Chapter 12 - The Greater Will

1 WEEK LATER

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why must it be like this?I couldn't help but go all out,it was for them...*flashback*

AGARATH-There is only Death and Darkness for you...Destined one

NO! There must be more to my life than just this!

AGARATH-Foolish boy,the longer you delay in bringing that storm within you to them...The greater the death's...

There must be some way I can fight against this! I don't want to be this,I just wanted to live my life...

AGARATH-YOU HAVE NO LIFE! ONLY DEATH AND DARKNESS,EMBRACE IT!

Height-6'6

Zodd-RRAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

I shoot up off the bed,my body roaring in pain as I sit up.

It couldn't mean that right???

But look where you are once again Zodd,back to being a helpless weakling!

Zodd-GET THE FUCK OFF ME!!

I pull off all the cables and bandages on me.As it clatters on the ground,machines smacking the ground loudly.Sitting at the edge of the bed I shiver from the cold of the room and sheer anger that I still can't fight them without getting injured brutally.

I look at my hands and arms,they are bloody and filled with stitches.Long gashes down my forearms my hands also filled with stitches.

Feels like I broke them and then smashes them with a sledge hammer.My neck feels like it's welded together,almost seems like something hurts everyday.

*hissss*

The door to the room slides open behind me.Heavy footsteps enter the room and a boomng voice says.

Jackal-What happened at Al Dug?

Zodd-Like you dont know why we were there.Skip the bullshit.

Jackal-...38 Knights dead,2 Great Beast Knight's dead and 1 man living might I add the he is not even mutated.A Knight clears you of any accusations of betrayal by the way they found you it seems something evil was down there.

Zodd-Yeah I don't know anything about all those other Knights but Aziel died fighting some huge monster one that talked and It was nothing like the other "grunts".This one was more...human.

Jackal-A Monster Lord...truly an awful thing but why did you live and not the others?

Zodd-Im not so easy to kill you know,I wont just roll over and die when im hurt.

Jackal-No one here "dies easy".Your going to have to come with me.If the truth is not so easy to reveal it will be forced out of you.

I turn around staring at the giant man in a tight grey shirt and black cargo pants.His body not as scarred as some of the other Knights I've seen.

Zodd-You wont do shit to me...

Jackal-I won't but he will.

THE ORACLE OF MAN,JOSEPH

*CREEEEEAAKKKK**BOOM*

As 2 Knight's clad in golden armor push the giant metal doors open.Elaborate and complex carving and etching on them show a giant man with a flaming sword holding the head of a giant dragon over his head.

Wonder what's that about...

As the door fully open slamming against a wall on the other side.A warm,musty breeze hits my face.So different to the rest of the facility where it either blazing hot or freezing cold.

As we walk into the giant room it's almost like a cathedral or a church.Rows of seats and at the very back of the room a stage.With a giant slab of stone engraved with odd carvings.Infront of it a regular sized man in a brown cloak prays facing it.

The Knights escorting me leave me to take a seat in the rows of seats.I continue walking towards the Man as chanting fills the room.As I aproach the man walking onto the stage.

The chanting stops as the man rises...and rises and rises.

I step back as "it" towers over me,It's eyes glowing blue mechanical whirring as it raises it's metal hands and removes it's hood.Revealing a mechanical face,strong features and eyes that burn holes in you.

Zodd-W-What are you?*slowly walking back*

Oracle Joseph-Fear not Zodd,I fore saw your coming.I am a magican,wizard,witch,trickster,liar...call me what you want but I am simply a messenger of a Greater Will.

Zodd-*confused*Greater Will?As in God?

Oracle Joseph-Pheraphs,pheraphs not...I am only a messenger I do not know what the Greater will truly wants.Human civilization has called it many names over the enduring years,now they call it "God".Here we call it the Greater Will.And his champion becomes King of all there is.But all this is for another time,now you are brought to me as It said."Burning with Rage towards those who wronged "it"...

Zodd-What's that even mean?

Oracle Joseph-Only time can tell for now you must stay nea--

His body begins to twitch,whirring and gass sounds going crazy as his body bends ridiculously even warping his metallic body.

ORACLE JOSEPH-T-t-t-t-tTHERE IS ONLY ONE WHO STANDS AGAINST THEM*Joseph begins to float*AND IT CAN NOT BE---*his voice very deep almost...demonic*

*CLATTER*

What the fuck just happened?

Did the metal man just float up,like it was possessed?

I stare at the giant man his body steaming with smoke.Knight's rush onto the stage to aid of the metal man.I slowly walk back and take a seat on a row of seats.

Was that some type of possession or something?It cant be who?

Zodd-Fuck all this thinking bullshit im out of here...

Fucking place gives me the creeps anyways.

I get up to leave the cathedral,but blocking the door are Knights who come flooding in.Hundreds of rumbling footsteps,as what seems like every Knight enters the room.

Well shit...guess I can stay.

I take a seat in the corner back of the room nect to some Knight with half his body full of burn scars.His hands in a prayer as he mutters something under his breath.

I turn my attention to the stae where the metal man rises over even the knights.He lifts his hands as if accepting something from above.

Oracle Joseph-It has spoken,The Greater Will still speaks to us.Still Guides us!...It's words are confusing,less prophecy it was as if it spoke directly to Zodd.Please come to me Zodd let us know what it said.

Zodd-*muttering**sigh*fucking shit...

I get up walking to the stage as the metal man's eyes burn holes into me.I could feel the piercing stares of all the Knights in this room.

I get onto the stage walking towards the metal man.

Oracle Joseph-tell me what it said.

Zodd-"There is only one who stands against them and it can not be-",thats what he said. it cut off or something.

Oracle Joseph-You heard the man and his words from above.After 2,000 years it speaks to us again,long we thought it had gone to slumber but now that is awake we must begin the conquest.Mankind will no longer be threatened by Evil,The legions have been called and it shall be so...FOR THE KING!!

All Knight's-FOR THE KING!!

What the hell is going on here?
