Chapter 2: Dementia
-"What? That doesn't make any sense!" Ky said to Melisa.
-"Well believe it, that thing makes your mind a total mess and the most painful part…it makes you have hallucinations with the person you love the most." Melisa explained.
So that could explain why Ky saw Maya in the ship…and heard her voice?
-"And, there's any way to fight this…dementia?" Ky asked.
-"Sadly, the only way to defeat it is to face it and separate the reality from the insanity." Melisa said but then she received a message from one of her teammates.
-Melisa?
-"Cesar? You crazy asshole! Where have you been? I thought you were death." Melisa said.
-There isn't much time left…these creatures slaughtered half of us, the captain has gone crazy and he killed Sanderson…he's insisting that the artifact will save mankind and he's trying to take the ship back to Earth.
-"No, we can't let him do that!" Melisa said.
-I have the answer to it, I know how to destroy the artifact…it's in our mind. Once that energy pulse reached us, its codes were printed in our mind.
-"You need to get here." Melisa said.
-No …I feel the dementia overwhelming me, I can feel it…I won't make it.
-"Cesar? Darn it!" Melisa exclaimed.
-"Hey, I can go and find him." Ky said.
-"Be careful, because you'll have to fight both those things and your own madness." Melisa explained.
-"I get it...LOOK OUT!" Ky yelled but just then a Necromorph stabbed Melisa in the back and cut her in half.
-"Goddamn it!" Ky yelled and he shot the Necromorph and make it fall down to the floor but to make sure that it won't stand Ky stomp on the Necromorph's head.
Meanwhile back at Earth, Maya and Boomer were preparing the X-scaper to go to space.
-"So let me understand this, Ky went to find a relic that it must be destroyed and not returned to Earth." Boomer said.
-"Exactly, besides master Boaddai presumes that the ship's full of…space zombies." Maya said.
-"Then we better head there ASAP." Boomer said and he started the engines of the X-scaper.
Meanwhile back at the Prosecutor, Ky was getting close to Cesar's position and he entered to an elevator to continue, during the movement of the elevator the lights were cut off.
-"What the hell…?" Ky asked when everything went dark and he could see glowing yellow eyes, mouth and marks on her face as the same noise sounded again.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Then what was looking at Ky roared at him before it vanished and the lights came back.
When he reached the dock bay 12 the door was locked, since Ky was an engineer he managed to hack into the controls and open it but when he do it…Cesar came in grabbing a screwdriver and he looked completely insane.
-"There you are." Cesar said as he grabbed Ky taking off his helmet.
-"Whoa Cesar…what are you doing?" Ky said and Cesar was about to stab the screwdriver in Ky's eye but he was holding his hand.
-"You have to face her for me…tell her I didn't mean to do it!" Cesar exclaimed trying to kill the kairu engineer.
-"Cesar, stop!" Ky said. But then he was forced to take the screwdriver from Cesar's hand and stab him in his head.
-"Why did you do it, Cesar?" Ky asked as he was putting his helmet back on but Cesar had already died from the bloodshed.
Later he entered the bay where he found the artifact with shadow kairu and he also saw a blue light right there, which meant that Maya was waiting for him…but when he was just a few steps from the totem he was shot in the shoulder with a spear like projectile so he took it off his shoulder, then the crazed captain of the ship was the one who shot Ky with a javelin launcher.
-"This artifact is worth everything we all lost!" The captain yelled as he recharged his weapon and shot Ky in his right hand and he took that off his hand.
-"I won't let you pull this away." The captain said and he aimed at Ky's head but he grabbed the captain's weapon and shot at him in the neck.
-"Sweet dreams." Ky whispered and he shot at the captain's head. Then he turned behind him and he saw the big artifact and Maya standing in front of him, Maya hugged him and he did the same.
-Thank you, Ky. Now…time to die.
-"WHAT!?" Ky exclaimed and the now shadow Maya turned yellow again and she transfer Ky and herself back to his mind.
Inside his mind, Ky could only see ashes in the air and a yellow environment and he heard shadow Maya's ghostly voice.
-YOURS IS THE LAST BODY WE NEED TO BE REBORN, THE KAIRU KILLERS MUST BE ABSORED!
-"The kairu killers, you mean me? But Cesar said we could destroy the artifact." Ky said and then he saw shadow Maya's silhouette walking towards him.
-Not if we consume you first.
-"Goddamn it, I trusted you!" Ky said and he aimed his plasma cutter at shadow Maya.
-"FUCK YOU, AND FUCK YOUR KAIRU!" Ky yelled and he started to shoot multiple times at shadow Maya's silhouette finally destroying it, then the artifact appeared in front of him and it opened itself showing codes so Ky shoot at them, later he snapped back to reality and the totem was destroyed.
Ky ran back to the docks to find the shuttle he came but it was smashed by a Necromorph tentacle, later he saw the X-scaper landing nearby so he jumped and entered the ship.
-"Ky, you're okay, buddy!" Boomer said.
-"Nice to see you too, Boomer. Don't worry about that thing, it's already destroyed." Ky said tired and then Maya came in.
-"Ky, you're alive. I'm so glad…" Maya said as she was moving towards him to hug him but Ky punched her in the face.
-"Ky, what's your problem?" Maya exclaimed angry.
-"You're my problem! You tortured me in that goddamn ghost ship!" Ky yelled and he left to his room and Maya was staring at him confused.
-"What happened to him?" Maya asked to herself.
