Spectacular World

Ward watched the door to his office close, leaving just him, Avalon, and Full Monarch. He waited until he was sure Sini and Max were far enough away that they wouldn't be able to hear anything, even if they had enhanced hearing that allowed them to pierce the soundproof walls.

"Are you sure of what you saw?" Ward questioned.

"I'm sure." Full Monarch nodded and floated off of the ground. His body kept flickering in and out, no doubt using his speed to get rid of some of the stress he was feeling by flying around the city saving people.

Avalon held the smallest hint of a smirk on his face as he leaned against the wall and shrugged his shoulders a bit. "I had a feeling it wouldn't be so simple."

"Did you?" Ward questioned and frowned. "What exactly do we know about this Emperor figure in the first place?"

"Tall, dark, strong, scary red eyes." Avalon sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "Honestly, we don't know what their powers even are other than that they can affect life in some way, so it has to at least be related to Nier, right? And they seem to be doing the same dark experiments Nier did seven years ago, though I doubt they're going to stick to just bad guys."

"Wait? Back up. Red eyes?" Full Monarch questioned. "What do you mean by that?"

"Yeah. You know the glowing that came out of his helmet." Avalon said, pointing up at himself. "They're all red and stuff. Like red fire."

"I thought they were blue." Ward piped up.

"That's what I saw as well." Full Monarch noted. "He had blue eyes, not red. Although, now that I think about it, when did you see Emperor Ward?"

Ward was saved from answering the question by Avalon, who spoke up. "So let me clear this up. Some of us have seen him with glowing red eyes, and some of us have seen him with glowing blue eyes. None of us know what his power actually is either. Do we even know if it's a guy or not?"
