part 2
i stare long & hard wondering where i have seen her before.
she disappears into the darkness like Riddick does, i follow after her.
over to Jodan
he's walking around & sees a whole bunch of prisoners staring at him with a serious look. Jodan stares back, and continues walking.
a few hours later. all the prisoners, including Jodan & i, were being chased by limestone tigers that the mercs had set free in the hold cells.
people were scrambling left & right, pushing & shoving each other down & out of the way. it's every man for himself, you know....
on to me & Jodan. we both bump into each other right when two limestone tigers cornered us near a wall, they started snarling & staring us down. we stared back. soon enough, one of the prisoners walked by as he was running from another tiger & saw us petting the two limestone tigers that tried to attack us, while the tigers sat there, letting us pet them.
"guess it's our animal magnetism." i said.
the tiger walks away, then growls and looks the man, jumping at him making him flinch.
a half hour later, x grim reaper x ran away from the tiger, & was caught by three of the prison guards holding her at gunpoint. she reaches for the sky, turns around puts her hands up against the wall, & the black prison guard frisks her to see if she has any concealed weapons.....
she drops a marble filled with concentrated essence of motor oil in it, it releases onto the floor from the glass sphere, the guard backs up & slips on it, falling back on the one behind him.
she quickly turns around & knocks the gun out of the guard' hand, sweeps of the ground, the one on the ground get up, running at her, she levitates in mid-air & spinning kicks them turned sideways, takes a long stick & tries to choke the guard with it, while she was distracted, the third guard creeps up on her and knocks her out temporarily.
she wakes up & she's being held up by two of the guards, while the first one is wondering wat to do with her.
i walk in, and say "don't touch her."
the first guard turns around & the other two look up. "Who r you?" asked the first guard.
"Don't worry about. all you gotta know is that I’ll give you five seconds to let her go."
"or wat? you'll kill us? with wat? you don't have your weapons."
"there's one other weapon i have," i say as i transform into my werewulf side while the guards r still laughing.
i rip the heart of the first guard out of his chest, and hold it up to him so he can see the color of it as he dies. he falls to the ground hard, i throw the heart on the ground & reveal my werewulf claw covered in blood.
the other guards ran off. i transform back into my normal self.
"nice trick. all those times i spent looking for you, must've been hard for you."
i walk up to reaper angry as a bull seeing red. i hold up to a wall by her shirt collar. "WAT THE HELL'S YO PROBLEM, WOMAN?! i risked life & ********' limb trying to keep you safe & this is how you return my favor?! you know better than that, reaper!"
"Reaper's dead, she was holding me down like dead weight. didn't cut the mustard," she said as she kicked me in the chest. i flinched, released her, & she escaped from my grasp, she looks back at me and says "the name's death monger Shana, now. it'll do you some good to remember that."
day two is where things get juicy, today is when the tables turn.
the warden ran the numbers again. "i ran through them again & i believe i can part with 9.5k."
"Alright!" said barley.
"but i have some bad news... i think you're lying to me, there's an second party involved in this whole affair."
"wat other party?! we're work alone."
"carbon ion tracers picked up a large object of unknown origin heading our way. do you know these people?"
"Never seen them before in our lives."
"they originated from Zelos prime where you said to have captured the two bounties."
"listen here, space junky. we covered our tracks after hightailing our asses off that rock. there's no way we could've been followed by them."
"You stole your 9.5k bounty from them?! the same them who took my brother & my family?!"
"just give us our 9.5k & we'll leave."
"no no. it's not that simple," he says snapping his fingers ordering his men to raise their guns.
barley & his crew pull out their guns as well.
meanwhile down below, I’m looking up the warden's bunker above.
"What you looking at, wulf? asked Shana.
"a blood-bath," i respond.
soon enough we all see some explosion, hear gunshots , & stuff like that coming from the bunker above us.
we, Shana, myself & a couple of prisoners, make it up to bunker after the battle.
"as far as i can tell, the blood-bath started because the warden & his men r spooked by the arrival of the nyrovenges. which means they're coming for us."
what r you, Sherlock Holmes? how the hell do you know that & you weren't up here."
"animal instincts." i reply.
"so wat do we do now?" asked Shana.
"we get the heck outta here. that's wat."
"but how? we follow them through the underground route, they'll kill us, surely."
"there's another way, Shana." i say pointing to the hatch where the vent is.
"no way. not out there. we'll get caught in an avalanche."
"it's the only way i see unless you want the nyroes to come & kill you.
here's the deal, as long as we stay out of the sun, we won't see any avalanches. keep 3 miles ahead of the sun. if you can't keep up, don't even try, because you'll just die.
quarter of an hour later, we gathered up our weapons & move out onto the snowy terrain. we begin running 3 miles ahead of the sun, an ominous theme song plays as we run through the snowy trenches. the others lost sight of me.
"wulf? WULF?! WHERE R YOU?" shouted Shana.
i signal to them from the top of the end of the trench. i pulled them up to my level one at a time, then we continue running. after an hour of running we reach a slope on the mountain we trekked. the sun was closing in on us.
"no time to waste, mount your boards & let's shred."
we lay down the boards jump on, & kick start our way downward.
(take it all - by trust company fades into play as we shred the slope)
it had turned into a race to see who will reach the bottom first, we swerve left & right dodging trees, boulders, & jumping piles of snow like on a ski jump.
suddenly the suns caught up & a solar flare struck the icy snow, right then and there we came face to face with an avalanche.
we speed up as fast as we can go.
we boarded across a snowboard jump & half of us pulled a 360, one pulled a 180 flip, & the others performed a reverse 180 flip twice.
halfway to the bottom, three of us made it across, Shana missed & was hanging on for dear life on the side opposite of us the other two fell down the hole to their death.
the avalanche was closing in on Shana. "WULF, help!!!!!!!"
"I'M COMING, SHANA. HOLD ON! Jodan, gimme your rope. also your jet pack snowboard. you two wait far away from the ledge. don't wait on me, GO NOW!!!!!"
fear by disturbed fades into play as i lassoed a boulder, tied the rope around myself and kick started the jet pack snowboard. i shredded at half the speed of sound. i loop around towards Shana, caught her before she fell, & looped back around towards the ledge where i started from, with Shana holding onto me, the snow from the avalanche continued towards us until it went down the hole where the other two fell to their death.
surprised by wat happened, Shana, looks at her body up and down to see if anything is wrong.
"you owe me. big time. now let's go. that solar flare can still harm us without causing an avalanche.
we pack up the snowboards & move onward towards the ship, we come to a volcano field, all the snow was replaced with ashes due to the fact of the heat melting the it. i notice a pillbox through all the ashes fall to the ground, one of the guards is aiming at us with a sniper, the only one missing was me. "where'd the wulf dude go?"
i was quietly standing on the top, reaching under the roof and placing dynamite charges on the ceiling. i jump off and join the others, but before they could get any shots fired, i set off the TNT, & blow one of them to pieces the remaining one of the two was still firing shots from his machine gun.
they close up the pillbox after the solar flare had hit the ground. we started running again. we were a quarter of the way to the ship.
up in space.........
the ship of the nyrovenges was not too far from the snow planet, entering wat was supposed to be the atmosphere, the ship slowly creeps in on us as we trek towards the ship in the icy regions of the planet, while one thing was on my mind. how come the snow hadn't melted from the solar flare?
but that was no longer a problem, because the closer we got to the merc's ship, the more the snow faded. nothing but rock is left.
i stop, & give the signal for the others to stop as well. "you hear that?"
"hear wat?" asked Jodan.
"you should be able to hear wat i hear, since we both have good ears. two GA force afterburners. made by a secret underground group, the nyrovenges." i explain.
"they're here that quick?" asked reaper.
"i did not come this far to die, you got a plan, mutant man?"
"first off f*** you, I’m a wulf. second, stfu, I’m thinking."
first it starts off, one infrared, hears our murmuring, & looks in our direction. scanning the area for body heat."
"over 100 soldiers, one captain, a 2nd in command, & the captain's wife, the devil in a yellow dress."
"1st division, check out that rock formation. the infrared will lead."
"they've found us, so now's the time for plan A. see who makes the better assassin."
"i thought you’d never come around to that," Shana says as she pulls out two claw knives, i pulled out my swords of aegis.
Jodan took out his kitanas, we all sprang into action, Shana jumped onto one of them like an ape and stuck the knives in his back, a second soldier ran at her, she grabbed him by the chest plate, turned around pinned him to the rock & slitted his throat.
i blocked with my sword as one of the soldiers came running with another tailing behind him so i couldn't see him, i jumped up and positioned my sword so it could some of the light refracting off a rock formation, to blind them, then i snuck around behind them & sliced through their armor, piercing their skin.
Jodan & i then stood back to back as four of the Mythrill guys came running' we both side kicked them in unison, then i picked up Jodan, spinning around with him as he kicked the remaining two in the chin while he spun around me counter-clockwise.
i released & picked up a gun one had dropped, i began to open fire.
as we all fought, blaket`, beldes, & lady faire deliberated over wat to do about us.
"they're becoming a pain in the donkey's rear end. we've got to figure a way to kill them."
"you just grab the girl, & I’ll set up the bait." said blaket` "lure them into dark water, they'll never return then."
we make a break for the ship after taking them all out, we were then trained in the neck. next thing we know after waking up is the fourth guy was dead, & we have a one of the Mythrill soldiers hovering over us, an elite.
we quickly jump to our feet, and draw our swords.
"put those down before somebody gets hurt. i have a message for you, beldes to me to deliver it, because it's straight from the admin himself."
we holster our weapons & listen.
"he wants to know if you want your friend back, angelpetal? if yes then she is being held captive on a forbidden planet."
"Xen5..." i say.
"you know of it?" he asked.
"bits of memories." i start flashing back to my days a guinea pig for the Gaia G-virus being in a hyper sleep tube of green liquid, scientists walking about going from place to place. "we were used as test subjects, you & i. weren't we, Jodan?"
"You were a mistake, they cloned me in order to take you out, since they couldn't."
"you take that back you hair sample baby. "
"calm down. I’ll have plenty of time to destroy you once this is all over."
"there is also another part to message. Zelos prime was completely obliterated. he's ordered me to either kill you or make you stay away from Gaia, & in return he'll life your bounty. that b*****d!!! he has no heart. i can't stand working for him any longer."
"so, y don't you quit?" asked Jodan.
"it's not that simple, if i run away he'll find me, & I’ll have to keep running."
"well, you’ll think of something."
"i just did. wulf? Jodan? i want to join up with you, together we'll bring that b*****d down."
i draw my sword. "how do we know you're not going become benedict Arnold on us? you swine!"
"wulf?! i thing we can trust him." Jodan then whispers in my ear. "besides we can destroy him first if he betrays us." "ok, you can tag along."
"we must hurry, hop in." Jodan says as we unload the junk from the cargo area.
we switch on all thrusters, turn the engine on & take off into space.
we catch up to the ship as it nears Gaia, we try to take it down before it can land, but it got the best of us & landed us on this mysterious barren planet. the planet we need to check out, Xen5.
we emerge from the ship, all we see is pitch gray cloudy skies, lit up buildings, ruined buildings, and no sign of plants trees or grass.
"here we r." i said. "Xen5."
"it's a dump, could all the neglected experiments have done all this?" asked the elite.
we walk around finding somewhere they may have hidden my girlfriend, that was the highest priority at first until we met up with some zombie Gaian scientists
((anti-hero by god forbid fades into play))
we draw our weapons and fight, i run up to them an rapidly perform a spinning kick, knock one into five of them standing behind him, Jodan, flipped over one, landed feet first, and sliced through its pelvis. then he performed an uppercut and knocked two on their backs, i spun around behind on and broke its neck, then spun around another on putting a choke hold on him.
one of them surprised me from behind and Jodan saved me by throwing a knife at the zombie's neck.
the elite had flipped over kicking the second in the head, pulling the head off the first one and spiking it into the third zombie's chest, knocking it down.
there's too many. we gotta take cover!"
"over here, in this warehouse!" exclaimed the elite.
we run inside & barricade the doors
((anti-hero fades out))
"new guy, find us some candles, lanterns or some light source."
"right away." he looks all around while we try to find a communicator.
for hours we've all exchanged life experiences, then we got a distress signal on the communicator i found.
"i think we got something... it's very faint, but i can make it out."
"we've gotta get there," i said.
"no way, it's not safe out there. besides it's a hundred miles, we'll never make it on foot." said Jodan.
"we don't have to." said the elite as he unveiled two deluxe hummer/warthogs ((similar to in halo, but reinforced with allonium siding (allonium being a rare metal discovered in Gaia 2006 [[not really]])) one .120 cal machine gun mounted on top of indestructible titanium ore, two grappling hooks for tough climbing on rugged terrain, four dirt track wheels & it seats four.
"for safety precautions, we'll need both of them. Jodan are up for this?" i asked.
"you guys tail behind me, I’ll take the lead. these things got a remote?
"only the prototype, Jodan."
"then let's not waste time, we've gotta get moving."
((view switches to outside, the garage door seen from below.))
((scene fades into soul society by kamelot))
we bash through the door jumping three feet in the air, then landing. we roll out, passing through a crowd of zombies standing there.
"WAT THE HELL?!" exclaimed Jodan, firing the machine gun, it was taking hella long to get through them all, Jodan went back in and looked for the explosives, he throws on out of the sun roof, then shoots it with the heavy machine gun.
a large fiery explosion occurs wiping out all the zombies.
we continue onward watching the burning bodies lie there like a burnt trees in a brush fire.
few minutes after, we are running from a pack of zombie mochies that came out of nowhere. i reach for the shotgun, climb up to the roof and start open firing. each of my shots kept missing, the tenth shot hit one of them 8 were left, 3 went left two went right leaving only three to pursue us. we thought they were backing off bit by bit, but we were wrong, the five attacked us from both sides, turning us over, trying to get in.
"s**t. NOW I'VE GOT TO GO BACK."
Jodan turns around and comes to our rescue.
Jodan jumps out of the hummer, fights his way through the zombie dogs and pulls us all out, we get onto the first hummer, and drive onward.
we exit the zombie city & enter a machine-tropolis. flying cars, automated garbage trucks, & androids walked the streets of the marvelous city.
"you guys find us a way off this planet, I’ll look for my girlfriend."
"roger that, wulf." said the elite.
"wait a minute y do i have to go with Mr. inner feelings while you get the good missions?"
"because she's my girlfriend & she doesn't know you, besides i don't wanna see you guys get hurt."
"but..."
"that's an order, Jodan. you said you’d do anything i say."
"b******," Jodan mumbled under his breath
they walk off looking for transport, i went in search of angelpetal.
i look through alleyways, in sewers, every shop, eating establishments, etc until the signal got stronger after coming up to a 50 building like a bank
i run in, and ride the elevator to the top.
the elevator stopped on the last floor of the building where i was greeted by a bunch of sentry bots. these silver floating 10 sided hexagonal cube.
i fired my rifle, but it had no effect. "wat r these things made of," i ask myself.
i pull out my swords & start slashing, but that had no effect either.
i kept slashing & making my way across to the other side of the floor.
one of the sentries opened up its shell, revealing a spiky lizard head with crescent moon shaped eyes & two razor sharp fangs, it came at me half the speed of the speed of sound, i slashed it using my sword of aegis, this time my attacks had effect, "so, I’ve got to wait for the armor to open first.
four of them came rolling at me at high speed, i stuck my swords out at on each side of me, spun into the air out of harms way, landed back near the elevator, they came rolling at me, armor open, i took the opportunity, & performed the running blade slash taking out those four. i let my guard down, & almost got killed, but luckily i ducked down low enough that they bashed into each other and got stuck.
i wasted no time, and ran up the stairs.
angelpetal was hanging by her waist from this pole similar to game called hangman.
i run up halfway to her, and out of the blue comes a warrior completely covered in Mythrills, wearing a CN scarf, & a blindfold. the one i like to call, the blind knight.
"i really wish you’d just lie down and die, wulf. having to destroy you is really cutting in our time."
"let her go, blind knight. it's between you & me right now."
"you want her? well go get her," said blind knight pressing the button to release the rope causing her to fall to the floor of the roof to her death.
Jodan rushes in at the speed of sound & caught her in the nick of time.
"you were saying?" asked Jodan.
"Yeh, you were saying?" the elite repeated.
"this means nothing, take her i don't care. it's just you won't make it off here alive," he said drawing his sword.
Jodan and I draw our swords
((our truth - lacuna coil fades into play))
the blind knight takes the first strike, Jodan dives in front of me and blocks the attack, performs a spinning kick, then an uppercut.
the knight blocks and socks him in the jaw.
i layed an uppercut on the knight, spun around layed another uppercut, then spun around a third time, and uppercutted him, while he was in mid-air, i had hit him with a high kick.
he fell to the ground full force.
"first rule." i say as simple as i can. the blind knight looks up at me.
"can't handle the heat, don't take the job."
he gets up and runs at me sword drawn out, holding near his left side. i rolled over and dodged, disarmed him, then i slitted his chest. as he lied there on his knees one right arm holding him up, weakened Jodan appeared out of nowhere and stuck a knife in his head, thus ended him permanently.
i walk over to ledge, and look down. the ground level of the machine city was infested with zombies, i look up and across to the building on the other side.
"only one way as i can see. straight across the rooftops." i explain.
i step back to get a running start, lift my left foot off the ground, then lifted my right foot, and leaped across. i close my eyes as i fly from one roof to the next, then i open them again I’m safely on the other rooftop.
Jodan, our mystery friend, & i hopped across the rooftops occasionally looking behind us, a piece of rubble fell to the ground floor as we jumped across the 10th rooftop to avoid the zombies below.
as soon we reached the building at the end of the block, it became to difficult to hop.
"gimme the rope, Jodan." i asked.
he pulls off his backpack, sets to the ground, rummages through it. he throws out thing he doesn't need: candy wrappers, soda cans, crumpled Xerox paper. finally, he brings out the rope, i tie a loop knot in the end of it, and lasso a pipe on the other roof, then ties a loop knot in the end where we were, and tied it to a pipe on this side of the roof.
it would've been too dangerous to tight rope across, so we did as if it were monkey bars, one hand in front of the other, we slowly climbed across not looking down as we proceeded.
few seconds after, the weight of all three of us was bearing down on the rope. slowly one by one, each thread began giving out, until the rope snapped, we screamed really loud as we swung towards a closed window on the build we were climbing across to. the sound of broken glass emanated as we broke through into the room and rolled a few feet away from the window.
few hours later...
we arrive at the sight of the distress signal, i separate from Jodan & the elite to find my girlfriend. no sign of her yet.
i keep looking, searching through grim wastes and lush meadows, i heard footsteps and immediately followed after them.
into an abandoned theater, upstairs, around corners, until the person was trapped in small room with the lights off. i flip the switch and the shadowy being in the corner of the room was none other than my girlfriend, angelpetal.
"wulf!" she said happily as she ran to me with open arms. "you finally came." she smothered me with kisses and i did the same.
"better late than never, my dear. "
seconds after we met....
petal took us to her ship preparing for take-off.
((march of Mephisto by kamelot plays))
Lady faire, wife to captain beldes, marches towards us calmly and proud
"well, if this isn't a pretty sight, the lovers reunite."
"never thought I’d meet you again. btw wat was your name?"
"Lady faire, the last name you’ll ever hear," she said unsheathing her staff.
"elite, get her onto the ship, we'll take care of this."
she lunges at us full force, staff pointed outward jabbing at us, Jodan and i ducked, i had hit her with a thrust punch, Jodan came from behind her with a spinning kick.
lady faire starts walking on the walls like in the matrix movie, and landed a mid-air roundhouse kick to my jaw rendering me temporarily unconscious.
she stabbed at Jodan, who blocked with his katana, spun around once and cut off a piece of Faire's dress.
"you sure don't waste time with words, do you Jodan?" she asked right before she performed a sliding kick that made Jodan flip over her head and land on his back.
i woke up, got up and ran at her, she noticed me charging at her and held out her staff, i spun around it, and kneed it right through the center and broke it, she throws the broken staff down and does a flying punch, which i blocked by grabbing her arm, then i twirled her around and released. she fell right towards the building behind her and got trapped under the rubble crashing down towards her. at that given time, she was dead in an instant.
i layed a rose on the rubble where lied permanently, then both Jodan and i got onto the ship, and took off into space.
((the song fades out))
meanwhile on planet Gaia....
the nyromonger race were prepared to annihilate the entire race of Gaians with their super weapon, a burning red laser that will burn into the earth, deep, deep down to the core and ignite the magma to the point of worldwide volcanic eruption.
all the nyromonger soldiers boarded the mothership, including yours Jodan and yours truly.
we both bumped into beldes as we all made our way inside.
while angelpetal met with the wife of my old friend. my deceased friend.
"petal, what you doing here?" she asked.
"wulf told me to come, said it was too dangerous to follow.
"well, come on in. dinner's just about done."
back to Jodan and i.
beldes alerted blaket` that we were on the ship.
"WTF?! are you positive they're here? could just be the mind creating a fabricated dream, are you sure!!??"
"about as sure as that my wife had failed, when she gets back, i will report her failure to the admin."
"I’m afraid she ain't coming back." i say in a mysteriously dark voice.
"unless she has nine lives," Jodan said.
beldes reached for his gun, but i had already made over to his side, and held a blade to his neck. "you sure you wanna risk the same fate?" i ask him in an ensuring voice.
blaket` began to run out of the room, Jodan stopped him "where you going?"
"where's the girl," i asked to beldes.
"she's with him in the war room, near the back.
"thank you," i said.
they walk towards the door, we held them at knife point "where you going?" Jodan asked.
we then dragged them over to their wardrobe closet and locked them in.
half an hour later, near the war room.
two guards were guarding the inside of door. to draw their attention, we slashed our knife blades against each other to make a scraping noise, the stare at each other wondering if the other heard that noise, then looked ahead again.
we slashed the blades again, they looked at each other, then the third time we slashed the blades again they turned to each other, then turned around, we stuck the blades in their foreheads, busted through the door, and threw the knives at the admin, who grabbed both of them and threw them to the ground.
two soldiers came out of nowhere and shoved us to the ground, then all the soldiers pointed their guns at us.
"HOLD YOUR GROUND!!!!!!!! they came for me." he marches toward us as we stand up. "wulf ninja warrior. i have something that might spark your interest." he points to the girl in the crowd and she walks forward, removing her hood.
"(gasp) Shana."
she pauses.
"come forward," commanded the admin.
"it was agonizing at first, but once the process was nearly complete, the pain was no longer the issue. you should just give up while you're still standing.
"Shana. this is not the real you talking," i say to her.
"with his words it's almost as if you can imagine life on planet kal through his eyes."
"snap out of it, Shana." barked Jodan.
she walks towards the crowd on the opposite end.
"your friend made the valiant choice, y won't you do the same?"
"because I’m not an evil psycho like you."
the admin splits in two, runs around behind me & Jodan puts us in a bear hug curl, and flips us over him onto our heads, then fuses back into one.
((momento mori by kamelot begins to play))
the admin transforms into a small wave, divides into two and lunges at us, wrapping us like a boa or an anaconda does to its prey.
i cut us both free using my flame sword. the two copies of the admin turn back into humans and somersault towards us, perform a sweep maneuver and knock us on our backs, then does a flying punch from above, we roll over out of the way, and Jodan hits him with a thrust punch and knocked him on his back. i go in for the blitz punch and he splits into two again slides past me. now there were three of him we had to worry about. we take out our swords and start slicing and dicing, but that only made things worse, because multiplied and multiplied until we were finally outnumbered. all his clones dog-piled on us. "you're not strong enough to defeat me."
just then a sudden burst of ice had hit the admin and his clones, freezing them on top of us. next, the elite guy who helped us rushed at the admin lightning quick and shattered the ball of ice clones into pieces. as they thawed and reformed, Shana came up and knocked them all back down, giving us time to recover, but as soon as the admin pulled himself together and got rid of his clones, he uppercutted Shana and she fell the statue holding up a spear i ran up, the admin threw a jab, which i blocked then i punched him the nose, he turned into a liquid puddle and slid over to Jodan. as he reformed Jodan had pulled out a bomb and stuck it inside the admin before he solidified. Jodan stood back and watched as the bomb went off blowing the admin up in a million pieces, a million burning pieces of liquid.
"there's no way he can come back from that." Jodan said, then looking over at me holding Shana in my arms.
beldes appeared before Jodan and i. "in this faith, he who kills keeps wat he killed.
"that's a wonderful honor and all, but... i just wanna go back to my life," i explained.
but Jodan didn't feel the same way... he assumes his rightful place at the throne.
as i walk out, Jodan calls to me. "WULF?! this will not be the last time we meet. expect no mercy from me."
"this changes nothing, Jodan." i say as i walk out.
Jodan spared planet Gaia, my girlfriend back on planet Zelos prime with the wife of my friend, and for me... i still remain alone.......
to be continued.....
