The Apocalypse 2: Rise of Zephiles [The Original]

Ch. 25

Jason opened his eyes. He was standing in a large room with large stone pillars. "Wave?" his voice echoed. "You here?" He stepped off of the teleportation platform and made his way to the center of the room. He looked around but couldn't see much. It was very dark and very creepy. He heard a scratching noise, like claws against metal. "Wave?" he repeated. He backed up into pillar. The pillars were all spaced evenly at six feet. He felt a clawed hand grab him by the leg. He was knocked to the floor. "You're so weak, Jason." Wave said. Jason got up. "You're fighting on the wrong side, Wave. You've gotta snap out of it." "You don't get it, Jason. I like being bad. It's so much fun." "This isn't like you. You're usually--" "Enough talking." she said, blasting Jason with dark energy. He crashed into a pillar and fell to the floor. "How could you do that?" Jason asked getting back up. "When Mephiles transfered some of his DNA to me, I got some of his powers. Transfer, speed, strength..." she raised her hand. "and dark energy blasts." She sent another blast of dark energy. This time, Jason dodged it. Wave lunged at him, swiping her claws. Jason blocked the attack. Wave continued attacking and Jason continued blocking. Wave threw a punch but Jason grabbed her fist. Wave threw another punch and Jason grabbed that, too. "You can't just keep blocking, Jason." Wave said. "Sooner or later, you'll have to attack." "No, I don't." Jason said, struggling to hang onto her fists. She was surprisingly strong. "We'll see." Wave said with a smile. "I'm not gonna fight you." "Your loss." she said. She dropped her fists and delivered a kick that knocked Jason to the ground. She grabbed him by the shirt collar and pulled him up. Then she punched him twice in the stomach and threw him into a pillar. He stumbled, trying not to fall. "You know... I wasn't going to attack you because I didn't want to hurt Wave." He stood straight up and stared into her eyes. "But you're not Wave. Not anymore." She smiled. "Finally, you get it. I may be Wave but I'm not the Wave you befriended." "Shame." Jason said. "I really liked her." He delivered an uppercut and she stumbled backwards into a pillar. "I see you still have your strength." Wave said, stepping away from the pillar. "You ready to fight?" "Oh, it's on." Jason said. Wave threw a punch. Jason ducked, causing Wave to punch a chunk out of the pillar. Jason threw a punch and Wave blocked it, delivering one of her own. Jason caught it, too. With great strain, Jason spun Wave around and threw her at a pillar. Instead of slamming into it, she grabbed onto it and crawled up into the shadows. "Now that's not fair." Jason said. "All's fair in love and war." Wave's voice echoed. "Isn't that right?" "Where's the love?" Jason asked. "You're tryin' to kill me." "But we are at war, aren't we?" "I really wish we weren't." He pulled out his sword. "Well, well, well." Wave's voice echoed. "Looks like you're starting to take this seriously." "I'll do what I must." Jason said, getting ready to attack.
