Ride the Lightning by Androidfish7
When we last left off, Blake as in ruins after what had happened to Karie, by a traitor's hand. Blake had however eliminated one of the many Commanders but his sanity is just starting to go as Scorpio, Eustace, and Eugene will begin to realize.
The next morning:
Scorpio awoke. He noticed Eustace had been keeping watch and that Eugene was fast asleep. "Good morning Eustace" Scorpio said. "Hardly seems like it" Eustace replied. "What do you mean?" Scorpio asked. "Blake must've had #$%ing 50 things of whiskey, Byron's not getting any better, and we've got no clue what to do next" Eustace said. "I shall see for myself" Scorpio said. Scorpio then took a walk to the Master Chambers, where Blake was at. Scorpio stepped in and the awful smell of alcohol immediately permeated the air. Blake looked at Scorpio. "Oh, hey, you made it back. Good job, good job" Blake said. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Scorpio asked. "What does it look like?" Blake asked. "Where'd you find all the bottles?" Scorpio asked. "Found 'em" Blake said, as he took another swig of a giant cup of whiskey. "Getting drunk out of your mind is not going to help ANYBODY!" Scorpio exclaimed, as Blake stood up. "Yeah, well WHAT IS? We are #$%ed! We have not the slightest clue where the other Commanders are, Karie's gone, we've got those crazy #$% Commanders giving us problems, the world's gone to #$% again, so if now's not the time for a drink..." Blake exclaimed. "Eustace, Byron and I might have a clue" Scorpio stated. "Save it for another time, I've got work to do" Blake said, as he passed by Scorpio. This made Scorpio angry. "GET BACK HERE!" Scorpio exclaimed, as Blake turned around, eyes widened. "I am SO sorry for what has happened to you and your loved one, and I know things seem screwed right now, but KNOW THIS! I have put my people back at my homeland in danger, without a LEADER to guide them, they could be dead, alive, enslaved, tortured, or WORSE and I don't #$%ing know! But why have I put them in that danger? I believe in you as a good enough leader where I know we will get this resolved! DO NOT neglect that decision!" Scorpio exclaimed. "Whatever, I've got better things to do than listen to some old day #$%head" Blake said, as he turned around and walked away. Scorpio then decided to take action, as he charged after Blake, and slammed him against a wall. Scorpio held Blake against the wall. "I have not come this far to lose because you were STUPID! This is not the solution! How do you think your father felt when Jasmine fell? TAKE AFTER YOUR FATHER and get back to the job he rightfully left you! This is not a choice! I will KILL YOU before I let you blow this opportunity away!" Scorpio said, as he released Blake. Blake looked up at Scorpio with sad eyes, but right as Blake was about to say something, Eustace came running up the stairs. "You 2! I have confirmed intel on where the next Commander is!" Eustace said. "Let's see!" Scorpio exclaimed, as Eustace led Scorpio and Blake to the computer room. Myra spoke out. "Confirmed intel on the Commander of Chaos!" Myra exclaimed, as Myra printed out a paper. Blake picked up the paper. "Wow, this is the exact location on the Commander of Chaos!" Blake exclaimed. It would lead Blake and anyone else traveling into the world known as Doom Island, where the Commander of Chaos reigned. It looked like a massive mess, the clouds were dark, the water was actually green, and there were ghosts with horrid faces and weapons floating all around the island. There were soldiers that had purple armor on and were shrouded in shadows, and there were plenty of them. "Wow, this is not going to be easy" Blake said. "No kidding. We're gonna need more than this small group to break those defenses." Eustace said. "I'll work on a plan later today, just... Gimme a bit to recover, we're going after the Commander of Chaos" Blake said.
