Chapter 11: Soul Killer
"My vengeance is motivation enough."-Raziel, Soul Reaver 2
He received a direct glare from her glowing eyes. No escape. His mind ran through his life in a second. He couldn't think straight. Nothing made any sense anymore. How can this happen? What fate lay in store for him? He concluded: he was going to die. No. Why had he been so foolish? He knew her intentions. Nothing needed to be said. This was it.
She lifted the blade. He was staring directly into the point of it. He wasn't ready for this moment. He didn't want this to happen. This wasn't supposed to be! Despair overwhelmed him. He was not going to repent. Never.
She charged at him, impaling him as he had done to Robotnik.
Blood.
"I renounce you." She said. The anger that raged through her was unstoppable. After his death, she would be the last remaining vampire. Burning with rage. Seething. She was an unyielding killer.
She tore the sword through his torso, splitting him almost in half. He died instantly. She didn't do away with his body, just yet. Other business had to be dealt with first. She walked out into the city streets. Humans everywhere. Inhumane, demonic, back stabbing humans. She knew what they had done. She knew the empty reasons they had for killing her species. She ran loose consuming the souls of those who where supposed to be almost extinct 650 years ago. Her wrath flooded the streets, which where soon blood covered. She ran into the homes of human vampire hunters and ripped their soul from its worries. As for children, they'd be spared. A new breed had to be created. The old humans had no use. Blood everywhere. She extracted the souls from the multitudes. Corpses that would rot and disappear into the air were everywhere. Nothing to stop her. Guns tried. No triumph. NOTHING. She killed enough so that the remaining would flee. To where? She'd didn't care. She had it. The power. She found her sword attached to her body. With a simple bite on her hand, it appeared or reappeared. She decided to use her bare hands, or claws if you prefer, in doing this. The blade was her soul. And she was the blade. She breathed her vampiric gift into children. No pain for them. But it took them days to reawake as a vampire.
Blood coated the streets, the sides of buildings, everything.
Still burning with rage, she returned to her home…the Temple. But before she entered, she took notice of the corpses of her newborns. Shadow, Rouge, Robotnik, Tails, and Knuckles. She sat beside them. She chanted: "Power of the God almighty, please raise these bodies." And with that, the bodies found themselves in life again. Body parts that previously were separated from their owners attached themselves again. She walked away before they could see her.
Knuckles let out a groan.
"Ugh…hey…we're….we're alive!" He said.
"What happened?" Asked Shadow. "How did this happen?"
"I've got a feeling…yes. She's back. She's alive." Said Rouge, confident in her guess. "I say we head back inside the Temple."
Tails was the next to wake. "What? I'm alive?"
"We all are." Said Rouge.
"But how?"
"Elexis."
"………."
Robotnik woke.
"What? I….." He said.
"Yes. We've been resurrected." Answered Shadow before Robotnik could spit out the question. "Anyway…..I say Rouge is right. Let's go back to the Temple." They slowly got to their feet and made their way into the Temple.
As they walked down the hallway to the main room, they noticed cracks and indentations made into the sides of the walls. Impossible! These walls were of stone! How could this have been done? Or rather…WHO could have done this? They peered around the corner of the main room. And there was Elexis. They could barely recognize her, but they knew it was her. Her tattered wings. The white hair. The white skin. What had occurred to her over the past 650 years?
Then, in sudden shock, there was Sonic's corpse. Blood streamed from his blood. Most of it was dry. A part of his intestine hung out. Ribs were visible. Elexis raised her hands, and a heap of fire spouted from the ground, consuming Sonic's torn body. The fire was in the form of a pillar. Once it fled from the Temple, the blood left behind soaked into the ground.
They stared in pure shock. They could not believe the scene that they had viewed.
"Ah…I see you've awakened." She said.
"Yes." Said Knuckles.
"You should know that in the time you were dead, I have rid the city of humans. New vampires will be waking very soon."
Tails went to look out the window in the hall across the main room.
"My God…the city is…..its deserted."
The city was empty of the living. Totally devoid of life, it stood silent in the night.
The humans were gone. Destroyed. Obliterated.
"Now we may rebuild according to the prophecy of Calypso. Restore its former beauty." She smiled for the first time.
"I know it seems like a long ways away, but its not so. The future is closer than you think. This place will be filled with life. Unlike that of the humans' doings. You are on the edge of an age of pure beauty."
All stood silent. Could the ruins of the world really become an empire of greatness and beauty? Or could this just be a pretty picture on a wall?
"The battle isn't over yet. More threats WILL come." She warned.
"Like what?" Asked Robotnik.
"That information is not for you to know. I don't think I could have contained knowing the future as a human. You have no idea the power of knowledge. We're not talking going by standardized tests, we're talking wisdom. Only that comes in time. That knowledge is priceless."
Elexis still had a burning rage inside her. Nothing could extinguish it. Nothing at all.
"I thought only Calypso knew that." Said Shadow.
"Not after I consumed her soul."
"Oh."
This story isn't over by a long ways! I have lots of ideas for this. However, I won't keep writing if no one is reading. PLEASE REVIEW!
