World Domination: The Story of Shadow
Chapter 7: What I came to see.
"Why… don't you k.. kill me?"
"You don't deserve to die Mai-an… No one does,"
"Y.. Your just weak… You're all weak! T.. that's why we lost… the war…"
"By order of the King you are to be banished…"
"Bha ha ha ha ha!"
"You are to remain on this world until the end of time…"
"End of time? What… did you wish for?"
My mind was hurting and jumbled, and my eyes wouldn't focus. I could here yelling and then a roar, so I started to retrace my steps. I remember coming to the temple, finding Keira, entering the Trials, Zack complaining about how hot it was and then…
A few moments ago…
BOOM! The door into the faith was now in peaces on the floor in front of us. "Hey, that was really cool!" Zack said with a big grin, "Do it again!"
"On what, you?" I said as the black mist was quickly sucked but into my hand, "Maybe I should, I'd love to see if I can rip a man apart,"
"No, on the wall or something," Zack continued not really taking the hint. Keira and I just looked at each other before heading into the most sacred part in the whole place. Got to say I was impressed. I could feel the power of the place, almost taste it. Zack walked in and stood for a few moments and then started to look a little skittish. "We shouldn't be here," he said taking a step back, "We came, we saw, now lets 'we left',"
"Lets 'we left'?" I mocked him, "Didn't take you to be religious,"
"I'm not. I don't really believe that stuff," He took another step.
"I believe in god," Said Keira, "Do you Matt?"
"I do..." I replied but I was staring at the glass dome with the faith in it, "He is the creator of all since the beginning," At that point I raised a hand and black mist quickly shot out and covered the glass dome. As soon as it was all covered I clenched my fist making the mist put pressure on the glass. After a few moments a cracking sound could be heard.
"What are you doing?!" Zack yelled running up to me grabbing my shoulder, "Stop it!"
"Just wait Zack," I flicked his hand off with amazing strength, "Wait and see," just after I finished talking the dome shattered, the mist catching all the glass and throwing it all to one side leaving the stone untouched. All the mist then started to spin turning into what looked like a small storm over the faith slowly moving down. "This will mark a new da…" but my little speech was cut off as a bust of invisible force pushed back all my mist, "The hell?" I asked looking over to the others as if they had something. They both looked at me comfused
"You will not control me like that, you who does not follow Yavan!" came a voice that sounded like it came from everywhere in the room. Before any of us could do anything the black mist started to move on its own then form an almost pitch black vision of Ifrit. "You are weak, heretic. Now be destroyed by the very thing you wanted to control!"
...Now
My eyes focused just in time to see Zack dive out of the way as Ifrit slammed a fist into the wall where he just was. Ifrit's head followed Zack and let out a burst of fire from his mouth, just missing him again. "You alright?" Keira asked helping me stand, "That hit you took looked hard,"
"Yeah," I replied pushing Keira to one side and dive the over direction as a fire ball hit the wall behind me.
"I think you pissed it off!" Zack yelled from the other side of the room.
"No shit Sherlock!" I yelled back as I dodged Ifrit's fist and then slashed its arm before I continued my sarcasm, "Was it the fact that it's trying to KILL US that tipped you off?!" Ifrit punched at me with his other fist but I jumped and landed on his arm. I run forward to slash at his face but was sent flying when he slapped me off with his first hand. I hit the wall leaving a crater the same shape as me.
"Matt!" Keira yelled running at toward me, "You okay?"
"No," I said getting up before she got to me. Meanwhile Zack jumped on Ifrit's back stabbing him and holding on. "Can't you use some magic to help out?"
"I'm a Genie not a Mage!" she yelled as we both dived out of the way of a fire ball, "We're going to die here if we don't get out!"
I stepped to one side as Ifrit grabbed Zack off his back and throw him at me. "I think that would be the right move to make," I grabbed Zack and pulled him to his feet then pushed him toward the door. Keira had already run through it by the time Zack and I go there.
"You cannot run from your punishment!" Came the voice of the faith again. As I run out of the room I looked behind me to see the Aeon turn back into black mist and slither after us like a snake.
"Run faster!" I yelled as I dive over the drop where you had to put the fire out. I landed on the other side with a roll to my feet. I was now in front of the other two and moving like the wind.
"Stand back everyone! I'll do a summoning!" I heard Yuna say inside my mind.
'That would had to happen now wouldn't it!?,' I looked behind us to see Ifrit gaining, 'Shit!'
'Why carn't I be strong enough?' Came Yuna's thoughts, 'If only was stronger!'
"Sorry guys, I got to jet!" I said as I slammed my sword point into the ground.
Zack's point of view
He vanished! Right in front of us he just jammed his sword into the ground, black shit covered him and then he was gone. We were all in the last room before we hit the main part of the temple. And he just upped and poofed out of there! I would have stopped and started yelling at him if the big thing wasn't after us.
"Keep running or it's going to get us!" Siad Keira running past me. Just then I heard a boom like sound. Looking behind me I saw Ifrit stuck in a small passage. After a second glance I noticed he wasn't all black. We didn't stop though, he burst out of the Triles and kept running until we were deep in the forest.
"That went... Fuckin horrible!" I yelled breathing hard, "I'm going to kill that cock sucker next time I see him!"
LordShadow: Oh look another chapter. And I renamed the story. The old name was crap. Really crap. So now I'll call it a World Domination: The Story of Shadow, 'n really tie it in with the rest of the World Dom stories like it should have been from the start. Anywho, work is really cutting into my time, so might be some time before the next chapter.
