The Dark Ones

Part 5

CHAPTER 6 - The Outrage

As soon as the identity of the thugs was revealed, the lights went out, the came back, but in a dark shade of purple. Shadows surrounded all of the people outside the boss' office and the main hall of the casino. Insane laughter echoed throughout the empty room and then a familiar voice.

*insane laughter* "Aw, little kids have some big balls showing up here to try and finish us off!.." *more insane laughter* "..What bollocks! You may have gotten the rest of us out, but we are the strongest out of the lot. So how about you tell Luke Light, that if he wants to take us, then hell have to bring all of YOU!" *even more insane laughter*. The sound of bones cracking could then be heard after the speech, then the lights went down.. and back up, the lights went up only to find Shane with a psychotic smile, claws out and the thugs at his feet, all bones broken. He laughed like a maniac, but then turned around to see the confused face of the new janitor.. Connor. He looked Shane directly in the face in heaps of confusion, both for the fact that Shane is a nutcase and the fact that he said 'the rest of us'. What was he supposed to say, or make of the whole ordeal?

Ray noticed the tension and looked towards Shane as if to say 'You may have said too much'. Shane noticed and immediately shifted his mood and rushed straight to his office. Connors face was in complete shock, he turned to Ray in search of answers, but instead, he went to Shane to try and comfort him, seems that Ray really cares about him.

"What the fuck?!" Connor shouted out in confusion as it echoed throughout the empty halls. It caught the attention of the others and they came rushing towards him.

"What?! What's the matter?!" cried out Mitch and Christine. They were obviously worried about him, Mitch definitely showed it more as they showed up in the main hall, Christine realised who it was and got all nervous and flustered, folded her arms and huffed, but obviously she wanted to talk to Connor. They approached him..

CHAPTER 7 - The Origin

"Mind telling me what Shane means by 'the rest of us'?" he looked anxious, angry and confused all at the same time. "Who else was here?" it was clear he wanted answers, but he didn't know if he would get them straight. The two panicked and then backed up from the boy. They knew something.. the boss' door swung open, Ray stepped out.

"If anyone is to tell the greenhorn the origin of The Dark Ones, it is me, I've been around the longest out of all of the recruits and I have the most knowledge and can make the most sense out of this" Ray took a few steps closer to the three of them, but then a voice boomed and frankly scared the shit out of all of them

"No! If anyone tells him, it's the leader of the team and the entire population of The Dark Ones.." Shane emerges from his office, hands trembling, his eyes covered by his hair. He signalled for the team to come into his office and sit down "..Come in, it feels necessary you know who we actually are." So that's what happened, they sat down, Shane poured them all a glass of whiskey each and Shane explained.

"Well, it all started back in the year of 1995 when The Light Ones attacked the Darkness, we weren't exactly friends, but we weren't civil either, we hated each other, but we managed to keep our differences to ourselves and then they attacked. My father lost his shit and in blind rage sent the forces of the Darkness to attack The Light Ones and they were slaughtered without remorse, we had no other choice but to surrender.." he took a sip of his whiskey "..that was until my father, Graham Nohidimi, charged for their leader, Charles Light, and was killed in battle. In a blind rage my powers ignited and I tore Charles' head clean off, but it wasn't that easy, I managed to assemble the team of a fiery female, an intelligent chap, an idiotic tank and many others to assemble a team to hold off the light so I can get to the source of it, we won a well fought battle and we had many battles after that, but many would remember the name.."

"..The Dark Ones"

Connor was astonished,  but wanted to know more "Then what happened?"

Shane smiled and finished off his whiskey "Then.." Connors face widened as he continued, but Shane took a left turn "..oh look at the time, we'll have to talk about this another time, in fact, we need to work on you harnessing your power. Right then team! Let's help this little shit find out how he fits in!"

The lights turned out, and then it went pale white, a man dressed in white, completely white, appeared in the room

Connor was confused on the newcomer "who is that?" he stood there in complete shock once again at the figure at the end of the room

The man replied "Who am I?"

"Yeah, who are you?" Connor fired back

"Me? I'm Luke Light"

Sorry if this one was mostly dialogue but it's what I had to do for the story to fan out the way it should - Sh4ne_N
