AU

The loving son.

The vengeful son.

Cole's parents reached by putting him in a psychiatric school soon after the original night of that cult out of concern. Still traumatized by that night with no one believing him but Melanie as his confidence fell. Eventually drifting apart from his only friend and stuck so far from home. He was still picked to be the next Rogue Sun but personally by the man who came before him while he was alive. Having a living mentor who taught him everything he knew in the harshest way pretending to be a father figure. In the time of his life when he couldn't be miserable he was being trained like a soldier under the worse circumstances.

A cruel ruthless man who wanted to break him down repeatedly and build him up into what he wanted. The student of a man who liked killing Supernatural creatures, using him like a punching bag. Using every insecurity against Cole, leaving him covered in bruises. The abusive training made things worse for him, as it was assumed he was harming himself by the people in the school.

Cole truly began to hate every reminder of that night and hated himself. His mentor loved to remind him of how many people were gone because of the deals made by the people sacrificing them. People who got away with the worst things for their wishes. He sent Cole after monster after monster, then after those people even when he was in over his head... Cole began to enjoy the fight.

When his mentor died outside of the suit he was left the stone, and a few items and given all the responsibility. Hating his mentor's guts and finally being cleared to return home. But in this world the stone was more unstable.. The souls inside it more of a problem for him, randomly appearing at his side and making him argue with them. Wearing him down even more.

It took a while for Cole to get back to his hometown, to get enrolled back in regular school. The divide with him and his parents couldn't be worse. Melanie so wrapped in being an influencer. Acting as the Rogue Sun for any excuse looking for a fight. To have a purpose and vent his issues while trying to be.

Starters

Bullies were there to greet him, the kid who made up that story about a cult and his babysitter. He whispered a few words in the leaders ear and they walked away terrified. He didn't want to start a fight, he wanted to finish them. Reacting to people who tried to mess with him coldly.

Scaring his parents who were desperate to connect with him, Cole telling them exactly what they wanted to hear but eventually snapping at them walking away. Asking if he could spend the night with you.

" I'm a different person now. A person who uses curse words and kicks orderlies and sees things that aren't there." He quoted the movie looking at you.

"I can carry on this fight this way.. Or I could go to his realm and finish this. It's not his world to corrupt and conquer... One day I will, Mourningstar's head's going to be on a pike. I'll need friends, need to learn enough to make it a fair fight."

"Why bother hiding the reality? Letting it all build up and make things worse in the long run. Reveal it all so one day we can be united...Or one side ends this. Follow me and we change this. Join me and we're not going to rule anyone... But changing things for the better."

You saw a possible future where Cole's mistakes, his pain, and his battle lead him down a different path. His flames changing color to that of the evil he fought against. Supernatural beings treating him like a friend, a partner, a commander.

Outside of the armor all you found was a teenager not even old enough to drive with fresh bruises that night. He was a beaten mess and an angry look on his face.

"I don't miss that miserable bastard.."

When the cult came back he was cutting them to pieces, blasting and burning them without mercy. Interested in dragging out the night to make sure they went back to where they belonged. To his oldest friend, his neighbor he destroyed her on the spot.

For everyone who got what they wanted by selling their souls, he took everything from them after hunting them down. Refusing to save them and letting it happen. Destroying them week after week.
