The Ogre

  The President Dingdong Narciso, looking out into the window overlooking Manila, sighs as Miguel and Anna had entered his office.

  “This is treason. This is a coup d’état.” Dingdong’s eyes slowly turned to them.

  “Forgive me, but this isn’t that…” said Miguel. “Your empire’s fallen. We streamed all your corrupt services. All of them. We went around going door to door in this God-fobidden palace. What we saw was seen by the public, and those who haven’t will be forced to interpret what we DID see. Regardless… it’s over…”

  “The government works for me UNDER MY payroll!” he boomed. “THEY ALL BELIEVE IN ME LIKE I’M A GOD!!!”

  Cops are shown to be arresting various armed soldiers of Narciso downstairs.

  “Not everyone.” Miguel looks up to the horizon. “I know I didn’t fix everything. But this is a start.”

  “You are unbearably optimistic.”

  “Yep,” smiled Miguel. “I am a teenager, after all!” Miguel smiles. “I’m giving you a chance to step down from office, and not be the first man to get himself impeached by the entire Philippines. A lot of people believe in you. They believe in you and treat you like a God, and they say there was a prophecy that when you enter office, you will change… everything. So, please… Stand down. Turn yourself in. I supported for you, to be honest. But I think I felt more inclined with Miss Seli Fernandez, your prime political rival.”

  “Nothing would happen to the Philippines if they voted for her. NOTHING!!!”

  “Took the words right outta my mouth. Because all I see is something did happen,” said Myrmex. “Really bad! Something really bad! I mean, there are SO MANY dead people downstairs! Sheesh!“

  “Please, Narciso. Stand down. Heed to reason,” said Miguel.

  Dingdong laughs and injects himself with a syringe of too much Splooge. “Y’know, growing up, they called me mentally below average! Didn’t wanna believe that… Didn’t even graduate college!” His voice began to become more monstrous and corrupt. “NOW I GET… WHY!!!” He sneered, now a hulking ogre before them.

  Miguel and Anna back away. “Fuck…”

  Anna yells. “WELP!!! CONVERSATIONN WAS KINDA BORING, ANYWAY!!!” Myrmex charges and jumps before dropkicking in his face only for Dingdong to hammer Anna into the wall.

  The Ogre sneers. “I AM THE OGRE!!!”

  “Shit… Guys… As you can see, I am currently fighting a giant walking talking political editorial cartoon…” said Anna, before being thrown off the window and crashing into the ground.

  Miguel follows after as the Ogre crashes out of Malacaniang Palace and destroys a building by jumping around and landing on its side, rampaging like a beast. He jumps off that creates a shockwave that topples the building down.

  Miguel teleports into the ensuing chaos and manages to save all the people about to get crushed, before getting impaled himself by a metallic beam.

  The Ogre screamed, jumping around Manila and killing civilians who could be heard screaming.

  Miguel teleports back to the Palace and helps Anna up, who coughs.

  “Miguel!” yelled Anna, seeing the impalement.

  Miguel screams and pulls it out, falling to his knees.

  Anna helps him up.

  “Go and get him…“

  Miguel nods and teleports away.

  Anna is revealed to have a wound in her stomach, and falls to her knees, shivering in pain, as the cops usher her to the ambulance..

  The Ogre roars, blasting heat vision at the city and burning so many people alive.

  The Ogre beats his chest like an animal before Miguel dropkicks from above.

  Miguel slides on his feet and takes him on, dodging and weaving away from his strikes before finally using his secret technique. He generates flames from his body and blasts them at the Ogre, but the Ogre roars and blasts back heat vision. A stand still, where both beings battle with pure brawn.

  The Ogre smiles and appears from above and hammers Miguel into the ground. “I SPENT YEARS TRYING TO BECOME SOMETHING I HATED IN BECOMING!!! BEING THIS PATHETIC INTERBRED MUTT!!! INSTEAD, I AM THIS!!! A DISGUSTING OGRE!!! A STUPID MORON IN A SUIT PRETENDING TO BE A GOD!!!”

  Miguel crawls away.

  The Ogre tears up. ”I was a God… YOU TOOK THAT AWAY FROM ME!!! YOU TOOK IT ALL AWAY!!!”

  Miguel dodges as a car crashes into the spot he was on. He jumps off only to end up before the Oge.

  The Ogre beats his chest and grabs Miguel, hammering him into the concrete. “I WANTED TO BE ABOVE!!! I WANTED TO SOAR HIGH, BUT YOU REMINDED ME OF WHAT I WAS… AN IMBECILE!!!” He grabs Miguel by the neck and tears him in half as Miguel’s tentacles try their best to reattach his upper body to his lower body, but the Ogre crushes his lower body, killing it, leaving Miguel to turn Manananggal Mode and activate his wings, flying around like a bat, only to be shot down by the Ogre.

  Miguel instantly reattaches his legs, regenerating his legs but the Ogre began running toward him.

  He grabs and throws another car at him, which he narrowly dodges with a backflip.

  “THAT WAS A '50S FERRARI YOU SICK BASTARD!!!” yelled Miguel.

  He lands on his feet but is shot with his heat vision and strangled down by the giant.

  Miguel punches him, but the giant Ogre stomps on his chest, crushing his ribs and causing him to scream.

  “They… used to make fun of me… called me weak… insecure…” grunted the Ogre.

  “Honey, you just proved… that you are…“ said Miguel.

  He places his palm over his head, and a crunching noise was heard.
