The Living and The Undead[DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 16-Dreams

Chernoa's pov

"Soo where's Xander and Rie?" I asked when we were out of the cave. "Where's who now?" Wayne blinked. "They're other people who helped us rescue you. You'll meet them later...Chyann?? So where are they?" I turned back to Chyann who wore a face of horror. "Rie went to find the master. Xander was holding off zombies. But they're not out... does that mean...?" 

Chyann looked at me. I tried to shake off the queasy feeling in my stomach. "T-they can't be dead, amiright?" I laughed unsurely. 

"GUYS WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Just when I finished speaking, Xander and Rie came tumbling out of the exit. "GUYS! YOU'RE ALIVE!" I shouted happily. "Yes it would be great to reunite but the master is probably hot on our trail so move your butts!" Rie deadpanned.

(Time skip brought to you by lazy author)

The team was back at Xander's base, everyone trying to take a well deserved break, while I was explaining to Wayne what happened while he was captured.

Nobody's pov

"Do it, Brother. Do it for me." That same scratchy voice was demanding and cold. "I can't. I-I have a son! And this-this could put the whole world in danger. Humanity will lose this war." He could recognise the voice as his father's. 

"Are you going to go against your elder brother, Ian? I don't think so." The master walked out of the shadows, he was still young. His body completely intact. "Xavier please. Don't do this. This is not you." Ian pleaded. "I'm sorry, brother. But this is who I am." Xavier reached out and grabbed Ian's neck, lifting him up. 

"You are going to create it. Whether you like it or not." 

"Father will be so disappointed in what you have become."

"I don't care about what father feels. He's dead."

"Xavier, you could cause the whole entire mankind to go extinct. Please reconsider."

"I SAID NO! YOU ARE TO COMPLETE THIS WITHIN 10 YEARS! IF YOU CAN'T, YOUR SON DIES!" 

"He's your family! I'm your family! What's gotten into you?!"

"Do it." Xavier threw Ian across the floor and walked back into the shadows.

"I'll be waiting, brother."

"Xander! Get up, man!" Chernoa was shaking the boy who was thrashing wildly in his sleep. "Rie! Uncle Xavier-H-he's the master! He killed dad!" Xander babbled away, making everyone but Rie confused. "Uncle Xavier?? You're going crazy, Xan. Uncle Xavier's dead. Long before we were born." Rie raised an eyebrow, looking at her Cousin as if he was crazy.

"No! It's true! In the dream! Uncle Xavier was forcing dad to create something! I think it's the zombie thing!!! Rie!!! Believe me!!!" Xander was trying to explain with much exasperation. Rie raised an eyebrow again. "Xan, you cant base real life issues on your dream. Be more realistic, cuz. Get some rest."

"No! I'm legit! You guys believe me don't you?!" Xander turned to the other three who WEREN'T related to him. 

"Err yea sure mmhm we believe you." The trio were shrugging, unsure of what to respond with. "You guys obviously don't! I'm not lying! I swear! Look we have to go back to dad's base to check it out! He may have the cure there!" Xander shook Rie hurriedly.

"Wait!!!! Everybody shut up! Where is Lionel?? He should be back right? Is he in the toilet or something?" Wayne piped in, suddenly remembering about his friend.  Chyann eyed Chernoa, silently saying, 'Did you not tell him?' Chernoa gulped and shook her head. Chyann squinted her eyes, 'Idiot you tell him.' 

After a few rounds of wordless arguments, Chernoa turned to Wayne and with a deep and heavy sigh, she said, "Wayne...Lionel....He's....dead...." Wayne laughed, "I'm not falling for that." He looked at Chyann. "Come on guys Now's not the time to play games." 

"Wayne...he died trying to kill the master. It's not a game." Chernoa said softly. Wayne looked to Chyann, willing her to tell him that it was a joke. But she had averted her gaze. "So it's really true? Lionel died. Why? How?" 

After a lengthy explanation, Wayne nodded sternly, "I'm not letting this master guy live. I'm going to fucking kill him." 

Rie face palmed. "Fine. I'll take your words seriously, Xan. We'll head to Uncle Ian's lab first thing in the morning tomorrow. If we find nothing, I'm going to skin you alive." "Thanks cuz! I promise you won't be killing me!"
