Halloween Special Event: Don't Die part V

Man with no Face is walking with two hooded men. Man with no Face stops walking. he turns around to see Rotto Mentalita.

Rotto Mentalita seems to be emotionless. some tears fall from his eyes, jet he doesn't show signs of pain nor sorrow. Rotto kneels to take a flower from the floor. he looks at the flower on the light of the moon. Rotto looks at Man with no Face.

with the 'curse' of the oracle Man with no Face was able to read or to see future and in rare occasions the past of others. the only man he has never been able to understand nor see is Rotto, is for that same reason that Rotto is one of the hardest mortals to read and also a really scary man.

Rotto calls to one of the hooded men who was with Man with no Face. the hooded man walks towards him. Rotto whispers on his ear. the hooded man leaves with the other hooded man. Rotto is left alone with Man with no Face.

"is there anything that you need or better say, is there any way in which I can be of help to a good ally like yourself."

said Man with no Face forcing himself to be nice.

"no, I was a bit surprise when I saw the announcement. the men that you put from your guild on mine, they are been killed one by one.... the killer seems to be a friend of yours, I was only concern with the safety of my own people."

said Rotto with a soft voice.

[announcement: member of the Re-Incarnate Skull Breaker Fallen Hero Guild; Pawn-234 was murder by a Hero.]

Rotto agreed on taking part on the plan for the event because he was told that they could take down two or three Hero Guilds. he is not a fan of killing, but he accepted because he thought this method was better to keep the killings to a minimum.

things don't seem to be completely as they agreed. Rotto can see that there are going to be a lot of deaths from both sides. it is too late now to step back and it is too soon to change the plan. the only thing he can do is to wish for the safety of his people.

Man with no Face was thinking about killing Rotto and taking his guild. is because he can't use the 'oracle' on that man that he isn't sure if it is right to kill him or not. if he commits a mistake by killing him, then his partnership with the Ferryman can be affected. his only choice is to wait for the moment in which the 'oracle' will work.

Rotto looks at the moon as he thinks with melancholy about his days on the real world. Rotto tries to use a communication device, but it doesn't work. he smiles thinking in this wild & scary night. he asks himself if he has commit any mistake by trusting in the equivalent to the devil on a mortal shape.

"most humans mistakenly believe that the Devil is terrifying because A; he is a monstrous creature with the body parts of different animals. B; they believe his power comes from the fictitious belief that it is an over-powerful beast.... now based on literature I can pledge for my own soul that the Devil is terrifying because it can take the form of the most common human & because it can convince the most saint man of committing the most heinous atrocities.... in resume what makes the Devil so terrifying isn't the name or the unknown, what makes it so terrifying is that he can be one of us."

said Rotto with fear looking directly at the eyes of Man with no Face.

Rotto doesn't move for a moment. Man with no Face understood that those words weren't referring to some creature or being from an ancient book. those words are about him. Rotto called him the Devil of the humans and he wasn't so wrong.

"yes, I am evil. I don't represent everything rotten nor twisted about this world, but I am an unique kind of evil that ends lives like poison."

said Man with no Face with a menacing smile.

Rotto whispers something on the ears of that man. then he turns around and he starts walking with no exact direction nor location. Rotto is a leader, there can't be a leader if he moves solo. of course it is clear that the leader is in search of his team.

Man with no Face is there standing alone in the middle of the street, he is there in the darkness of the night with the sadness of the sky. the tears of a sorrowful sky are starting to fall one by one. he is wash by the tears of a dark and sad sky.

five minutes earlier on the Zeus Tower.

on the top floor of the Zeus Tower is a meeting of all the Gods/Deities of the Greek Mythology. some are making bets on the players who are expose on the event. others are having conversations. then are others that are eating.

the Ferryman is standing in there watching closely at the event. Ares is eating a turkey leg. he talks about his days of glory & blood. Hades and Zeus are fighting over who is going to win in the end. Zeus has his money on the Heroes. Hades has his money on the Fallen Heroes.

Pandora enters inside of the party with a visitor pass. she sits next to the Ferryman. she starts talking to him about Richie & then about Federico. she explains in detail about important dates in which they were part of her life. they were important to her.

the Ferryman didn't understood her point with all of this until she started to ask questions about them. the Ferryman felt nervous to think about the possibility of her knowing about the kind of relationship that he kept with those two.

"what do you mean? I don't know every NPC nor every mortal that comes to this world. it will be impossible to know every little sad creature on our own domain. as a Godly being I represent our kind, as the face and at times the brain that has to lead this little sacrificial business I don't have time to know more of what I need to know."

said the Ferryman with a fake smile.

"I am glad that you care for the 'ritual' so much, but somehow I feel like you care a tiny bit too much. I feel like you care more of what you should."

said Pandora without hiding her hostility towards him.

Ares yields as he keeps talking about his war stories. he stops talking when he looks at his apprentice. Ares makes a comment about Beau having his 'Gift.' everyone is in silence. Ares is known as someone who doesn't like the idea of giving his 'Gift' easily, besides his 'Gift' isn't something that anyone can take so easily.

Ferryman has a special kind of interest on Beau right now, but the Ferryman wasn't the only one directing his interest towards a mortal. Pandora was equally curious about him for different reasons. Zeus & Hades are also really, really interested in knowing who is Beau in reality.

Zeus & Hades are playing chess. Zeus has won four times already, Hades has won six times already. both of them are competitive with each other.

the night seems to be almost an eternal dark & obscure night. the mortals running, fighting for survival, and killing each other. and on the other side the Deities are in the comfort of Zeus' luxurious hotel.

"I know that you are an important piece on the system of the game. for that same reason I won't mind if you remember anything about any of them later. I understand if you weren't able to remember because you are always working so hard for the rest of the Deities.... I just want to remind you that if anyone had anything to do with Federico's actions I won't forgive that easily. I don't care if I have to kill a God for love and pride."

said Pandora directing every word to Ferryman.

"I am as innocent as a child who has just open its eyes towards a new world. I have done wrong before, but I would never dare to hurt your lover nor your loyal dog. those two died loyal to you till the end."

said Ferryman with a melancholic smile.

Pandora stands up and leaves. the Ferryman is left alone with concern for his future. what is the safer route? to do something to her or to wait for her to give up? Ferryman is having a new problem.

the Ferryman thanks Zeus for the party and for the event. the Ferryman tries to start a conversation with Ares to know more about Beau.

Zeus prepared a banquet for the other Deities hoping to get some smiles. since the new world change the order of things and the place of the old Gods, he has felt a lack of recognition and acknowledgement. Zeus wants to feel important again.

no Deity has a reason to complain with the little party that Zeus organized for them, but there wasn't either a reason to congratulate him for something as small as a party. the event seemed to be decent, but most Deities wanted to return to their homes after some time.

Ares stayed because he cared for Beau's safety and he wanted to see how well does his mortal apprentice. Ares is the kind of person who thinks about himself first and then about others. Beau is the first mortal in an eternity that becomes important for him.

thirty minutes ago.

Beau is running with Leah holding his hand. Dog-Boy and Cat-Girl are running behind of them as they are trying to escape from some zombies. they look at a car on the middle of the road. they all entered inside of the car.

Dog-Boy is blaming them for letting the bar been taken by the undead and for destroying part of it on their escape. Cat-Girl is freaking out because one of the zombies bit her. Beau is about to kill the two most annoying members of his team.

Beau yields at them. he tells Cat-Girl that she is fine and that she isn't going to turn into a zombie. he tells Dog-Boy to fuck himself if he isn't going to be helpful. Leah feels proud of her boyfriend. she kisses him.

Leah finds the keys of the car and she gives the keys to Beau who drives the car. Beau whispers romantic little things on the ear of Leah. she feels shy and she reacts by laughing with her head full of love.

Dog-Boy was on the back looking at his lover. he wanted to do some naughty things with her. he felt horny by thinking on doing those things while the car is moving. Cat-Girl knows him so well and she says 'no' with her facial expression.

Cat-Girl does have feelings for Dog-Boy, but sometimes she forgets about those feelings when he behaves like an actual dog with no concern for anything else that isn't physical pleasure and the carnal desires. he is basically a sex doll with donuts for brain.

"honey do you have a plan in particular? or are you just driving with the hopes of finding them on the road."

said Leah with a sweet tone of voice.

"to be honest. I don't think we are going to be able of finding the others on this big city nor on the darkness of the night. I think we have a better chance of finding them tomorrow on the day light. the only plan now is finding another place to stay. a place that can be as safe as the bar was."

said Beau in a serious tone of voice.

while Beau was driving he heard a strange sound. he ask them to be careful. before he can say another word something crashes against their car and the car overturns. Beau gets out of the car. Quick Kill-Man was waiting for them with some hooded guys.

there is a piece of glass stuck on Beau's forehead two cm over his left eyebrow. Beau takes the piece of glass off his face. he starts to bleed a lot, the blood is blocking his view. Beau looks at his hands covered on glass & his own blood.

Leah gets out of the car and she stands behind Beau. Cat-Girl and Dog-Boy are also leaving the car. the four of them are in a hard position on the open with zombies and Fallen Heroes on the area.

"any last words before we become the last meal of some starving zombie or the last joke of a piece of shit psycho?"

asks Dog-Boy in a sarcastic tone of voice.

Beau takes some energy drinks out of his inventory. he gives some to them and he takes some for himself. their options are limited to two. give up and die or fight till you die. there is no third option nor will be.

"I won't kill you if you give up and come to me, maybe. probably... fuck it I am killing you all so tell me which you prefer, to have a brutal death because you refused to listen to me or to die a painless death by following my damn instructions. if you know what is best to you then get the fuck out and let me end your meaningless life."

yields Quick Kill-Man trying to provoke them.

Quick Kill-Man was enjoying of this event. he helped on the annihilation of the Hardcore-Rock-Bitches Hero Guild. his intentions are to kill as many people as possible in the time limit of the event.

he isn't going to be satisfied even after killing more people. Mad-M might be the serial killer of the team and Man with no Face might be the devil even among them, but it is Quick Kill-Man who is the most thirsty for blood.

is true that some of the members on the Fallen Hero guilds are normal, that is specially the case in the Re-Incarnate Skull Breakers Fallen Hero Guild. even when there are normal mortals, they are also few that are as twisted as Quick Kill-Man. but no one has a hunger for blood like Quick Kill-Man.
