A World Deep in Disorder
Chapter Fifty-Seven: Executioner
Well, here's the second chapter of the day. You might be able to expect a third one after this. Also, if you haven't noticed already, there is a story in the Smash Bros. Section called Karaoke by Cookiesmadeofcake. That story is an alternate version of last story's chapter 50, written with my permission. Trust me, if you've read this far, reading that is an absolute must. Anyways… on with the final chapter of the Ben saga!
DISCLAIMER: Refer to the previous chapter's disclaimer
Last Chapter: Ben followed Devron's path of destruction. Witnessing the type of madman Devron truly is, Ben takes his anger and follows the trail of blood Devron left to the mountains…
Ben Saga Chapter V:
Saga Final ChapterThe gentle rain was still pouring as Ben made his way to the mountains. This time, however, thunder could be heard rumbling in the distance. Unfortunately, the trail of blood ended in the mountain region, so Ben didn't know exactly which mountain to find Devron in. He had to kill that crazed madman… for the sake of his family, the plains village, and everyone else murdered by that psycho.
…Meanwhile…
Lightning flashed as Devron finally made it to the cave near the top of the Mt. Albis. He walked slowly inside, still clutching his gut from the heavy wound he took from Kevin. Why'd his ex-master have to be so fucking powerful? He walked further and further into the dark cavern, until he came across a metal door. Pressing the buttons on the door in a certain sequence, the door of his hideaway opened.
Inside was a huge chamber with nothing in it. It was probably the length of a football field, and the height of one, too. The walls and floor all seemed to be made of steel, and on the other side of the chamber was a series of buttons. After walking the full length of the football-field sized room to the other side, Devron pushed the down button. Suddenly, the floor of the entire room began to descend downwards… as if the floor was an elevator, and the large chamber was only the top floor. After the floor itself descended for a minute, it stopped. There was a set of metal sliding doors that opened automatically as Devron approached. It led to a much smaller, and actually not metal or rock-made room. It was more like a normal room.
Devron sat down on the bed, and took a drink of a silver liquid that was in a cup on his desk. Suddenly, his wound closed up as if nothing had ever happened, and Devron regained his energy back to top shape. It was if he'd just woken up from a long nap. "Back to full… I guess I'll be ready to kill more in just a minute…
…While all of this was going on…
Lightning bolt flashed as Ben dashed up the mountain. The gentle rain had actually grown into a full thunderstorm. He was in his fox form, using his greatly enhanced speed to go up and down mountains, searching for some type of secret lair, with ease. However, he then noticed a particularly large mountain not that far off. It's peak extended into the dark and ominous clouds, where a dangerously high amount of lightning flashed. Ben shrugged. "It's worth a shot…" He stated, dashing off towards the mountain. Soon enough, he found a cavern entrance that was worth checking out. Transforming back into his human form, he decided to venture in.
The cave went deeper and deeper into the mountain until he found a set of metal doors that were apparently locked. Ben looked at the number combination entry panel, and decided to try his luck by entering a sequence of numbers.
…Meanwhile…
Devron lay down on his bed, sipping the last of his silver tea. Suddenly, the intruder alarm blared, and Devron looked into the security camera. "Hahah… well… the kid's coming… might as well… let him in." He laughed, pressing the medium-sized blue button on his desk.
…Back to Ben…
The door that Ben was at suddenly opened. 'Guess it was the right combination…' He thought. He walked into the large room, only to almost fall into the overwhelmingly long pit. The door seemed to go into a room without a floor, and looking down, Ben saw nothing but darkness… way too long of a jump, and not sure at all if it was safe to.
Suddenly, he heard an electronic mechanism moving throughout the mountain itself. The huge metal floor suddenly rose to where it should have originally been, making the original football field-length room. On the rising floor was none other than Devron, the world's most notorious psychopathic killer. "It's only been a day… and you've already tracked me down… impressive." Devron stated.
"Whatever, Devron. Time for you to die." Ben stated, transforming into his Fox form. His eyes turned red, and a red aura began to appear around him. "What's this? Hm… perhaps you may put up a fight after all…" Devron stated, transforming into his ganondorf form, and whipping out his guillotine-like blade.
Ben whipped out his beam saber, and went berserk at Devron, who blocked the beam saber with his blade. The two weapons clashed, and both were using all of their strength to overpower the other. It seemed to be a stalemate at the moment, but that didn't keep the two from continuing the struggle. Ben then used his other hand to take out his blaster, and shoot Devron with it. Devron grunted in pain, but then used his own free hand to grab the gun and crush it. Discarding the broken weapon, Ben focused both of his hands on his beam sword, and Devron focused his two hands, as well.
Suddenly, they both released the deadlock, and slashed through each other. However, both of them seemed to take little if any wounds from that, and began an extremely fast-paced swordfight. Devron then knocked Ben away with a well-timed slash. Ben however dashed right back at Devron as soon as he touched the ground.
"Impossible! How could he recover from that so quickly!" Devron exclaimed. His answer, however, was a beam saber pierced through his gut. "Aurrggh!" Devron exclaimed. However, Ben ripped his blade out, and impaled him again.
…and again…
…and again…
…and again…
…and again…
…and again…
…and again…
…and about twenty more times…
…and again…
…and once more for good measure…
Devron then breathed his final breath of air. As he coughed up the last of his blood, his life slipped from him. The red aura then disappeared off of Ben, and his eyes turned back to normal. He then transformed into his human form, and held his head. "Wha… what happened?" He asked. He then noticed Devron's bloody and dead corpse. 'I guess I did that… all I remember is seeing Devron… remembering the moment he killed my family… lots of anger… and now he's dead…' Ben thought.
"Self Destruct sequence in 10… 9… 8… 7…" An automated voice blared. "What?" Ben asked. Making his way for the room's exit as fast as he could. "…6… 5… 4… 3…" The voice continued. "…Almost…. There…" Ben thought, pushing it into his Fox form, and going as fast as he possibly could. "…2 …1" The voice concluded.
BEEEEEWWWWWWWMMMMM!
Ben collapsed, back in his human form. He made it out of the explosion, which completely destroyed Mt. Albis, but had exhausted himself in doing so. Exhausted himself too much. He couldn't even move. He just sat there… left to die in the storm… for he was losing the energy he needed to live. The large slash that Devron gave him was catching up with him. He was a goner. As he closed his eyes, death was on its way to claim him…
…Aftermath…
Ben woke up. "Where am I?" He asked. A figure stood over him. "Welcome to the Clan within the mountains. We found you unconscious in the storm, so we took you in and sheltered you… you're wounds should be completely healed, now." An old man stated. "Who are you… and how long have I been out?" Ben asked. "My name is Izam, and I'm the Clanmaster here in the village… and you've been out for three days." The old man said. "Well, thanks, Izam… is there any way I can repay you?" Ben asked. "Well, normally I wouldn't require anything, but I'm old, and the mountain bandit sightings have been getting more and more common…" Izam stated. "Say no more. I'll protect the village." Ben said. "You would? Thank you…" Izam began. "…Ben. Call me Ben." Ben stated.
End of Saga
