Ep 22: Conspiracy

Jacob enters the training room with everyone else inside.

Jacob: "Hey Everyone! Let's get a quick breakdown shall we?"

Cassandra gives one last punch to Irina and then looks at Jacob.

Cassandra: "What do you mean breakdown?"

Yuji looks back up from the floor.

Yuji: "Did something happen?"

Jacob: "Something like that..."

Everyone is back at the cafeteria while Jacob has a torn piece of red leather.

Ashlyn looks around and notices Tatsuki and Holly are nowhere to be seen.

Ashlyn: "Where's Tatuski and Holly?"

Cassandra: "Yeah, I haven't seen them for a damn good while now..."

Jizzabelle: "Do you think they might still be in their rooms?"

Yuji: "That wouldn't make any sense because Jacob would've called them down with his...weird eye magic thing..."

Mallory: "Wierd eye magic thing?"

Yuji: "You know when he makes all our eyes blue and then POOF we're-"

Jacob: "AHEM!"

Yuji: "Sorry..."

Jacob: "I was just going to get to that..."

*FLASHBACK*

Holly is searching through this mechanical machine and all different kinds of junk until finding a torn piece of paper.

Holly: "Finally, I've found it...the final piece...and now, our renewal can begin-"

A shadowy hand grabs Holly's right wrist and holds her arm up.

Holly gets a chill down her spine as she slowly turns around to see Jacob looming over her.

Jacob: "Holly, how the fuck did you get in here?"

Holly: "Jacob, hey! you see, I was just looking for the bathroom and next thing I know-"

Jacob: "Don't bullshit me, you were trying to steal my page...why?"

Holly turns around again to look at the torn piece of paper.

Holly: (THE BOOK WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN TO HIM?!)

Holly: "Hahaha...see...funny story..."

Holly reveals a knife with a red-colored edge and tries to STABS Jacob in the leg but the knife stops right before it enters Jacob's leg.

Jacob: "Nice try, but I already put a barrier around thinking that you would do something."

Holly: "Shit-"

Jacob makes Holly float then spreads her arms and legs wide while being held up in the air.

Holly: "Oh come on Jacob, surely you wouldn't do so much as kill me right? we're-"

Jacob: "I've killed plenty of people I've known for a while to get where I am today, sure I regret it, but it's not like I had a choice."

Holly: "You bastard!"

Jacob points at the page in Holly's hand then drags it into his right hand.

Jacob: "Why were you looking for this so bad? What do you want with it?"

Holly: "Like I'd tell you-AAAA"

Jacob slowly spreads his left hand causing Holly's limbs to spread even farther.

If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

Jacob: "I won't ask again. Why do you want this page? Do you maybe have the book that's missing this page?"

Holly: "You're really gonna kill me? how much left of your life force do you even have left, huh?"

Jacob: "How do you-nevermind that, why do you want this page? before I rip your limbs off and leave like a potato."

Holly: "That's what you think...here's a tip always make sure your opponent's completely out of use."

Jacob: "Huh?"

Holly moves her right wrist causing it to gush out blood until the floor under her is traced with blood.

Jacob: "The fuck?"

Holly's eyes roll back into her head as she chants strange words.

Holly: ".erom ecno uoy deef nac I os part siht morf kcab em gnirb dna selkcahs eseht morf em esaeler uoy taht ksa I ,ymrahC taerg hO"

Jacob: "What kinda gibberish are you spitting now?"

A bloody hand with claws comes out the floor and GRABS Holly's body from under.

Jacob: "The hell?!"

Jacob attempts to send a SHOCKWAVE at Holly but the bloody hand rolls out eyes around the outside of its fingers and glows red then Jacob is frozen in place.

Jacob: "I can't move?!"

The page begins to glow red as it floats around Holly's head.

Holly: "Goodbye Jacob, and next time? don't always trust strangers. oh, and thanks for completing our plans."

Holly sinks into the bloody floor while the bloody hand sinks into the floor with it still holding onto her.

Jacob SHATTERS as red glass appears around him.

Jacob: "FUUUUCCCCKKK!!!"

Right as Jacob jumps to catch the page around Holly's head, she sinks into the floor with the page gone with her.

Jacob: "That...was the last...page left to..."

Jacob falls to all fours and looks at the floor then PUNCHES the floor leaving a small crater around his right fist.

Jacob: "I'm gonna fucking kill her. Even if I have to rip this world apart."

*BACK TO REAL-TIME*

Jacob: "And that's what happened."

Cassandra: "That LITTLE BITCH!"

Irina: "I SHALL HANG HER HEAD ALONG THE WALL OF THE CAFETERIA FOR EVERYONE TO WATCH!!!"

Cassandra: "Yeah, what she said!"

Jacob: "Relax, We'll find her...eventually...the question is where to start."

N is sitting on a nearby table with his legs on the table not saying anything.

Ashlyn: "Did you get any hints or clues or anything?"

Jacob places the red leather on the cafeteria table.

Jacob: "I grabbed this from her before the dropped into the weird blood portal."

Cassandra: "Could I see that?"

Jacob gives the red leather to Cassandra.

Cassandra: "This texture...where have I felt this before?"

Cassandra gets a flashback of holding the red hooded guy's collar.

Cassandra: "That's it!"

Jacob: "What?"

Cassandra: "Remember that weird guy who called himself the maroon suns?"

Jacob: "The guy who blew up your titties?"

N: "What the fuck did I miss?"

Cassandra: "Quiet edgy spike!!"

N: "Whatever."

N puts his hood up then lays back.

Cassandra: "Anyway, this texture is like what the guy was wearing...so what if-"

Jacob: "Holly's part of the maroon suns?"

Cassandra: "...yeah."

Jizzabelle: "Assuming that Holly would be a part of the maroon suns, where would we even start?"

Jacob: "Well, we saw that guy trying to capture someone so, what if they're all trying to kidnap people for something."

Yuji: "If that's the case then...what if they took Tatsuki as well?"

Jacob: "If that's the case, then we'll be sure to bring it back no matter the cost."

Ashlyn: "Even if it costs us our lives?"

Jacob: "If that's what it'll cost, then I'm afraid so."

Yuji: "But...wouldn't these guys be human too? And didn't you say that we're bringing back all of humanity once all of this is done? wouldn't that make us just as bad as the omen?

Jacob puts his hand on Yuji's shoulder.

Jacob: "There won't be any killing, I can guarantee that...hopefully."

Yuji: "What was that last part?"

Jacob: "Okay so, let's have a little search party, yeah?"

Multiple red hooded figures with yellow lines down the middle of their robes are standing in lines, opposite to each other.

Hood: "Are you ready, Leader?"

A red hooded figure enters the stone room with multiple pedestals and a table with someone having all their limbs tied along each corner of the table, causing the person to spread their limbs wide.

The red hooded figure reveals themselves, with their red line down their robe and sun with an eye in the middle scribbled onto the top of their hood.

The red-hooded leader takes off their hood revealing to be Holly.

Holly: "Let's get started shall we?"

Holly grabs the bag head on the person's head and removes it revealing it to be Tatsuki.

Tatsuki has tears in his eyes as he attempts to scream but can't as his face is taped shut.

Holly whispers in Tatsuki's ear.

Holly: "If only you didn't find out, this could have been so different but, oh well, life comes with many surprises, right?"

Holly moves her arm to reach from behind her.

Holly: "Knife."

A red hooded figure gives Holly the knife with a red-colored edge from earlier.

Tatsuki tries to transform but can't.

Holly: "Nice try, but I coated your body with that goopy omen's skin from a while back."

Tatsuki tries to squirm as Holly lifts her knife above Tatsuki's stomach.

Holly: "Brothers, sisters, rejoice, as the coming of a new god has come upon us."

Holly's knife starts to glow red then Holly STABS Tatsuki in the stomach.

Tatsuki lets out one last scream then drops dead, leaving one last tear running down his face.

Holly: "Rejoice."

Holly back up as a shadow emerges from Tatsuki and blood is splattered all over the table and around the altar.

Holly: "The age has come. to rain for a new god."

Tatsuki wakes up in a dark cave.

Tatsuki: "Where am I?"

Tatsuki walks around the dark cave as he gets more and more shivers down his back.

Tatsuki: "Where am I? Where is everybody?"

Tatsuki sits along the wall and starts to tear up.

Suddenly a blonde woman appears and taps his foot.

Tatsuki: "Huh?"

Tatsuki looks up to see the blonde woman wearing a school.

Tatsuki stands up and holds the blonde woman's right hand.

Tatsuki: "Haha..all of a sudden, I'm not scared anymore."

Ep 22-End.
