The Riseing Of Powers Chapter 4 Pt 2

No one ever found out who really killed Kraig Smith. Some had their suspicions. But in time it all faded away in people's minds. Just like everything else.

Aaron and David both graduated highschool and got into a very prestigious University known for it's International Relations program. That's what they were in. they had both been at it for 3 years. and were impatient to graduate so that they could move on and start their careers. With a goal of becoming the US ambassadors to the UN.

It was a starlit night, and Aaron was sitting outside with David. "It truly is amazing. How the stars sprinkle the heavens with their light." "Definitely. I like that one constellation over there, to left the quite a bit." "yes, it's very nice."


After they graduated College, they worked with the standing US ambassador to the UN, Micheal Hekloff. He showed them around, introduced them to his friends, and sometimes even to his enemies. Through their relationship with him they met many valuable people. Many of whom would be very useful to Aaron in the coming years. However, the greatest friendship he struck up was with the English ambassador, Gordon Chamberlain.

Eventually as time went on Micheal became older, and more bored with his position. So that after working with him for 3 years, he nominated Aaron and David to congress as his replacements. Congress agreed, though not unanimously. "David, I need to talk to you about something. I've thought about it a very long time, and I think it's time that you know." "I'm listening." "This apointment we just got, is exactly what I have been waiting for." "isn't it why we've been working with Micheal so long even if he did treat us worse then dirt?" "Well, no. I mean, there's more. What is to say that we have to stop here as being ambassadors? why not America? or the world? We've established connections with nearly every delegate here. It will no doubt be a slow process, but if it can be done, I will." "Aaron.....I don't even know what to say to you. You're talking treason for hells sake! How can I rightly join you?!" "I thought that you would be very glad to join me! You would sit beside me, and we would rule. What more could you want?" "I'm not going to say that I'm a perfect man. But Treason like that is far beyond me!! I won't join you! I won't help you in the slightest! however, I won't hinder you. For the sake of our long friendship. I will let you run your course. But, if you fail, don't say that you were not warned." "I'm sorry that you will not help. We would have been the greatest among men. But I resect your choice, for the very reason you refuse to hinder me, I will remain your truest friend. And no one will ever hold the place you hold in my heart." and with that, they parted company. Though they remained steadfast friends until their deaths.

The next morning, Aaron visited the English delegate. They talked long of Aaron's plans, who would be required, and how it should be brought about. "But we cannot talk to Sung Wa unless we have something very specific to offer him, you know how particular he is about hings." said Gordon. "Yes, he will be the hardest to convince. It will be possible though. We will tell him that he can hold all of asia, australia, and the pacific islands. And then once he's of no more use, we stab him." "This is sounding like a very pheasible thing! I never imagined that I would be a UN delegate planing the conquest of the world." "All things come in time. And this, well this will just have to come in our lives. It's getting late though. And were it to seem that we were becoming to friendly there might be trouble. Goodnight."

Aaron went home thinking of the events of the past two nights. "What would keep one man so strongly held against an idea, and yet draw another in as quickly as space engulfs all around it? What makes us who we are? Is it our Humanity? No, that isn't it. Perhaps it is related to our values. Yes, I think that is the answer. Though how two men could be so different is still amazing in itself." 'Driver, why is it taking so long to get home?" Almost as soon as he said this the car swung sharply to the right, into an ally. then the driver turned around holding a knife in his hand. He could see two other men running towards the car from the end of the ally. He pulled out his pistol, the very same one which he had shot Kraig Smith with almost 10 years ago (after which he always carried with him), and fired straight into the man's face. It hit him in the mouth, shattering his teeth and causing him to choke and gag on his own blood that was now pouring out the hole in the back of his throat and down into his stomach and lungs. Aaron threw open his car door and jumped out. Both these men were armed with knives, but he saw that one had a gun holster. They were shocked at seeing him outside of the car. Not realizing what had happened inside, because the tint of the glass was so dark. He fired at the man with the gun holster first, hitting his leg and severing the main artery. The man fell to the ground screaming and cursing. It seemed strange to Aaron that the man would yell so much, as if it were the end of the world. And as he followed that train of thought he realized that truly, it was for that man. Soon, less then five minutes infact, but why?" That was as far as he got because the other man, the one with only a knife was running at him with the knife raised above his head, looking, quite comically, like a bad imitation of a homicidal maniac in a movie that didn't have a big enough budget. Aaron fired. and all was still. There was no scream, no last word, perhaps even no meaningful last thought. The man was dead, and as dead as dead can be. He had been shot straight through the head. Without uttering a word, he died. No one would remember who he was, he was nothing. He didn't even have last words. He was dead and Death would not release the prize given him.
