Second Chapter of my Fanfiction of Deadmen Wonderland. I have introduced a Non-Deadman into the story now. Please read, review and comment. 3
The gears stopped turning and the sound of a door opening resonated through the area Xavier was in. The large white entrance began to creak open. It took the door five minutes to fully open. In the blinding light that decreased as Xavier adjusted his eyes to it. He saw a shadow walk from the entrance and the shadow's arm motioned for Xavier to come in. Xavier did not really care if it was a trap or not. He stepped forward and noticed the change of atmosphere as he had crossed the yellow line. He continued walking and noticed the door started closing and the shadow had disappeared. He increased his speed of walking and stepped up into the entrance and down again. The door closed behind him.
He looked around, surveying his surroundings and noticed there were a few people around. Twenty at the most and this ward of the prison seemed different. For one they were on the lowest levels. Xavier stepped forward and the closing of the door brought all the attention focused on him. Xavier was approached by a very tall man who was wearing reading glasses. The man was wearing a blue jumpsuit with the symbol of fire on his chest. He had under those glasses, brown eyes, but his hair was unnaturally long and silver as was his beard. He took off his glasses and his eyes widened. Xavier could see the eyes becoming blood shot. He was not concerned, but it seemed what this man was doing and his reaction would change the opinions of everyone in the room.
"This inmate is not a Deadman," he said. Those words changed the reactions and expressions of everyone in the room as one inmate to Xavier's right got up and walked over to Xavier. He brought his fist down onto Xavier's head. Xavier stepped back as the fist came down and on instinct slammed his own elbow down on the man's arm. The force of his elbow, hitting the arm shattered the bone and bent the arm backwards, making the man fall to his knees and scream in pain. Xavier looked up at the tall man, who had walked away. Another inmate approached Xavier, but he seemed more trusting s Xavier could tell the man himself was looking around. The man in front of Xavier had smooth gleaming black hair. He was wearing a black and brown turn coat with a green scarf.
"I am Owl, welcome to G-Ward," the man said in a simple and calming tone to Xavier. Xavier nodded and was about to say his own name, but it stopped as he noticed everyone's name tags had some type of bird name on it. He remembered, the guards placing something metal on his chest and the commentator, Takami saying something. He tried to remember and spoke.
"I am Vulture," he said. Everyone looked at him and they seemed to be surprised. Own stepped forward.
"I think you are in the wrong area, but we don't really question what the Man at the top says. Do you know what a Deadman is?" he asked Xavier. Xavier had no idea and was about to say it, when his mind once again filled with blood and gruesome images. He fell to his knees and gripped his head and chest and began to cough out blood. Owl knelt down and looked at Xavier who was real pain. He then doubled over and vomited a pint of blood that just splashed all over the place. Own stepped back from the blood as did everyone. Xavier felt his body go numb and he blacked out.
He awoke and he noticed he was lying in a cell. A different one that his previous one. His jump suit was the same. The bed was surprisingly nice. The cell was twice as large as his previous. The ceiling had a wide lamp that was switched off at the current moment. The light that lightened up the room was coming from the open door. He swung his feet to the side of the bed and looked around the room. He stepped forward and noticed a small side effect from sleeping. He could tell even from being unconscious he had been out for three to four hours tops. He stretched his arms and legs, turning his upper body side to side. After doing a few minutes of stretching, he noticed his personal belongings from his cell had been brought down, his diaries, books and weights. He undid his jacket and threw it onto his body. He did not have a very muscular body like most of the inmates in this prison. He had a moderate amount, with a four pack on his abs. His actual body shape was slim and from a distance he did look scrawny.
He touched the wall and breathed in. He slammed his fist into the wall. It did nothing at first, and he did it a second time. On the second time, he had weakened the layer of thickness and the second time had added a bit more strength to crack the wall. He kept doing this, counting down from two hundred. After 15 minutes of punching the wall, his hands were not even bloody. In the doorway, was standing the shape of a woman and man next to each other.
"It's polite to knock," said Xavier as he finished and turned around to look at them. There stood, Owl and another woman. She had bright coloured hair and was tanned. She was inspecting Xavier and his body. Xavier did not really mind, he might as well try in the usual pleasure men and women have. He walked back to his top and put it on. As he reached for it, his metallic necklace jiggled under his neck. He put his top on and looked at it. It was a circular medallion. It was red and had numerous rings in it with tomes on the lines.
He zipped up his top and looked towards the two who motioned to Xavier to follow them. Xavier walked after them and as he exited his cell, he closed the door, noticing at the side a scanner for his fingers. He had to admit, this place was different but secure. He found out from Owl, the girl was called Game Fowl and was off limits.
Owl and Game Fowl walked into a separate room and Xavier followed them. They had walked from a tasteless corridor into a brightly lit room that had comfortable chairs, tables, entertainment in the forms of a television, pool table and gaming. In this room, there were four more people. Two men and two women; the two men, well one seemed be the largest person Xavier had seen since Rhino. This man towered over him as he was around 7ft tall and was wearing a dark trousers and a black vest. The man next to him was also quite large and muscular as his veins were popping out. The man was also wearing a vest and trousers. The girls were from Xavier could tell, were very attractive but younger than him by some years. Xavier was 22 years of age and he had a life sentence on his sheet. These girls were 18 or 17 years old. Both seemed to have the same hairstyle and body structure, so Xavier assumed they were twins. Owl stood in the middle of the room and Fowl sat down next to the largest man. Xavier stood standing, as not knowing where to sit. Owl cleared his throat and spoke up.
"This is our new inmate of G-Ward, ladies and gentlemen; mean Vulture, Non-Deadman," he said. The two men looked at Owl and then at Xavier with a piercing glare. The girls inspected his body from a distance. He sighed and took a wooden chair and sat down on it. He lifted his hand and Owl looked at him.
"Hi there, everyone, Vulture or Xavier, if you please, someone tell me what a Deadman is and what is G-ward?" he asked. Owl smiled at his response and clicked his fingers. The muscular man walked up to Xavier and sat down in front of him.
"Hey, My Identity in this place is Bulls eye, but you can call me L," he said. Xavier shook his hand and both of them gripped down on each other. Xavier smiled in response as did L.
"Now, this area around, this exact level is called the G Ward. It's an area where they keep us, the Deadmen," he said. He looked at owl who nodded his head. L produced his hand and opened his palm. He took a small knife and cut into his palm. The blood seeped out but it suddenly stood on end and took the shape of a dart. With this L grasped the dart within his palm and threw it behind him. Xavier watched as the dart flew towards a dartboard and stuck into the Bulls eye. He was impressed, and he was not fearing, but understanding already. He was quite quick to understand and pick up on stuff. L explained it was called a Branch of Sin, those who could control their blood that took an individual form. L pointed to Owl and said his was creating spheres of blood that exploded with tremendous form. Fowl had the ability to harden her body with blood. The larger man, whose name Xavier found out was called Behemoth could the palms with blood that he had called Buddha's Palm as with one strike, he could make a large hand print on the wall or on an opponent. Xavier also noticed something else. Since first meeting with Owl, he had spoken with a robotic tone, but this time, he was mute. He asked L and L told him it involved love and children and Xavier asked no more.
Xavier found out the identical girls were called Candy and Sour; Candy was able to make her body acidic, that would burn through anything and Sour could form swords with her blood. Xavier was wondering why he was in this area.
"This is a first, to have Non-Deadman like yourself in our midst," L said. Xavier noticed something else, that Behemoth did not have a right ear and that Sour was missing one of her fingers.
"Does this happen, that people lose limbs a lot?" he asked L. L sighed and pointed to a poster which read; Carnival Corpse.
"It's a Death Match, between Deadmen, we fight and the loser loses something of their body," he said. Xavier could not believe that, but he was running through his mind, what would happen to him. Everyone in this Ward had a blood affiliated power and he was just simple, although he did not really mind. His mind train was interrupted by a noise coming from the ceiling. L looked at him and then swirled on his chair to look at the screen as did the rest of the room's occupants. On the screen showed an image of the Carnival Corpse's logo and then a voice talking.
"Today's Match, we have something special, in this match we have our Pelican fighting a new member, who has the largest disadvantage in this match, he is not a user, and it is Vulture," the voice said. The whole room turned to look at Xavier and in their eyes and on their expressions, Xavier knew he was fucked. He stood up and left the room. He walked through the corridor and back into his room. He closed the door and sat down on the bed. He put his head in both his arms and breathed in and out.
"Well this is beautiful," he said to himself. He breathed in and out and began taking deep breaths as he found his gloves and found a new suit on the bed. It was not a jumpsuit or prison clothes. It was a black suit consisting of; red tie, black buttoned shirt, black lined jacket, black clean trousers, black clean shoes and black linen gloves. There were also red tinted glasses on the bedside table.
Seven minutes later, Xavier stepped out in his new clothes and walked towards where he had been directed. He stood at one door and looked behind him where all the G-Ward inmates were looking at him strangely as he was wearing a suit and glasses. There was a man standing not far from him, who was wearing a black and purple jumpsuit.
"I am pelican, you must be Vulture. I am going to rip your intestines out and use them to play ring around a roses," he said. Xavier did not like that phrase. He looked at his own fists and knew his own strength and endurance would be able to take on normal armour, meaning if his opponent could harden his body, and it would be no problem. The door opened for both of them and they both stepped through the darkness towards the light and the doors closing behind them.
So what you think Folks?
