Titans of the Current: Hands of God Edition

Part 3:1:3

"But Levy!"

"No buts, Nelly! Those are for sitting, just like your gonna sit your butt down until I get back!" She is upset with me... As usual.. I hate to say this.. But I don't know if I can say I love her.. Nelly has always been a presence, but never a priority... It's like she is a different person.

...I need to go now, I close Nelly's door behind me...

... Can a clone have a soul?...

Why does she shears treat me like that? I never get to go out on my own. I know it's too protect me but, honestly, that's a little pointless right? The world already ended so why must she keep my head down all the time?

Not today, I'm going with her!

I pack a bag of things I could fit into it. Let's see.. Grenades, check.. Smg,check... Book of runes.. Check...

I don't know what this is.. It must belong to Vlad... It's his white headdress he wears with his armor.

I'll take it, just in case.

Woooooooooooooooosssssshhhhhhhh.

What the hell is going on?

I race down the hall into the main room. It's dark, and ominous, and the lights are all malfunctioning.

I pull out the flashlight, while nervous tension pulls through me. In the corner I can see...  figures .. people, maybe. They are slumped over and stacked on each other..

I walk to them. Shaking so much I didn't know if I could focus the light long enough to see what was happening. It's a person!

No... It's Jack! I turn over his body.. It's white and lifeless! I can't do this!

I hit him.. Slap him.. Anything to make him move! But he won't.

Tears are rolling down my eyes as I hold him close to me... Etrius! He must have did this! But why!

Wait! One, two, three, four. Five....

Levy! And Bell! They are alive! I have to find them!

But first.. I'm gonna give Etrius what's coming to him!

Huh? Someones coming! They are already at the door.. Oh my he's huge! I can't take him!

I teach inside the nah for a weapon.. I pull out and Uzi. I point out right as him as he steps closer to me..

I can't squeeze the trigger! Oh, what would Jack do? I reach in the bag for anything.

A grenade.... I know what I must do...

I throw it as hard as I can at the figure! It sails through the air before making perfect impact onto his head. It promptly bounces off and falls to the ground.

He's bomb-proof? No wait, the pin! Forgot to pull the pin!

I dive for the explosive as I hold it up right at the man's face. He's bent over to where I am on the floor.

"Don't move fucker! It I'll blow us both to hell!"

"I thought your mother taught to some manners, child." His voice was... Soothing... And familiar..

Jack? The lights flicker on, revealing something I never could have imagined..

This man looks like Jack! He had his eyes! And his nose! And his dark hair! And his voice! Even his head is shaped the same!

I'm still crying, but I can't tell why anymore... I fall to the ground defeated...

He picks me up and carries me out the building.. His arms are warm.. And familiar.

Looking into his eyes gives me something but I don't know what... My eyes fog up with tears as he walks me out..

Looking behind me I notice something... Fire.. Lots of it.. I can't see well.. Everything is blurry.. But that's fire... I'm so tired.... What's going on?

"Mister... We gotta find Levy... She's in danger.. Jack..."

...."don't worry, child. Soon, you can see Jack whenever you want "....
