Chapter 8
Back with the chapter 8 and the final part of "Prophecy Trilogy." As you will notice, this chapter involves a video and not a picture. The song "Dreams of An Absolution" kinda explains the way I approached these three chapters and gives an insight of what is to come in the next chapter or two. Without further adieu, chapter eight...
I smiled heading back home from Venture River. Aries and Travis were re-watching my thoughts as they fist bump each other.
Flashback
I arrive at Venture River as Carney, Kwin, and a male with light brown hair were standing leaning against a wall. The male wore a shirt with "M.W." on the front as well as the double zero on it. I smiled hopping off the bike walking towards them with my bag filled with my towel, sunscreen, and sandals.
"Hey guys," I said as Carney sighs in relief.
"Finally you came LoLo," Carney said as he, Kwin, and the male walked over, "We thought you would never come."
"And miss out hanging with my friends before we're seniors," I said, "Hell no, and hey Max."
The male with light brown hair smiles as he and I joined hands shoulder tackling each other.
"Sup LoLo," Max said with his way of saying my nickname, "Shall we get going or are the others going to hunt us down?"
Carney, Kwin, and I nodded as we entered the water park with Max. Carney and Kwin were telling Max about the incident with the creature at the Station as well as the mysterious fighter. I couldn't help to smile small, smile at the fact that it was me doing my job but small at the fact that I couldn't tell my friends who that fighter was. I didn't realize that until was frowning till Max pointed it out.
"What's with the frown?" Max asks as I shook my head putting on the best fake smile I could.
"What frown?" I asked Max as he looked over at Carney and Kwin as they shrugged and didn't questioned me further.
Flashback Ended
"You were thinking about the two mysterious beings," Aries said as I nodded.
"Don't you think it's a bit odd..." I asked curiously. Travis and Aries nodded at complexity with the irony of being a simplistic situation.
"Two beings in two days, each with a statement of prophetic ideology," I then stated still thinking. Aries and Travis then began thinking along with me. Our thoughts were then interrupted by a ball of gray energy exploding next to us. My bike swerved before blasting off the main road and into the forest. I rolled off it after crashing several times in the grassy dirt of the forest floor. I groan with my face in the dirt after stopping myself by digging my knees into the ground scraping them in the process.
"Ugh..." I got up after a few moments of laying on the ground. I shook my head getting the dirt off my hair and face. I coughed out dust a bit as I looked around.
"Alright who did that?!" I hollered as a low mysterious laugh then exploded through the forest. My eyes flared up gray as my swords appeared in my hands with my body in a defensive posture: one sword lower than the other with my lower body bent at the knees even though they were bleeding with grayish-red blood.
"My my... What an... Honor to be in thy presence Master Dëm," The voice said as a spitting image of myself appears holding similar styled blades, "Even though I was created to be your equal..."
My eyes widen as my body was trembling.
"Trembling...? Since when have I felt fear...?" My thoughts swirled throughout my head.
The mysterious male simply laughed at my trembling body. He walked towards me as my defensive position then stood more firmly.
"Lucifer and Jesus may have resurrected you for their purposes of helping the mortals and destroying the mystics," the mysterious male said as his smirk then turned into a darkly frown, "But you're only human..."
The male disappeared as I was caught off-guard which the male quickly exposed by punching my side just underneath my ribcage launching me into a tree. I heard the familiar "snapping" noise of one or more of my ribs breaking; I cough a bit slightly taking in air as I got up. My hand then grabs the male's foot as the male tried another kick to my side. I growled a bit as my fist cocked back then launched into the male's leg underneath the calf muscle cracking the bone underneath the femur. The male hisses in pain pulling back as I quickly sprang up throwing a right hook into the male's jaw disorienting him for a few seconds. I walked over marching a bit as I ducked underneath a backhand fist from the male; my arms then hooked around the male's gut region linked by my forearms from behind as I pulled him over myself in a German suplex. His upper chest, neck, and head crashed into the ground as both of us rolled back onto our feet with the male being more disoriented than me. My body was lower than his as I kept my eyes on his movements.
"Didn't expect you to know close combative strategies," the male said as twin machine guns appeared. A small frown appears on my face as my swords appeared into my hands. I stood up in a defensive position smirking.
(And now the part which everyone is probably gonna comment... "What the hell?")
The male began firing his guns as my body instantly increased in reflexive speed and agility tenfold; My upper body was in a dance-like rhythm as sparks flew off from where my blades were deflecting the fast, approaching bullets. In a mere second, time slowed down showing my blades actually cutting through the bullets as my blades glowed each time a bullet was sliced. I smirked as the male growled not finding a way through my defensive manner. The guns then stopped firing as I threw a black combat knife in a single motion smiling; the knife burying itself into the male's right shoulder as he and the knife were launched into a tree by a Demon's Energy Field from me.
"...I'm... Done..." The male panted out as he was stuck to the tree from the knife. I walked over after having my internal injuries taken care of by Aries. I grabbed the male's shirt collar removing the knife as I picked him up frowning.
"Innocence... Darkness..." The male said looking in my eyes, "You carry them in their purest form..."
Aries and Travis appeared frowning as they looked at me.
"I assume you're the balance," I said as the male chuckles. I slammed him into the tree causing the male to cough up blood, "Answer me!!!"
"Will you sacrifice your life and immortality for the safety of others... Or watch humanity perish..." The male said before disappearing. My eyes widen in fear and confusion. Aries and Travis noticed my hands trembling slightly as I ran back to my motorcycle which was already fixed and brand new hopping on it and taking off. Aries and Travis frowned disappearing back into me as I continued riding; the male's words were ringing throughout my head as if they were on a record that replayed over and over again...
"Will you sacrifice your life and immortality for the safety of others... Or watch humanity perish..."
Deep stuff. Well this concludes the "Prophecy Trilogy". Hope y'all enjoyed reading these three chapters just as much as I had writing them. Now, I have an idea of how to play the next chapter(s) but after staying up till the break of dawn writing... I needth of sleep!
