Dreamworld...

Inside of Alex's mind, he looks around to see...nothing. There is nothing but a black void. There is no direction to go to...no direction to be lead to. So there is only one way to go to...the direction he's facing before him. Forward.

Alex than walks in a pitch-black void. He walks as he looks around his surroundings. There is nothing to be seen. No trees...no buildings...no people...no newborns and Dana Mercer. He is unsure where he is going. All that he knows...he came her for a reason. For a purpose.

But the thing is...what is the purpose he seeks? Why is he appearing in this strange void of? Well...he's about to find the answer to his question soon.

When he continued onward...he than heard something...it was the sound of someone coming towards him. Even though there was no ground to walk on...it's like it's present. He than looked down at the ground...and saw himself...crying with unnatural black tears.

Not only is he crying out those black tears, his face now has veins showing, as well as half of his eyes now turned Red.

"Why does it look like that I'm crying?"

Alex tried to wipe the tears away, and saw that they are not going away. Deciding that it is not worth his time, he than continued onward to wherever he must go.

As he continued walking...to find the source of the noise...a voice spoke out.

"HELLO...ALEX MERCER. IT IS NICE TO FINALLY MEET YOU PERSONALLY."

This caught Alex's attention...as he looked to see who it is that spoke out. When he looked in front of him...he saw a humanoid being, standing much taller than him. But the thing was still covered in shadow and is far away from him.

When he came to Alex much closer, however...he saw what the entity looks like before his very eyes.

It resembles Alex when he is inside of his Evolved Form. But the eyes are glowing a orange color instead of the usuals red color. The claws are also activated. The entity was also looking directly at Alex's Eyes, who has froze a bit in fear, before he spoke out to the strange entity that is standing before his being.

"Who...Who are you?"

He spoke out to the entity, the. The entity chuckled as he smiled. The wag he now smiles...it was so...so menacing. It was though the virus wants to consume not just his body...but his soul as well.

The teeth is also disturbing...although he shape of the teeth is normal, it was black with orange veins on it, similar to the Blacklight virus. And even worse, when he opens his mouth, there is teeth all over the inside of his mouth, even on his tongue...if he has any. All the teeth seem to make rows...all the way down to the throat itself...making his mouth looking like a meat grinder.

The entity than goes beside Alex, as it spoke back to him.

"WHO AM I?...HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE...IS IT NOT OBVIOUS...ALEX MERCER?...I AM THE BLACKLIGHT VIRUS. I AM THE ENTITY WITHIN THE BODY YOU USE...THE INSTINCT BAG OF MEAT AND FILTH OF INTELLIGENCE YOU HAVE. AND FINALLY...I. AM. YOU."

The way it spoke...it was like as though a meat grinder was breaking down his words backwards, instead of leaving it open intact, when he spoke out. He than spoke out something that caught Alex by surprise.

"I BELIEVE THE REAL QUESTION SHOULD BE THIS...ALEX. THE REAL QUESTION IS...ARE EACH OF US TRULY THE SAME...OR IS ONE OF US A FAKE?"

As he spoke that out, he instantly morphed into a more disturbing form.

His teeth than suddenly became jagged and sharp, as they became uneven, with the points of the teeth going in all directions. His skin even began to morph and cover the ribcage, as his organs are exposed for Alex's vision. The spikes on his back also became more jagged than before. His mouth...it distorts into a nightmarish grin, as it spreads from ear to ear, as blood leaked from the sides of the mouth. The skin around Alex's eyes melt away, revealing the muscle underneath the skin itself. The claws even turned a bit nightmarish, as spikes appear at the tips of the claws itself, and resemble claws in a similar fashion. Even more appeared on the small tips, and more appear in an infinite loop.

Before Alex could began to say anything...

"GAAAHHHH!!!"

Outside world...

He than woke up, and saw that he was in the middle of a forest of some kind. He than looked around, and than began to try and recall what happened. Apparently, he was able to get a piece of the modified Blacklight virus from the foundation, but the foundation chased him. Alex put up a good fight, but one of the Foundation's missiles was able to shoot him down, even though he activated the shield for protection.

As he looked around, he sensed that none of the Foundation members are present in the forest.

"I guess they couldn't find where I hid. Lucky me. But I need to go before anything else gets worse."

He than stood up, and as he began to walk, he heard someone.

"Child of Yaldabaoth. We have been expecting you."

He stopped, and turned to see something.

(BEFORE ANYONE ASKS, NO, THIS WILL NOT BE GRAND KARSICT ION. IT WILL BE FROM A PICTURE DIFFERENT FROM THIS)

He instantly recognized it, the entity that he is seeing behind where he is positioned. Mercer than spoke out, as his eyes glowed red

"You...you're that thing...that man that I met as a child...the one that made me who I am.

The entity nodded, as his very similar gnarly hands gripped on his course red staff. An eye, which rests on top of the staff itself,  looks at Mercer in the eye.

"Yes...Mercer. It is I. Your mother wants to see you right this instant. So please come with me."

He held his hand. He looked at the entity for a bit...before he grabs onto the entity's hand. Than...the entity's eyes and Mercer's eyes than began to glow red even more than ever before.

Mercer closed his eyes, as he is unsure when the glowing will end. For once, the light is actually painful to him, and not even he could look at it. It as though countless suns are unleashing a supernova in his face by 1,000,000 feet away.

After about a minute or so...the glowing stopped. He opened his eyes...as he gets to see where he is at now. It seems to be a rural village of some kind, as there seem to be people...that are mostly to barely humanoid.

The citizens looks at Alex, and easily recognized what he looks like.

"Our messiah of flesh..."

"He is finally here."

"Your savior is among us."

"Our lives can now preserve."

Alex looked around. It seems that he's well known in the village that he's in. He than spoke out.

"What is this?"

The entity turned to him as he spoke out.

"This is the village of Sarkicism. This is where villages have people worship Yaldabaoth. What part we are in is of Proto-Sarkicism, the most peaceful of the followers. However, it's in Neo-Sarkicism that we need to go to, as their village has the magic we need to communicate with your mother Yaldabaoth. However, we must not be seen, Mercer. The Neo-Sarkic cult will try to capture you in order to harvest your flesh. There is a hidden member of the Proto-Sarkic village in one of the Neo-Sarkic cults."

Alex nodded, as he than made a black clear over himself, and puts the open front parts of the cloak closer, so no one can see the front side of his entire body.

While it isn't very foolproof, it is the best he can think of, and even saw a symbol of Sarkicism, which he puts on his back.

Alex is actually glad when he made a cloak to cover himself, because he gets to see what the village is like in Neo-Sarkicism. The way they did stuff...it was so disturbing that, he's be lucky that he only consumes people instead of doing what they are doing. What is happening...is insane. During the time when he is waking to the temple, some of the Neo-Sarkic cultists looked at Alex with suspicious glares, as if there is something odd and familiar about him. Alex has to walk out of the area fast before they could make question attempts on him.

As they continued walking, Alex gets to see decomposed bodies beyond recognition, as well as organs scattered on the ground. He even stepped on a heart, which squirted fresh blood. But Alex doesn't care this time, as they are about to be near where he is going to meet Yaldabaoth.

When they reached the temple, a priest and a priestess than comes out, holding onto a staff of some sort with a symbol at the top front of the staff.

The 2 followers of Yaldabaoth than bows before Alex, as Alex comes before her.

"Can you lead me to Yaldabaoth?"

The 2 followers nodded, as she stood up. Alex turned to the entity, who nodded their head, telling him to go. Alex turned, takes a deep breath, and than begins waking forward.

Inside of the temple...it was very...very unusual. Instead of stone and brick, which was shown from outside, it was fleshy and organic inside. Obviously, Yaldabaoth, it at least the followers of the flesh goddess must have made the temple the way it is as a way to honor her, or praise to her. Alex is lucky James isn't here to see this, or he would have freaked out at what he is seeing. Not freak out in fear, but freak out in rage.

As Mercer and the others walked inside the building, he sees a symbol that is on the floor.

The symbol has a bee that is above at what appears to be an infinity symbol of sorts. Next to the circle are 2 smaller ones with eyes on the back of hands.

The Priest and Priestess than goes to the circle, and crouches down. The Priestess takes out a knife, cuts her thumb, which she finds as unfeeling, and dips a bit of her blood onto the circle. The circle glows, as the priestess spoke out.

"Leader Yaldabaoth, your child, the Blacklight Virus, is here."

As she spoke out, the priest spoke out to her.

"Why will your command be for us both, our goddess?"

It was silence, at first...but than...a voice spoke out.

"LEAVE...SO I COULD TALK TO HIM BY MYSELF."

The 2 bowed, before walking away out of the temple, and fast. Mercer than looked down at the floor, and see that the circle is glowing even brighter than before. Than...a dark circle lining than began to spread, as stars and galaxies than began to be shown beneath him. The void around the Earth called Space...which is usually black, is shown to have a Blood-Red color instead. Some of the galaxies are also unusually red. As it moved to the side of the walls, the walls themselves disappeared, as the ceiling, which is the last thing present, is now gone seconds later.

After the processed is finished, he finds himself...face to face with his mother for the first time in 2 years.

His mother has changed form, since he has last seen her. Her horns have changed, and has a mouth going vertically across her torso. There are tentacles and wings at her waist, a demonic halo, a 3 extra right arm, and a left arm blade.

As Mercer looked up, he saw that his mother was looking down at him with what seems to be a face of appreciation, he also seemed to be waiting for Alex to do something for her, which Mercer isn't sure what's wrong. Mercer than realized that he was being disrespectful towards his mother, and bowed to her in utter respect. He than spoke out to her, in case she is still angry with Alex's disrespectful ness.

"Mother...it has been a long time since we had last met."

Yaldabaoth puts a hand on her child's head, as she spoke out.

"It has, my beloved offspring. It is good to see you alive and very well. You have a long way to go, I see. However...even after you get rid of my creations of disappointment, my Red Death, there are many things that are much more dangerous than what you are trying to destroy."

Alex looks up at his mother, as he spoke out.

"What do you mean exactly, Mother?"

Yaldabaoth closed all 6 of her eyes, as she gets near to her child. She puts to fingers onto her child's head...and shows visions of future events to Mercer.

The visions are very horrifying. One of them is about an entity trapped in something, and waits behind a gateway of some sort. The other vision, one that comes before curing 610, is of a entity with flames of life. The last one, however...is the most horrifying. In unimaginable horror with chains around it, a demonic force beyond human comprehension. An ultimate incarnation of all the evil's in Existence...with only one purpose: destroy.

When the vision's end...Mercer was shocked, as he spoke out.

"What...What was that? That thing I just saw at the end? It was unlike anything I've ever seen."

Yaldabaoth, who closed her eyes, than spoke out.

"That is my nephew. He is a entity what wants to destroy everything. And by everything...I mean all of creation, which would also mean the end of me as well. I cannot tell you who he is yet, until you meet him. But when you do...it will be the most difficult battle you will get yourself into, since it is unlike anything you have every fought in your entire life."

Alex was shocked, as he can't believe he has to face his own cousin in battle. He than looked down, as he looked at his hands. As he began to think, he mother puts a hand of reassurance on his shoulder, as she spoke out.

"Do not worry, my beloved offspring, you can succeed. I know you will. I shall aid you when the time comes. You just need to wait for me when you are ready to face 'him.' I will be there for you."

Mercer looked up at Yaldabaoth and smiled, as he nodded. Yaldabaoth smiled as well, but than turned into a bit of a playful smirk.

"And Blacklight, my child, there is one thing I must say to you, before you must go."

She than beckons her chins to come closer, so she could whisper inside of Mercer's ear, which must be something that's very important.

As Mercer leans in to here what his mother wants to say to him, she whispered something that made him shocked to the point of him saying this.

"MOTHER!! DON'T SAY STUFF SO EMBARRASSING SUCH AS THAT TO ME, EVER!!!!"

Yaldabaoth giggles at the way her son acts, but that's okay. After all...what she said to him...that's secret, as she sends him back, with Alex having a blush present on his very face, and has to put his hood down to cover his face while he gets out of the temple very embarrassed. Mercer, however...still has a long way ahead of him. And he needs to be ready. Mercer...will need luck to whatever lies before him...as well as his friends. Because what might happen...

...will becomes the Blacklight's greatest nightmare.
