A/N- Wassup? It is TOBN here with the new collaboration story me and MBAV fan66 are writing! Eek! I AM SO EXCITED!

So the two of us have been chatting about this little story that will consist of maybe 10 chapters or so. I am excited, so let us get this thing started!

This is sorta like Season 3, but not really. And I know I was planning to do Apocalyptic Friends (Season 9 of the Friends Series...I think. Check my profile!), but I couldn't help but decide to write this one. I knew I couldn't do it alone, so I pulled in my fanfic buddy so we could write this and still finish it in time! Yay for us! Jokes!

Hope you read the summary because I ain't gonna explain myself again!

Drop a review and start reading!

ENJOY!

Dark Days: A World In Ruins

By TiredOfBeingNice and MBAV fan66 (Duh!)

Chapter 1: The Explosion

Stern continued to absorb the Lucifractor as the Council building started to crumble beneath the four people. Suddenly, two people burst through the doors.

"Rory! Erica!" Benny exclaimed as he dazedly ran to the two vampires, scars on their faces that took their time healing. "What happened?" Sarah asked nervously. Erica panted, not being able to take the weariness as she almost collapsed. Benny held on to her as Rory gasped.

"The whole town is collapsing. It is totally...horrific." He concluded. Jesse ran his fingers through his hair.

"No time for a reunion! We have to get out of here before something happens to all of us and KILLS US!" He yelled among the smoke and the noise. Everyone nodded as they started to run to the door. But Benny saw the Lucifractor, eyes drawn to what he could have. What power he could possess. Stern shot him a sickening grin.

"Window shopping Mr. Weir? I can assure you that this would be a great way to show your...awesomeness." He said, rolling the word 'awesomeness' with great sarcasm. Benny had a lump in his throat as Erica nudged him.

"Benny! Hurry up! This whole thing is gonna explode!" But Benny stood there, eyes glued on the purple orb. Benny was grounded to his feet as he said nothing back to the blonde vampire. Erica this time spun him by the shoulder and scolded him.

"What is the hold up Benny? Snap out of it; that thing will kill me and you!" This remark made Benny come to his senses and along with Erica, he sped out of the Caller room as he followed his friends.

"I can feel the immense power! NOTHING WILL EVER STOP ME NOW!" Stern roared, his voice echoing the building. Ethan, Sarah, Jesse, Erica, Benny and Rory finally made it out of the Council building as Whitechapel began to rumble beneath its surface. All around them people screamed and buildings started to crumple down. Ethan watched in terror as he saw the one town he ever knew getting demolished in front of his very eyes.

"Everyone in here!" Rory cried out as they found some sort of gap in a building. They all crawled in it and squeezed together. Ethan's heart raced as Sarah slowly started to cry. Ethan cradled her tightly as everyone grasped hands.

"W-What is happening Ethan?" She whimpered. Ethan was about to respond with some words of care and logic when he stopped himself. He didn't want to lie to all of them with some phoney words. He sighed.

"I don't know." She said fearfully.

The six huddled closely, tight in the small gap of the building as the only town they ever knew crumbled into pieces. Benny suddenly remembered something and then began to quickly mumble somthing under his breath that the others didn't hear. Ripples of purple spread through the building's gap as the whole gang felt noises beneath them.

"Everyone brace yourselves!" Jesse yelled among the noise as they leaned in close. The gap started to close in with rocks as the gang was engulfed in darkness.

Ethan wearily opened his eyes to be greeted with more darkness. A low groan emitted from his mouth as he sighed, rubbing his head.

"Guys? You up? Guys?" He whispered as he heard a small whimper in the dark.

"Yeah, I am pretty sure we are all here." Rory said in a small, quiet voice that Ethan never quite heard before. Ethan took a heavy breath as he looked around, his back seriously starting to hurt.

"Benny? Guys I can feel everyone but Benny. Where is he?" The whole gang in darkness felt around for the spellmaster before Erica gasped.

"He's here! I think he is still sleeping." She whispered. Ethan, his eyes slowly adjusting to the dark, rubbed Benny's shoulder.

"B! Wake up!" A small quiet moan was heard in the background as Benny's voice piped up.

"G-Guys? I-I feel really nauseous right now.." He moaned. Erica gagged.

"You better not barf on me nerd." She growled. Benny could be seen faintly shaking his head.

"I don't think I am nauseous that I am gonna barf. I am nauseous because I am sensing a lot of magic. Actually, way too much magic." He groaned. Ethan nodded.

"Okay? So what does that mean?" Jesse said nervously. Benny sighed.

"That means there is something magical outside. And by magical, I mean dark magical. Someone open up this place because I think Rory is squeezing up my butt." He said with annoyance,

"Hey!" Rory protested as Sarah, Erica and Jesse scooted towards what seemed like a rock. They tried pushing it with all the strength they had, but it didn't budge. Sarah sighed.

"It is too heavy. We are stuck unless we find a escape route." Sarah concluded. Ethan felt around when he was met with a smooth feeling.

"Guys! Guys there is glass right here. We are in a gap in a building. We can break the glass and get out!" Ethan informed. Benny took no thoughts as he smashed the glass. Of course, he didn't remember that glass was very sharp, so he yelped in pain as he started to cry. Blood streamed from his fist as Erica removed her sweater and pressed it firmly, but gently against the wound. Benny whimpered.

"Worst idea ever." He sighed as Erica carefully pulled out pieces of glass from Benny's hand. As Erica aided Benny, Rory crawled through the open entrance, his eyes widened as with everyone else.

"What? What is it?" Erica said fearfully.

"You look for yourself." Ethan said. Erica and Benny crawled out with the rest as they gasped.

Through a broken glass building, there was smoke all around them. Bits of rocks and glass scattered everywhere as there were knocked down in one swift kick. But what caught everyone's eyes were monsters, their eyes blood red as the crawled through the city. They were scaly and green, some flying and some sticking to different buildings. But everyone knew that each one was as deadly as the rest.

"This..this was the Lucifractor's makings. It released monsters, and their blood red eyes should be purple. Which means only one thing..." Suddenly, a cackle rung from the buildings' rooftops. The gang all looked up.

"Oh...my...gosh." Jesse said in disbelief.

"YOU CALLED THIS FORWARD!" Stern yelled, eyes glowing purple as he held the orb closely. He rose it up high as he grinned evilly.

"SAY HELLO TO THE END OF WHITECHAPEL! THEN SOON, THE WORLD!" He cackled.

"What is happening Ethan? What does he mean?" Erica said nervously. Ethan narrowed his eyes as he groaned.

"Stern. He just declared World War III"

A/N- Well I am done here! Sorry for such a short chapter; this is a prologue after all. I am sure MBAV fan66 is gonna bring a great chapter 2.

Anyway, I hope you like it! We have some interesting things in store. Hope y'all are excited! Make sure to drop a review too!
