Death and Rebirth: Tale of Chaos

Prologue: Beginning of the End Pt.2

Disclaimer: This is getting ridiculous, but anyways I don't own jack-squat.

We had been traveling inside these ruins for some time, about 4 hours, maybe more. So far we have found that this ruin isn't a ruin at all. What it is we don't know, but it's operational. We have found ancient machinery here, very ancient yet still working. Whatever this was, it was built to last.

However, as we traveled deeper and deeper everyone felt something was off. Some of the walls and floors are covered in some organic-like material. We also found was looked to be some kind of pod shooting out gas, at least thats what we thought. One of the soldiers who checked it out died almost instantly, the gas was poisonous.

"I don't like this," I spoke "everything is off, and I think I might be going crazy but there's something here, there's something alive here."

Flowen looked at me, a look of concern, and a slight trace of fear on his face, but there was something else as well, like he knew there was something here. He spoke to me then, "So you have felt it too. I agree there is something living here." He suddenly stopped, it was then I felt it. The feeling I had first gotten when we arrived here, it became stronger.

None of us were ready, out of a dark purple-like mist these, creatures appeared. They appeared in large numbers. Many of the soldiers were killed, even more were injured. The guns the soldiers were armed with had no to little effect on these things. Myself and Flowen, with our swords, stood better chances against them, but in the end we we're simply two people and we couldn't hold off this many for long.

In the end we retreated through the pathways, but something was wrong. I think only Flowen and myself realized it, but the creatures weren't pursuing us, but they were blocking the way we came from. I realized then, that these creatures were intelligent, or something was controlling them, for they were forcing us to go deeper into the ruins.

When we finally found an open area that was relatively safe, we had lost almost all our soldiers. Of the 30 that came with us, only 7 survived, all but Kael were injured. However something was strange, the injuries they had healed fast, too fast for a newman, far to fast for a human. Though they healed it left them with these strange scars, dark purple scars, that seem to be moving, as if they were alive.

We ran, as we reached what appeared to be the end of the ruins, it happened. It had been horrible, when we made it to the end of the ruins, the injured soldiers that were with us acted strangely. At that instant one of them began yelling saying that it was free, and then his yelling turned to screams of pain. His body began, morphing. He was turning into one of those things, I had turned quickly and saw the others where changing as well. Kael, the only soldier who had gone through this mission uninjured, told me and Flowen to run. To tell the everyone that this planet wasn't safe, to leave as quickly as possible.

He most likely was killed, or he was now one of them. As cruel as it may sound, I hoped he had died, better than being one of those things. We were almost to the exit, we fought off several of the creatures that blocked our path, getting injured in the process. We both were aware of what may happen to us now, but at the moment we didn't care. As we neared the exit, we felt it. Turning around we saw it, the creature that had been freed. When I gazed at Flowen he seemed to recognize it. I wanted to question him but now was not the time, not the place. The creature, if it could be called that, it had no true form but appeared to be this, mass. Constantly shifting, as if it was going through the phases of life and death. But, before it could reach us we had escaped.

I don't know what it was, but as soon as we escaped I yelled out. "MUUT DIS POUMN!" As I said that, the seal that we first encountered reappeared, and it had stopped that thing from reaching us. But before it left, it spoke to me.

"YOu mAY haVE escaped, but YoU will return, it will caLl to YOU to mE. So tIll neXt time."

That was the last thing I heard, before darkness claimed me.

Well I might revise this chapter later, maybe not. Anyways I think there should be only one more part of the prologue left. Review, criticize whatever till next time.
