Death of a hero part 1: Laughing behind a mask

Dave was sat in a car with Marcus, Dave was still believed to have been killed by Chris a few years ago but he kept it on the low, he was now working for the police with a false identity but even he struggled with that. The two were outside the Benedict Institute, the facility was being rebuilt after the battle but there had been reports of drugs being hidden there.

''Charlie can you hear me?'' Marcus said into the radio. Charlie and several members of a SWAT unit were hiding in the surrounding forest.

''We can hear you, ready?'' Charlie asked. They looked out at the institute, it was the middle of the night but they could see a few lights coming from the institute.

''Go.'' Marcus said. He and Dave then got out of the car and ran to a power box, they started to disconnect it and several lights went out.

Charlie and the SWAT team ran inside, they surrounded a group of drug smugglers and it was over. Dave and Marcus came running towards them, three other SWAT groups then appeared from the shadows.

''You have no idea who you're playing.'' The drug smuggler said, he was shaking with fear. He eyes darted across the area, he was looking for someone.

''Why don't you tell us.'' Marcus said as he put him in handcuffs.

''This is Rabbit.'' Dave said as he went through the merchandise. It was a red and black bill but it was obvious, this was Magicians drug.

''Rabbit?'' Marcus asked. Most it had been cleared up after they dismantled Magicians operations years ago, this was around the time Chris was taking over the mafia.

''Somebody is here.'' Charlie yelled, he could feel a presence. A missile then flew towards them, it hit one of the three cars which then exploded. The explosion caused the other other two to go up in flames, the police fell to the ground, they had no idea what was going on.

''We are under fire.'' Marcus yelled into the radio. The drug dealer in cuffs started to run, Marcus chased him but he discovered the man's corpse, three bullets had been fired into his chest. As Marcus looked up he found himself looking into the barrel of an assault rifle, little did he know that the man looking down at him had no intention on pulling the trigger.

The man in a white ninja like outfit then walked away, he started to shoot at the drug dealers. The police started to shoot back but their bullets seemed to do nothing. The man dropped his gun and pulled out two poles, he started to hit the police and sharp knives came out of the end, he started to stab the police until he finished the drug dealers.

''Fuck you asshole.'' Dave yelled as he smacked the man with his baton, they started to fight with their weapons until Dave got smacked in the face. He had a large cut across his cheek, he was confused and disorientated. The man put the poles in their holsters and he picked up a pistol.

''You?'' Charlie said as he pointed his pistol at the man. he turned around and shot Charlie in the neck. Dave jumped up but was elbowed in the face. He let off a flashbang and disappeared.

Carrie and Stephen were sat by Charlie's bedside. He was in hospital because of the bullet to the neck, he was in a lot of pain but the morphine helped.

''You sure it was him?'' Stephen asked. He seemed a little stressed but was also acting suspicious. He didn't normally repeatedly ask questions like he had been doing but Carrie was curious.

''I'm sure.'' Charlie said, he was mumbling but Stephen knew what he was saying.

''Who?'' Carrie asked.

''A guy I used to work with, he called himself Anderson.'' Stephen explained.

''You think it was him?'' Carrie asked.

''No.'' Stephen said bluntly, he didn't even think about his answer, he just answered.

''Why not?'' Carrie asked.

''Just wouldn't be him.'' Stephen said. Before Carrie could ask, Mindy burst in.

''We have a problem.'' Mindy said.

Flashback

Pennywise was sat in his cell. He was looking at his burnt skin in the mirror, he found it sickening but at the same time he loved looking at it. This was his face, this was the face of Pennywise. Carrie had saved him when she left him to burn but she only killed Freddy Holt, she had liberated his true self, she had liberated Pennywise.

''This, this feels natural.'' Pennywise said as he felt his face. The door suddenly opened, they were controlled through a computer but it never opened before.

Pennywise stepped out and looked around, he was confused as to why the other cell doors had not opened yet. He walked up to Magicians cell door but he could not open it, inside the Magician was asleep which made Pennywise smile.

Pennywise walked down the corridor, there were no guards in sight but there was a large bag. He opened it up and smiled at the contents. He put on the clown outfit, it was a red and yellow suit with a purple tie. He put on the large red shoes and as he tapped them together he found a blade coming out of it. This was brilliant, he found a mask, it was an ordinary clown mask but it had such great detail; the pale skin, the rosy cheeks and the grin that could make a heart bleed. Once he was dressed he took the pistol that was inside it and walked out.

End Flashback

Mindy was speeding down the street on her motorcycle. Carrie was flying through the sky, they were heading for the New York suburbs that were a few miles out. They were going as fast as they could but the police were rushing to the crime scene as well.

''I can see where he is, he is hiding in the school.'' Carrie said into her microphone, she started to fly downwards towards the school. The police were surrounding the building, Marcus was going to try and head down there but that might have been difficult. She flew down to the building but the police saw her, she landed right in front of the door.

''Get on the ground now freak.'' The police yelled, they had their guns pointed at her.

''What?'' Carrie asked in shock but she was expecting a little problem with the police.

''You superhero freaks will just destroy the building.'' The police yelled, they started to ready their guns but this only annoyed Carrie even more.

''I'm trying to help.'' Carrie argued but her point would not go across.

''Then fuck off.'' The police yelled. There was a sudden flash bang and then smoke filled the area, Mindy appeared from the smoke and she ran for the door. Carrie used her powers to force them open and went inside herself.

Carrie and Mindy were walking down the school corridor, this wasn't the one in Maine that they knew, he had chosen another school. This was good, he did not know it yet so he may get lost. They were looking into the classrooms but there was nobody in them. The school was evacuated but people had been killed.

''Please, we can hear noises…..He's keeping people in the gym.'' A student cried into the tannoy, there was a gunshot and the tannoy turned off. The two looked up and started to slowly walk down the corridor.

Mindy and Carrie walked towards the school tannoy system, it was by the school reception, the room also contained all of the security monitors which were connected to the cameras. As they looked around they noticed that blood was everywhere….And a body. A young high school football player by the look of it was on the floor, covered in blood, he has a tear across his throat and it looked like it was done with a coffee mug.

''This did it.'' Mindy said as she picked up a broken mug, it was on pieces and was coated in blood.

'He has a death wish, he wants us to stop him.'' Carrie said as she looked around the crime scene, she looked at the monitors. Most of the cameras were not picking up anything but she looked for the one at the gym...And there he was, he was standing there with the tied up hostages, they were coated in a liquid, must have been petrol.

''He wants us to kill him.'' Mindy replied as she looked at the corpse.

''But we're not.'' Carrie said before Mindy could get any ideas. She knew Mindy had some guns on her but she was prepared.

The two were running for the gym. They found the entrance but they knew that if they went inside then they would have to deal with a massacre.

''Any ideas?'' Mindy asked as she got the map of the school up on her phone.

''I think there was some kind of window there, you could go up there and I'll fly through.'' Carrie explained.

''On it. I'll set up a distraction while you take him down.'' Mindy added, she ran off whilst Carrie got into position.

Mindy got up on a higher level, she opened a door into a small observation room in which the commentators would narrate the game, this was a very rich school. She took out her pistol and aimed it at Pennywise. He was stood in the middle of the room with several crying witnesses around him, petrol was everywhere. Mindy fired her gun at Pennywise and the bullet went straight through the glass and into his shoulder, he quickly took out his phone and pressed a button.

Carrie burst through the wall and was flying towards Pennywise, he pressed the button before she grabbed hold of him and she dragged him through the fuel and onto the ground. She punched him and he fell unconscious.

Whilst Carrie took down Pennywise, Mindy was still in the observation room, the computer system started to go haywire and there was an explosion inside the room and Mindy was knocked to the ground. Carrie pulled Mindy out of there before she could get badly hurt.

''You are all fools.'' Pennywise said as he stood up, Carrie was untying the hostages but she turned her attention to him.

''Why is that?'' Carrie asked. Pennywise opened his shirt, there were several explosives strapped to his chest and an old camera.

''Does this remind you of anywhere?'' Pennywise asked smiling, she knew he wanted to taunt her about the Black prom. She walked around the room, her powers untying the rest of the hostages so that they could escape.

''Yeah it does, that night is still in my dreams Freddy.'' Carrie said as she looked around. She could imagine the fire, she could imagine the screaming from that night, it was horrific but it was where she got her strength from, thinking about that night allowed her to forge it into strength.

''Don't call me that.'' Pennywise said as he got up, he was ready to ignite the bomb.

''What? Freddy, but that is your name.'' Carrie argued, Pennywise just gave her a blank stare.

''No, not anymore….I am Pennywise.'' Pennywise yelled, he slipped in the petrol and smacked his head.

''What they did to you...Cannot be excused Freddy but you cannot do this.'' Carrie yelled, she wanted to help him up but he managed to get back up.

''Do you want to know something Carrie?'' Pennywise said as they started at each other, they could hear the police swarming the building.

''Tell me.'' Carrie said. She was waiting for something to happen but then again, he didn't seem like he wanted to.

''I'm, we're not going to stop until we're dead...We cannot, we will not.'' Pennywise said. He started to pull at a piece of string, it was connected to the bomb which would have torn the school to shreds.

''You know what Pennywise….''' Mindy said as she got up, Pennywise turned round, a little surprised but then he saw what Mindy was doing.

''I agree.'' Mindy said as she threw a punch into Pennywise's jaw, he spat out blood and teeth but then received a punch to the kidney, he fell to the ground.

''Mindy just subdue him.'' Carrie said but it was too late. Mindy was punching him several times in the face but he was still pulling at the string.

''Kill me then, end my suffering.'' Pennywise yelled. Mindy threw off his mask and punched his scorched face.

Carrie pulled Mindy off Pennywise, she threw a flashbang at her cousin which allowed Mindy to do what was needed. She pulled out a pistol and shot Pennywise as she stood up, the bullet passed through the side of his neck and he fell to the ground. Mindy took out a baton and walked over to him.

''I'm never going to stop until all you freaks are dead.'' Mindy said, she started to beat him with the baton, each strike sent Pennywise closer to the grave, he was about to pull at the sting but Mindy noticed it.

''Mindy no.'' Carrie said but before she could do anything Mindy had took out a knife and put it through Pennywise's arm, he let go of the string and fell to the ground, silent.

''Do not kill him.'' Carrie said as she ran towards Mindy, she took her to the ground but Mindy pushed her back and ran towards Pennywise and put her hands around his throat.

''He is a killer.'' Mindy said as she watched Pennywise lose what was left of his life but then he smiled and Mindy felt a sharp sensation in her side, he had put a knife into her side, he started to stab her multiple times until she got off him, he looked at her and jumped towards her and swung his very small knife.

Carrie used her powers to push the two backwards, they hit separate walls and the police burst in. There was at least twenty heavily armed SWAT members who were ready to pull their triggers.

''On the ground now.'' The police yelled. Carrie let go of the two and they fell to the ground, Mindy threw several smoke bombs which allowed her to escape through the whole that Carrie had entered. Carrie then took off and flew through the hole she made.

Tommy was sitting in a bar drinking heavily. Marcus then walked inside, he sat down in front of him and looked at what Tommy was drinking. It was a lot more darker and smelt like iron.

''That doesn't look like beer to me.'' Marcus said as Tommy downed a gulp of it.

''It doesn't taste like it either.'' Tommy said, he sounded distant, he was thinking about some of the things he had done when he was the Survivor, he had a few moments when he forgot who he was.

''How is Sue?'' Marcus asked, a waitress walked over but he gestured no.

''She is doing fine, I needed a drink.'' Tommy said as he stared into the near empty beer.

''Yeah, I know the feeling.'' Marcus said as he looked around. It was a typical bar that only had a few people, it was where people who hated their jobs and families want to forget out their lives.

''What do you want Marcus?'' Tommy asked finally addressing the Elephant in the room.

''Do you still have a contact with Jimmy?'' Marcus asked. He was referring to a guy that Tommy did a few jobs for in Las Vegas.

''Why do you want him?'' Tommy asked.

''I want to take him down along with the people he works with.'' Marcus said. He took out his phone and showed Tommy a picture of Chris D'Amico.

''You want Chris?'' Tommy asked as he looked at the picture.

''I'm going to bring him down but I need help.'' Marcus said. Tommy started to think for a moment but then he nodded.

''We better get the others involved.'' Tommy said.

''But I have one other question, this man...Any ideas?'' Marcus asked as he showed him a picture of Nemesis. Tommy looked at the picture but did not have any idea who he was, Marcus understood this without Tommy even having to say.

''I also hear you have a proposition for me.'' Tommy said. He finally managed to ask him but Marcus just sighed at that.

Stephen was in his office that was based in his old house. He walked into the secret room and turned on the monitor. The white suit had now gone but Doctor Miller was on the video chat.

''How did it go with Freddy?'' Stephen asked.

''There is clear tension between the two heroes, how is your project going?'' Miller asked.

''Project: Nemesis is going very well.'' Stephen said as he looked at a picture of Nemesis on his tablet.

''And the others?'' Miller asked.

''Their time will come.'' Stephen said as he looked at images of the others, they were locked in cells, praying for help but they would receive none.

Well I hope you enjoyed and please review. I know it's long but they will get shorter but I just wanted to give you what is to come. So should Pennywise have died? I would love to know what you think. Any questions you want answered? Until next time, have fun.
