UOG, RECUPERATION HALL*
Isobel's scattered body made Miss Dora feel like throwing up immediately she sighted it.
She had to cover her mouth and look away from it since it's so f+çking gory and hard to look at.
"Calm your balls, man!" Elijah shouted.
He's still covering his eyes, same as the rest of them.
Slade's eye shine persisted, and another roar from him shook the hall again, causing numerous cracks on the wall.
The place is at the verge of crumbling down, and if caution is not applied, everyone might just die in there with him.
"Do something!!" Elijah shouted at white.
"He's too angry, and it's getting the best of him. I can't handle him at this point" White replied.
"Are we all gonna die in here then? He needs to stop his eye shinning thing and the roars!!" Elijah shouted again.
"I'll do it!" Timothy immediately took his hand away from his face, going forward.
"Dad!!" Elijah shouted fearfully as Timothy jumped on Slade, the the latter gripped his throat, raising him from the ground.
"You...you have to control your head...I am your...father!" Timothy gagged, water escaping his eyes as his legs shook midair.
"Timothy!!" Grandpa Cedric shouted.
Uriel and Miss Dora were too shocked to form a word, they're just shaking.
Slade gagged Timothy more, and blood dropped from Timothy's nose.
"Stop it! Twillie is waiting for you! You have to go get her!!" Onyx ran into the hall, and immediately her voice penetrated into Slade's ear, he dropped Timothy who's almost at death point.
Slade's eyes gradually stopped the shine, and the veins on his neck disappeared.
His fingers straightened, but his hair remained white as his body calmed.
"Sladie!!" Onyx sniffled, rushing to hug him tight.
"I thought we were gonna die. Thanks for coming back" she cried.
"How is she back immediately he's back?" Elijah faced Uriel.
"Because their lives are connected. She's his soul animal, so if they experience a life-death situation together, they either die together or survive together" Uriel replied.
"You're closer to him than we his family members, aren't you?" Elijah said.
Uriel sighed.
"I'm ashamed. I claim to be the closest family member to him, but I know nothing about him too" Grandpa Cedric said, wiping tears again.
Timothy stood from the ground, and Onyx broke the hug with Slade who looks more in shape now.
"Light..." He muttered.
"They took her away. Rihannon and Greg" Onyx replied.
Slade got his phone immediately and tried to check out the microchip location, but he got no signal.
Before anyone should stop him, he bolted out of the wall, flying out of the castle in form of fireflies.
"Where is he going?" Timothy asked, rubbing his neck.
"He's gonna trace her scent, obviously" Onyx replied.
Miss Dora finally took her hand away from her face, taking in the whole scene, and White exhaled.
Their eyes went to Aimee's body on the ground at the same time, and Elijah knelt beside her.
He carried her in his arms, and the two older men went with him out of the hall.
"Who're you by the way?" Miss Dora faced White.
"White Jordan, Dr. Kali's son" he replied, and she gasped.
"That kind soul had a son? Oh my gawd!" Miss Dora quickly hugged him appreciatively.
"Thanks for saving the day. Thank you very much" she said.
White nodded, breaking the hug.
"It's what I had to do, Greg wouldn't kill mother and go freely" he said.
"I knew something was fishy about her death" Miss Dora shook her head.
"She'll rest in peace once Greg is punished" he replied.
"Do you care for water? You need treatment too...your skin is ruined" Miss Dora said, checking him out.
"I'm afraid I can't take water or medication till I hear about Greg's punishment" he replied.
The lady nodded. "Then follow me to the infirmary then"
White followed her, leaving only Onyx in the hall.
She looked around at Isobel's body on the ground, and she sighed.
"Deserve" she muttered.
"Onyx!" Ruslan came into the hall, and she smiled slightly.
"Hey! Ruslan" she waved with an hand.
He came to her and almost gave her a hug, but he restrained himself.
"Thanks for coming back" he smiled.
"So... we're friends now?" She said dryly.
"Of course, and you seem sadder than everyone else" he replied.
"Of course I'm sad. Twillie is still missing" she replied, and he finally gave her the hug.
"She'll be fine, you only have to trust Mr. President" he said, and Onyx immediately broke the hug.
"When he finds Twillie and they both get their happy ending, you can hug me properly then" she said, and he nodded.
"Yeah...deal" he said.
"I'll kill you!!!!" Echo suddenly ran in with a machete, and they both turned around to sight her.
She's glossing with jealousy, envy, rage and fury. All in one body.
"Step aside" Onyx said, and Ruslan obeyed.
"You can't make me fall in love with you then proceed to fool around with a cat!!" Echo shouted, throwing the machete at them.
By calculation, it should have hit Ruslan, but Onyx was able to direct it back to her.
Echo was more than shocked when the machete turned back to her, and she started running out in fear.
She couldn't escape though, cos the cutlass hit her back, coming out on her stomach.
She fell dead by the door, her blood mixing with Isobel's blood on the ground.
"How...are you able to do that?" Ruslan asked in astonishment.
Onyx faced him. "Experiencing death made me realize that inhaling Twillie's scent isn't just for my shape shifting, it also empowers me" she replied.
"Why?" He asked again.
"Cos I was destined to be part of Sladie and Twillie story in this life, so if they get a happy ending, I get one too." She replied.
"And will they get the happy ending?" Ruslan asked fearfully.
Onyx walked out of the hall without replying, and he gulped.
*
REN'S ROOM*
"I told you I'm capable. Stop being like this. Isn't it just pregnancy? We have just one more year to be done with thos shitty school, and I'm ready to father it" Ren said.
Imogen is pacing the room restlessly.
"The problem is not you cos you don't have a choice but to father it. The problem is with me! I'm not ready to become a mother! I'm still too young and I need to slay before venturing into motherhood, don't you understand?" She replied, stopping in front of him.
"Then what next?" He stood.
"I get an abortion" she replied.
"What!" He gasped.
"What?"
"Think twice! You could die!" He held her shoulders, but he shoved him off
She sat in bed, picking the diary from yesterday.
"You can't abort. I'm not ready to get arrested by your father of you die" Ren said, walking around in front of her.
She never replied again, just opening the diary without looking up.
When she got to the middle, she tore apart the gummed part without waiting, and a flashdrive fell out.
"What's that?" Ren asked, picking it
"We only have to find out" Imogen replied, taking it from him.
She went back to her room, and he followed him there. She inserted the drive in her laptop, taking a deep breath before playing the only video on it.
She couldn't believe her eyes when it began playing, and teeth nearly withered away from her mouth.
It's a video of Lord Vann pushing her mother during their hike, and it captured how the woman rolled down the hill, dying in the pool of her own blood when she rolled to the base.
"F+ck" Ren sounded behind her.
"Father?... killed mother?" Imogen stood, the laptop falling down as she immediately felt stabbed.
"He...he did? W..why?" She stuttered, crying already.
"Why!!!" She yelled.
She ran to Echo's bed and took the gun under the pillow__the one Echo picked from the park... Tamlin's gun.
"Father!!!" She yelled, storming out of the room, and Ren followed her.
"Imogen!!"
*
Even as a firefly touring the night sky, Slade could still smell the whole town that night.
The smell of alcohol, s+x, darkness, lust and sins wafted through his nose as he navigated the atmosphere, but he still couldn't get her scent.
He has almost toured the whole town right now, but there's still no hope, and there's no giving up.
He slid into a lower altitude, the lights on his body brightening as he inhaled more, getting more vigilant.
This area is silent, and there are scanty lights like it's a new area where people aren't that many yet.
He went even lower, and he caught a whiff of dark energy which made him halt.
Greg??
He went even lower again, and despite the smell of dark energy which threatened to close it out, the jasmine still filled the air.
He could smell her now, the jasmine. He could f+çking smell it, but not only that.
He could ear her cries too, in his ears.
*
A CATHEDRAL, SALEM STREET*
Twilight's cries didn't stop rushing out despite the fact that she has cried so much already.
It's like there's no end to the fountain of her tears.
She's at the alter with Tamlin and the priest already, and the thirty staffs they came with are in two lines by the church entrance, staying at alert.
The church is well lightened since there are yellow chandeliers everywhere, and in the middle of the church, Greg sat like a proud father, watching the front with a mean smile.
Tamlin is currently saying his vows, and their rings are ready to be exchanged after the vows
Twilight's cries keot interrupting Tamlin's vows, so he slapped her.
"Shut up!" He glared.
Twilight's eyes reddened, and the priest pinched himself. Obviously, he's under pressure cos he was forced to do this.
Tamlin continued his vows, and Greg got a call from Rihannon which he went outside to pick.
Immediately he stepped out, something stuck his core, and his eyes widened as he stood still.
Something is not right. This only happens if a captive escapes.
Does that mean White is gone? And he's just getting a signal?
It must be because he was inside the church. The church holy grounds must have blocked the signal from reaching him.
"Hell!" He hit the wall.
Ignoring Rihannon's call, he tried casting a spell from the front of the church, but then he felt a greater energy emerging.
His eyes widened, and another slash hit his core, powerful than the first.
He even bled from the mouth this time, leaning on the wall.
This only means one thing. Slade broke free!
He ran back into the church just when Tamlin was about to insert the ring into Twilight's finger.
He did the breeze curse same way he did for Owen 320 years ago, and Twilight got lost immediately, all her traces disappearing.
"What did you do!" Tamlin grabbed Greg.
"She'll never be found! It's the only way to limit the coming disaster!" Greg replied, and that instant, a new presence landed in front of the church.
They looked forward to see Slade standing there, back in his full Monster form.
"What the f+ck!" Tamlin gasped, falling on his butt fearfully.
The priest took the alter water, spraying it around himself to avoid getting affected by the darkness.
As Slade stood in the church front, even though Twilight is gone with the curse, her scent is still there
It's coming directly from Tamlin's body, and it only means one thing.
Defilement.
Tamlin touched her.
He touched her!!
Slade's eyes glowed, and he entered the church with the speed of flash, passing through the middle of the lined up staffs.
He stopped when he got to the end of the line, and all the staffs he passed through fell dead on the church tiled group.
Their bodies began rotting immediately, and Greg started cursing, but all his curses didn't work on Slade.
They're like stone meeting a rock, bouncing back or getting crushed.
He did a lot of spell in that same moment, but the spells are just as useless as the curses
It's like his powers are impotent in front of Slade right now.
Tamlin stood, grabbing the priest to cover himself.
"If you come closer, I'll kill him!" He threatened.
The holy water fell from the priest, pouring away as he shivered in Tamlin's grip.
Slade released fireflies, and the purple flies surrounded Greg, building a barrier and trapping him on his spot.
"Killing me will ruin a lot of things! You think you can do that? I cast a breeze curse on her and she's not on the surface of the earth anymore! If you provoke me, you'll never be able to find her!" Greg shouted from the barrier middle.
Slade turned his back on the motherfûcker, then he faced Tamlin who's still holding the priest as hostage.
He made the priest sleep off, and the fat man fell from Tamlin.
Slade then drew Tamlin to himself, grabbing him by the middle of his legs.
"Arhhhhhg!!!!!" Tamlin cried, cos it was a bursting sound that followed.
Slade has bursted his balls, then he proceeded to plucking away his p+nis, sucking away Twilight's scent from his body completely.
Tamlin's cries were ear-piercing as blood ran down his legs, staining the church groud.
He proceeded to taking her out of the church, landing on the middle of a jungle with him.
He set him on fire, and Tamlin burned alive, running around as the fire fried him.
Slade stood immovably, watching him with widely open eyes, intensifying the fire everytime. The fire was intense, out of the ordinary
The grasses in the jungle even helped in the burning, cos five minutes later, Tamlin already turned to ashes, mixing with the jungle sand.
Slade easily gathered the ashes, and with that, he brought Tamlin back to life again, giving him breath.
Tamlin's eyes widened when he saw him again, and Slade grabbed him for the second time.
"We're only just starting, you still have more deaths to experience. You'll die multiple times, and each time will be memorable" Slade muttered, taking him away from the jungle.
He took him to Glennville river next, pushing him to the water where hungry sea animals are waiting at the base.
Tamlin was devoured within the twinkle of an eye, and Slade brought him back alive again from the belly of the animals.
He took him away from the river, dragging him to the mountains next.
Tamlin began crying when he saw the distance to the ground.
He'd split to pieces if he falls from here, no doubt.
"Please! Please don't!! Don't!!! Slade!!!!"
Slade already gave him a push, and as he fell, his screams reverberated in the whole area, piercing through the rocks
It was agonizing, cos by the time his body got to the base of the rocks, he was already in pieces like he expected.
Again, Slade brought him back to life, reforming his body and giving him another grab.
"Please... please...I did wrong!!! Forgive me!!! It's enough!!!" He cried desperately.
"Your punishment is to die gruesomely five-hundred times, and you're going to fulfill it. You'll get reborn each time you die, but you can't escape gruesome deaths each time you get reborn. You'll keep begging the gods to stop your rebirths, but it won't stop till eternity" Slade declared, releasing him.
Tamlin fell on his knees, and Slade left him there.
A minute after he left, Tamlin met himself in the middle of a railway suddenly.
Before he could move away, the train ran into him.
*
Slade went back to the church where Greg is still trapped inside the fireflies barrier.
"You can't kill me! If you kill me! You won't be able to find her!!" Greg yelled.
Slade took him without a word, going on a quick journey with him.
When they landed a minute later, it's a whole different place.
Dark clouds are covering the realm, and there are different worlds in the four angles too.
The upper part is a fire real, the lower part is oblivion river. Right angle is for wild animals, and left angle is a boiling quicksand dessert.
"What's this place?" Greg's eyes widened.
Slade snapped his fingers, and four chains stretched forward from nowhere, wrapping on Greg's two wrists and ankles.
They stretched him like a starfish, chaining him in the middle.
His clothes were stripped from him, leaving him completely n+ked.
"No!!! No you can't do this! You trespassed first when you took Owen without my permission!! You trespassed first!!! The fault is yours!!" He shouted from the middle, his manhood swinging.
"This is the punishment zone of Monsters clan. It's called Hellhole" Slade said, his voice husky.
Greg's eyes widened. "What!"
"You took all the thousands lifespan of my first life? You'll use all of the remaining ten thousand years here, getting punished everyday. You'll seek death but you won't find it" Slade said.
Greg swallowed.
"The four surrounding angles will take turns to punish you. The oblivion river will drown you, and the fire island will burn you next, then the wild animals will devour you slowly, and the boiling quicksand will swallow you too, all day long. They're interesting, aren't they?" Slade said.
"You kill me, you won't be able to get your Light back! Owen was able to survive the breeze curse because of the pearls on her, though that was the only time the pearls worked for her cos after i linked the two of us to your lifespan, your pearl began seeing her as a betrayer" Greg laughed derisively.
"But twilight won't survive! She doesn't have the pearls with her anymore! You'll lose her!" Greg threatened.
Slade went up to him, meeting him in the middle.
Without warning, he dived his clawed hand into Greg's stomach. Greg gasped, knowing what he's gonna do.
"No! You can't take it! You take that!!" He shouted.
Slade searched Greg's tummy with has fingers, touching the heart, the lungs, liver, before finally finding the core.
He brought it out, and Greg bled a lot.
His core is a small black orb, housing his energy and powers.
Slade broke it without thinking, and Greg became weak in every inch.
*
CAVERN, CAGES*
The breaking of the core made all the cages open by themselves, and the rocks on which they're built began crashing down one by one.
Rihannon is still inside Damien's cage, wondering why Greg is not picking her calls, but immediately she saw ehata happening, she gasped.
"Father is in danger!"
She was about to step out when a stinging pain hit her head, and she held it, going down on her knees.
"Hyaaaa!!!!!!" She cried out, holding her head tightly as it rang even more.
Despite the situation, Damien rushed to her.
"Riri! Riri are you ok? Riri!"
She pushed him away, and the pain in her head grew, stretching to her chest.
"Ackkk!!!!!" She gritted, rolling on the ground like a child.
"F+ck!! F+ck my head!!!! My..."
"My head! My head!!!!!!"
Owen ran out of her own open cage, rushing to them.
"Let's get her out" she said.
Damien nodded, carrying Rihannon out of the cage.
Owen was running after him, and as they left the bridge,it collapsed more and more, till the cages disappeared with the bridge, down the rocks.
*
LUTHER'S ISLAND, STELLA'S ROOM*
The core break reached Stella too, and she opened her eyes in bed, getting down quickly.
She checked her body out, and when she strangely felt good, she opened her mouth ...
"Killa" she called sharply without stuttering.
"Oh my gawd! I'm fine! I'm fine!!!" She shouted, running out of the room.
"Madam!" The guards blocked her way.
"I'm fine, and 27 years ago, I gave birth to four babies. Greg took the fourth one and named her Rihannon right in front of me, then he hid her and made me sick to shut me up! He told me Slade wasn't supposed to be inside me, he said he was Killa, the Purple Monster from his previous life, and he said he was gonna kill him" she said in a rush.
The guards were speechless, but then she bolted past them despite her barefoot.
"Help me look for Rihannon! She's probably with the devil! Help me find her!"
The guards went after her.
*
HELLHOLE*
Slade is still in front of Greg whose energy kept seems to has disappeared after the core break.
He smiled slightly.
"You think punishing me here for ten thousand years will make wickedness stop in the human world? K will continue the rest of the work, and you'll never have any idea who he is" he said powerlessly.
Slade smirked, his ridicule clear.
"My brain works ten times faster right now, and you think I'm still the daft clueless professor? You think I've not figured him out?" He said.
Greg grunted out. "You won't be able to find your Light anyways. She's lost for life"
*
UOG, INFIRMARY RESTROOM*
After Elijah confirmed Aimee's death, Timothy started crying all-over again.
Grandpa Cedric was crying too as he entered the restroom to wash his hands.
As the water wet his hand, he reeled back to the past, back to when five years old Slade ran away from the island.
22 YRS AGO*
Timothy had his agents search the whole city and town of Glennville for Slade after his disappearance from the island, but they found no trace
Grandpa Cedric knows Slade is a lover of silence and secrets, so he took it upon himself to search the only places left out.
The orphanages.
He searched three before arriving at the Arcade Home where he luckily found him in the orchard, killing birds as usual.
He sat beside him on the bench, and Slade just ignored him.
"You should come back home, grandson" he said.
"I'm not coming back home, Cedric" he replied, carrying his cat.
"Cedric? You should have started calling me grandpa by now. Timothy is my son, and you're Timothy's son, that makes me your grandpa" Cedric replied.
"Even if I start calling you that, I'm never going back to the island. I like it here" Slade replied, looking up.
"Then do you want me to visit daily?" Cedric asked.
"No"
"Should I pay you weekly then?" Cedric asked again, and the young boy looked at him.
"Why would you pay me weekly?"
"Cos I'm madly rich, and you're my grandson" the old man smiled, stroking Slade's long hair.
Despite the fact that the hair is dark, there are few white strands in it, and it has always been that way since he was born.
Cedric knew he was more special, totally different from Aimee and Elijah.
After leaving the orphanage that day, he met Greg, and their collaboration started after Greg explained things to him.
He introduced Greg to Kontrol production, and Greg connected his life to the longevity ritual.
~FLASHBACK ENDS~
Grandpa Cedric finished washing his hands, wiping with a towel afterwards.
He dropped the towel and took off his shirt suddenly.
He turned his back to the mirror, looking at the tattoo sitting there.
Big "K"
TBC.
