Stargate: Universe's

Captain Clown

In a beautiful meadow, I saw an angel who guarded the soul.

Guard the soul, so that they do not stray from the way of the truth of the world.

In his tiny hand was a sword, and in his heart was an unquenchable determination.

Her blond hair was like an incandescent light from heaven, and her white skin was the holy water of repentance, which purified sin, and opened the eyes of the blind.

I wanted to approach him, express my feelings to him who had been buried long under the trash heap of worldly rot.

But what a power, I'm just a clown locked up in a theater of immortality.

The door that never opens, and the curtain that never comes down.

I was just waiting for him in the shadow of temporary entertainment, while playing the five balls of human folly.

Hope, determination, desire, pleasure, and futility.

...****************...

Flambeau awoke from his stupor, from his dream that kept repeating itself endlessly. The turbulence of the plane that occurred many times, making it almost vomit. Very uncomfortable, he lamented in his heart. How surprising, that the two gunshot wounds from Hassen had now disappeared as if he had not been hit by anything just now. He wanted to return to the dream world, but Nihilism seemed to have been watching him since then, waiting for him to wake up from his stupor. The poem, is a poem he made in the past, as he felt attracted to Aestus for the first time.

Flambeau sighed, then decided to throw away his daydream when Nihilism finally came to him.

“Hey, gran chico, where is Aestus now ??”

“Don't tell me, you want to tease her again as usual ? Make an effort to restrain your disgusting lust.”

What an unexpected lecture by Flambeau, he did not want at all. However, at least he was used to the 'tutorial at the unexpected moment', especially if he was talking to the great priest, Nihilism itself. That is how it always happens if one always speaks with a priest who is holy of his thoughts and words. Flambeau sighed, then shifted the topic of conversation to something else.

“Omong-by the way, big guy. Where are we now ??” asked Flambeau while looking up to Nihilism whose body was very tall like a skyscraper on mortal earth.

“You can see for yourself. We are getting closer to where the mortal man lives now.”

Flambeau felt like he wanted to slap Nihilism's head which was always covered by that skull mask. However what power, its height alone was not comparable to Nihilism itself. Flambeau finally decided to get out of his bed, then walked towards the window of the spacecraft with a slight stagger. His head was still dizzy. Although Nihilism seems to know this, he did not move to help Flambeau. As always, always wanted to be holy and never tarnished by anyone, not even his own friend.

After turning his head and looking at Nihilism rather sharply, Flambeau finally continued his steps back towards the windows on both sides, left and right. It was a very tiring journey for Flambeau, although it only took a few steps to get to both windows. Holding his body against the window frame, Flambeau opened the shutters of the spacecraft, immediately confronted by an infinite view of space. Flambeau observed the darkness of outer space for a while, before finally recalling his mission to attack the last refuge of mortal mankind along with his friends.

“Oh, already extraterrestrial turned out.....” murmured.

The situation inside the space ship was quite quiet and calm, unlike what should have happened when two Prophets were gathered together in the same place, in front of the mattress that Flambeau had just occupied, Nihilism finally decided to return to control the spacecraft. He walked a few steps past Flambeau, who seemed to be enjoying the empty view of space, before a shock stopped them both for a moment. Flambeau and Nihilism stared in the same direction, the upper part of the spacecraft that seemed to have just been bombarded by a mysterious attack of unknown origin and the culprit.

“That's just plain turbulence, it looks like.”

“Seems like ?? Sounds not too convincing in my ears.” said Flambeau as he looked towards the space vacuum once again.

After a moment of silence inside the spacecraft, the shock finally reappeared. This time was much louder than the previous one, as well as being accompanied by mysterious whistles and hisses coming from outside. Flambeau turned his head towards Nihilism, as if mocking about what he had said just now. Flambeau and Nihilism stared at each other for a moment, before Nihilism finally took out his red glowing sword and started walking towards the exit.

“Let's just relax, they're still not aware of our whereabouts.”

“Oi, wait a minute, gran chico.”

Nihilism paused his steps immediately after, then sighed and turned towards Flambeau somewhat irritatedly, as he looked at the slanted smile on Flambeau's face. It was a sign that Flambeau was looking to do something as strong as he could.

“This clown still wants to spin the fourth ball of human stupidity, you know.” said Flambeau as he walked up to Nihilism, then passed it.

Now Flambeau has turned his back on the exits of the spacecraft, preventing Nihilism from going out to fight with the truth. Flambeau made some eye contact with Nihilism while raising his head up, due to Nihilism's height which far surpassed him. After a moment of seeing that always equal slanted smile, Nihilism finally sighed and decided to yield to Flambeau, turning off his glowing sword.

“(Sigh) Whatever, but make sure you always contact me via Star Net, okay ??”

“Ya yes....... Always use the ancient object like stuck in the past.” said Flambeau while turning his body, facing towards the exit of the spacecraft they were riding.

Flambeau then extended his hand towards the right, and with his telekinesis ability, he pulled out both of his favorite weapons, a machete and an explosive shotgun. Flambeau gave a small smile for a moment, before finally stepping towards the exits of the spacecraft and leaving Nihilism inside there alone.

...****************...

Flambeau dashed out onto the roof of the spacecraft, quickly feeling the coldness of the void space. It should immediately freeze or even destroy someone without the astronaut suit protecting him, but the same does not seem to apply to Flambeau. The power of the red star had flowed throughout his body, passing through the various blood vessels like a frenzy of dense and crowded traffic.

His eyes immediately saw a welcome from the thousands of strange winged creatures clinging to the entire fuselage of the spacecraft. Their front legs are sharp, even you could say that it is a sword that is always sharpened quite well. The creatures were still clinging to the entire fuselage of the spacecraft for a while, before finally starting to fly off while realizing the presence of Flambeau between them. Their eyes were red, and there was another bright green, staring intently at Flambeau, then instantly letting out their thundering roars.

“Ah, truly a circus show !!”

One of the winged creatures flew towards Flambeau, and Flambeau just stretched out his hands while staring at the creature, as if he was welcoming it well. Flambeau remained in place, until at last the winged creature's legs attacked him, only to be blocked by a red-to-orange shield protecting Flambeau.

“Sorpresa !!”

Flambeau let the creature attack his shield for a while, which of course produced nothing. After playing around with the mortal, Flambeau split his body in two with a slash from the ground up. The creature's body was extremely fragile, it was very easy to destroy even with the smallest force. The rest of the creature's body finally disappeared somewhere, right in front of Flambeau's eyes.

Hey, how's it going in there, Flambeau ??

Flambeau returned to his leisurely pose, while walking to the middle of the spacecraft's roof. The winged creatures did not attack him anymore, apparently because they were aware of the difference between them and the enormous Flambeau. Flambeau remained silent in their midst, like a small pillar passed by thousands of birds in the air.

“Oi, gran chico, it looks like they are the remnants of the Emergence event anomaly a few years ago. So here they go??”

Whatever you say. The important thing is to clean up these dirty creatures right now. This plane would be very conspicuous to those people if this were allowed to happen continuously.

“Yes yes, but the taste information is more important for me....” said Flambeau with a grin.

Flambeau then pointed his shotgun towards one of the flying creatures that had green eyes among the others. Flambeau had time to not shoot the creature dead, but still no one of the creatures wanted to attack him at all.

“Come on, cobarde !!”

Flambeau could not wait to see the flying creatures do nothing but observe themselves. He moved his finger to pull the trigger of his shotgun, firing a fire bullet that shot fiercely towards the poor green-eyed flying creature, who accepted his own death without any resistance. The creature exploded instantly, though, and the green blood of the creature fell on the roof of the spacecraft and created three pools of poison that continued to boil and seemed not affected by outer space at all. Flambeau, who was very curious, went straight to the three puddles of poison, and again no flying creature wanted to attack him or tried to block his way.

“Hmmmm, this poison....... Looks like I'm familiar with this poison ??” muttered Flambeau while stroking his own chin with both fingers.

Suddenly, one of the flying creatures landed not far from behind Flambeau, then flew towards him and immediately raised his front legs to prepare to attack Flambeau secretly. Unfortunately, the creature's tacit abilities aren't good enough to keep Flambeau off guard. As soon as the flying creature slashed down using both feet, Flambeau had jumped to the right while replying to the creature's attack using his fiery machete. Supposedly, a slash from Flambeau's machete cut off the creature's leg, but Flambeau could sense that the machete was reflected backwards as if it had just slashed through indestructible steel. Flambeau finally grinned after landing again, as the situation became much more interesting than the initial one. Now, the creatures fly behind the flying iron creature, as if following him as a leader.

“Ara, you guys apparently consider the most powerful as leaders too ?? Interesting !!”

Flambeau immediately ran towards the thousands of flying creatures in great excitement. A curiosity that even though he knew was only mortal and useless, but still he used to satisfy his high curiosity. One by one the flying creatures began to let out their loud and terrifying roars, then flew towards Flambeau in the form of a massive, deadly crowd. Flambeau could easily dodge the swarms of flying creatures while killing some of them of course, but he was still overwhelmed by their seemingly limitless numbers.

Hey, Flambeau, you still struggling with those mortal anomalies ?? Hurry up, they've already shined their lights this way, clown !!

“Oi oi oi, where is your faith, gran chico ?? They are there thousands like a stretch of sand by the beach, know !!”

Nihilism stopped contacting Flambeau via Star Net for a moment before finally returning again in a voice that sounded like it was getting louder in Flambeau's ear. And somehow too, Flambeau could feel that his strength had increased drastically right after Nihilism contacted him back just now.

(Sigh) Flambeau, I put you in Star Net's Synchron mode. Use the power of the red star wisely, or you could also destroy the spaceship created by mortal man as well.

“Oh, worth it.

Flambeau observed his right hand holding the machete for a while. A red glow smoldering, as if it was burning by a fierce blazing fire. During that time, the winged creatures flew towards him from various directions, forming a large circle with no gaps in all its parts. Flambeau allowed himself to be surrounded by the thousands of flying creatures, before finally blowing them all up with the Synchron power of Star Net, a direct gift from the red star.

Some of the winged creatures that managed to survive were still trying to attack Flambeau again, but Flambeau's machete slashes are now becoming stronger and more unpredictable, he said, it was full of wildfire explosions that appeared everywhere. There was no longer any hope for them to defeat Flambeau. The armoured flying creature finally took quick steps to leave Flambeau, followed by the rest. But Flambeau saw that, and he would never allow that to happen. Flambeau plugged the tip of his machete into a dying winged creature not far from where he stood, then began twirling it with the full power of the Synchron he possessed.

“Hei hey hey, the show has just started, know !!!!”

Flambeau threw the dying winged creature towards its own leader. The bodies of the two collided with each other, annihilated instantly like a collision between two different planets. Flambeau was finally able to stand up leisurely again, observing the fireworks burst in space with a feeling of satisfaction. It looks so beautiful, a fire among the eternal darkness.

And....... This clown finally proved that he still deserves to perform on stage once again.

My angel, look......... I still deserve to spin that ball of human stupidity again.

Aestus, can you see the final party of this circus show from down there ??
