08- Nightmare

Were finally here. It's been a long 40 years of traveling and locating his base but weve found it, Shadowfrost city. The most advanced city on Earth right now. Population of 1.5 million, and they have steam engines. He's done good for this town so far, but if he hadn't sent Earth back to the stone ages this wouldn't be happening right now.

You know Dakota, its partially our fault for this though. I mean we helped him build the machine that turned him into this.

Yes I know, we aided the monster. Even though he used that machine to amplify his abilities beyond comprehension doesnt mean hes the only one. We were in that room when the machine exploded. We were hit with some of the gamma radiation. We are all superhuman. Just not as much as him.

Do you really think we can beat him? I mean he leveled cities like they were nothing.

I'm sure we can beat him Shinoa. We just have to trust in ourselves and eachother. Now how about we finally end this once and for all.

If only I had known how drastically overpowered he was compared to us, I wouldn't of sent them in there with me. One by one of the people who stood against him with us, they were all killed. We had amassed and army of 50 thousand. Yet our efforts were almost for nothing. We lost in the most awful way possible l...total defeat. Fifty thousand people lost their lives that day, all because of me.

Hey Dakota, were about to enter the top floor, are you ready?

Yes Shinoa, I am. And after we win today, i need to ask you something. Are you ready men? CHARGE!

We had stormed the room if which he had stayed in. Nothing mattered thought, we were obliterated. Before I knew it, Coben and Aj were gone. Shinoa was lying on the floor, she was still breathing, but barely. I was the last one standing. In my battle I thought I actually stood a chance, it seemed as though I was fighting toe to toe with him. It wasn't till about 5 minutes into the fight I realized he was toying with me.

Haha, you know why you lost today...cause your weak. Always have been and always will be. Now before I kill you, I want you to remember that you're the reason all those men died, and your the reason your friends died too.

After that everything was dark. Then I woke up in the Afterlife, and made a deal. Everything was normal, until Shadowfrost showed up and murdered everyone in the village.

That's how it went. I'm sorry to have woken you by the way lizzie.

Dont worry, it's fine. But did all of that really happen, did all of those men die.

Yep and it's all my fault. Fifty thousand lives snuffed out in an instant. All because I was too week to protect them. That is why I train everyday. So I never have to go through that again.

It felt good to get that off my chest. It felt good to tell someone what I was feeling. Although I never expected for lizzie to kiss me after that. After all it was the first time we kissed.
