Chapter 16: Darkness takes over!
::Camera reopens to a blue blur zipping along the abandoned city streets, life appears to have moved on from this part of the city. Spectre race’s down the road huge billows of smoke from previous battles almost blot out the sun completely. Spectre changes direction to avoid incoming fire from men in orange, the camera moves to the interior of the car. ::“Who the hell are these people and why are they firing at me?” “There’s so many of them!” ::I make another hard turn back on the main road and gun it. Down the road I can see there’s a car parked…no..more like waiting…planning…(Did I just drive into a trap?) [Apparently you did] the demonic soul snidely remarks.
::The camera returns to the waiting car, a travel worn and rust colored El-Camino. A body lies motionless in the bed of the car - a poor soul who refused to answer for his sins who is now a reminder of what other sinners can expect. A large cross with a catapault attatchment is attached to the hood of the car, rusted and caked in blood. The preacher known as Jebidiah sat, glaring through his cracked glasses. “Who is this ungodly soul that dares approach me?” ::He sniffs the air:: “A pact with the devil!” “He has given his mind and body to Lucifer himself to win this contest” Jebidiah shouts over his intercom to the REFS surrounding the area. “In the name of God we will send this sinner back to hell where he belongs!”
:: Jedidiah launches two fire missiles from the grill of Brimestone, but the supercharged Vette easily evades while the missiles crash into a nearby building. Spectre returns fire with a barrage of machine gun bullets. Forcing the El-Camino to lurch forward. Both cars dance around each other desperately trying to get to a better firing position::
::Brimestone roars away and pulls a 180 in the middle of the road, Spectre roars away in the opposite direction, camera returns to the inside of Spectre (I can’t run away from every car I see, I doubt this guy is going to let me go) ::Spectre pulls a 180 degree turn and slides to a stop. ::The radar shows that these are the only two cars in the area:: ::Camera shows both drivers upclose “it’s a battle to the death”
::Spectre launches forward, charging menacingly towards the resting camino. A man in orange runs into the middle of the road, his arms out stretched as if he were Jesus Christ himself.:: ::The camera shows a close up of the man’s chest as the giant spear like cross impales him, his body twitches he moans from the pain the spear is causing him. “For God can not fail!” Jebidiah exclaims as he races towards Spectre. Jebidiah presses a button and the man is launched like a human rocket, screaming in agony from the car heading straight for the roof of Spectre.
::Spectre manages to avoid the flying man by hoping the curb. The man flies head first into an abandoned building and explodes:: “They’re strapped with explosives?” That’s insane!” I say. “How can he have so many followers that are willing to die for him.?” [Switch out with me, I can take him] [Let me drive] the demon insists (Like hell I will, I’ll never keep my sanity nor get my body back from you) ::The camera shows another man flying through the air towards Spectre. The man manages to land on the trunk. “RE-PENT!” he screams ::Spectre pulls another 180 and the man is launched from the trunk of the car and goes sailing into a section of row homes. [You’re going to get us killed!] ::My vision begins to turn black and white, every color begins to wane from my prospective:: “What’s happening?” I can hear my voice echoing, but that’s about it. All other sounds are muffled. (I’m losing myself? Is he taking over?) (How can this be?) ::Spectre races past Brimstone, Jebidiah see the face of the driver, smiling ear to ear laughing manically as he drives on by. “He truly is a demon, and I must put a stop to him” Jebidiah begins to turn Brimestone around when he slams on the brakes as a ricochet disc whizzes by the front of his car. “Coward!” Yells the Preacher. ::Another man in orange steps out in front his car and gets impaled. Once again the cat and mouse act between the cars continue. (He’s charging right for me again, but I’m not going to let him pass me) the preacher thinks to himself.
::The camera follows the ricochet disc almost collided with Brimestone, it bounces off a building at the end of the road and returns back up the street - doubling its speed and damage rate.
:: (you’re going to get us killed) I yell back, (taking him head on is suicide) (I DON’T NEED YOU, SO STOP INTERFERING) with that last line I manage to break free some of the control it has over me and I slam on the brakes. Spectre screeches to a hault. [You’re the one interfering! Don’t you get it, I’ll win if you just leave things to me!] The demon fights back to regain control and slams the gas pedal down. ::Brimestone launches another follower that lands on the roof of the accelerating car. BOOM! The ricochet disc crashes into the back of the El Camino and sends the car onto the front two tires snapping the spear of the cross completely off. ::“REPENT!” yells the man in orange (SHIT! We’re going to die!) [I don’t think so] Spectre comes screaming to a halt and re-launches the REF back towards Brimestone who is now almost completely vertical. “No This can not be!” I was chosen by God! I was almighty! Why lord? Why can’t I defeat this demon?” The man crashes through the roof of the car and explodes. Shrapnel and blood shower the immediate area [We’re too close to his car!] The explosion engulfs Spectre and sends it sailing through the air and into a factory. The car slams into the wall and comes to a rest.
::The camera goes into the interior of Spectre and shows the driver, bloodied from the impact desperately trying not to fall in unconsciousness . (I can’t stay awake, I can’t do it) ::As I fall asleep I can hear voices, or so I think. Memories? Dreams? Both? Neither? The color’s are fading once again, but this time I can’t see.
[Yo, long time no see king]
