WIth the System Pilon

As the system pilon watched its two projects depart for their destinations it refocused its attention to a new issue.

Quickly the system pilon began to adjust its position. It rotated itself by 45 degrees allowing another of its many faces to face the earth.

Rapidly the face began to break down and reform itself from a once flat surface to a mile long spire pointing at the earth.

Created sub directive: Cleanse the earth...

Charging...

The barrel of the mighty cannon began to glow with golden light as the system charged up the shot.

A moment later its capacitors had reached the charge necessary to affect the entire planet with the spell's effect.

Down on earth

All over the planet many of those few who had returned from their tutorials watched in awe as great domes of light erected themselves over cities and towns. The domes seemed to dip down in places however. Almost as if some places were being intentionally removed from the, protection of these golden domes?

One such individual who had returned had simply decided to resume his job at the city dump.

"I ain't got time for this shit! I have to work to do!" he stated as he began attempting to start an excavator and resume his work.

It was then that the system fired off its spell.

The briliance of the beams light was almost enough to eclipse the sun.

It took less than 1 and a half seconds for the beam to strike the earth.

From where it had struck a golden shock wave erupted and began racing forth over the planet's surface at speed exceeding mach 10!

The system held the beam on as to achieve the maximum effect.

Tens of thousands watched as the wave rolled across the earth. None could see what happened to the land it had touched, though they feared the worst.

The man on running the excavator in the city dump watched in horror as the golden wave washed over the cities dome without penetrating it. However, it kept going. It washed over the dome and quickly reached the section where the golden barrier had funneled down to exclude. This dump.

--------------------------------

As the wave passed the unprotected earth it began to erase things that shouldn't be there. This dump was a perfect place for its power to be desplayed.

As it passed it dived deep into the world until it hit the bedrock. It found many things in its way, plastic, tin can, the occational dead body, and many other things.

The wave cared little, for its job was to clean the world.

Plastics became oil, the oil from plastics became new creatures both familiar and never before seen on earth. Wood and fiber rotted, returning their nutrients to the earth. Metal decayed becoming but dust. Still the wave rolled ever onward.

-----------------------------

The man said his prayers as the wave washed over him. He turned the key once more and to his surprise the excavator started.

He opened his eyes to see a forest had sprung up around him and the golden wave was receeding into the distance.

The excavator he had complained about for months, now appeared as if it were brand new and ran much the same.

Roger the dump worker wept as he turned off the excavator, thankful to be alive.

"I guess it's time to find a new job. I think this one is no longer needed." Roger said with a conflicted smile.

-----------------

Not long after its firing the wave reached an ocean. It did not glide across the surface as it passed however. Instead it dived deep tracing along every inch of the sea floor.

As the wave passed all that didn't belong was erased from the ocean. Things such as plastic were reduced into oil and transformed into new and magical fish. It was then that some merfolk came to be, but this was also when many horrors of the deep were born.

The wave swept across the earth and achieved its goal in little more than a hour.
