Chapter 313 - Heros Are Not Born (2/2)

”Attention to all gathered. Acting on behalf of the Federal Government, we are here to arrest this man and hold him accountable for his actions of ȧssaulting innocent civilians along with engaging in trespassing, attempted murder, impersonating a member of the armed forces and several other felonies. I advise everyone gathered to disperse immediately or face the risk of arrest as well. Those that leave today we will not persue or press charges. But if you stay, even if it's to protest in a non-violent manner, you will be held accountable for your crimes to the fullest extent of the law,” agent Wallace announced while being filmed. They had taken a film crew along with them for the reason of broadcasting Laz's crimes to the public in an effort to undo the damage the live stream had done. Strangely enough, all of the charges were indeed true, if not overly exaggerated.

What they didn't count on was that in the news broadcast that had been sent to every major news network in the country, a lot of online activity was going on online as well. For people who hadn't seen the livestream, they were attacking Laz for being like every other infected they heard about until other viewers who had seen the live stream directed them to the still posted video. Although some refused to believe the livestream was real, quite a few people started to understand that there was far more going on then they realized.

Now, all eyes were gathered on the many friends and acquaintances that had gathered to support Laz. No one knew his story with them, the contact they had been in or the things they had gone through. But even if they knew that, so what? Everyone wanted to see just how many of them would walk away from this. In fact, Tommy wanted nothing more than to see Laz's face when those he counted on decided to abandon him. He knew more than anyone else about how many of them were involved in the gate crashing and such, but even then he didn't believe for a second that so many strangers would put themselves at risk for another person. Even the people watching at home had the same question of how many people would walk away, even if they had no idea the whole story.

Strangely enough, after a few seconds of watching, no one moved at all.

Then, unexpectedly, Laz started laughing as though he had heard the funniest joke every. Seeing him laugh like this, even Kennedy couldn't keep a smile off her face. Everyone else was looking on dead serious while Laz laughed.

Seeing Laz act this outrageous was enough to get everyone to turn their attention to him.

”Hey you. Agent of the United States government. Do you know why I'm laughing right now? It's simple. You're an idiot. Anyone who would say that is an idiot. I'm not sure if you've figured this out, but everyone who has gather here is my brother and sister. According to you people, each one of us is deemed a safety risk to the public and therefore are considered a threat. You're saying if they don't leave you will arrest them? So what? SO FUCKING WHAT? Even if they do leave, you're going to fuċkɨnġ arrest them anyway the first chance you get. Look at us, mister federal agent. Each and every one of us is the bad guy in your eyes. I have no fuċkɨnġ clue what led you people to believe that these fuċkɨnġ degenerate, murdering, rapists, pieces of shit are somehow your chosen ones, but for the fuċkɨnġ love of all that is still rational in the god damned world, don't insult our intelligence by trying to go high while acting like we are going low. Even the people watching must think you're all out of your god damn minds with this bull shit. I do one little live stream and this is the response you come up with? To act like you're just targeting the bad guy while being the heroes of justice or some shit? FUCK YOU. Let me tell you something. Everyone here fully plans to resist in a very violent manner so you can wipe that thought from your slimy, twisted head. That's right. We. Are. Not. Going. Quietly! And if you start some shit, we will fuċk you up.” Laz yelled, getting every thought off his ċhėst with this one rant. He surprised himself, speaking so much in front of so many people. And yet, he didn't feel bad about it in the least.

”What do you want? You want to walk away right now? We will only keep coming after you.” Although agent Wallace was rather taken back by Laz's rather blunt speech, that didn't faze him fro long.

”Walk away? Who said anything about walking away?” Laz mocked back, surprising those who thought that's exactly what he wanted, even those on his side.

”Then what?” Agent Wallace yelled back, clearing getting pissed at not being answered.

”I want his head!” Laz said, pointing at the bronze giant who was standing there amused. While all this was going on, the camera's had normally avoiding filming him. But after Laz pointed to him, there was no way they could ignore him anymore. Once the camera's settled on the bronze giant, it cause quite a stir online.

Laz didn't say anymore at this point and instead walked over to where Aaron, Freya, Helen, Remi, Leona, Malene, Ruby, Vivi and everyone else had gathered after clearing some room for his reunion with Kennedy. She, of course, followed close by.

”What the hell are you doing Laz?” Aaron asked when he walked up.

”Dis is not wise boy,” Madam Cal added.

”Why would you want to fight that thing?” Freya voiced her own concerns.

Laz's response was a set of glittering gold eyes that locked each of them in place. The aura off his body was even more pronounced than anyone had ever seen. Minus the strongest standing in the group who felt their knees go weak, everyone else who was close by backed of several steps while trying to stay upright.

”He is currently weakened, yet even now he is stronger than me. If he gets a chance to return to full power, there is no way any of us could get strong enough, fast enough to oppose him. Right not, this moment, is our only chance of killing him before he begins killing us, one by one.”

”How much stronger than you, baby?” Kennedy her eyes taking on piercing green light.

”Right now, he is only one major realm stronger than me. His real strength is actually two major realms stronger, in terms of how their kind measure strength, which is based on their energy capacity.”

”You can fight someone that much stronger than you?” Freya asked, amazed. She was regaining her footing from Laz's aura and releasing her own in response. She was beginning to understand that Laz wasn't trying to intimidate them, he was instead provoking their fighting spirits.

”Normally, no. But that thing standing over there right now? It's at best a low tier god. He would have been nothing more than a foot solder in the final wars between the pantheons.”

”God damn...”

”You're kidding?”

”A foot solder?”

While everyone else looked at each other in disbelief, there was one person who didn't take her eyes off Laz once and that was Kennedy.

”Something on your mind big sister?” Ruby said with a grin while poking Kennedy's side.

”He's grown so much...”

”You should find that out for yourself later...” Ruby said with a smirk.

”I didn't mean that... I just meant... I don't know. But I guess what they say is true. Hero's are not born....”
