Chapter 12: Battle Royal

The arrival of the Cordyceps infection from The Last of Us had not only added more horror to the Dark Nation, but it had also brought with it one of the most terrifying creatures from that world: the Rat King. A massive, grotesque fusion of infected bodies, the Rat King moved with terrifying strength and fury, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. It was a living testament to the ultimate evolution of the Cordyceps infection, a force of nature that knew no equal.

As the Rat King roamed the twisted, fog-filled streets of the Dark Nation, its many bodies twisted together into a monstrous whole, it caught sight of two towering figures locked in their own endless battle—Pyramid Head and Jason Voorhees. These two unstoppable forces had clashed ever since the merging of the worlds, neither able to best the other, each strike of their weapons echoing through the desolate landscape.

But now, a new contender has entered the fray. The Rat King, driven by primal rage and infected instinct, saw the two legendary figures and charged toward them, its monstrous form barreling forward with a speed that belied its size. With a deep, guttural roar, the Rat King crashed into the battlefield, eager to prove its might against these two infamous killers.

Pyramid Head and Jason paused for a brief moment, sensing the overwhelming presence of this new threat. The ground shook as the Rat King lunged at them, its massive, infected limbs reaching out with brutal force. The battle between Pyramid Head and Jason had been fierce, but now, the fight was about to escalate to an entirely new level.

Jason, ever the silent force of destruction, swung his machete with deadly precision, aiming for the Rat King's grotesque body. The blade sliced through fungal growths and infected flesh, but the creature barely seemed to notice. With a roar, the Rat King retaliated, slamming one of its massive, twisted limbs into Jason, sending him crashing through a nearby wall with bone-shattering force.

Pyramid Head, ever the executioner, raised his Great Knife and swung it with immense power, aiming to cleave the Rat King in two. The blade struck the creature's body, and for a moment, the infected mass seemed to stagger. But the Rat King was unlike any enemy Pyramid Head had faced before—it was a creature of pure infection and rage, a fusion of many, constantly evolving. It turned toward Pyramid Head with a savage intensity, swinging its massive arms in a frenzy, knocking the executioner off balance.

The three titans clashed in an unholy battle of might. Each blow from Jason's machete and Pyramid Head's Great Knife tore into the Rat King, but the creature responded with brutal, unrelenting strength. The infected monster's strength was unmatched, and even as it took damage, it fought back with fury, its many mouths snarling, its limbs swinging wildly.

The battlefield around them was torn apart. Buildings crumbled, and the infected streets of the Dark Nation became littered with debris as the three combatants fought for dominance. The zombie hordes from Dawn of the Dead, Dead Rising, 28 Days Later, The Walking Dead, Night of the Living Dead, and World War Z swarmed around the edges of the battle, drawn by the chaos but too weak to intervene in the titanic struggle unfolding before them.

The battle between Jason Voorhees, Pyramid Head, and the Rat King seemed destined to continue without end. Each of them represented an unstoppable force, driven by a singular purpose—destruction. Jason's silent fury, Pyramid Head's relentless execution, and the Rat King's primal rage clashed again and again, turning the battlefield into a war zone of unimaginable carnage.

As the battle raged on, the fog of Silent Hill thickened, and the oppressive atmosphere of the Dark Nation grew darker still. The ground trembled beneath the weight of the fight, and the sky above seemed to crack with the intensity of their blows. The creatures of the Dark Nation—Creepypasta horrors, Silent Hill monsters, and countless others—watched in awe as the three titans waged war, each one determined to emerge victorious.

But in the Dark Nation, no battle ever truly ended. The war between these three legendary figures had only just begun, and as the Dark Nation continued to grow and mutate, so too did the conflict between its greatest monsters.
