A Fractured Existence
A man awakens in a medical facility unsure to why he is there or even who he is. A doctor comes in to check on the man, shining a light in his eyes. The doctors lips are moving but the man doesn't hear anything, when he doesn't respond a worried look crosses the doctors features. As his mind begins to stir from recent slumber thoughts rush to the man
"If he doesn't get that light out of my eyes hes a dead man" "hes just trying to help."
The man is confused by the polar thoughts. Slowly sound returns to his surroundings.
"Can you hear me?"
the doctor says once more.
"Y..y..y..yes"
the man reply's garbled.
"Do you know where you are? How you got here?"
the doctor inquires. Shaking his head the man says
"No." "Do you remember your name?"
The man tries to recall...but nothing comes, the first thing he can remember is waking about a few moments ago. The doctor frowns at the mans facial expressions as he reaches the conclusion. "Your in a medical facility in Farwick. We assume that you were injured while fighting in the 3rd Ninjan Civil War, thats when you were brought in. You didn't have any identification so we haven't been able to reach out to anyone. You suffered a serious head wound we weren't sure if you would ever wake up, and were still not sure what complications will arise." The man listened to the doctor
"He felt empty in side, he had no name no one waiting for him that knew he was still alive anyway." "What are you a women quite your whining and grow a pair"
once more confusion shows on the mans face as he looks around to find where the voice came from but finds himself alone with the doctor. "I'm in here dumb ass" the voice says again. The mans heart begins to beat faster, he feels a hatred rising up inside of him but somehow its separated from him. Trying to rise the man finds that he is restrained, anger rushes him and he rips the restraints free dragging large chunks of floor with them. The doctor frantically backs away calling for help. As the anger continues to rise the mans skin is set ablaze in crimson illumination. His black hair changing to a vibrant crimson as well. The mans gaze fall upon the doctor as the room is tinted in a red light, seconds later the doctor lets out a horrifying scream. The doctors charred remains fall limp to the ground a ghost of his scream still lingering in the air.
Sorrow fills the man for the unthinkable act he just committed. With the sorrow a royal blue light irrupts from the mains body, the red and blue energy's lash out at one another fighting for control neither strong enough to take it from the other. Suddenly an explosion of white light throws the man through a wall in his room and out of the hospital.
After a moment he rises and takes in his surroundings, he finds himself in a beautifully elegant city. He stands on green grass pieces of the wall he just came threw scattered on the ground. Surrounded by tress the silhouettes of buildings in the distance the hospital before him dust still in the air from the explosion. As he begins to wonder what caused the explosion figure steps into the smoke cloud, as the smoke clears the figure is revealed as a man in a red and white suit, no not a suit his skin color has changed. More then his strange skin tone the thing that stood at most on the man in the smoke was the S on his chest, it was oddly familiar to the man with no name.
Gazing down at the blue one Crimson's eyes blazed with anger. He tilted his head left then right cracking his stiff neck. "Do you know what it's like to be trapped in your own body for years." he yelled at Azure. "I waited all this time for what? While you" he said gesturing at the man with the blue skin "were lying there like sleeping beauty wait for your prince." Crimson stepped out of the hole in the hospitals wall and approached his other half. "Who are you?" Azure asked, he was confused he didn't understand well crimson would make him understand. "I'm you, your anger, hatred everything that gives you strength." The other finally looked himself over, he was a mirror image of crimson with a blue tint. "Do you finally understand?" Crimson asked. "Were one in the same, two halves of the whole." Crimson stood toe to toe with Azure, they looked one another in the eyes. Crimson pulled back his arm and said "Now finally I can take control."
The blow took the man to a knee. Recovering quickly he rushed the red man, to his surprise they both lifted off and crashed through the trees he had seen earlier. His arms were locked around the other mans waist as they continued to fly forward. A sharp pain went through his back as the other man began delivering blow after blow to his spine. Before they reached end of the tree cover he was taken out of his furious flight and smashed into the earth. A large crater was all that was left of the beautiful forest that was there only moments ago. Pain for all the life lost in that forest gave the man strength. His body began to glow with a stunning blue aura. Rising to his feet his eyes scoured the surrounding area for the crimson warrior. A few seconds went by and he saw and heard nothing, suddenly his body reacted to something his senses hadn't picked up and he turned around to catch burning red fist. "I can sense you." he thought aloud.
"Of course, I told you were one in the same"
the man replied. "If thats true then why are we fighting?"
"For control of course, your like a child do I have to explain everything to you?"
