The Darkness Inside
Chapter 2 – All odds against me
They came towards me quickly, before i even had a chance to turn around. One of them hit me in the back with a wooden club and i fell down flat on my face. The air rushed out of me. We allways had to ware heavy armor, really have armor, it must have weighed 50 kilos at least, and mine was probably even heavier than the rest. I had a special armor, it was red as blood and it shone bright like diamond. It was made of titanium with a layer of energy around it. A lone hunter named Zybrin one delivered it to me, he said it was from my father and that it would bring me luck throughout the war. I’m not really supersticious, but the armour didn’t even get scratched if you accidently shot it with a rocket launcher, ofcourse the one in it would have been covered in flames, but the armor allways shown with it’s florescent red glow. So i guess i was lucky, to have the armor. I wondered where Zybrin was now, i had seen him in a dream once, he smiled at me and then his head fell off. I think thats one of the worst nightmares iv’e ever had, when i woke up i had accidently chopped Zhans arm off. My bed was covered in blood and he was lying on the floor unconsious. He now has a metal arm, wich can be pretty useful sometimes … but i still have nightmares over that event and Zhan now sleeps on a bunk bed above me instead of in a sleeping bag on the floor. You could say it wa thanks to my nightmare that we got a better bed. The previous one was probably from the 3rd world war, it was antique.
The thoughts flowed through my head as i was hit another time, in the head. The hit shattered my thoughts and brought me back to reality, a sudden adrenaline rush hit me at the same time and i pushed away from the ground as hard as i could, the dust clouded up around me and my shining armor gave a couple of ugly beasts furious uppercuts that sent them flying through the air. I swung my fists to the right and to the left and all around me franticly. I didn’t hit anything and suddenly i saw a wooden arrow fly out from my stomach infront of me. The blood gushed and i sank down to my knees staring at the wound. My invincible armor that not even rockets could touch had been pierced by an arrow. The red glow around it had also abruptly siezed and it was now dull and dark, the red bood replacing it’s natural color.
I looked straight ahead and saw my chaingun lying on the ground about 20 feet away from me. Should i just die? I asked myself slowly, my mind not reacting to the possibility i had just seen. I wasn’t thinking clearly, a puddle of blood began to form around me. Think, i reminded myself . The puddle kept growing. Suddenly i saw my fathers face, laughing at me in my mind, i remembered what he looked like. It was Zybrin. He was telling me a story about a legendary red armor that could bestow unbelievable power when wielded. It was heavy as a bluewale and gave such force that you could easily cut a skyscraper in half with a butterknife. I saw Zybrins face kindly smiling at me, no, laughing at me, for the stupid idiot i was, giving me a red armour bought at Nikes Artifact Section. I looked down at my armor and saw the NAS logo clearly marked in white bright text. Was my chaingun a plastic toy bought at Plastic Toy Central ? The rage struck me and i reached out for my chaingun. I was fast, the heavy armor was suddenly light as a feather and i jumped high. Another arrow dug it’s way through me and a wall of arrows surrounded me in the air, but i kept on running. I grabbed the chaingun and felt the heaviness of it and the cold steel. It was real. I quickly turned around and sprayed led like a tennisball machine on the highest level. They dropped dead.
I just stood there, confused, proud, victories, thinking over what the hell this was when i suddenly woke up. Zhan was lying on the bunk bed ontop of me sleeping sweetly. I sat up and wiped the sweat from my face. Looked out the window, we were passing the Arfa galaxy, the ugly beast headquarters as we called it. Small fiery dots glittered on planet surfaces, probably atomic bombs disintegrating beasts like burning paper. I felt kind of sorry for them.
