#1 The Aftermath Of The Apocalypse

Chapter 8: Clockwork

"Were getting close."

"Clockwork is gonna get a beating from me," John said. "You'll give him his beating when we get there." I said.

Max all of a sudden couldn't breathe and so he started to fall from the air rapidly while not breathing.

"John, come on, hurry."

"MAAX!" John yelled.

John and I bolt towards Max while he's falling for his death.

"Sam use your whip to grab him," John said."Got it."

"Whiplash!" Sam yelled.

The whip grabs Max by the waist and so we all land safely so he doesn't get killed. As we land, John's face gets more furious than before.

"Why is he targeting my friends? He should be targeting me." John said. "Listen to me John everything is going to be okay, alright." I told him.

"Are you okay Max?" Sam asked. "Yeah, I'm alright but how was I getting strangled in the air out of no where?"

"It's one of his abilities, he can make someone to go in shock or just gasp for air by just thinking of them." John explained.

"Come on, we better hurry or who knows what's happening to Sean and Luke." I said.

As we started flying towards Clockwork's lair, John started talking to himself. I was worried on what he was saying but I didn't want to bother him so I let him be.

All of a sudden John starts telling us to make clones of ourselves. We were confused but we still did it anyway.

"Listen to me very carefully, we are going to send the clones and we'll see what happens to them so we can avoid it." John explains. "Wait, how are we going to see what the clone sees?" Sam asked.

"Easy, use the possession spell." Max suggested.

"Ok, but how the fuck do we know when to send the clones?" I asked. "On my mark." John said.

1 hour passed and we finally made it. We send the clones with the possession spell activated.

"I know this is serious and all but... Clockwork's lair looks more fancier than ZOZO's lair." I said. "Well yeah, he's an old demon from the 1700's or something," Max said.

"Guys stick to the plan, we're looking for Sean and Luke so don't fuck this up." John said.

"It doesn't matter, were using the clones while we are still at the door." Sam said.

"True, but we gotta know where there at."

"Uuhh, guys, why are we inside with the clones." Max said.

"What are you talking about." John said. "Look behind your clone self." Max said terrifyingly confused.

As the clones turned around we saw ourselves crouching on the ground.

"Fuck we got caug-..." John is interrupted.

"You kids looking for someone." Clockwork said. "There alive, but not for long so come and get them "heroes," He says while laughing maniacally.

"Sean and Luke are my friends and I will not let you kill them. I'M HERE TAKE ME INSTEAD OF THEM!!!!!!" "Naahh, just come fight me to get them back."

"John, chill out, we'll get them back just chill out." Max tells him.

"Sam and Chris, both of you go find Sean and Luke, John and I will stay here." "Got it, let's go Sam."

"Guys, are you okay." Kathy said behind Max and John. "Aaah." They both scream. "Kathy, you're okay, thank god you're back to normal." "Wait, wheres Sam and Chris?" "They went to look for your brother and Luke."

"Wait, what happened to my brother?" "He was captured by Clockwork and so was Luke." John said.

Now back to Sam and I...

"Sam, do you see anything?" "Nope, I don't see them, let's go back to Max and John." "Alright, let's go."

As we were making it back, Sam was speared in the shoulder by a long sharp pole. The pole then got out of her and she was bleeding too much blood. I carried her on my back and sprinted back.

"Sam, can you hear me....?"
