RIGHT AFTER THE INSANE FIGHT I feel devious Joe's serrated blade rip through my flesh like a knife through butter. Every fiber of my being is begging for this feeling to finally end. I grit my teeth and scream in agony before everything finally goes black. I wake up in a dark void of nothingness. I see two eyes peer at me though the dark, then I see more eyes. More and more eyes staring at me viewing my failure. I see a burst of light pierce through the darkness and shine on a younger, less devious Joe. He's sobbing on the ground in front of his father begging him to wake up. I frown as I walk towards him as he looks at me and screams, the sound pierces my ears as I feel warm liquid escape my ears. I reach up and touch my ear as a crimson liquid coats my fingers. Right when I focus back on younger joe he vanishes in an instant. The eyes continue to stare at me as I feel the uncanniness seeping in my very being. Suddenly I feel devious Joe's voice echoing in my mind "FEEL MY PAIN." I suddenly feel the most intense pain pierce my chest. I look down and see the hilt of my blade "AHHHH!!" I fall to the ground as the blade only digs deeper. As I lay on the ground a bunch of vaguely humanoid "people" approach me. They all look at me in disgust and start kicking me and spitting on me. I feel humiliated. The people finally finish kicking the shit out of me as I pull the blade from my chest. The stinging agony only gets worse. I finally pull myself to my feet as I see someone vaguely familiar walk up to me with a few men trailing behind. Wait a minute... THAT'S DAVE! Suddenly a large serrated blade appears in my hands. I can't control my actions! I only can watch in horror as I mercilessly slaughter the barely trained lackeys. Dave watches in horror as I slash open his stomach, his intestines spilling out as he tries desperately to pull them back into the gash on his side. I can only grit my teeth and watch as he falls over and begs for mercy. I start laughing, why am I laughing? I finally finish dave off by bashing his head into the floor repeatedly, the skin peeling off his face. I pick up all three of them as I roll them into the river. That's when I finally regained control and started crying and sobbing. Hoping that this is all a sick dream... Finally I see Joe's mother. I lose control again as I say "M-Mother.. I killed 3 boys today. But its okay... they attacked me! I was just defending fathers amulet. You still love me right mom? Right?" His mother only looked in horror as she screamed "Stay away from me! FUCKING FREAK! YOU'RE NOT MY SON! THAT FUCKING AMULET CHANGED YOU!!" I feel tears stream down my face as I pull out a dagger and push her down and start to stab her eyes out as I scream "DON'T LOOK AT ME! STOP FUCKING LOOKING AT ME! SHUT THE FUCK UP!! STOP IT!" She only pushes and scratches at my shirt and face as I stab her eyes and her tongue. Finally she stops struggling and I finally gain back control. I look down in horror as I observe Joe's horribly disfigured mom, her eyes stabbed out and the bone around her eyes observable her mouth terribly cut up. I feel a terrible sickness from deep within myself as I fall to the ground crying and sobbing as I shake the joe's mom. I finally feel my mind slip away as I stand up. "I'M FUCKING SICK OF THIS SHIT!! JOE!! FUCKING KILL ME ALREADY!! IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED?" Images flash in my mind thousands of murders, slaughters and killings why would joe do this? Finally I see joe stand in front of me. He isn't smirking, He isn't laughing. I pull out my katana as I am ready to finally end this, once and for all. I charge him but devious joe begs "Wait! Please hear me out!" I stop for some reason and listen. Tears stream down Joe's face as he looks down into my eyes. He says "In all of my miserable existence only you gave me a chance, only you showed me warmth in a world full of bloodshed and hatred." I look at him surprised, my blade shaking. Devious Joe begins to speak again "I think you're the only one worth explaining everything to. I am extremely vulnerable in this state.." I look up at him confused "W-WHY JOE? WHY WOULD YOU DO ANY OF THIS?" Joe looks down at me and smiles a sad smile. He whispers "They all were, they all, they deserved it! Every last one of them!" He smirks as he says "I did what had to be done! I am protecting my pride and dignity! They all mocked and shamed me! I killed them all!" I looked at Joe in horror as I swung at him full force. I see his blood gush from the wound as he smirks. "NOW I KNOW YOUR REALLY A PIECE OF HUMAN TRASH!!" I grit my teeth and utter "1000 heart beats" I start to speed up, my heart beating 1000 times a second, I'm about to hit him until devious joe teleports behind me. I know this so I quickly perform a circle slash as devious joe swings his hellish blade towards me. My blade crashes through him and he winces. I quickly dash out of the way, my heart only beating 900 times a second... I need to end this fight quickly! He's a fucking freak! How is he still standing!? He mutters "dimensional needles" suddenly a thousand red glowing spikes appear in a circle around me. I manage to deflect a few with my blade as devious joe smirks and cackles. I feel one hit my leg but I don't let up. I rush towards him as he teleports all over the place, as I rush from place to place giving him large wounds everytime he fails to teleport in time. I feel my power fading my heart is only beating half as fast as it was originally. Devious Joe screams "REFLECT" suddenly I feel all of Devious Joe's pain as he rushes towards me. I know one swing from his sword would instantly kill me so I grit my teeth harder and muster up a defense. I manage to deflect his huge sword as It crashes into the ethereal floor. I stab him in the chest as he is in a defenseless position. I then start bashing him in the face with my fists as he smirks and spits up blood. My knuckles burn as I keep punching and I scream "DEVIOUS JOE!!!!" Finally devious Joe teleports out of the way. He stands behind me, all his wounds healed. I feel my heartbeat return to normal as I cry. It sinks in that I'm powerless against devious joe.. He cackles "THAT WAS AN AMAZING FIGHT!! HAHAHAHAH. FINE! I'LL SPARE YOUR SHITTY FUCKING LIFE. HAHAHAHA. I WILL AWAKEN IN 100 YEARS AND CONSUME THIS PATHETIC PLANET. ENJOY YOUR SHRINKING HUMAN LIFE." The next thing I know I wake up in my bed next to my wife. I scream "YES!" I walk outside as I see a healthy village, yet nobody recalls devious joe... I hug my wife tighter than ever before. She's understandably confused but I don't care. I'm just happy devious Joe's gone and my wife, friends and family are okay. I greet the day and head off to the dojo with a newfound respect for life. THE END? |
