Collin and the city of death (a spinoff to @xjarutox's story)

Chapter 34- Hell breaks loose

*Collin's POV*

"THAT BASTARD." My thoughts raced. Anger swelled through my body as I chased after the hooded man. I followed him outside, where he, the general, and my friends started to fly up the building. The hooded man used his green powers to do so. Making a cloud of green that sounded like screams of torture. I flapped my bird arms and flew after the captures"IM GONNA SLAUGHTER THOSE TWO, WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THEM, THEY WILL BURN" My thoughts screamed. I reached the roof of the building and immediately halted my rampage. I calmed down and took in what I saw. On top of the roof was a similar box and satellite dish like the one at the Beelzebub bar, only bigger. Quickly, Dianne and my friends raced from a nearby door "COLLIN WE CAME TO-" Dianne begun but stopped and saw what I saw "What the- what is this" The hooded man came out of the box, followed by the General and our friends "Welcome young Shinigami, to the beginning of the end of death" I popped my fire daggers and pointed them at the hooded man "Ok dark and creepy, who the fuck are you, why did you kill the Hell lords, and why did you hypnotize my friends" The hooded figure chuckled "I suppose I should take this time to explain my evil plan"

He then gripped his fist, causing green smoke to wrap around us, binding us in place. The hooded man walked past each one of us, mocking us, as he talked "Once apon a time, thousands of years ago, I lived in a village, a village of necromancers, we lived a simple life, we lived to ourselves and used our powers to reunite our loved ones, as to never keep our families apart. One day, your gods disliked our misuse of our lifestyle. So they slaughtered each and every single member of my village. All but me. Only after the raid did I find out about the war and the total annihilation of necromancers worldwide. From that day on, I swore I'd get my revenge. Why not revive my people, you ask? Well, unfortunately,

your gods sent their souls to Tartarus, the one place I could not access their souls. Even if I could, they only were half of the people they once were. For years, I roamed the earth in search of a way around this or a way to kill your kind for good. That's when a mysterious benefactor giftted me this" The hooded man reached into his robes and held a similar dark crystal to the one I pulled out of those creatures who attacked the walls "He never shown me his face, nor told me what this is, simple it was a Cube and that it was sure to boost my power ten fold. He also gave me some of these strange robotic contraptions, the large creatures known as Caretakers, and finally a spell, A spell that I now may use, You see he told me, all I had to do for him in return was to take the surface world in his name and to make sure, I killed you young Shinigami, I knew I couldn't complete the plan without first finding you, and as luck would have it you just happened to save me, maybe you'd recognize me in my disguise" Green smoke wrapped around the man, transforming him into the women i saved downtown just the night before we entered the city of death "Wait that was you?"I asked "Yes" The hooded man transforming back and continuing "I was going to feast on that lion and shedims souls, but then you came in and saved me, I followed you to the convention center, where your band of misfits called you Collin. Then I knew I found the one I needed to kill. But I wanted to wait so you could witness me wipe out the rest of your kind. Draining the souls, I gained all of their knowledge, including the conspiracy with the Hell lords. This gave me the perfect opportunity to enact my plan. The crystal allowed me to manipulate the souls of gods, so I snuck into the city prior to your arrival and stuck the idea into the minds of the council to upgrade the chambers,I then took control of the construction workers and turned the chamber... into a battery. The Hell lords did halt my plans, but when I found out about the Necronomicon being in the city, I knew I had to reclaim the secrets of necromancy. So amongst the chaos, I snuck in and took control of the general here and a handful of the monsters, so that I knew where the Hell lords would hide it, I made sure to take some of your friends as compensation as well as to experiment with my new found powers. Through these tests, I found that I can control all ready undead souls, not just the living. So I decided to expand on my benefactors plan, he simply said to destroy the afterlives, But now I will use this power and the satellite dishes that ive had built across the city to control the residents to conquer the surface and the spell to destroy the afterlives. Kill two birds with one stone. All I needed was a power boost, so I tested my new abilities on the Hell lords with great success. With the power of the lords fueling me and your gods acting as my power source, the spell can we cast. You might be wondering, why tell you all this? Well, I just needed some time for the panels to power up. " All of a sudden, the satellite dish began to glow the same purple glow I've seen too many times this trip. From the top came a large green beam that shot into the sky, flooding it with the same green from my dreams. Rocks began to form around the box at the base of the satellite as the hooded man revealed his face

"Now, the afterlives will pay for the genocide of my people, they will remember Vecna" With that a blast of green energy came bolting from the satellite that spread in every direction, including towards my and my friends. I closed my eyes. Bracing for impact........
