Blue sub No 6:dark descent
Chapter 3:darkness falls
Jung dropped his satchel on the ground and took his coat off, he felt tired and hungry.
He took a spot on the ground and sat down again.
He scratched the side of his face as he looked around the cavern with his flashlight wishing that it wasn't so dark.
Zorndyke then placed the flashlight on the floor and pointed the beam of light up to give the place more illumination.
He reached into his bag and pulled out an emergency ration which was a bar of beef jerky, he also retrieved a canteen of water which he put on his lips and drank a few sips.
Jung felt even more exhausted , it had been along strenuous day after all.
it had taken his team several of hours just to make the hike from the boat to the under ground cavern.
Jung now wondered how he was going to make it out of here alive in this dark and damp cavernous gold mine that went on for miles in every direction.
He certainly couldn't use the same rope his team used to crane him down here since Zorndyke lacked the proper arm strength to climb himself up the rock face out the underground chamber , so escape from this place was not so simple as one might think.
But despite what Zorndyke lacked in strength he did make up for it in intellect after all he was a genetic engineer for crying out loud , he should be able to figure some way out of here he thought.
But at the moment he couldn't see anything around that could prove useful for an escape.
Which left only one solution the Dark Super Suit , Jung realized if any one could help him it would be this man. After all not only did this man protect him but he also single handedly defeated a horde of monsters all bye himself, at least he could rely on this mysterious stranger for protection.
Who was this man he wondered, what was his story and how did he end up here.
As Zorndyke turned his attention to the man he noticed how quite the warrior was, it had been about half an hour after they last talked he didnt hear not even a peep from him.
Silent his attention was not on Jung but on the darkness , nothing but darknness.
Jung Zordyke wondered how long he had done that since he been here all alone bye himself.
A normal man would have would have gone insane bye now but not this man, this warrior dispite living alone in emptiness and shadows was very much sane.
"so ….....whats your real name Supersuit?" said Zorndyke as he tried to strike up a conversation with the stranger
"I dont have a name really , you could say that Im nameless "he said plainly folding his hands.
"you dont have a name?, then I think its time that someone found a name for you"
the Super suit for a while more there was just silence, the professor was left to think with his thoughts.
The sound of dripping water echoed throughout cavern walls , as well as the occasional groan from the monster like behemoth that guarded opening of the the underground mine.
"exactly what is that thing"said Zorndyke referring to the monster.
the Super Suit turned to looked at his direction and said "I call it the mammon, I originally designed it like a guard dog to keep people like your expedition team out so that no one would steal the gold until you arrived, but the monster has grown far beyond my control, it now feeds on who ever comes near.
The mammon is a beast made of darkness and shadow and it hates the light and since Antarctica gets the least amount of amount of light that makes it an excellent place for the beast to thrive.
Those bird like animals that chased after you are its children"
Jung stood back up on his feet to stretch his legs , he took a few steps toward the direction he ran from.
The dark warrior then held his hand up and said "don't take another step! Those creatures wont come near because there scared of me if you walk away from my presence they will swarm you and eat you"
Zorndyke thanked the man but was met with silence, he crossed his arms over his chest then said
"I wish it wasnt so dark in here"
"if you want light then here" the dark man held his hand up , his fingers gave off a bright yellow glow , the glow lasted for a bout a second. Then the energy jumped from his hand into the wall, suddenly gold all around the cavern began to glow a bright yellow color.
"how did you do that?"said Jung with amazement
"photon energy, principal science. Charge an object with photon energy long enough and the object atoms begins to glow. I just charged the wall photons,the light should last a few hours"
Zorndyke could see the area clearly now , the cavern was much bigger than what he had imagined.
The Cave was massive and the gold was every where hanging from walls jutting out of the ceiling and out of the floor all around. With this money Jung could be a billionaire ten times over , all the money Zorndyke would ever need was right here. But how would Jung keep this place secret he wondered.
He turned around to look at the Super Suit and grinned "thank you Adam , thank you"
"Adam?" said the warrior confused
"yes Adam like the first human, Adam will be your new name" said Jung proudly
"I like it Adam sounds good, thanks" the warrior smiled back and gave Zorndyke a thumps up.
"so exactly how long have you been living here again?" Jung asked with a look of interest.
'' well I landed here in the 16th century so it would be 545 years" said the dark Warrior plainly
"so your Five hundred and Forty Five years old? How do you prevent aging?" said Zorndyke with astonishment
the Super suit pulled his shirt up a little to reveal the dark metallic armor that was underneath his shirt
and said "the Armor that I wear gives off a time stasis field that prevent me from aging"
"so what would happen if you took your armor off" asked Zordyke curiously
the Super suit answered with "I would revert back to normal aging, and I dont need to worry about side effect like rapid aging"
"so what is a Super suit? Why do you call yourself that name" Zorndyke asked trying to understand who the dark warrior was.
"let me the answer that question with another question, have you ever hear of the armor of God?"
Jung thought for a minute then responded with "yes I have , its mention in the bible "
"the Vireans discovered this armor while they were traversing the dimensions, there scientist believe that one who wore this armor would become the Ultimate warrior unlike any ever seen before.
And his power would come not from himself but from another" said adam as he leaned against the boulder that he was sitting on.
Zorndyke then asked "from another? Who is this other that you speak of?"
"God" the Dark Super Suit said plainly
"God?" said Zorndyke baffled bye adams answer
"yes God" said the dark warrior again and then continued " after they discovered the Armor, they code named it the Super Suit. They tried all kinds of expirement and learned that the Suit is highly rezistant to damage even at a thousand degrees the Super Suit maintains it entegrety.
They also enlisted pilots to wear the suit but each of them failed because the Armor would not recognize any of them as its user. It was not until the arrival of a man bye the name of josh that the Suit was activated and reconized him as its User, after he escaped with the suit the Virean empire sent there forces after him to track him down and destroy him but there efforts failed because with the Super suit on josh was unbeatable. the Vireans decided to make there own Super suit using the data they collected from the original, and they created a clone of josh to pilot the suit. Thus they named me the Dark Super suit and sent me after the Golden warrior, but without Gods power to empower me I was un able to defeat the golden super suit in combat and was instead of killing me , the warrior spared my life and shared with me knowled of a great manys"
"what kind knowledge" said Zorndyke more interested as he positioned his body towards the direction of Adam, he sat crossleged as he rested his chin on his fist
"things like God and why the world is the way it is, you know he talked as if he knew God personally"
said Adam as he stood up and stretched his legs,he then sat back down on the rock and turned toward Zordykes direction.
Jung realized that Adam was telling the truth, the man had no reason to lie.
Zordyke asked a question and said "why is the world the way it is?
The super soldier answered with " because of sin, Mans sin is what corrupts this world"
"but doesnt God have something to do with that?" asked Zorndyke as he tried to understand were the warrior was coming from
"No why blame God for something that man did, all God did was create man in his own image and gave man the freedom to choose between right and wrong"
"but why , why did God give man free will?"
"because God wanted beings who would willing serve him, if we were programed like a machine to do only one thing which was to love then its not really true love because we did not have a choice int the matter but give someone free will and the love they show will be true"
The warrior then continued with " disease , world hunger and suffering is the by-product of living in a sinful world. You see when man rebeled and sinned against God all of creation was cursed because of him, the first humans caused the fall and ever since then every child that is born into this world carries the seed of sin. If you want to blame someone for the problems of this world I say blame man or blame yourself.
I have realized that I am is what wrong with this world, everytime I sin I make the world worser than what it already is"
Zorndyke realized what the Dark warrior was saying was true , every time a human sin's the world become more darker more eviler more wrong. The professor now realized that his plan for world was the only way to make it all end, if he could just lower the number of humans on the planet , kill off just enought humans it could all end . sin , war, disease suffering all of it could end with just one move.
The dark supesuit then turned to look at Zordyke and said " your wrong Zordyke , your plan for the world will only cause more suffering , the effects of your sin will be felt every where , and many will come motivated bye vengence seeking retribution for there loved one's who were lost because of your actions"
Zorndyke then answered back with "It does not matter, it is all more of the same, more of the accursed dance and it must all end"
Zorndyke said nothing more, his eyes now closed as he meditated on his lossed family, his plans for the world and the future.
The dark warrior said nothing more either as he realized that Zorndyke could not be swayed from his plans, and no matter how hard he tried the future for this world could not be changed. But he wanted to state one more thing before he fell silent.
"Zordyke I assured this because of your actions towards humanity, for all the loss of life that you are going to commit you will burn in hell for all eternity keep this in mind when you set off your plans for the world"
The warrior then took a spot on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
Zordyke sat there unmoved bye the mans statement , the golden glow that temporarily lit the chamber fell dim and Jung was left with nothingness darkness and a feeling of disgust as the thought of humanity came over his mind and Zordyke grew more bitter as hatred filled his heart. Jung was now more motivated than ever to fulfill his plans for the world.
All he had to do was find away to harvest the gold and find away out of here and the more he thought he realized that the only way he was going to get out of here was with the supersuits help. Suddenly the sound of shrill squealing began to grow and Zordyke suddenly became aware that the bird like creatures the spawn of the shadow creature the Mammon had finally returned in even greater force this time.
Jung stood back on his feet and took two steps back; fear now griped Zorndyke as he slowly picked up the 22 pistol from the ground. His hand began to shake again.
The Dark Supersuit got back up from the ground and unsheathed the large shotels from his back and stood his ground.
The warrior then turned to look at Jung and said "Zordyke I suggest that you start praying, pray that we make it out of here alive!"
