The darkest side of the space
Team Stax members:
Ky Stax: Kairu warrior/Engineer and systems specialist
Maya: Kairu warrior/Ancient history specialist
Boomer: Kairu warrior/Specialized spaceship pilot
Ten months ago, Maya heard about an ancient artifact that Lokar infused with a great quantity of shadow kairu and it was in abandoned spaceship outside the Earth's atmosphere, she asked her friend Ky Stax to retrieve it since he was the perfect candidate for the mission since not only he was a kairu warrior but he was also an engineer and system specialist so he could retrieve the totem to the Earth, he would have been accompanied with the rest of his team but Boomer was recovering from a challenge against the Hiverax and Maya didn't wanted to go because she somehow felt scared about it but she thought that Ky could handle it by himself.
Anyway now Ky had arrived to the abandoned ghost spaceship by the name of the Prosecutor, he needed to be on contact with the monastery's signal so his allies could be informed of his progress plus that they could see what he was doing. Once inside the ghost ship Ky found a massacre. There were many systems destroyed, blood splattered on the walls and floor, many mutilated bodies on the hallways and the lights were tuning on and off.
-"My God…" Ky thought then he putted on the helmet of his suit and he grabbed a plasma gun just in case of anything.
-"This place is really creepy." Ky said as he continued to move through the corridors of the ship, the ship wasn't abandoned but it's crew was killed by something…and by the look of things it wasn't something a reasonable living being would do.
-"Guys? I'm inside the ship…it's something very nasty in here." Ky said.
-"You're on the right track, now you just need to find that totem, then turn the systems back online and come back." Maya said trough the comm-link.
-"I guess I know why you never wanted to come here." Ky said.
-"Why?" Maya asked but since the comm-link had a camera, she see what Ky could see, there was many dead people hanging on the roof and there was many words write with blood on the walls like We're all doomed, Cut off their limbs! Shoot their damn limbs!
-"Oh…" Maya said shocked.
-"This got to be a joke!" Ky thought but then an EMP was triggered inside the ship and it fried momentarily any electrical device but Ky's suit and lights were working except for his X-reader and his comm-link.
-"This is just perfect, stranded in a ghost ship." Ky said but then he heard a bump behind a door.
-"Who's there?" Ky asked and then a figure smashed the door in front of him roaring terrifyingly, this creature was like an infected being.
-"Whoa! What the hell is that!?" Ky yelled and he shot that thing with his plasma gun since he couldn't use his X-reader because it was fried.
-"Maya? Maya, are you there? I think I encountered some sort of infected creature…this must be what killed the crew of the ship." Ky thought and he was walking to find the artifact.
Meanwhile back at the Earth, Maya was getting worried after the loss of communication with Ky.
-"What happened to him? I hope he's okay." Maya thought and then master Boaddai arrived.
-"Hello Maya, what's keeping you worried?" Master Boaddai asked.
-"Hi master, its Ky. I lost contact with him when he entered the Prosecutor." Maya said and master Boaddai got shocked at this.
-"He's in the Prosecutor!?" Boaddai exclaimed.
-"Yeah, is something wrong with it?" Maya asked confused.
-"He's not trying to find Lokar's artifact, right?" Boaddai asked.
-"Uh…yea he is." Maya said.
-"He must not reach it!" Boaddai said.
-"Why not? Master, what's going on?" Maya asked wanting answers.
-"Lokar's artifact is actually an ancient alien totem that was lost by its people many centuries ago, Lokar made the foolish mistake to use it to save some shadow kairu and when he did it…he awaken the curse of the artifact. Its power destroys the mind of any living being and it can even bring back the dead back to life but in a twisted way so they come back as mindless monsters, monsters that we the Redakai call the Necromorphs." Boaddai explained.
-"Oh my God…what have I done?" Maya said as she could feel tears of sadness trying to get out of her eyes…she send her best friend into his own demise.
Meanwhile back at the Prosecutor Ky found many of those Necromorphs along the way and he barely got away from them alive, later he reached the bay where the artifact was.
-"This must be the stuff." Ky said and he deactivated the force field around the artifact…that was his mistake.
When the force field was down the artifact triggered an energy pulse all around the ship and it made Ky to fly many floors away from it and it also made him have a big headache but once the pain was gone he received a message from the monastery, looks like that pulse reestablished his wrist comm.
-"Artifact dangerous, destroy it and get out of there!"
-"Dangerous?" Ky thought and then he went back to find it but now everything was creepier since the corridor was huge, stained with blood, body parts and no living sounds plus the radio frequency was broken so it started to transmit a children's song but in a place like this…it was terrifying.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveler in the dark,
Thanks you for your little spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Ky was getting closer even with that terrifying song sounding, but then he got nervous when he heard Maya's voice but in a ghostly tone.
Ky…
Where are you…?
Ky…
Come with me…
Ky entered a room and one of those Necromorphs jumped in front of him trying to eat him but Ky punched him on the face and shot him with his plasma gun. Later he entered the surgery room where he found a special plasma laser so he took it and assembles it to his plasma gun to make what he called a plasma cutter.
When he turned his back he saw Maya sitting in one of the surgery beds while she was singing in a ghostly tone.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
-"Maya? What are you doing here?" Ky asked but then Maya's eyes turned completely yellow alongside her blue marks now yellow and she was soaked with blood as she screamed at Ky. Then in the blink of an eye Maya was gone.
-"What the hell?" Ky asked and then the door behind was open so he aimed his plasma cutter at it but this time, it was a woman who opened the door.
-"Who are you?" The woman asked.
-"I'm Ky Stax." Ky said.
-"I'm Melisa, what are you doing here?" Melisa asked.
-"I came here for that artifact but now I'm told that it must be destroyed." Ky explained.
-"Yes that's an under…wait, did you saw something weird after the energy pulse?" Melisa asked.
-"Maybe…why?" Ky said.
-"You're suffering from a unique form of dementia Ky. Something you contracted when the artifact released its pulse." Melisa said.
