Omega 17

(Chapter twenty-one) Night Walker's Revenge

*Davald stands smiling as the area around Amara and Jake explode and the dust whirls around like a maelstrom*

"Ah such a waste...could have had such potential...but alas i cannot work with disobedient subjects"

*Davald moves from the sight and walks towards the Night Walker a smile playing on his lips*

"Now Mr.Walker...what to do with you..."

*the Night Walker's cyan glowing eyes roam the room settling upon Davald. In its eyes show pure murder but its body is too weak too damaged to function properly unable to obey the command to kill the man before it. Its eyes roam away from Davald towards the smokey area where Jake and Amara were moments ago before the detonation. Its eyes stay for some time before they flicker with a sudden ray of hope. inside the smoke it makes out two shapes...and they are moving. Determined to give the two beings time to recover Night Walker moves its undying stare back to Davald and begins to speak*

"Yooouuu....aaarre...deeeaad...willll...paaay....fooor....theee...deaaaad..."

*Davald lets out a barking laugh as he twirls the small black device in his hand*

"I am going to die and pay for the ones i have killed? come now Mr.Walker don't you get it yet? I AM IN CONTROL HERE!"

*he flicks on the device again and the Night Walker begins writhing in agony once more. the creature could feel its life essence fading and fast but it was determined to stay alive long enough to see this through to the end. once the device was clicked off again the Night Walker steeled itself trying to stay awake as its gaze once more pierced into Davalds*

"Youuu...aare...deeaaad..."

*Its voice seemed to sound so far away. It hung on to life for all it was worth wanting to ensure Jake and Amara had the time they required to finish this. Davald leers down upon the broken form of the Night Walker and goes to press upon the device once more this time intent upon killing the wretched creature that would dare disobey him when a rock comes sailing at high speed and smashes into his hand with a loud crack of snapping bone he screams and drops the device watching as it breaks upon the ground like an eggshell upon metal and he whips around to see Jake leaning agasint the wall blood dripping from many wounds and Amara standing in front of him a shield of wind protecting them and several stones swirling around her*

"You REALLY underestimate your opponents often don't you Mr.Davald?"

*Her face is twisted into a look of amusement and Davald takes a slight step back before catching himself and he smiles snapping his hand back into place and the bones begin to repair themselves*

"Oh yes quite the smart-mouth aren't you? Well regardless it does not matter....for you will be dead shortly and once i finish with you I'll move onto Jake. I'll kill you both slowly so you can feel every moment of agony...and I'll make Jake watch as i peel your body like an orange. Now doesn't that sound delightful?"

*Davald grins insanely his eyes seeming to glow and Amara glares with murder in her eyes as Jake straightens himself up. With a bit of effort he pushes away from the stone support blood falling in small pools below him and Amara looks at him shaking her head pleading but Jake simply smiles. He begins to walk past her when he stumbles slightly and leans on her looking up and his eyes widen. He looks seemingly at Davald but upon closer inspection his eyes move past him...towards the large shadow like form looming behind him barely standing but holding its own the Night Walker was on its feet its claw like hands reaching out towards Davald. Davald seems to sense this because he turns around just in time for the Night Walkers hands to close on his throat and he begins to kick and slam against the might beast struggling for freedom but the Night Walker had a strength previously lost but now renewed...the memories from before began to play inside its head...a time when its body was human and Phoenix was still alive and its strength increased now fighting for its life rather then giving in and its voice began to rise like a tidal wave as it looked deep into Davald's eyes*

"YOOOUU.....ARRRREEEE....DEAD! PAAAAY FORRR YOU'RRRE CRIMES!"

*with a mighty roar the Night Walker began to squeeze down trying to snap Davalds neck  while turning to Jack its eyes ablaze*

"DOOOO IIIIITTT...SEEET THE FIIIIRE..."

*Jake looks at him confused before understanding dawns upon him and he looks at the Night Walker a look of pain as he shook his head not wanting to do what was indicated what was asked of him knowing the cost but the Night Walker simply howls it again as more blood flowed from its wounds. Jake grit his teeth nearly snapping his own jaw as he shut his eyes tightly and with a yell of guilt and hate set the path before him ablaze the floor and soon Davald along with the Night Walker were engulfed in the blazing flames of retribution and began to burn Davalds screams echoing deeply inside the caverns as the Night Walker kept its grip firm and true upon the monsters neck even as it burned and began to fall away into ash, its grip never once faltered taking with it the monster that had created it. It felt like an eternity had passed before Davalds screams finally subsided and before Amara and Jake lay only partial forms of what they once were the Night Walker still holding firmly to Davalds neck and Davald slowly crumbling away into ash and dust. Jake sunk to the floor his hands over his face his shoulders shaking as guilt ran rampant inside of him. Amara quietly stepped over to him and knelt down to  give comfort the best she could. It had been an absolute nightmare but it seemed that perhaps...just perhaps they could find a small solace of peace for their deeds. The Night Walker seemed to be smiling as the great armored creature lays still bent forward its head now bowed as the armor whistles softly with the wind gently blowing thru inside at last empty....the soul freed from its eternal torment. Amara smiles softly as she gently grips Jake and they begin their long ascension up the winds curling around them and lifting them back thru the tunnel structure....maybe they could finally get some rest...as soon as Blackwell was finished off for good. The fire in Jake's eyes seemed dimmer but still it blazed as they neared the top. He knew what was going to be needed of him of what was needed to be done and he steeled himself for the next coming days knowing he had to carry on if peace were truly ever to come about*

"Jake don't you ever do that to me again"

*Amaras voice sounds so calm yet shaky and Jake looks up his wounds still bleeding slightly and he gives a half smile*

"I promise i will try darling...i can't always promise that"

*Amara looks back up as they continue to ascend the top in sight*

"At least try Jake....i can't lose you...alright? besides if you die I'll have to go to Hell and kick your ass myself and thats just gonna piss me off because I'll have to make such a long trip"

*Jake chuckles and coughs as they reach the top and land softly. turning they look into the distance as the light shines on a smoking battlefield and they both harden their own resolves. They knew...this war was not yet over*
