Prologue

            Alice Cullen quietly hummed a small tune to herself as she worked in the kitchen, preparing a salad for Bella, who would potentially be coming to the Cullen’s home after school today. She wanted things to go well, after all… Considering how dangerous such a meeting would be for everyone involved. As she started to lift up a knife, she suddenly froze. Flashes of terrible images flashed through her mind; People burning, killed with merely a touch, vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifters slaughtered in ways that they shouldn’t be able to be, even someone walking up to every single member of every single coven and killing them where they stood. All of this images were punctuated by the screams and sickening sounds of bones crunching, the smell of flesh burning, and a fang-filled grin of someone who stepped through the ashes without a single shred of mercy or guilt.

            It wasn’t until the end that she got even a decent look at the person who would be doing this. A man with silver hair, red eyes, and a coat… A long, leather duster. The final thing she heard in her head before she dropped to the ground from the crippling fear that coursed through her body was “You will be culled… Vampires don’t fucking sparkle, nor can they reproduce in the manner depicted in your shitty books and your fangirl movies. Beware… I. Am. Coming.”. Very… Very edgy.

Preparation

            As soon as I appeared in the world of Twilight, I went about gathering a few specific items… I don’t know where I appeared, but for now I simply went about gathering a few materials. First I started off toward a crafts store to gather a few pieces of wood, metal, and paper that I left with… Eh, everyone was going to die this time around and, as such, I did not care that I was stealing.

            After that little instance, and after just running off like a plebeian out of the shopping center, I went off to a clothes store and “borrowed” a suit, with tie, a pair of boots, and gloves, along with a new wide-brimmed hat to just complete the getup. If I was going on a rampage, I wanted to look nice.

            With equipment in tow, weapons hidden away in my inventory as to not draw attention, I simply grabbed a bus to Forks, Washington and, on the way there, began to create various talismans for my spells along the way. I even had time to attach one of the metal ones to Muichimonji’s hilt as, while I couldn’t access my new sword from Overlord, I still had my old katana to work with.

            I had to get to my location first… Then I could get started. I might as well take out the true target of my malice first.

Where it all begins…

            A small, cheerful hum escaped me as I stepped off of the bus and wandered away from the bus stop into town. It was about mid-day, the sound of the waves crashing against the cliffs a short distance away. “Hmm… A little lazy town… Not too bad. Good place to start. I honestly might end up feeling bad about all of this…” I sighed, my head hanging down for just a moment… At least until my hat came off and I was forced to stumble after it for a moment. Yes… I was the man that was going to destroy everything here… Really…

            With my hat in hand, I slowly put it back up on the top of my head with a hum and glanced around, my red eyes glowing faintly as I scanned the very, very small amount of area that there was around me. “Very, very small town… Hmm… I think there is an actual Forks, Washington back home. I should visit, if I ever get the chance…” I muttered to myself as I went ahead and wandered off into town. I did have a plan, but… for now… I was simply going to enjoy myself before my level of guilt started to grow.

            I wandered the quant town, taking in all the sites up until I stepped into a little diner and got a cup of coffee for myself with cream and sugar aplenty… I didn’t need to eat or drink, but I could still do so. I made sure to leave with a milkshake and, on the way out, I was stopped by a few thugs who were bothering me about not paying. I did feel a hint bad about not paying, but… considering the circumstances, it was only a hint. Otherwise, I would come back when I could pay it off… Contradictory to the clothes and materials I took, but I would do the same for those another time.

            I offered them both a slight grin, being mindful not to show my teeth. “Ah, good evening. My apologies… I do not have money, you see… Not a kind you would accept without breaking a bank in the process at the least. Please… Allow me to leave for now and I will make sure not to leave this exact diner without paying a second time.” I attempted to explain, the thugs looking at me sharply until one of the waitresses called them away… Though, she was mindful to tell me rather sharply to make sure to pay next time. I simply gave her a nod and went on my way. “Oh… Question… Where is the high school? I might be staying long enough to actually consider giving it a look… For if I ever have children.”

            They were kind enough to direct me to the place, though, it was obvious that the fact that I had a long trench coat kind of made them uneasy… Judgemental, but I can understand why. I left quickly, simply walking all the way to the high school and made my way inside. Rather stereotypical of a guy in a trench coat to invade a school to kill someone, hmm? Either way, I made my way through the building as, since it was only around 2005, so security was a hint more relaxed. Just a hint.

            I checked each classroom, glancing in through the window like some creeper up until someone actually stopped me. ‘Sir, are you looking for someone?’ I let out a small hum and offered a smile. “Oh, yes… I am just looking for the cafeteria… Was looking around until I found it was all.” I stated, the teacher giving me a rather odd look as it really did make little sense. She started to take me to the office, but on the way, I managed to actually see the correct classroom I was looking for.

            I stepped away from the teacher and walked straight into the classroom, offering all of the students a little wave while the teacher was verbally trying to stop me. “Ah, good evening, class… Today I shall be teaching you.” The teacher that was following me and the one there actually ran up and verbally accosted me, though, they did so in a manner as if there might have been something mentally wrong with me. There probably was at this point, but… I still felt guilt about what I was about to do and, as such, I feel like I was still partially sane. Knowing that I could reverse it all made things a little easier.

            Without really thinking about it, I slowly reached up to grab my hat, take it off of my head and bring it down to my chest. “Edward Cullen… Bella Needapersonality… My condolences to your families and to you both. Cut down before any of you could learn more about one another... Think about it this way… You don’t have to suppress your urges Edward. They won’t exist after this.” I stated, my red eyes actually causing him to visibly tense up. Oh right… Vampires had red eyes in this universe when they fed on human blood. Hmm… I have yet to do that, but it was rather handy that those cosmetic additions from my previous jump applied.

            The teachers started to ask who I was and, while no one except for Edward could possibly see what I had done, they both dropped down to the ground with a harsh thud, two knives sticking out of each of their skulls and necks, obviously placed to target the spinal cord and cerebral cortex, not to mention the thalamus… All locations that handled the sensation of pain. They had done nothing and I didn’t them to hurt. “Don’t worry… I made sure that it was painless.” Of course, everyone freaked out and started to get out of their seats. I slowly set my hat back on the top of my head before moving. Every one of their deaths was painless, I made sure of it… As best as I could, my absolute knowledge of the human body being quite advantage in that endeavor. I only left Bella and Edward alive, Edward glaring at me as he seemed to be fighting himself not to jump and try to attack me.

            “Still hiding who you are, hmm? I can respect that… You see, though, you will fight or you will die… Actually, you will die either way. So shall she, actually… Though, for similar reasons.” He yelled at me, asking me why I was doing this and something about the Cullens never going against the rules. “Oh, poor thing… I am not one of you. I am doing it for other reasons… Ones I will tell you later. For now, I shall actually let you run off with her. I want to see what you will do when faced with new circumstances. Honestly, I am just bored. For now… I will go about hunting other vampires and people…”

            As I spoke, the blades I had used started to vanish as I had no use for them anymore, both of them obviously quite… shaken… by what had happened. I left, though… They were to go last… For now, I moved from Washington to the other side of the United States as fast as my legs could carry me. Good thing I could not tire and, mixed with my speed, it didn’t take too long… A days travel at most, give or take a few hours as I still had to move around and past obstacles.

            I simply climbed onto a flight, using Silence and Invisibility to hide myself, and took the long flight over to Japan with every lay over involved… I was going to start on one end and go around.

            To be honest, I was quite… sad… pained even… to do all of this. The people I killed, even if I did everything I could to make it painless, had done nothing to me. Only whenever I had come across a more supernatural being did I even have any reason and they had attacked me first. I cut them down like insects, even the armies of the world could not keep up as I simply moved too quickly and hit with too much force for them to keep up. They were not designed to keep up or battle someone past a certain point of ability.

            The vampires I came across could keep up, even injure me, but they didn’t know how to fight magic and, while they could keep up for the most part, I always came out on top. It wasn’t until I made it right back to Washington that I knew that I was going to have any real trouble. A cornered predator is more dangerous than cornered prey… They don’t know what it feels like and are more fearful because of it. Not to mention their natural weapons.

            I took out one of my talismans and casted the spell within, a bit of scrying to try and find them and, once I had their location, I slowly walked toward it. “Time to finish this… It… Honestly pains me to be doing this, so… It is best I finish it.”

The Thing We Have Been Waiting For…

            I slowly walked up to the Cullen’s home, only slowing myself down by clearing the town. They had obviously fortified their home when I had arrived and, to my surprise, as I stepped up I was quickly surrounded by more than just their family…the werewolves, the Cullens, two or three of the smaller covens I had managed to look over or did not know about. Hmm… This might be interesting. “Ah… Evening… Working together, I see. Good strategy.”

            My hands came up and I gently clapped for them, my gloves having been replaced numerous times at this point because of the blood that had soiled every last pair. “I’ll have you know… This might actually be hard on me, but… You must realize that your numbers are thinned… Less than one hundred people left on this earth… Have you been keeping up with the news? If not… You can’t fight me for you know naught what I am capable of.”

            They did not speak, only growling and baring their fangs. They had the right to be angry… All of them did… I was the villain this time around, I truly was. They could kill me here… I even knew that as my battles with the others always pushed me to use magic and my other abilities and they could injure me at times, if they hit hard enough. The werewolves, if my memory served, could easily keep up and even out due newborns…

            “Edward… You asked me why I was doing this…” I held my hands up as to direct his attention to, well… Everything. He was standing just a few feet away, Bella not too far behind… It was obvious that she had turned… Probably for safety and additional numbers. “Killing everyone in this world… To be honest… I don’t know. I have already stopped your chances of creating an abomination… I have reduced your chances of survival to nearly zero… Honestly, I don’t know why I am doing this. I used to think that I had a real reason, but now… I am not so sure… At this point… I want to end it. I want to end it so that I can reverse it.”

            I let out a small sigh, reaching up to grab my hat once more and bring it to my chest. “As I said before… My condolences and apologies. I have seen so much war… So much bloodshed throughout my years…. Throughout my travels. I actually originate from a place like this. A small town. I thank you for actually letting me speak, as well. Quite kind of someone who probably hates my guts.” As I spoke, I reached over and slipped my hand into the small void that appeared before me, just so that I could pull out my katana… I left the scabbard inside, but drew the weapon itself. “You see this weapon? It’s name is Nothingness… Heh, I am much too edgy these days. Not even good edge…”

            I muttered, one of the vampires suddenly charging me. I muttered under my breath as quickly as I could “Halted Regeneration. Reinforce Weapon.”, my weapon glowing a bright yellow and then a green as I quickly brought the sword up and, in one quick strike, cut through the hand that was coming toward me. “I was giving a speech… It is rude to interrupt.” With a sharp huff, I brought the weapon down before they could react to split them in two. I wasn’t going to be creative. Not yet.

            “Gale Speed.” I stated, my own body glowing as I quickly slipped my hat back on. The battle had begun… In an instant, I darted toward the nearest one and, just before I was within range, I jumped back, managing to catch one of the wolves off guard with a bone-shattering elbow to the bridge of his muzzle before flipping over and sliding a good few feet across the ground. “Step one… Escape the circle. Step two-“

            One came from my left as I was speaking, a red haired woman who came out me with a kick, my body dropping to evade it before rolling back and snapping both legs out to push back a werewolf. There were just plain too many from what I could tell, my body moving on it’s own at this point to dodge, parry, and cut down one when I could. Hmm… Fighting them even semi-normally probably wouldn’t work here. My hand lashed out to grab a talisman from my inventory and, with a quick cast, I vanished.

            It took them a moment, but they realized I wasn’t gone as I called out “Six Fold Slash of Light!” and six fell down in severed heaps, my body moving as quickly as it could to correct itself after the use of the martial art. “I will admit, I don’t like what I am doing… But, you all need to let me finish so that I can correct all of this!” Of course, they did not listen.

            For a good ten minutes, everything was a blur… tree after tree fell around us, cut or broken down in the battle, even the sheer tops were taken out at times, leaving just a pillar of wood in its wake. We only took a break once I had created some space between us with an entire tree.

            We were all beaten and bloodied… Two wolves and only five of the vampires, including Bella and Edward, left. I actually was bleeding from various points, one of my ears having been torn off, various bones broken throughout my body to the point that I was standing with a heavy lean to one side and one of my arms awkwardly bent. I had avoided using healing magics for now… Though, my regeneration was visibly repairing all of the damage, even replacing my ear, as I spoke. “Good on ya’... Fighting to the very end… I have to respect that…” As I spoke, I slowly stabbed my sword into the ground and reached over to my busted arm, forcing one bone back into place so that the regeneration could take over with a sharp crack and a yelp from me.

            Taking the chance, the wolves leapt at me at once. I grabbed one, turned on heel, and brought it into the other to send them away. They climbed to their feet and began to circle, my hands slowly moving to pull out various talismans and slip them into my pockets as they did. “Now… To finish all of this. As I planned…” At that very moment, Not Important (The main character of Hatred) came running up, shooting away as if to try and help me.

            He didn’t stop me at first, but began shooting as my fingers lashed themselves around his wrist, the digits clamping down, shattering the wrist so that I could tear away his broken hand with a flick of my wrist. “Dude… Thanks… but, you’re actually quite evil. Going to have to put you down.” With that, I tore off his other hand, took hold of his throat and forced him down to his knees. My free hand lashed around in a blur, taking one of his grenades and slamming it into his stomach. In a burst of blood and gore, his body caving inward as the grenade was forced into his body and the clip was pulled. As this happened in almost an instant, I had time to turn around quickly and toss him toward the others.

            While the resulting explosion coated us all in gore, bone, hair, and all other sorts of debris that must not be spoken of, at least he no longer existed here and the execution actually healed me further.

            I was growing tired of all of this… I wanted it to end… I simply wanted it to end. That was not the feeling that I thought I would experience in all of this, wanting the slaughter to end so that I may continue upon my path, but that was what I felt amid the death, the guilt, and the growing annoyance of not being able to just do so. Wait… I could…

            With a small sigh, I took out one of the talismans… The wolves and vampires already moving to leap at me. I broke one of the talismans between my fingers and held my hand out toward one of the wolves. “Heart Grasp!” In my hand laid a translucent, beating heart that I crushed between my fingers, the werewolf collapsing on the ground in the spot as I jumped off to avoid the other. I ran back and around, making a return pass to grab my sword.

            They were relentless… Seeking revenge more than anything else in the world as they had nothing left. At this point, as the cause of their grief, I simply wanted to bring them peace… Ironic considering I came to cause them pain from the very start. I guess eight years of murder will do that to someone.

            I struck one down, another, and the third was left to keep my blade, impaled through the nose and out the back of their head into a tree as a reward for their persistence. The only reason I could even kill them in such a manner was the fact that their regeneration was halted, so they would eventually starve after being dismembered, if it didn’t kill them to begin with.

            All that was left were Bella and Edward, both of which who had turned and ran off after the last one had died. Their tenacity was apparently not limitless. I simply used a divination spell and then a teleportation spell to appear right in front of them, my duster picking up in the wind as I came to appear on the edge of a cliff. “Where do you think you’re going, hmm? You know that the fall and drowning won’t kill you. Please… Let me end this for you. Let me end what I have started so that your pain may cease.”

            They denied me that pleasure and, instead, attacked. They lashed out at me and, as there were only two, I grabbed both of their fists in my palms, my arms shaking just a hint from the force of the impacts. “Quant.” I stated simply before bringing a leg out to kick Edward back away from me and then brought down into one of Bella’s knees, the bone snapping out through the skin from the impact and from the exact location that I had slammed my heel into. Despite the fact that they were human, their skeletons were still shaped in the same manner.

            Next, as she brought her free fist up toward me, my free hand reached up to catch it at the wrist and give it a sharp twist and a push up, breaking her wrist in the process with a snap. “Just let me end this. Please?” I asked before tossing her off to the side so that I could turn around and, with my fingers held straight out, I plunged it forward into Edward’s shoulder as he came running up, shattering the bones and tearing his arm away in the process with a fierce pull to the left. To add insult to injury, my arm snapped over to grab the base of his severed arm and bring it around, backhanding him with his very own hand, only to toss it back into Bella to keep her busy.

            I made quick work of him, my other hand coming up soon after in one sharp jab to the side of the jaw where it met the ear, another to the side of the neck, and a third to the exposed collarbone that was currently sticking out of his shoulder. Each blow created a small shockwave through the air, his bones cracking and breaking underneath the force before I turned and dug my fingers behind his shattered jaw, making sure to force my way toward the spinal cord and, with a twist and a precise push of my digits, I removed his head from his shoulders. Though, not in the usual way… His neck and lower jaw were still connected, at least until the lower portion fell away and his body collapsed.

            All I was greeted with was a scream… A scream of anguish, of hatred, of tears, and of lose. I tossed the severed head aside and turned to face the source. Honestly… I frowned… She actually had reason to scream, sigh, and truly be sad at this point. “Bella… Just so you know. Plot armor doesn’t work here.” I mentioned, stepping up to her as she tried to force herself up to her feet so that she could move. Being the gentleman that I was, I grabbed her by her still working wrist and helped her to her feet… Only to take her by the neck and keep her there. All she asked, for whatever reason past the tears… past the sobbing… was who I was and why I had done all of this.

            “Me? Well… I am me… There is but one me… However, at this point, I am a different me. Still me, still the only me, but different. For one, I monologue more… That’s new. I suppose I need a new name… The others don’t know who I am and I have yet to give one to those I meet… I guess you could call me Tadek… Tadek Pezrin. It’s Celtic… Breton, specifically. A variation, though. To those who know me from this point out, I suppose… They shall know me as Regret. A title is to be rewarded after all and it has to be terribly edgy… Would be something more classy, otherwise.”

            After I finished speaking, I reached up to grasp the side of her head with my free hand and give her a little pat. “Still… I apologize… For everything. Even if it will be undone after this.” With that, I brought my other hand up to the other side of her head and forced her to her knees, my thumbs positioning themselves over her eyes. “Rest well until you return.” My hands came together, my thumbs gouging out her eyes and my palms slowly cracking and, eventually, with a sickening, crackling crunch, her skull eventually gave way to the pressure and, in that slow instance, she died. Simple as that… With her regeneration negated, she was almost as vulnerable as a normal human. I eventually let go of her caved skull and pushed her off to the side.

            I wiped my hands off on my duster, one of my hands moving to straighten my hat. “I didn’t enjoy that... But, I still did it… Guess I am a monster now. No… Still human… Perhaps I simply didn’t care? Hmm… Something to think upon as I continue on. Perhaps I shall go somewhere less violent…” As I spoke, a small image appeared, asking if I wanted to leave them dead or to bring everyone (Except for Not Important) back from the dead, wipe their memory entirely, and reverse everything… I didn’t have to think about it, I reached over to hit the button that said ‘Yes’ and, in a flash, I was gone and everything was undone… but, the memory of what had occurred permeates the multiverse at this point. It was undone, but… Someone still remembered, so it was to follow… Specifically, it was to follow the person who bore its memory and the horror of the acts of that he had committed.
