“Somebody… help!” a cry filled Screech’s mind, images of Tiny and Burst laying on the ground, barely breathing.
“Anyone!” Screech turned his head to see Shield crying above her parents’ impaled bodies.
“Screech… Help” The battered and worn out bodies shook as they all attempted to stand back on their feet. Screech forced himself to his feet and ran forward with a silver glint in his eye.
“Wake up, deserter.” A familiar voice causes Screech to turn back sharply. His grandfather and teacher stood to face him. “Use it.” They said simultaneously.
“We’ll all be slaughtered if you don’t.” The bodies called out. “You’ve lost your children, your wife, your entire family, and those who raised.” They laughed as images of their burning villages came to fruition. “Don’t you remember your first taste of war. When they invaded our land, and slaughtered your parents?”
“Stop.” Screech drops to his knees.
“Do you not remember the bloodshed, the slaughter of exactly 327 soldiers in only an hour 3 minutes and 19 seconds? Or maybe, just maybe you were too caught up in your blissful savagery to remember it all.” Tiny, Burst and Shield giggled as they placed their hands around their throats.
“STOP IT” Screech screamed and pleaded as their necks slowly twisted and cracked until they dropped dead.
“Use it before it’s all too late for your new family.” Grandfather grinned as a blade ran through his chest. “DO IT!” He screamed as a face appeared behind grandfather.
“You…” Screech grinds his teeth as the smiling reaper appears once more, the same soldier who murdered his wife and children.
“Aww, you remember me.” He smiled as his cheeks turned a peachy red. “Let’s have some fun, old buddy.” He grinned and forced the blade upward and through the old man’s body. “Now come and show me what you got.” His grin reaches ear to ear as he dashes forward, cutting down the bodies of everyone in his way.
“ILL KILL YOU!” Screech’s eyes turn a greyish silver as they clash and his mindscape crumbles. A smile encroaches onto Screech’s face as he and the reaper exchange blows.
“Wake up!” the plead causes Screech to desperately turn once more to see his team and family bleeding out and standing on top of them is the reaper once more.
“I’ll say this for you once more since you can’t seem to get it through your thick skull.” He stares at Screech, flicking his lighter on. “If you don’t wake up.” He drops the lighter, causing the bodies to ignite into charred corpses. “This is what’s going to happen.” He chuckles as Screech wakes into a cold sweat. He immediately sits up and clasps his face in one hand. I… I can’t feel my face… what’s going on? He stands up and stomps around feeling absolutely no vibration except, for one thing, a minuscule vibration. Where is it coming from? He follows the vibration toward the corner of the room and picks up a small black rod. What if I… He snaps it and is immediately bombarded by the sounds and vibrations of the war taking place in a mile radius around him. FUCK, how’d they find us! He leaps from his window and propels himself directly to the training facility.
“He’ll be here soon.” Burst stands, defending Tiny from Lenny. “You won’t even last a minute against him.” He breathed heavily, forcing his body to stand tall. I’m at my limit… “What else you got, asshole” His breaths become shallow.
“I guess I couldn’t just leave you unconscious.” He sighed as his tentacles combined into one and slammed downwards. “Goodbye, little bro-” The wall behind Lenny broke apart as a desperate Screech cracked into his back, sending him through the back wall.
“You okay!” Screech cries out as Burst smiles and collapses. Screech turns to see the bodies of two trio members, bleeding out of each cut and hole with lifeless eyes. I was too late… I’m so sorry Shield. He walks out of the newly created hole to see Lenny scrambling to his feet. “If I were you, I’d leave while I had the chance.” Screech raises his arm and aims his palm at Lenny.
“Wow” He breaths “You really are a monster.” Lenny stands and plants his feet into the ground.
“Well let me see just how strong a True Zodiac truly is.” His heartbeat races as vibrations build into his palm but, as he begins to open his hands, electricity runs through his body forcing his muscles to tense up and locking his movements.
“Thanks for falling into my trap.” He pants “I’ll be taking my leave now before.” He turns around quickly and runs off.
“This is for the Trio” Screech fights his way through the paralysis and opens his palm, letting out a tremendous amount of vibration. Lenny turns around as the blast is in meters from slamming against him, He brings the tentacles out and uses them to defend himself from the strike.
“Damn your tough, but you can-” Lenny, unable to block the attack, feels it rip through his tentacles. Damn, I don’t have a choice. A small vase appears on Lenny’s chest and defends him against the overwhelming force. Come on! The vase holds back the vibration before it ultimately shatters. “FUCK!” He screams as the blast plummets into his stomach and sends him 34 miles away from the base.
“That’s one” Screech fires a weak vibration down at the ground, destroying the device and releasing him from the electric prison. Everyone else is still in danger, one Zodiac in the air, two inside the kitchen, one has just made their way into Fang’s room and the last one is on the field thrashing everyone in her way. I need to go and stop that one first. He turns but immediately feels the recoil of using that attack. I can’t move anymore for this moment. Just survive for a bit longer.
“Use it or they’re going to die.” It echoes in his mind once more.
“Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it Use it USE IT USE IT USE IT USE IT USE IT USE IT USE IT USE IT USE IT USE IT USE IT!”
USE ME!
