OC Survivor
Kyoten 2 –Beginning of the end
Jrek sat within the attic of the cabin. The door closed; locked by the darkness. The room was bare a single chair and desk being the only furniture in the room, a single window allowing light in. Dark swirls wriggled and twined outside. Jrek sat typing away writing on a Victorian inspired typewriter; a stack of papers, poems, next to him by an unknown author. They spoke of the darkness it's powers and limits. It could bring to life anything the writer wrote but at a price. Jrek was writing a story, a story about the others who had come to participate in the tournament. The Taken, the crows that attacked Roy, the tornado that sank the cabin and reshaped the land, all Jrek's doing. The stories he'd create all came to life.
The darkness he controlled it; the typewriter being his means of controlling it. It had come to him, in the form of an old woman, with the intent of using him as its new host. It underestimated him and he took control of it. But it could still lash back signs that it had not been completely subdued. It found ways of fighting back. Whenever he wrote things that benefited him directly the darkness would become stronger. It could make the impossible happen, but doing so allowed it claw at his mind trying to take his sanity but Jrek was too smart for that. He was unable to control the actions of individual however. For that he'd have to make them into Taken. The typewriter as his weapon he tested it against the others. Shao Kahn was his target; the others were just guinea pigs.
Kyoten dived into the waters of the lake turned sea. The cabin sat at its bottom. The waters were jet black. Kyoten focused his energy forming a light to pierce the darkness. The cabin appeared before him covered in tar. He opened the door. Kyoten was overcome with darkness. Everything was pitch black. He was dry, somewhere else; avoid of some kind able only to see himself. His mind began to wonder. 'Did I somehow drown? No, That wasn't what this was more like returning to something familiar.' He thought. "Could this be it? Maybe it is My Ideal world." He spoke as he faded into the dark. Kyoten had come unprepared to fight the dark and thus swallowed by it. Jrek too would have succumbed to the same fate if it was not for his mechanical eye.
A mass of light shined outside the cabin. It's light startled Jrek. Light, the one thing the darkness could not change. Jrek had found ways to extend the amount of time he could use the typewriters powers against the light of the sun but electrical light was something out of his control. John appeared covered in water proof lights and shining flashlights at the cabin. The tar covering the cabin began to break off ungluing the cabin from the water's depths.
Just as John was amazed at his discovery but was unaware of what exactly he had found. The lights covering his suit began to be covered by black tar floating down on him. The more he broke free from the cabin the more covered him. The lights became covered; John's flashlights began to short circuit. The 'water proof' flash lights were not so water proof. John tossed them down complaining that he should have figured that they wouldn't work as advertized. A rush of water began to pull John into the cabin. Even though John needed to get into the cabin without his light this was suicide. He pulled the cords to his inflatable rafts. The rafts inflated carrying the Spartan to the surface.
John floated on the surface of the water in the rafts. Kicking his feet he made it to the shore. There wasn't going to be a return trip. John's helmet lights went out. "Most advance armor ever and the flash light doesn't work worth anything." John complained having reached shore. He looked around and he began to think of where he was in relation to the stores and the radio station. A voice yelled out to him.
"The bark of an older redwood tree is fireproof!" yelled Kyoten covered in darkness. Kyoten drew his blade. "Lead astray, Sennen no Kanashimi" he said changing his sword's form.
John would have to finish his battle with Kyoten.
