From Within the Blood


(Bulwark is left with his mouth open and can't stand up)

Bulwark: Is..Is..

(Arya falls to her knees, unable to move. Joss begins to cry. A person appears from behind. She looks spider like. She throws the body of Isabella in front of the team. Her voice, female like.)

Arachne: I told you, they were an easy prey.

(Another one uncloaks himself.)

Kobra: I will activate it.

(Joss dashes but Kobra pushes a device and all their gear disappears. Joss is left naked; Arya began to feel dizzy and Bulwark's device turns to an armband.)

Kobra: A gift from the scientist Sygma.

Bulwark: ... Sygma.... He... You...

(He holds Arya)

Bulwark: You better kill us now...

(Far away from them, Vita dashes throughout the forest of Ardmery towards Yukumo Village. In the jungle, she finds a group of hunters trying to fight a peculiar Thunderwulf. The creature had lost its left eye and was limping when one of the hunters were almost ready to slay the beast, Vita dives down and protects it. While doing so, her ears could be seen.)

Hunter: W-What abomination is this!!!

(They are all full of feared as they saw the beautiful creature standing in front of them. With a growl, she sends them running away. She turns to the dying creature. The Thunderwulf roars at her, but she keeps walking, and, in her eyes, a tender gaze could be seen. Both lock on a stare and she takes out a small potion.)

Vita: This will heal your wounds, but I think is too late for your eye.

(She caresses the creature face and let the liquid down its throat. In a moment, the creature begins to heal.)

Vita: Merlin would kill me if she knew I did this.

(She chuckles and resumes her journey. She notices that the Thunderwulf begins to follow her on the land. She stops, curious and looks at it.)

Vita: Would you accompany me in this journey, my friend?

(The beast roars. She smiles and mounts it. She felt a connection and resume again, running this time on the back of a mighty beast.)

(Meanwhile, Joss tries to crawl towards Isabella, when crashing down, Bahamut comes, firing his attack although, something pinned him down. Another one, known as Big Guy comes crushing down the beast.)

Big Guy: Hey Kobra, Arachne, I found a lizard. Can I eat it? I'm really hungry!

(Joss turns to look at his partner down with his spine almost broken and in pain. Arya struggles in pain.)

Arachne: That one is of no importance to us. You may do as you wish.

Big Guy: Yay! Food!!!

(Joss extend his hand to grab Isabella's hand but its severed by a new figure. This one, silent and with a deadly gaze. Joss screams in pain as he can see Isabella turning to him, a single drop of tear running down her eye and the blood coming to him. He can hear the screams of pain of his buddy and Arya turning in the ground. Beckett on his computer begins to move.)

Beckett: Fuck Fuck FUCK! Skadi how long will it take to send a suit to Bulwark.

(Its dog answers.)

Skadi: It will be in 15 minutes.

Beckett: WE DON'T HAVE FUCKING 15 MINUTES!!! TRY SENDING IT NOW!

(The suit begins to be transported by a machine to Bulwark's location. On the island, Arachne smiles.)

Arachne: This was something foreseeable.

(Strange creatures begin to appear behind them.)

Arachne: Meet the hybrids. Creations made by the brilliant Sygma. You can be their toys. Kobra, grab Arya and leave the rest.

Kobra: You got it.

(Bulwark places Arya behind him, he grabs a long sword stands around her trying to keep track the enemies.)

Bulwark: You're not having her. I'll kill all of you myself... I'll never stop. I can assure you that!!

(Blood begins to flow out of Joss' wound. There is a big pool around him. He can hear his friend's struggle.)

Joss (mind): Is this how it all ends? My friends...my family dying in front of me?! WhywhywhywhywhyWHYWHY!!!

(Everything seems to halt in time. He just lays there, crying. The dark figure comes again.)

Figure: Will you change it?

(Joss opens his eyes and slowly rises his view.)

Figure: Will you let everything you hold dear, perish just because you don't have enough power?

(The Kid interferes.)

Kid: DON'T LISTENG TO HIM! HE ONLY WANTS YOUR---

(Powerful red chains enveloped the Kid and he falls.)

Figure: Will you still try to pester me, fake ghost?

(He turns to Joss.)

Figure: At this pace, you will lose everything, even your pathetic life. Would you change that?

Joss:...Es...

Figure: Will you allow these...these savages to come to you and ravage everything you have built?!

(Flashbacks of a family begins to appear around them.)

Joss: No.

Figure: WILL YOU TAKE DESTINY, EVEN DEATH IN YOUR HANDS AND MAKE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE PERISH BEFORE YOU?!?!

Joss: YES!!!!!!

Figure: Then stand! Stand proud, my lineage and use to your fullest the curse that has been planted on our soul! This world hates us, Destiny abandoned us. Death is our only friend.

(Joss begins to rise slowly.)

Figure: Life loath us for who we are. Stand. STAND AND SCREAM FROM THE DEEP OF YOUR LUNGS MY NAME, AND I SHALL BLESS YOU WITH MY CURSE, YOUR CURSE AND LET THIS WORLD AND ITS INHABITANTS FEAR YOU...

(Strange marks begin to appear in Joss' body.)

Figure: LET THEM ABHOR YOU...

(The figures eyes turn deep crimson and from his mouth, blood begins to drop everywhere.)

Kid: No....Joss...

Figure: LET THEM FEEL, THE WRATH OF THE LAST DEADMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Everything resumes. Arachne and Co. stands looking at how Joss rises like a zombie, accompanied by strange marks around him.)

Figure: Say my name, and my whole powers will be yours.

Kid: NOOOOOOOOO!!!

(In a soft voice, Joss answers.)

Joss: Amell, The Deadman...

(Joss bites his wrist and let the blood fall on Isabella's wounded chest. The Silent guy took some few steps back. Everyone looks at him puzzled. Joss' eyes were deep red like blood.)

Figure: Blood...is life.

(Joss' blood rushes, healing Isabella's wound rapidly. Her heart begins to regenerate alongside her lungs, veins and arteries.)

Figure: Blood...is connected to everything.

(Bahamut begins to struggle, to turn from side to side.)

Big Guy: Hey food! Stop moving!

Figure: Blood...will always find its way, even if you are far away...

(Vita falls out of the Thunderwulf and begins to feel pain. She begins to change; her hands begin to turn into claws and her tails begin to grow.)

Vita: Go away...

(The Thunderwulf tries to come closer to her.)

Vita: GO AWAY!!!!

(Her voice sound beastly.)

Figure: Or even in the afterlife.

(He turns to look at the Kid, who slowly turns back into Amelia. She screams in pain as all her body begins to turn black.)

Figure: Today, the last Deadman is born.

(A grim smile appears in his face as Joss and all those connected to him, their eyes turn completely black.)
