Chapter 9: Sad Hill
On Board the Van Cleef Airship
Lee leaned in his captain's chair staring off blankly into the horizon.
"Sir, we shadowed Eli like you asked. He's seemed to have set down on Sad Hill Island" Stated one of his men
"Report." Lee commanded
"The Island is too small for a full settlement. It was only ever used as a short stop point for ship as well as some trading posts. In recent years it's been all but abandoned." Replied Lee's subordinate as he accessed the ship's database
"An island with no real prospects. A good place for an Ultimate weapon……somewhere no one would look…………How long before we reach the Island?" asked Lee
"Two minutes Sir." Replied the man
Lee silently nodded then shifted in his seat.
"Sad Hill……..What a perfect place for all that I have planned to come to an end. And for the start of a new world. I will force everyone to see things my way and crush all those who threaten my happy world. Kyint……….your death opened my eyes, the only thing those who have hate in their heart will understand…….is power." Lee thought
"Sir we are arriving at our final destination." Stated his navigator
"Circle around and hide the Sparrow near the highest point of the Island. Be ready to activate the Ship and prepare the Dai Machina sequence." Lee commanded
Lee stood up and began walking toward the exit. He pulled out the slip of paper for the chest. Taking one last look at it he ripped it to pieces.
"I knew there was something special about this ship. It was one of the only reasons I brought Eli into this and it seems that my hunch way correct." Lee thought
Lee pulled out his guns and made sure they were fully loaded. He then made sure his sword was firmly secured before turning to face his men.
"I'm going to find Eli and follow him to the Nightingale. Four of you stay here to mind the ship for the Dai Machina sequence. The rest…….grab your weapons………and kill anyone who gets in our way. This is a war and the prize it that the winner gets to control the fate of the world. I don't intent to lose and if all don't want to lose your piece of the pie, you make sure no one even has a hope of stopping me." Lee stated
Lee pressed the button to open the exit hatch and stepped out of the ship. As soon as his feet touch the ground he closed his eyes and took a deep breathe. The salt sea air filled his lungs and he released it all in a deep sigh. Opening his eyes he proceeded onwards into the heart of the island.
"Today, everything I've done will finally mean something." Lee sighed
1 mile away from the other side of the peak Eli stepped out of the Van Cleef, Lee's ship, and spit on the ground.
"This piece of junk is no Sparrow." Eli grumbled
"Captain….we've detected the Sparrow on the other side of this ridge." Reported one of Eli's men
"Good….take it back by force. I found that ship deep in the waters. An ancient Beauty…..it's special because it was my ship. And because it's mine….nobody gets away with stealing my property. You guys take care of them, I'm going after the Nightingale." Stated Eli
Lee pulled out the piece of paper from the chest that he received from the fallen Tev.
"This little baby will lead me to the Ultimate treasure." Laughed Eli
Eli headed off down the side of the peek. His men began readying their weapons for the upcoming battle. When he was about a mile away from his ship, Eli stopped to pull out a lighter from his pocket. Eli snickered as he set the piece of paper from the chest on fire and tossed it away.
"Now nobody knows where the Nightingale lies, but me." Eli remarked
Eli located a path leading down the side of the peek and began to follow it with a smile.
Up in the air the Celsius was making it's way over to the island as well. Rose, Rekks and Shay were in the main cockpit monitoring progress, while Tev lay in a bed in sick bay staring up an the cold metal ceiling.
"Be careful on your approach Shay. Everyone's already arrived so things are bound to get a little hot." Warned Rekks
"I got ya." Shay replied her eyes still red from crying
"Don't worry Shay we can work this all out." Rose rubbed Shay's shoulders reassuring her
"Yeah, Tev is fine and Lee will be………he'll be fine." Rekks added nearly choking on his own words
"Are sure about this, you shouldn't really go alone." Rose asked Rekks
"There will probably be a lot of fighting. It will be easier for me alone to slip by all that and catch up to Eli and Lee. Besides we need this ship to be ready to leave at any second. You guys ready." Asked Rekks
"Ready." Replied Shay
"Ready, be careful out there." Rose replied
"Don't worry it's me." Smiled Rekks
"That's why I worry." Rose shot back
Rekks started heading for the exit hatch when Shay called out to him.
"Lee isn't evil Rekks. He's my brother I know him. He's angry at everything………he thinks that the only one that can make the world perfect is him. He's just……..misguided. Help him and bring back my brother." Pleaded Shay
Rekks took a deep breathe and turned back to face Shay with a smile.
"Don't worry. I'll handle it. Just trust me." Rekks answered
Shay smiled and nodded her head in appreciation. When Rekks turned back around the smile quickly faded, his shoulders sinking. Rose noticed this. She stepped forward wanting to ask him, but she thought it was best not to.
"We're arriving. I've located both the Sparrow and the Van Cleef on the side of the highest peek of this island." Reported Shay
"That's probably where the Nightingale is hidden. You ready Rekks?" asked Rose
"When my dad told me about this, he said never to do anything as reckless as what he described……..I always wondered how fun it would be." Chuckled Rekks as he opened the exit hatch of the ship
The exit hatch doors flung open, a gust of air shooting around nearly sucking Rekks out the door as the Celsius flew over the island. On the ground Lee's men and Eli's had already begun fighting, a terrible battle underway.
"Both ships have been alerted of our presence." Reported Rose as she read the sensors
The Sparrow and the Van Cleef began opening fire on the Celsius. Shay did her best to maneuver around the incoming shots and circled around the island.
"Here we go firing cable!" Shouted Shay
A harpoon shot out of the side of the Celsius piercing deep into the side of the peek. Attached to it was a sturdy metal wire, Rekks let out an excited shout before leaping on to the wire and beginning to surf down it. The gunfire swept in over his head as he zipped down the wire. Rose watched intently, biting her lip and praying for Rekk's safety. When he was he was about halfway down to the ground one of the bullets from The Sparrow ripped through the metal wire, cutting it. Rekks began falling to the ground rapidly. Rekks gritted his teeth as his eye shone a bright green. Crystal started forming on the ground shooting up into the sky creating a slide.
Rekks hit the slide hard and tumbled down it until he reached the ground. Rekks rolled on the ground for a few seconds groaning as the slide disappeared. Rekks pushed himself up and dusted himself off before taking stock of his surroundings.
"Where the hell are these guys?' groaned Rekks
Rekks began searching around until he found a path that lead straight down the side of the peak. As Rekks moved down the path the sounds of battle became louder and louder. An explosion sounded off nearby causing Rekks to duck for cover. When things were clear he continued on down the path. Rekks managed to sight Eli off in the distance, standing by a large rock formation. Rekks pulled out one of his guns and approached Eli quietly from behind. Eli fumbled around the rocks searching for the secret switch. Rekks inched up behind him pointing his gun at the back of Eli's head.
"Hey Eli, whatcha looking for?" smirked Rekks
Eli froze up for a second. His nose twitched and his teeth gritted as he stood up and rose his hands into the air his back to Rekks.
"Never figure you for a guy who'd shoot someone in the back. I must be rubbing off on ya." Joked Eli
"That's not answering……….. Is this the entrance?" inquired Rekks
Eli began to sweat, he spit out on the rock. His eyes darted around looking for a way out of his predicament when he noticed a switch on the side of one of the rocks nearby him. A grin broke across Eli's face.
"I ain't telling you and if you kill me you'll probably never know where it is." Eli remarked
"Well that leaves you out in the cold, because I could care less about the Nightingale……..but there is something I want to talk to you about." Rekks answered back
Not too far away Lee was trekking his way through a clearing when two of Eli's men approached him from the right side. They opened fire on him forcing Lee to duck behind a tree. Lee pulled out his gun then took a deep breathe as he dove out to shoot one man down. Two of Lee's men approached from the other direction and shot down the other man. Lee's men approached him laying their weapons at their sides.
"You two follow me." Lee commanded
The three men proceeded on until Lee caught sight of Rekks and Eli in the distance.
"I figured those two got here first." Lee muttered to himself "You two move around to the other side and wait for my signal to attack."
Lee stepped out from behind the trees, his gun pointed at Rekks.
"Hey cousin, long time no see." Smiled Lee
Rekks tensed up. He made sure his gun stayed focused on Eli as his other hand slowly began reaching for his other gun. Lee's eye twitched, he fired off a shot. The bullet went whizzing through the air, past Rekks' head into the rock behind him. Eli trembled slightly. Looking from Rekks to Lee, Eli sized up his options. Eli moved to stand up when he felt a strange loose rock under his palm. Eli eagerly felt around the rock until he found the secret switch. Eli licked his lips looking up at Rekks with a smirk.
"I'll take your offer into consideration Rekks, but I think we'll talk more later." Eli chuckled
Eli pulled the switch. The hillside rumbled, rocks pushed away as the door opened. Eli pushed Rekks out of the way jumping through the door. Lee opened fire as he signaled to his men. Rekks ran for the rolled across the ground then sprang up to seek cover behind a tree. On the other side of the doorway Eli found himself inside a large warehouse. Craning his head upward he located stairs leading to a catwalk that led top the next room. Eli made a run and raced up the stairs toward the next room.
Back on the outside Lee men came out of hiding to shoot at Rekks. Dodging their bullets he kept his guns trained on Lee keeping him from entering the passageway. One of the men maneuvered himself around to the other side of Rekks. The man aimed carefully almost shooting the top of Rekks' head off when he pulled the trigger. Rekks shifted his position around the tree and answered back. Lee used this monetary distraction to dash toward the open passage and leap in before Rekks could stop him.
"FCK!!" Rekks cursed
Both of Eli's men moved in closer. Rekks holstered his guns then unsheathed his sword. Stepping out from behind the tree Rekks batted away the oncoming bullets with his sword. Rekks side stepped around the first of Lee's men and slammed the broad side of his sword into the man's head. As the man dropped to the floor the second soldier lunged toward Rekks. Rekks swung his sword slicing the man's gun in half. Rekks then stepped in closer looping his arm around the man's tossing him over his shoulder. The man hit the ground with a thud followed by a sound kick in the head from Rekks knocking him out. Taking a moment to catch his breathe Rekks looked toward the entrance to see no sign of Lee.
"Damn……." Rekks grumbled as he made a dashed toward the opening.
Inside the facility Eli raced over head a large empty hanger along a catwalk.
"Where is this blasted thing!" Eli exclaimed
Eli continued onward until he found a huge set of doors at the end of the Catwalk. Eli scored the door looking for a way to open it. Finally he found an ancient console. Eli pressed a few buttons causing the console to light up and crackle back to life. Pressing more buttons Eli fumbled with the controls trying to open the door. Eli became enraged by the device then pulled out his pistol to shoot it. As the console sparked the massive doors opened to reveal the massive machina destructive force known as the Nightingale.
"Yes…yes….yes….yes…" Eli licked his lips with anticipation
A small set of catwalk steps lead from the main walkway to the head and control room of the massive Machina. The Nightingale stood many stories tall armed to the teeth with all manner of weapons. Eli headed up the steps as fast as his feet could take him all the way up stopping a few feet away from the cockpit doors. Eli took a big gulp and slowly approached the doors. Eli reached out a hand to brush away the dust from the lock.
His hand trembling Eli wrapped his fingers around the lock. He turned it slowly then pushed open door, dust filling the air. Eli stepped inside the cock pit to find a fair sized room with a seat right in front of a large control console. Eli's face began to twitch, small chuckles began to escape his lips until he just couldn't contain himself any longer and broke into a fit of laughter.
"This is it, This is it. Finally, it's all mine." Eli laughed
Eli switched on the Nightingale's computers. The great Machina began to hum as it came to life once more……..right before it's systems shut off and it went to standby mode. Eli angrily banged his fists against the console.
"You blasted piece of junk why won't you work!" screamed Eli
"Maybe that's because you only have a piece of the puzzle. You really do lack any foresight do you. Did you believe that they would just let this thing be used by just switching it on. Or that the makers would just leave this here for anyone to find." Came Lee's voice
Eli turned around to see Lee standing at the entrance of the cockpit with his gun aimed right at Eli's heart.
"There were more secrets in that box. And fortunately enough for me I know on, that without it, this thing won't move an inch." Lee smirked
"What are you talking about?" spat Eli
Lee slowly approached the console forcing Eli to take a step back as he kept his gun aimed at him. Lee smiled at Eli while he pulled out a radio off his belt.
"Start up The Sparrow and prepare for the sequence." Lee commanded one of his men over the radio
"What are you doing with MY SHIP!" Eli demanded to know
"I remember you telling me the story about how The Sparrow was salvaged from the ocean. It was truly an amazing find. A vessel with many unexplained functions, created by an ancient civilization. You were part of that salvage operation, then you stole The Sparrow to serve your own needs." Lee smirked at Eli "Do you remember a man named Buddy?"
"Can't say it rings a bell." Eli answered
"He was my father….and he was a part of that salvage operation. I was there too. You shot two men and left with the ship. However you left behind some other things from the salvage operation. A few books about the ship, mainly operation manuals, stuff that you have no doubt figured out by now. But, as I went over these books I began to see something special. I never quiet realized what it was, until the chest opened." Lee explained
"What are you blathering about." Spat Eli
Lee pulled out the piece of paper from the chest. Looking it over he then enter a code in the main control panel.
"As it turns out you had one more piece of usefulness. The Sparrow as it turns out is the missing link to the Nightingale. Part of the reason I chose you is because the original clues to the Nightingale were found during that salvation. It's been my inspiration ever since, the power to enslave this world and bend it to my wishes. If there is anyone out there who won't agree with me…….I'll crush them with this. I've activated a sequence that will merge The Sparrow with the Nightingale, with the Sparrow this Machina won't do a thing." Explained Lee
The complex began to rumble. Huge massive doors built into side of the mountain began to pull apart scattering dust everywhere. In another part of the facility Rekks made his way across the series of catwalks when he felt the place begin to shake. Grabbing on to a nearby railing he looked up to see the massive doors of the hanger open up allowing the sun to blindingly shine through. With the hanger illuminated Rekks' jaw dropped as he finally got a full look at the massive machina known as The Nightingale.
"Holy Sht." Rekks remarked in awe
The Sparrow hovered just over the hanger. Eli pressed a button on the console which caused panels to begin opening up on the back of the Nightingale. The massive machina roared to life as The Sparrow lowered down and began connecting with it. The cockpit began to shake slightly, Eli saw this as his chance and charged at Lee. Grabbing hold of the arm he was holding his gun in, Eli pushed Lee back causing both men to trip over the cockpit seat. Eli knocked the gun from Lee's hand and proceeded to punch away at him. Lee growled in anger fending off Eli's attacks. Outside the cockpit the sequence finally finished as The Sparrow merged with the Nightingale. The members of Lee's crew began to exit from the ship and head down the catwalk in Rekks' direction. Seeing this looked around for a quick escape option. Seeing a nearby chain he leaped off the railing to grab on to it. He then began to swing himself over to the machina. Using the chain he began to scale up the side of The Nightingale on his way to the cockpit entrance.
Back in the cockpit, Lee maneuvered himself in position to throw Eli off himself and tried to pull his second gun out of its holster. Eli tackled into Lee trying to wrestle the gun away from him. Lee delivered a hard right to Eli's face, but Eli stood strong and answered back with a knee to Lee's gut. Eli drew his sword striking Lee's gun out of his hand. Lee successfully dodges a few more swings from Eli's cutlass, before pulling out his own sword. The two men clashed blades for a while until Lee managed slash Eli's forearm then move in to disarm him. Lee punched Eli in the face then pushed him to the ground.
"It's over!" cried Lee
Lee swung his sword down on Eli, but he luckily managed to roll out of the way at the last second. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out one last lighting gem which he slammed into the ground near Lee. Lee managed to defend himself but the shock off the electrical attack knocked him on his ass. Eli used this to his advantage and kicked Lee's sword out of his hand. Lee infuriated, grabbed a hold of Eli's foot and swept his other leg knocking him to the ground with force. Lee then scrambled toward one of his guns on the floor. Eli pushed himself up groaning and went after Lee once more.
Eli grabbed him from behind trying to pull him away from the gun. Lee countered by elbowing Eli in the side of the head. Pushing him off again be went straight for his gun. Eli quickly pulled out his pistol aiming it at Lee, but before he could pull the trigger a shot rang out. Lee turned to Eli to see him fall to the ground, he then looked toward the cockpit entrance to see Rekks standing with a smoking gun in his hands. Lee looked up at Rekks with a smirk. Rekks remained silent aiming his gun at Lee.
"He was a bit of a nuisance, not much of a real fighter, but he could take a beating." Lee smirked as he wiped some blood from his lip
Rekks remained silent, stepping into the cockpit keeping his gun trained on Lee.
"Never really thought you had it in you to just kill a man in cold blood." Remarked Lee
"I guess when it comes to it I can be pretty nasty when I want to." Rekks shot back
"Are you going to shoot me next?" Lee asked
"I was kind of thinking about it." Rekks answered back
Lee smiled at Rekks. He slowly stood up then moved closer and closer to Rekks until the barrel of the gun was pressing up against his chest. Lee looked Rekks right in the eyes and snickered. Rekks focused on the man before him with a cold gaze.
"Shoot me." Lee declared
Rekks gripped his gun tighter.
"Go ahead you have the chance, you killed Eli. So what's really so different between him and I? We're both the bad guy. Pull the trigger." Lee urged
Rekks' teeth clenched.
"You can't do it. As much of a bstard I am and despite what I've done to you and everyone else. You still the good guy……..and you can't bring yourself to kill family." Lee taunted
Lee chuckled as he snatched the gun out of Rekks' hands then delivered a swift punch to the side of his jaw. Rekks stumbled back falling to the ground. He rubbed his jaw looking up at Lee who pointed his own gun back down at him.
"Like I said before the major difference between you and me is that I'll do whatever it takes to win." Lee explained as he headed back toward the console "And to the victor go the spoils. The Nightingale belongs to me and with it I will rule over Spira and rewrite its law, its way of thinking, totally bend it to my way. With me at the helm……ruling Spira with this machine…..everyone will have to submit to my way…..or die. There won't be anytime to hate when everyone is busy fearing me and the destruction I can cause with this."
Lee began switching on the systems of the Nightingale. One by one each system powered on with Rekks angrily watching from the sidelines.
"And now…..I win." Lee remarked
Lee pressed the button to fully activate the Nightingale, but just as the Machina began to start up all the systems suddenly shut down. Lee's smirk faded into an angry growl as he banged his fist into the console. The main screen went blank for a second before a small window open demanding a passcode. Rekks started to chuckle pushing himself up from the floor.
"Looks like you jumped the gun." Laughed Rekks
"A passcode……..It must have also been in the chest." Lee grumbled
"Yeah and I have it. The passcodes to work The Nightingale and with without that knowledge this thing won't move an inch." Rekks smirked
"Tell me now or I'll shoot." Lee warned
Lighting quick Rekks pulled out his sword and knocked the gun out of Lee's hand with it. Lee rolled out of the way as Rekks swung again. Lee grasped his sword of the ground then brought it up to defend himself as Rekks swung at him again. Lee pushed Rekks off him then answered back with a counter attack. Lee came at Rekks swinging wildly, Rekks jumped back dodging the first slash, then he ducked under the second one, followed by rolling out of the way of another. Lee spun around coming at Rekks from another angle, but Rekks managed to block the attack.
Rekks then answered back with a few strikes of his own, Lee dodged the first one, but then as he blocked the second he moved in close to deliver a harsh kick to Rekks' gut. Rekks stumbled back in pain, Lee seized on the opportunity and let fly a series of anger fueled slashes from his sword. Rekks did his best to block each strike. Lee forced Rekks' back to the wall then moved in for the kill. Lee came at him with a forward slash, Rekks rolled out of the way, but Lee shifted around came at him again. Rekks had little time, using his momentum Rekks back flipped kicking legs up to knock Lee back.
Rekks took a moment to catch his breathe while Lee pushed himself back up. Lee rushed toward Rekks again. Rekks skillfully dodged and blocked his attacks once more. Lee began to smirk again, he started leading Rekks backwards towards the cockpit chair. Lee charged at Rekks with a powerful swipe of his sword. Rekks felt the back of his leg touch the chair. Panicked, he rolled over the chair as Lee brought his sword down. Lee's sword sliced through the top of the chair. Angrily Lee swiped again, aiming at Rekks' throat. Rekks side stepped the attack, but Lee recovered quickly and came at him again. Rekks leaped up and kicked his foot of the control console to back flip over Lee's sword strike. Rekks hung in mid-air for a split second before flipping over and landing on the broad side of Lee's blade driving it down to the cockpit chair and trapping it under his foot. Lee desperately tugged at the sword, Rekks chuckled, then jumped up once more to deliver a harsh spinning back kick to Lee's face. Lee flew backwards landing with a thud on to the metal floor of the cockpit. Rekks landed barely managing to catch himself at the last second. Rekks stood up to point the tip of his blade at Lee.
"It's over. One last chance Lee." Rekks warned
"I can't……I can't…..either I rule or I die." Lee answered back breathless
Rekks positioned his sword to thrust forward into Lee's chest. He stood there hands trembling, hesitating. Lee saw this and looked into Rekks' eyes with a smile
"You can't do it this way. If it has to be done at least honor me with a chance to fight back……..for family." Lee pleaded
Rekks clenched his before sheathing his sword. He look one look at Lee and sighed. Keeping his gaze focused on Lee picked up the gun that Lee had knocked out of his hands off the floor. He then tossed it into Lee's lap and headed to the other side of the cockpit.
"On the count of three shoot…..that's all you get." Rekks rested his hand on his second gun in his holster
"What about the activation codes?' Lee inquired
Rekks took out the piece of paper he received from the chest and placed it on the ground between them.
"You win it's yours." Rekks answered
Lee stood up and placed Rekks' gun in the holster at the side of his own belt resting his hand upon it. Rekks took a deep breathe.
"One….." Rekks spoke
"I'm sorry it had to end this way Rekks." Lee stated
"Two….." Rekks continued
"Goodbye." Lee smirked
Rekks turned his head away and closed his eyes. Lee pulled out his gun. Rekks couldn't shoot him.
"THREE!!" Lee shouted
The trigger was pulled, a body fell to the floor. Rekks took his hand of his gun…..still holstered. Eli holstered his gun then pushed himself off the floor.
"When you have to shoot………shoot……don't talk." Eli snickered at the lifeless body of Lee
Rekks began walking away, but Eli reached and grabbed a hold of his arm pulling him back.
"What about our deal…….you said you didn't want Lee to have the nightingale and that you were willing to do anything it took…….even give it to me. When you shot me with that paralyzing bullet I thought you actually killed me, but as I laid their I figured out what you wanted me to do. Making me do your dirty work so you don't have to soil your own hands. Even I think that's a little cold, killing a family member takes the personal touch." Chuckled Eli
"The activation code is on the ground. Everything is yours." Rekks replied
Rekks forced his arm away from Eli's grip then headed out the cockpit door.
"Wait…." Eli called out to Rekks
"What." Rekks replied
"Wait just one moment. I want you to be here when I look at that paper…just in case it's fake." Eli answered back as he pulled out his gun aiming it at Rekks
Rekks stood there silently while Eli bent down to pick up the paper. Keeping his gun trained on Rekks he used his thumb to flip open the folded paper. Slowly his gaze lowered down to the paper. Eli began to snicker.
"Are these numbers really the code?" Eli asked
"Only one way to find out." Rekks shot back
Rekks continued on his way out leaving Eli behind. Grumbling Eli headed over to the console and typed in the code. Hesitating, his finger hovered over the enter button.
"Here goes nothing you rat bstard." Eli spat
Eli pressed enter. To his enjoyment everything in the Nightingale began switching on. Confidently he flopped in to the cockpit seat. Eli smiled as he activated the movement sequence for the Nightingale. Eli began laughing with joy when a window appeared on the main monitor that caused his smile to turn into a roar of anger. SELF DESTURCT INTIATED, TIME LEFT: 5 MINUTES.
"DAMN IT!!" Eli Screamed
Eli looked out the cockpit door to see no trace of Rekks. Eli raced out the door and head across the catwalk back out of the hanger. When he reached the outside he continued to run as fast as his feet could take him until he began to feel a rumble under his feet. Eli ducked for cover behind a group of rocks. The mountain erupted with an explosive force of fire, scattered rocks and debris everywhere. Eli cried out in anger. When the explosions had finished Eli stood up his hand clenched in a fist. He headed out looking for any of his men. He reached the shore of the island before he finally found a group of his men standing on the beach.
"Captain what happened." Asked one of his men
"Report." Eli grumbled
"What was that Sir?"
"REPORT!!"
"We suffered a lot of deaths, but thanks to the explosion we killed most of Lee's men, the rest are imprisoned on the Van Cleef which we found and took control of. Sir…….what happened?" asked the man
"Have any of you seen Rekks?" Eli asked angrily
"No, but…….sir we found a store of treasure under the mountain. It was locked away in some type of bomb shelter. It looks like it was left here by the people who created this place." Chuckled the man
Eli didn't know what to think. A torrent of anger and joy whirled around in his head nearly making him dizzy. Just then he saw The Celsius fly over head and off into the distance. Rekks stood hanging out of the exit hatch of this ship waving to Eli on the beach. Eli began laughing uncontrollably he looked up at the departing ship and as loud as he could he yelled out…….
"REKKS……YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE……..JUST A SON OF………………………
The End
Bonus Scene:
It was night time the full moon hung over the rumble covered landscape like it had so many times before. A ripple appeared in the sky, bending the air around it, a light shone out a swirling vortex of energy creating a portal. From out of the portal a showed figure wearing a cloak appeared. The figure walked up to a pile of rumble and rested his foot on it.
"The last one…….rise." spoke the figure
He placed his hand on the ground and an eerie violet light came forth seeping into the ground. The ruble began to shake, a partially decomposed hand protruded forth from the ground reach up toward the sky. The shadowed figure smiled.
"Welcome back……the others are waiting." Stated the Cloaked Figure
The hand began to push it's self up from the ground, forcing the dirt away. As the body began to push its way up from the ground life began to return to the dead arm.
"Hurry up…..It's time to go to work." Urged the figure
