Chapter 6 - A peek into the future

Five Day's Remaining...

.

Two days had flown by in an instant. News of the ceasefire had already made rounds across the globe and a temporary truce between the government and the enforcers, had been established to combat the invading forces.

Unfortunately, many on both sides did not agree with the ceasefire due to prejudice and a silent civil war amongst both parties became evident. 

As of now, the only enforcer that decided to work alongside the council was Michael Sonora. 

.

Mikey had been briefed about the plan to subdue to the incoming soldiers of the enemy forces. The council had deemed it necessary to train and develop Mikey's ability and control, as a way to fend off against the invading army who were biologically superior to regular humans.

Unbeknownst to Mikey, the council have been recording and keeping tabs on his ability as a countermeasure, in case he had ever decided to join the enemy forces or break the temporary ceasefire. 

So far, the council had learned that his ability is connected to the concept of mathematics. This gave them the rough idea that, Michael had access to infinite potential and power. If harnessed to its full potential, they realized Michael could be the savior or destroyer of the universe. 

"Okay. From what I've gathered from the details you given me, I determined that your ability is connected to the quantum foam"

"What's that?"

"An infinite realm of infinite probabilities, or rather, it is spacetime on the smallest possible scale. chaotic fluctuations that predict spacetime, not as a fixed background, but as a sea of virtual particles."

Mikey listened intently to Emily's explanation, resting his chin against the back of his hand while taking mental notes.

"My guess is that the core to your ability blurs the boundary between the quantum and the macroscopic, thus allowing you to influence reality by manifesting numerical values with respective energies to them."

"Ah. So, if I use the energies of the negative and positive forces to manifest an equation into reality, it will influence this 'quantum foam' right?"

"Yes. But influencing reality isn't easy as you think it is. This reality we live in isn't the only one. There are many other realities that branch from this one, thus creating a cosmic bubble known as the multiverse."

Mikey went silent and began to ponder on the explanation of other realities. He found it almost hard to believe there existed more than just one reality, given the expansion of the universe they resided in and the many different species that resided within.

"I know it's hard to believe, but there's proof that other realities exist...and you're looking at one. I am an android built from scraps and pieces of material's that managed to pass through the higher-dimensional barrier."

Mikey stared at Emily with a shocked expression, realizing that her strength and weaponry were capable of harming him and other enforcers. 

"That explains a lot." 

Mikey stood up with an exhausted sigh escaping his lips, then Emily followed right after.

"Okay. To combat these people, I'll need to learn and understand how vectors operate. Think you can do it?"

"Yes. Only if you can withstand the training."

.

Two Day's Remaining...

.

"Let's apply what you've learned to this mock battle."

"Okay, let's get to it"

Mikey stood with one hand on his hip and the other resting to his side with a gleeful grin plastered on his face. 

On the other hand, Emily remained impassive with her arms crossed lightly over her chest. It was clear that she was waiting for Mikey to initiate the first attack.

A strange thin aura wrapped around Mikey's body, barely noticeable to the trained human eye. His pupils were replaced with two arrows pointing upward, which hadn't gone unnoticed by Emily. 

These arrows represented the mathematical concept of 'vectors', though it seemed as if Emily had already taken a guess as to what those arrows represented. 

Mikey held his hand that was previously on his hip, outward toward Emily and in that instant, something took effect. The air around Emily distorted and before she knew it, an invisible force launched her skyward at breakneck speed. 

In the next second, Mikey had vanished from his spot and reappeared directly above Emily with his hand outstretched toward her in an attempt to grab her.

His arrow shaped pupils which had pointed upward, were now pointing downward and the moment his palm came into contact with Emily, she was sent reeling into the ground as if gravity had increased a hundred-fold. 

Meanwhile, Mikey had landed on the ground with enough grace as to not disturb the surroundings. His sharp gaze was locked on the dust cloud that slowly settled and faded away, revealing an unharmed Emily.

"So, your initial control requires no contact but when changing the direction of the vectors, you need to make contact to extend the vector field. We'll need to fix that quickly."

Emily then dashed forward at an imperceptible speed, which left Mikey stunned for a split second. Unfortunately, this was all the time Emily needed, and like the beat of a heart she had appeared in front of him. 

.

"It's been nearly a week, and we've only managed to gather three new enforcers. There's no time left, we need to act now."

Everyone nodded in unison at the suggestion and left the room in an orderly fashion. Unbeknownst to anyone who had left the room, a lone figure stood in the corner, covered by the shadows of the dimly lit lights. 

'hm. So, we still have a chance for a total takeover.' 

The still air shifted in a subtle manner and the shadowy figure no longer stood in the corner of the room.

"Okay. We have gathered the enforcer of gravity, the enforcer of space, the enforcer of bioenergy, and the enforcer of mathematics."

"Mathematics? what does that even do? He look's kind of weak."

Mikey remained silent at the insult, deciding to remain passive which seemingly fueled the fire to the enforcer of gravity massive ego. 

"Enough. If he wasn't strong, then he wouldn't have been the first to be recruited. Now listen up, an army is on its way here. We must destroy them and return the planet orbit to its original path. Do not hold back."

Mikey lifted his finger to his lips in a shushing gesture. His face subtly scrunched in intense focus, earning the confusion from the others. 

"They're here..."

Those words had crashed down on the other's and that's when the reality of the situation had settled in. They were truly at war and the price for failure was the entire world. 

"Follow my lead."

Mikey ran toward an open window and leap with no hesitation, closing his eyes to enjoy the rush of wind slamming against his face and body. 

The other three followed behind quickly in the same way, observing Mikey as he rushed toward the approaching army.

Mikey felt a rush that he's never felt before, a feeling that made his heart thump rapidly and nearly jump out his chest. It was anticipation but it was also nervousness. 

In a brief moment, Mikey pupils morphed into arrows that were pointing up. As he reached the frontline of the army, he extended his right arm outward in an upward arc, and what followed next could only be described as a disaster.

The ground beneath the enemy's frontline had been neutralized by the ground uplifting with enough force to launch an absurd amount of them skyward. 

"Wait....he can control gravitational vector?"

Keith and the remaining two enforcers watched with amazement at the fluid display of power. They were quickly taken out of their stupor and the first to act was Keith. 

"Here guys! hold this!"

Those who weren't caught by the vector attack had turned their attention toward the voice, only to helplessly watch a gigantic chunk of the earth fall down on top of them.

-BOOM-

A thunderous crash echoed through the battlefield and a thick dust cloud rose from the scarred land, destroyed by the chunk of earth. 

'∇×𝐁=μ0𝐉+μ0ε0∂𝐄∂t'

An equation struck Mikey's mind like a bolt of lightning, forcing his mind to calculate the differential form of Maxwell's electromagnetic equation. This equation began to manifest within reality, producing a physical effect of electricity, yet this did not stop there. 

By separating the negatively and positively charged particles and increasing the intrinsic spin angular momentum, each charged particle produced a magnetic field. Then by visualizing Lorentz right hand rule, Mikey utilized his core as a magnet and his body as an acting coil to generate an electromagnetic induction on himself.

This resulted in a rapid electrical discharge from his body, causing the other enforcers to glance in his direction, observing the electrified scenery. 

"Keith. While I handle the second wave, I need you to maintain the planetary orbit while it is still within the range of the sun's gravitational pull. Toha, I need you to stabilize the planet conditions while Keith is reestablishing the orbit."

The two enforcers grumbled in annoyance due to being commanded by someone younger than they were, yet they still decided to comply with the solid plan. 

"Lastly, Ria, I need you to steady the bioenergy produced from the sun and if you can, increase it until the orbit is stabilized"

Mikey gave out these commands as if it were second nature while defending against the horde of enhanced extraterrestrial species. 

In an electrical blur, Mikey had severed the heads of twenty enemy soldiers and while maintaining his velocity, his core began to emit an ethereal glow. It was as if time had begun to slow, everyone's movement began to halt, and the world became a blur of relativistic streak of colors.

.

Mikey found himself standing in the center of the planet, surrounded by a sea of flames, along with the bleeding sky filled with thick black smoke and ashes. The ball of plasma that sat in the sky had been dimly lit, flickering in and out as if it were ready to extinguish at any moment.

Rs=2GM/c2

A complex equation flashed across Mikey's vision while the world was being consumed in flames. Then the sky darkened and the sun no longer gave a radiant light, now it had been replaced with a spherical darkness, surrounded by a ring of immense radiation.

This thing in the sky was none other than an infamous blackhole.
