Can you hear me now?  Good!

I don't have much to say but this one thing…this is the final installment of the 'To Get Power' chapters.  Let me just finish this one, you'll have a super villain and his cronies.  But let me warn you…this chapter is not as creepy (as Mercy Angel called my last chapter) as Pt 2 but almost just as cruel.  And, finally, after this chapter, you'll see everybody included in the fic so far.  They may not meet each other yet (OLS crew and Duuz), but some will have to fight the newcomers (OLS crew and Hellraiser crew).

31-27=4…. right?

Chapter 13 (or what ever it should be called):  To Get Power part 3

Harry was now in a state of shock; he had just killed three people…

Harry listen to me…you must learn to get over death.  You must do what you must do.

He looked at the two dead people around him, then to the door.   "When I was looking at the little girl through the peephole, I was fine until…" Harry's eyes started to shake, "something came over me.  An urge to stop her, to murder her, came over me."

 

Anything that you didn't want happen didn't happen at all…  You wanted to kill Ron, so you did.  You wanted to kill the little girl and the old man, so you did.  Realize this, as long as you can control the darkness…you are the most powerful being in the universe!

"You right," Harry started to smile in realization, "I am practically invincible.  I can take people's souls and use them for my own…there isn't nothing I could else I could want by my side."

I know what you mean.  But there is an easier way…

"An easier way for what?"  Harry asked aloud.

An easier way to gather souls from the dead.  I can't say anything yet, you must prove yourself by gaining your revenge…

Harry thought for a moment before responding, "Everyone must die…"

Do it, Harry, get them back for everything!  Destroy this place!  All of the scum that lives in it!

Another sudden compulsion started to overcome him…

Anger…

Destruction…

His plan was set.  Harry had to kill everyone, but how?

"Dammit!  Dammit all to pieces!"  His mind was racing again…Ron and the child appeared in his mind.

Harry started to talk to himself, "How do I do it?  How can I get everybody's soul?  If I go on at the same rate I'm going now, I'm surely going to be caught," He kicked the old man.  He had never thought of the overwhelming odds against him.  He was just one person against…

Practically ten million citizens.

Harry…think.  This is a city in space, right?  What keeps the oxygen in?

That's it!!!  A brilliant idea!  Harry had figured out the solution; he looked at the dropped gun.  "How can one person decimate an entire population?"  Harry picked up the .38, "Hit them with one great attack, of course!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Magusser 9 was one of the original space stations Earth created.  Since the time of the Great Dragonite Rush, Magusser 9 was a giant rest stop for the weary treasure hunter who was going to search in the now-seemingly-over-populated Nakalr-Nakalr within the Ctarl-Ctarl system and Mazque Emma in Silgrian/Saurian territory.   Above all, Magusser 9 was considered a checkpoint for different galaxies.

Nowadays, Magusser 9 is a city, seldom used for a rest stop.  The majority of the population is now made up of failed outlaws and struck-down people.  Chaos was so imminent, that a bill was passed some decades ago about banning any type of firearms.  From BB pistols to rocket launchers, all guns restricted, all this because Magusser 9 has the one of the weakest glass coverage of any space station.  Too bad that the tourist center always shipped out brochures that had bright orange warnings about though…

Harry proceeded down the sidewalk with the gun in his pocket to the park gates.

Is this going to work?

"Yes.  This is probably the most guarded public location I know.  Besides, the weak spot is right in the center."  Harry walked through the steel gate, passing a guard shouldering a rifle.

After passing crowds of countless bums, guards, and drug dealers, Harry found what he was looking for.

Is this it?  A fountain.  How can a fountain help?

"The fountain marks the end of the completion of Magusser 9.  What better place to put it than the center?  And plus, weakest spot is right above it."  He looked at it for a while, "Isn't it beautiful?  I still don't see how the designs associate with this place."

It was just as astonishing as Harry put it.  In each of the Cardinal Directions, a limestone figure of a lion's head would be pointing away from the fountain with its fangs gleaming from the wide-open mouth.  Inside the closed pool, several coins could be seen.  Harry climbed into it, the water just above his ankles.

This caught a bypassing officer's attention.  "What are you doing, son?  You're doing something illegal!  Get off from there or I'll have to put you under arrest!"  The guard approached the fountain.  Harry mused.

"You can't stop me, I already have a good aim to the top from this vantage point."  Harry grabbed hold of the large, thin spike tightly, trying to avoid the rushing water.

The guard watched, mouth agape, as Harry pulled out a gun.  The officer drew his own and pointed it at the lunatic.  "I order you to stop in the name of the law!  This is suicidal!  Everyone will die!  If you even stress your finger on the trigger, I'll blow your damn head off!"

Do it Harry!  End it all!  Obliterate everyone!

The outlaw scanned about the park.  It seemed he had gained some attention.  Crowds of people started to gather around him.  Majority of which were picnickers, children, and homeless people.  All the guards had their guns pointed at Harry.  "Put the weapon down sir!"

A grin slithered across Harry's face as he took a slow glance at everybody around him.

People with no dreams…

People just doing their jobs…

Children…

He laughed out loud.  Harry knew that they were all scared.  He had the upper hand, not even the guards around him could prevent it.

"You people…you all make me sick," he glared at a small, crying family in particular that was huddled against a small boy.  "People just like you are my chess pieces…needed to reach a necessary checkmate…BE GONE, ALL OF YOU!!!"

 "I'M NOT GOING DIE!  I DON'T FEAR THE DARKNESS; I WELCOME IT!  COME TO ME!!!!!!"

He pulled the trigger; the bullet soared swiftly through the air.

Oh yes…he is the one…

The crowd's face changed to horror as they heard a small chink above; it's echo, traveling across the standstill silence.  Everybody looked up at the right time to see a small web-like expanding itself, getting bigger.

And bigger…

And bigger…

And bigger…

Now it was an elaborate design that made the stars look like a connect-the-dots pattern; everyone could see it now that wasn't in the park.  The air started to get thinner, the wind was blowing fiercely, leftover paper started to float towards the dome.

Pieces of glass started to float away; the gravity and oxygen was getting weaker.  People started screaming as they were carried upward into the darkness.  Harry face was filled with enthusiasm as he heard the screaming, "This is it…"

The citizens were now being flung towards the top; some running out of air before they even reached the surface.  Every time a person hit the glass, they and a shard of glass would be plunged into the vast void of space.  Trees were pulled from their roots; buildings started to deteriorate, the pieces being sucked upward.

Of all the people struggling trying to grab on to something, one lone figure was floating gently with his head upward.  Harry's voice was gone to the cause of zero gravity, but his lips were readable as his eyes.

"I feel it…"
