Chapter Eight: The Black Doom
On the other side of the world, we enter this cell. Inside this cell was a silver hedgehog, with white fur on his chest. and yellow eyes. He was chained up in his cell, nowhere to go, and nowhere to escape.
"Have you learned your lesson yet, Silver?" a dark evil voice asked.
"Never! I would much rather die here, then to join forces with you, Black Doom!" Silver snarled.
He could not be seen, as he was in the shadows. All that was seen was three bright red eyes.
"Such a shame. With your power and mine, we could have taken over this world. We would have been an unstoppable force, nobody would get in our way, and you could have had anything you wanted." Black Doom stated.
"Even if I agreed, you would have killed me either way. So what difference would that have made?" Silver snarled again.
"Had me figured out all over again, have you? You know, you're a lot more intelligent than I gave you credit for. Unfortunately for you, it is the worst decision you've ever made, crossing paths with me. Because I am unstoppable, and I am stronger than you ever will be." he snarled at Silver.
"You may be strong, Black Doom, but that doesn't mean you are the strongest! Remember, in life, and this is just the way life is, there is always gonna be someone out there stronger than you! You may not have found them yet, but they do exist. They will be lurking, around every corner. Waiting for the right moment to stop you, and your evil doings. So don't think that you will ever get away with this, because you can't be any further from the truth." Silver explained.
"Is this story really supposed to scare me, Silver? Because if that's all you have, then I am very disappointed. Just when I was starting to admire your intelligent mind. Words like that however may cause me to change my mind." Black Doom chuckles.
"You don't get it. If I can't stop you, and whoever is lurking out there can't stop you, we have no soul purpose on living." Silver added.
"Exactly. There's nobody lurking out there. And even if there was, what makes you so sure they'd be strong enough to stop me?" Black Doom asked.
"As I have mentioned to you earlier. You may be the strongest now, but that doesn't mean there isn't anyone else who's stronger than you out there. They do exist, and just because you haven't seen them up close and personal, it doesn't mean that they don't exist. You just haven't looked in the correct place." Silver snarled again.
"Well, you better hope for your sake, that this being does exist. Because if they do not exist, then, I am afraid you'll live here for the rest of your life, until you starve to death." Black Doom laughed.
"As long as it takes, but it won't matter if I am alive or not, that person will come here eventually. And WHEN they do, not IF they do, they WILL stop you! They will end your reign of terror, once and for all! And when you find yourself vulnerable, and you try and find a strategy around it, don't bother! Because no matter what you do, it's no use!" Silver mentioned again.
"Well, we will see about that." Black Doom laughs again.
"Yes, we WILL see! And that's always your problem! You let your ego get in the way so often, you can't see the world for what it is! It doesn't matter what you believe at this moment, strongest right now, or not, eventually, you will meet your fate! Your fate that involves being stronger, the fate that involves overpowering you, and your fate to put you out of your misery!" Silver snarled again.
"Well, they will see who I am! Just imagine yourself in a world without faith, a world without hope, a world without pain, and a world without a hero. Just a world surrounded by darkness, the screams of the people, when I take over as their ruler. I will become the emperor of darkness, and the emperor of the damned. And everyone will see me for who I truly am!" Black Doom started.
"And, who exactly are you, might I ask?"
Black Doom then slowly walked into the light, so his appearance is now more noticeable.
"Don't you know? I'm Black Doom!" he stated.
He is now visible to see. He has a form in a legless body, he has three red bestial eyes, a pair of twin wide horns with have spines on his scalp, three fingered paws, and has no lips. For his chosen attire, he wears a dark-coloured robe also having two capes hanging from his back, a set of spiked ornaments, and having jewels adorned on a loose necklace.
He chuckles evilly at Silver. Silver grew very weak, and he passed out. Black Doom then leaves the cell. He looks outside his balcony, and looks beyond the valley. He took to what Silver said about a possibility of someone being stronger than he is.
"He claims that someone out there may be stronger than me, huh? Well, not like that matters, it's all going to end in a very dark matter anyway. By the time they get here, or if they get here, it'll be too late. Silver is the most powerful alchemist in the world, capable of anything, but unfortunately, he hasn't got long to live." Black Doom laughs evilly.
Silver does not have long to live, and Black Doom is so pure of evil, he will stop at nothing until world domination is his. Will the four heroes be able to reach him in time? And even if they do reach him, will they be strong enough to stop him? If someone or something doesn't stop Black Doom now, this could very well be the end of GreenHilltopia.
