Cid - I Am Atomic 2

Magic gathers at Shadow’s right hand. It’s so powerful the very air begins to quiver.

The magic gradually gains in intensity, and before long, the entire capital is shaking.

Tempestuous winds blow every whichway.

Clouds whirl through the sky and spit out lightning.

The magic practically seems to suck it all in as it continues collecting itself. The people at the center of that little world begin seeing flashes of bluish-purple light.

Finally, it gathers at his obsidian sword, spiraling through the air and drawing an elaborate pattern over the weapon’s blade.

“I AM—”

Shadow’s voice rumbles out deeply, and the bluish-purple magic glows ever brighter.

“WH-WHAT IS THAT MAGIC?! ARE YOU EVEN REALLY HU—?”

“—ATOMIC.”

With that, the bluish-purple light blots out the world.


When the light dies down, the world stands completely altered.

The sky is blue again, and the sun’s rays are streaming down. Rose can see her breath in the crisp, clear winter air.

Shadow stands at the very center of the world, raising his jet-black sword to the sky.

“So, that was Master Shadow’s plan for the Black Rose…”

Beta and Epsilon look up at the sky. There, they see the shattered Black Rose.

Not even it survived Shadow’s mighty attack.

As they watch, it slowly crumbles to pieces. As it does, a small mass gets sucked into it.

The mass is covered in blackened skin and red hair. It’s Mordred, now reduced to nothing more than a head.
