Chapter One: Its Dark Servant
It was night. A skinny teenage boy wrapped in ragged clothes named Derek walked his way through Perdido Beach. He had just left his house, called by a nightmarish voice in his head to come to the crumbling ruins of the abandoned mineshaft that he has heard of from the other kids around town. The rumors were scary. No matter how much he tried though, he could not block out the voice, the evil sinister voice that certainly didn t belong to a human or a freak saying:
Come to me.
He eventually came to the outskirts of the town. He looked back at it. It had been about a month since the last battle in the town. He remembered watching the town burn for what seemed like forever. He remembered watching the long dead Drake and his whip hand marching through the city laughing like the maniac he was. Derek remembered it all. And looking back at the city he felt an ominous feeling that he wouldn t be coming back any time soon, and wasn t entirely disappointed by that. He then set forth in his journey to the mine.
The crumbling remains of the mineshaft were coming into view. Just one of the many relics of battles fought for power caused by the many power struggles between good and bad, freak and human, Coates and Perdido. He eventually came to entrance of the mine, or what was left of it. It seems what he heard about Caine was true; he really could move a mountain. He felt leaded underneath the mass of rocks yet he could find no way in. Time to leave now he thought to himself.
Keep going the eerie, dark voice said.
He hesitantly went forward and discovered to his surprise, a deep hole with a rope going into the mine. He didn t want to go in, it seemed to generate a sense of pure darkness and made him panic, but a greater force pushed him towards the hole and down the rope. When he reached the bottom he realized that he was close to the thing that called him there. He could feel it is his mind, in his body, in his fear.
I am the gaiaphage, come to me.
He went deeper into the mine and started shivering. The place was getting colder the closer he was to the deepest part of the immense mine. The boy was immersed in pitch black. He had no sense of where he was going. He was shivering from the coldness of the mine. He eventually found himself in the deepest section of the mine. It was a huge unnatural seeming cavern. The walls glowed an eerie radioactive green. There he saw a huge hole in the middle of the ground that was seeping a multitude of tiny crystals radiating a green glow. It was here where he could feel its presence the most. He became one with the monster momentarily. He knew its pain, its hunger, and its power. Its body was forever broken but it was still strong, stronger even than Caine and Sam. Then the beast s power broke from the mind of the boy and spoke to him.
I knew that you would come. You will now work for me, simple human, the voice spoke, its voice sounding like a thousand pieces of metal shifting, I need of your assistance.
"Wh-wh-what are y-you?" he managed to stutter out. Every nerve in his body screamed him to leave, but he was frozen to the spot.
I am the gaiaphage; some of you humans know me as the Darkness. You are to be my most loyal servant. Do as I say and you will be rewarded. Do otherwise and I will kill you.
"Rewards? What kind of rewards?" Derek was getting interested. He forgot about his fears. He was always into being rewarded.
You will get powers, like those you call freaks. You will never go hungry, and I wont kill you.
"What do I do first, master?" How could he resist? He always envied the people with powers at Perdido Beach. And it promised no hunger. That alone would of sealed the deal. That and living, "Your wish is my command."
I knew that you couldn't refuse. Your first task is to seek out a kid. I sense that he will of great use to me. He is located in the Santa Katrina hills. Find him and bring him here. He might resist so can have this power for now. The crystals started swarming around Derek. He screamed in pain as the crystals took hold of him. Then he felt the power of the gaiaphage once again. This time though, he was able to hold on to some of it. It left his body and went back into the hole. He couldn t feel the suffocating presence of the Darkness anymore. He sighed in relief.
I can t believe that just happened, the boy thought to himself as he started leaving the cavern. His previous fear had returned, Note to self, don t get on its bad side. He walked a little bit more towards the entrance of the mine. The he realized that he didn t know what his power was. He wondered how it happened. Then his hands started changing. They were changing into swords, clubs, and other various weapons.
Cool, now if only I could get it to stop changing, at that moment the shifting stopped. His hands were perfectly melded into twin swords. He slashed at the dark around him. He heard a resounding swoosh. He could feel the air move at the power of his swing, I like this. I like this a lot. I wonder what other powers I will get if I get that kid. With that thought he transformed his swords back into his normal hands and climbed the rope.
When he got to the outside he saw that the sun was rising. He looked at it once and headed north, to the Santa Katrina Hills.
Xhardimoltz: How was it? Good? Bad? Evil?
Cami-chan: I didn't read this but it's stupid.
Darkness: Review or I will enter your head!
