Within a second, everything around him had ceased to be. Now there was only darkness, or perhaps nothing at all, as darkness required light for it to be present itself.
He had been fighting valiantly, pushing his godlike power to the limit; however, these two beings... he couldn't take them both at once. Everything they did, he could undo. Everything he did, they could do the same. There was only a split second to do this, with no room for error, but he was ready and focused.
However, he was now focused on the nothingness, the pure emptiness that surrounded him as he floated endlessly through time and space.
He tried to teleport out, but to no avail. Now he felt powerless, he felt small.
Suddenly in the barren nothingness around him, a small light appeared. Over a few seconds it grew and grew, until the light flooded all around him. The entities he had been fighting previously were present, but now they were not hostile. Calo didn't know what to do now. He stayed on his guard, but looked up at the two strange individuals as he noticed they began to speak.
Once again their voices rang out, quiet yet loud, demanding yet requesting, angry but happy. A melding of tones and pitches made the moment all the more eerie.
The tall one swayed this way and that slowly, his voice booming off the nonexistant walls all around him.
"We can tell we cannot win; but neither can you. We have to come to an comprimise or all will be lost."
Calo raised a brow and then looked at the short but fat deity as it began to speak, it's voice exactly the same, in likeness and the melding of voices and tone and pitch, but ever-changing.
"We will answer what questions you have so that you can understand why we are doing what we must do. Hopefully, then, we can come to a consensus on what to do with you and your Creator's power.
Calo had never heard his Omnikinesis given such a name. He began to ponder on what to ask. He really did have many questions; he would probably only have this one moment to do it.
He then spoke.
"Why am I the only person with this power? If I'm not the only one, where are the others? Who are you? Why are you here? How do my powers work exactly?"
Both deities looked towards one another, though they didn't really have eyes, and began to slowly sway in unison as they looked down toward him.
"You are not the only person with this power. There used to be many others, but now there are few. Most have been through judgement by we two. None should have this gift, this ability to create and destroy on a whim. But somehow, you humans do."
The short one then cut in.
"We are Alpha and Omega. I am Omega, I am the End. Known to many as Death, I am the one that has to put an end to all things. If nothing was to end, then nothing else could begin."
The tall one spoke once more.
"And I am Alpha. I am the beginning, the giver of life and the true Creator. However, both Omega and I must be present or all will be lost. We are the two Creators, we are Life and Death. This is strange with you, however. Since you are one of us, but stuck inside a human shell, you have the choice to do both. You are the Choice. You can create what you want as you see fit, or you can destroy anything without more than a thought about it. This is why we have always had to come and judge others like you; none have been deemed worthy. This power is much too strong to be in the hands of just any human."
Omega remained silent as Alpha continued to speak on.
"You have shown qualities of pure skill with this, however, and have grown to show us that you may possibly be worthy of such abilities. At a young age, you were Creating even without this power. You were Creating life. With only your own human resources, you created a line of twenty beings. Three are still alive, as we have seen. The other one is in between living and dying, though you've hidden it away."
Calo winced at this. He didn't think anyone knew. Then again, these were the timeless Creators. They probably know everything about anything. In any case, he continued to listen quietly as Alpha spoke on.
"We have been around as long as anyone or anything can remember, and then even longer than that. There is no explaination for how we came to be; we simply are. There is no explaination for what our power can do; it simply does what it does. So strange it is to us that your race, created in our image, requires to know so much when some things have no origin, when some things are just simply there or not there."
Alpha went silent and Omega took his place in speaking once again.
"You are both of us, as one being. You can give or you can take. It's that simple. Never before have we been challenged by such power, by such prowess of this ability. Even if we wanted to end you, we couldn't. You rival both of us as you are both of us. You cannot be stopped, and so we must ask you... Be wise with your power. Do not use it when it is not necessary. In your petty battles on your planet, do not use it unless completely necessary. And even then, to kill using this power is dishonorable. To End is to let something go, not to force it to go. You must learn this. Alpha and I both hope that you will come to learn that you are destined for better things."
Alpha once again began to spoke as Omega ended his small speech.
"You have created a being, known on your planet as Hexagon, but to you are Prototype 18. It's strange... we created you in the image of ourselves, your kind, and then you've created him in the image of your own kind. You can reshape the world around you, he can reshape himself. There are prophecies about this, about you and he, but we will not dwell into that as it will follow it's course regardless of if you know or not."
Calo had been simply nodding and listening this entire time, but suddenly he had another question to ask. Just as he was about to ask it, both of them spoke at the exact same time, their voices almost an echo of one another.
It seemed they knew what he was going to ask before he even asked it.
"You used to have a dark half. He called himself Nirvana. He was your darkness, he was the End within you. You are him and he is you. It is how We are, Alpha and Omega, to one another. Yet somehow, when that man Fernando Rosso extracted him from you, apart of him was left. This still gives you the ability to use your Creator's power to destroy. Then, later, you housed a strange demon within the empty shell where Nirvana used to lay dormant. This was, in essence, the Satan that your race has come to fear. Somehow, the Demon Lord found you to be a capsule for his reawakening. He is another Ending, another who can only destroy. He left those horns on your head, those demonic wings and tail that you have come to despise and hide from time to time. You have been possessed by the Devil and lived to tell about it. This alone means you're pure at heart, yet you have killed mercilessly in times before that. You are the strangest individual with Creator's power yet, but you are also the easiest to understand. You are what the prophecy explains. You are an individual who strives for power, but doesn't use it in it's complete form. You are a man who likes no walls, be they clothing or a cell which there is no escape. You are a Creator. You are one of us."
The suddenly went quiet and it was a most strange feeling. Their voices have come to be almost soothing. He enjoyed listening to their words, their endless change of individual voice.
"We are giving you a choice because you are the Choice. You are a Creator, as we are, and you a pure of heart regardless of what you or your people think. You can do anything, but with that power, what will you really do? To change a reality ends that very reality in which you live and puts you within a new one. It is your choice in which you will live and it is your choice in which you will live to prosper. So, we will now leave you knowing these few things."
Calo continued to listen.
"You cannot be neither hero nor villain, but you cannot be undecided in what you want. You cannot be a biased source on any individual thing; you have the power to change what you dislike. You cannot let your human feelings leave you distraught so that you will want to use your power carelessly. There is a difference between what you CAN do and what you SHOULD do. Remember that, Calo. Remember everything we have said here. We shall check up on you when you least expect it. And We shall always be watching."
Alpha and Omega were then gone. Calo watched as they disappated and became one with the darkness; then he disappeared himself.
