So much evidence that if I had to guess, it can get you booked before lunch.

So I’ll warn you, you have the right to remain silent. A,nything you say or do will be held against you in the court of law."

Having no actual idea of what the meaning is behind the crimes they have been arrested for, both boys respond at the same time.

Pontius & Vegetius: "What!?"

Realizing the freedom of cherished allies are now being used against her, the resisting citizen still on the ground finally talks.

Jesse James: "He’s legally lying to you!"

Surprising everyone, her legs chained together at the ankles, but the group of 5 larger male officers are almost comically unable to overpower her.

Not filled with comedy however is the scowling pink eyes looking through the swarm of struggling cops, staring directly at the two young men. Both, now with shocked looks from how easily their mentor is keeping her hands behind her head, despite the ridiculous amount of manpower trying.

Jesse James: "Don’t say anything, either of you!"

The boys nod once and she then glares daggers with her already depressed and tired eyes at the agent responsible.

Jesse James: "Section2339A!

You have been tracking me for longer than both of there ages combined, so you know they have no involvement in why you want me.

If they are guilty of anything, it’s attempting to search for help from someone willing to do so!

We don’t have to live in a world of villains and victims! There’s no need to drag them into this and ruin the new lives they’ve been given!"

Waking up due to the commotion outside her apartment, a yawning little girl walks over to her third story window to hear the overpowered woman pleading for her comrades.

Jesse James: "...You and I both know, Agent Maxwell , that I can resist a Hell of a lot longer than the amount of men you have willing to get publicly embarrassed by a female. Neverless publicly ridiculed once more people start to see your perceptively abusive methods to subdue said woman."

A flash from a phone camera, recording the incident can be seen from a second floor window.

Jesse James: "So if you want to phyisically take me in as it routinely would, you have to promise to let the kids go and forget they ever had any involvement with me..."

Showing her willingness to offer a proposition, the investigator smirks as if finally accomplishing a life goal.

Holding the smile, he looks up at the dark blue sky.

Agent Maxwell(thinking): *We finally got her, Dad, and it was with your advice.

She made close friends, and that eventual necessity for all life, turned out to be this bitch’s downfall.*

Looking over their shoulders, with tears swelling from the words of the woman who is using her superhuman strength as leverage for their freedom.

Moving her beautiful but sad, tired eyes to fixate on her ever grateful companions, the leader gives them a soft, but reassuring smile.

Jesse James: "...So I can watch the two of them become the men they wanted to be, before they met me."

...

As the well trained soldier continues walking down the lightly SeiõrSnow dusted road towards a single road interesting on the right.

Vegetius(thinking): *No matter what, my mission is to locate, secure, and evac the captured Lieutenant Pontius Hudson.

Then, I guess, we can only go on from there...*

The soldier takes a look down the street and someone catches his eye.

Bobbing up and down in the usual active, combatant style, a pair of platinum swirling pigtails appearing from the top of the hill that leads down to what looks like the road is just cut off at an empty grass field.

Soon, the Takamagahara member responsible of defending the civilian cul-de-sac under Zoram’s SeiõrStar within the same neighborhood reveals herself walking down the asphalt road towards him.

An equally visible expression of determination is written all over Itsuka’s gorgeous face.

Vegetius is a bit surprised by the fact he actually found the woman with platinum hair he has been told to locate in order to get Pontius back. Remembering the prize for this moment, he begins walking down the same street towards Itsuka.

As if planned, both "special team soldiers" for their respective sides activate individual SoulSeiõrShields at the same time.

Itsuka’s iconic and dazzling crystal purple SoulSeiõr seeps from every pore around her well fit body.

The same thing goes for the blue/yellow SoulSeiõr pouring out of the equally impressive built physique to her new opponent as he once again unbuckles his AIG and drops his rifle without missing a step.

Vegetius(thinking): *Please watch the progress of the person you’ve help save, my Messiah.*
