Dark chase

chapter 19

deeper and deeper

 

 

     Jack's lips twisted. His eyes rolled. Then he spoke normally ( especially in the sheriff's eyes).' What the hell, you really can't walk down the stairs. Okay, I will shut it down. They are all alert systems, damn systems.' Then, a SEF said.' but if the systems are alerted, soldiers, no, the monsters will tear you into hundred pieces and you will have a battle which only you are fighting all damn monsters.' Jack brightfully said.' This will be my time to show off.' Without any warning, he ran down the stairs by his own, letting the SEF team and the sheriff behind.

     ' I wondered where I can turn off the alert system,' muttered Jack.' No, it should be if I am Dark, where will I put the system.' Then the words " centre of a place" flashed inside his brain. ' I will come across some of the monsters and I cannnot fight them by strength, but I will play some tricks to get through.' he said to himself in his mind.

    He walked to the end of the stairs and he saw three huge and high colums. Surrounded by some black mist. He carefully walked behind one of the columns and took a glimpse outside. He saw three guards were standing right in front of a black and golden door, each holding three blades, as they had three hands. And they had six long legs, like the insects on the Earth, but look more handsome and strong. They got six small eyes but one big nostril. And they seemed not to have a hole, the mouth. They were staring to different position.

    Jack had to figure a way out to go pass that door. Immediately, he got an idea. ' Little babies come here, you may find what you treasure.' he sung softly towards the guards. Then, the guards turned their head towards where he was now standing. One of them started speaking.' Do you hear the song? What is it saying about?' Then another smiled.' It said we will find what we treasure, what a wonderful and peaceful song.' Then the third, the oldest one clapped two of its legs and said triumphly.' It may be some tips for us. The treasure, the treasure, OH! FOOD!'

    They then crawled fast to where Jack's standing. When they got to the column, no food but only black mist. Then they heard the sound again. The oldest one laughed.' It's behind us now, I think it's simply directing us.' So they turned to their back. SPLASH! Someone splashed some liquid on their legs. Then it bubbled. 'WHO?!' they bellowed. Jack walked in front of them and said.' It's me.' Their mouth dropped and continue to bellow.' You traitor! You little freak! You are back not with honour but with the hatred inside our and your heart.'

   ' Sorry, I just want the key for the door,' Jack said. ' If you are not going to give me the door, you will have your creaky head bubbled for all the time.' They looked at each other and nodded. ' Take it from the hilt of this blade.' the oldest one said trembling when it handed the blade to him. So Jack took the key out. It was a diamond with something , mist flowing inside. ' You just put it...' the guards explained when Jack interrupted.' I am famliar with the place. I know how to open that damn door.'
When he put the diamond inside a hole which was etched on the door, the oldest guard said.' Traitor would get their punishment. You, Chronkus, would not win the king who was faithful in our true world. You will not ever defeat our king Rocka.'  Jack turned and smiled.' You will see.'

   The door opened slowly when the diamond was put inside. After the door was being locked again, Jack was inside, shocked by the magnificent view. Millions of stairs and roads. Palaces, houses and buildings were everywhere. A banner was floating in midair, saying ' deeper you go, more reluctant you want to leave.' He looked down and saw some kind of lava moving slowly. And what just beyond the lava, was a palace, Jack only got a little sense of it. There was a place which he always dreamed of, a sweet dream. Being a child, sitting in a man's arms. He felt warm and peaceful in his arms. The man was wearing an armour suit. And some words were etched on his armour. It said " Chronbis " Chronbis? Chronbis? Chronbis? Why he would dream of sitting in his arms? And a woman was putting her head on the man's chest, looking at him. ' Love, I want to give him the name " Chronkus ", is it okay?' the woman said. The man nodded. Suddenly, he heard someone calling Chronbis and the man walked out of the place. When he walked to the entrance, he said to the woman.' I am going to the war again. I simply love it. The hatred to kill our enemies.' The woman sighed and looked at him. The pictures fainted. It came back to the world he belonged. They were like memories. He could not create some stories like this. Or they were memories?

   He was now walking down some fire-red stairs. He had to go to the lowest point—the largest palace he had ever seen. Suddenly, he saw something flying in the sky. Dragons. Shit,  scouting force. I would need a hide place. He looked around and found that the nearest hideplace was a hundred miles away from him. It was impossible for him to run to there without the dragons noticed him. Then, the dragons flew to him. He quickly shot a holy-water bullet to one of them and the dragon being shot shrieked. The others started to surround him, he had no ways to go. Then they landed on the ground and the dragon with a heavy armour walked towards him slowly. He quickly got his stake and seized a chance to kill it. But the dragon was clever and it disarmed him.  He stared into the dragon's eyes and fell in memory again.

   He knew these eyes, they were found in his dreams too. they had acompanied the woman for a long period. It helped th woman to do all sorts of difficult and tiring works. And the woman loved to pat the dragon slightly on its neck. And the dragon would rub its face on the woman cheeks. Then a smile would etch on the woman face, a bitter one. She always said." Yagahi, you are the most brilliant dragon, the best dragon I have ever seen. You let me have the last glance of him before he died. I am sorry to leave you behind but I want to be with my husband. She pulled out a short blade and stabbed it into her chest while the dragon wanted to disarm her. Then he felt something was rubbing him on his head.

  He was back into the real world. The dragon was rubbing him on his head. He looked at the dragon and said doubtfully." Yagahi?" The dragon gave him a nod and suddenly hugged him with its wings. So warm. He climbed on the dragon's back and called him to fly. Warm breeze. This was the first time that he was in the sky with a dragon. After a few minutes, he saw four soldiers are guarding a lever. So he pulled the halter twice and it flew downwards. He shot four holy-water bullets to them and each hit them on the head. Their head started bubbling and they fell down turned to mist. He landed on the ground and pulled the lever and the emergency sensor alerted.

  He climbed on the dragon again and called the dragon to go to the the lowest palace. It was a feel of anger that burned deeply inside him. He didn't know why he wanted to go to the palace and face the occupier himself. And he could feel a link between him and the dragon. The dragon jumped several times and flew high in the dark ' sky '. He saw some arrows soared through the air and flew to their target. They were easily seen in this dim place as they carried some fire on the body. It was a impulse that he yelled to the dragon. "φωτιά!( means 'fire')" Then the dragon blew the fire towards the swam of arrows. Before it reached it, the power of that hot wind had already blast them to different positions. Then he told the dragon to speed up. He had to find the man.

  Just when the dragon started to reach its highest speed, a man also rode on a dragon, larger than his.And he was familiar with that face, he had seen him in the battle, the man who was named 'Dark'.
He immediately had that hatred to kill, so he shouted." να τον σκοτώσει (means " kill him")!" And his dragon blew the fireballs again. But Dark's dragon swiftly gave the fireball a bloke and they flew to other positions. Then Dark lifted a small thing up and muttered something, then he heard metals clanging. His dragon suddenly turned his head to him and gazed deeply into his eyes. They seemed to telling him that." Leave me, they are going to lock me up." Then it started throwing him to left         and right. He tried to grip on its skin but the strength it swang was too strong and he started falling.

...falling and watching the dragon being locked and shot back towards its cave...hearing Dark announced to chop off its head 30 minutes later...and then the complete darkness, it was the last memory of him. 








 

 

 

 

   

Sniper in battlefield

    I am standing very still, holding a sniper rifle. I could feel its weight, it makes me think of a huge rock. I am standing on the grassland with other soldiers, each holding different guns. Several tanks and armoured vehicles. A helicopter was quietly standing on the big 'H'. Suddenly, a sound resounds in my brain." Warriors, you are in a dangerous task. You will have to capture all 4 bases as soon as you can. Enemy would compete with your speed, shooting accuracy etx. Please be reminded that you will be out of it in case you die. Any team reached scores to 30 will win. 1 score for killing and 2 scores for conquering bases. Okay, then start!'

   My buddies start running to the vehicles so I just follow them onto the vehicles. According to the history, snipers were working on their own. They weren't like a group of troops. They were in single. They had to have good camouflage, good shooting accuracy and the most important thing, their minds. They had to be absolutely calm when they were down to a very bad condition like being surrounded by a group of soldiers. What was worse was that they would suffer from torment if they were captured. Luckily, I would not be captured by the others in this place.

   I have a plan. And I wait. When the vehicle is speeding through a yielded village which is a mess, I carefully landed on the ground which is cover with soft grass. It is not very painful when I was dropped down to the ground, as it is really soft and I am sliding down the slope, it reduced my speed. I looked at the yielded village joyfully, it will be the best place for me, the sniper, who want people's lives quietly.

   I swop my sniper rifle to a pistol. I walk carefully into a old, rickety house. Snipers love these places very much as it offers a broader view and in case anyone walks near the place, you can quickly hide yourself into any corner and start shooting the invader while he doesn't know where you are. It will be very fuunny and exciting if I come across this thing. After I have checked the ground floor, I walk up the creaky stairs. I try to not to make the sound but it is like too weak to support anyone. I become alerted so I take out the flashbang. When I am going to throw the flashbang, I found something was inserted into the ground. It is a clamore. There is two kinds of clamore. The first kind is a sensor clamore if it senses anyone moving, it will explode, but the force isn't stronger than the next one. Another kind is older one, it was used to crack tanks open, but now people improved it and made it smaller but still very powerful.

   I carefully jump over it as it is not the sensor one. I grip my pistol and the deathly silent has surrounded me, my hands are shaking vigrously. I don't want to die so soon after I have started the match. I jump when I reach the end of the stairs and look around me and find no one is existing on the second floor and their is no third floor. Then I noticed a body. He is lying on the ground, motionless. I walk near him and find he was shot in the chest. Blood is streaming down his jacket and he is a member of our team, a sniper. I am suddenly horrified, a person was shot dead before I come, so this place might be keeping sight. I quickly and smoothly hide behind a wall and take my helmet and wave it on the broken window. I have been waving it for 12 minutes but no one shoots it so I cautiously and slowly crawl out of the wall.

  I slowly put my sniper rifle on the window and cover it with some soot which can help the disguise. I has been waiting for my fish to go into the area where I am putting down my bait, look like safe in appearance for ten minutes. I tell myself to calm down and be patient. Patient is one of the features of a excellent sniper.

   In the two Koreas war, a chinese sniper called Zhang Tao Fang had a killing match with another skillful American sniper. Two of them had to shoulder the task to kill another sniper. Zhang had been lying in the grass for one hour long. He was sure that his deadly opponent was just opposite of him. Mosquitoes was biting him. The 'sharp' grass was tickling him.
But he had to wait, not until his opponent exposed himself first. One hour and fifteen minutes, Zhang suddenly heard the sound to slithering in the grass. It was very short but Zhang has already turned his rifle to the place where the sound was made. He looked at the grass in that area carefully and find some grass is pointing to two sides, his opponent had exposed his position. He calmed himself down and put his rifle lower and he could barely see one shimmering eye. It is enough for a sniper to kill another. So he aimed one of his eye and shot. Bloods flew from it and a sniper rifle was lying on the ground helplessly. He knew he succeeded it. He slowly crawled to the man being shot by him and confirmed that he was the man he had to kill.

   Suddenly, a vehicle's growl wakes me up from that thrilling match. A enemy vehicle is driving past me slowly as they get many shots, so weak. I quickly seize the chance and shoot. One of my cold-blood bullet soars through the thin air and the enemy soldier who is holding a heavy machine gun rolls down his seat. The driver doesn't notice his mate's death as a skillful sniper should try his best not to gain any attention. I shoot again and the bullet speeds and crash open the window, and the driver flies out from his seat and the vehicle slowed down a bit. I breathe deeply and relieved, I am now the one with highest kills in my team.

   I just wait and three fish 'swim' into my hunting area and they cannot get a chance to escape from my cold-blood bullets. They just lie there and everyone ignore them. I wait for ten minutes and find no fish in the area, so I search for the map. I am planning another place to put the bait down. Then, I see a tall mountain in the map, it will probably be another best place for me. So I go down the stairs and jump over the the clamore and stop a while at the doorway as I have to check if if it is safe to run now.

   Then, I sprint towards the mountain. When I see the earth in front of me spurt, I know I am discovered by the others. But I don't care, I have to get to the destination as soon as I can. Then I hear another vehicle growls. A tank is speeding towards me, it wants to bump me flying. I wonder why it does not shoot me with its powerful canon. It is still speeding towards me maddeningly. I know I will have no chance to escape from this disaster. I am going to exit this place. You should know that no one can run faster than a vehicle on a smooth and flat land. So I just stand there, waiting for my death. It is a sudden that I realized something is flying across the land, chasing the raging tank. Then it is a sudden the vehicle goes up and dark across the shining sun. Then it just lies there on fire. I know that someone uses his RPG to blow up this monstrous vehicle. Then I continue to run as more enemies will come after this blast.

   Finally, I reach there. I hold my pistol tightly again, as everywhere has danger lurking. Then I hear someone is shooting upside the mountain so I crouch and crawl slowly up to it. Then, I find an enemy sniper is shooting across the pile grassland. So I hold my knife and walk close to him. I am so nervous that if he turns, I am finished. Three steps, two steps and one step. He is too concentrate on his shooting and doesn't keep an eye for his surrounding and safety. So I stab him easily, so he drops his rifle and bloods are splashing out of his wound. He will not move again. So I replace his snipering
position.

   When I open my scope, I find seven of us are surrounding a village. Then I zoom closer and find some enemies hiding in properties and giving supressing fire to the ones attacking the village. As I am on a high position, so it is easy for me to shoot them dead, as the wall around them is not too high. So I take my first shot and hit a man square on his head. The fingers tightly clinging on the trigger slowly loosen. Then, his mates keep running everywhere. I can see that they are yelling something like " Sniper somewhere!!" I shoot again and the bullet soars through the air and go through his leg and he falls down. Then the others hid inside houses. Now the ones want to clear out this village can go into the village without any of them hurt. After three minutes, they have stopped firing. I see the soldier list and find a sniper still alive and I am still at the top of the team.

   I open my scope again and search for the last enemy. I would look into already-fallen properties. I know no sniper will be wondering on the street and wait for the others to kill them. They would stay in a particular place and wait for his prey. Then when I am searching for the sniper, a bullet hits me on my stomach and I am bleeding heavily. 17 HP left. I turn my rifle and see a mask, I know it is him. It will be killing match, I aim on his head and shoot but he is swift so he has shot me before I shoot him. Then I feel the pain is running through my body. I only have ten seconds left to my death, so I grab this chance to message my teamates. " Attention to area F6" Then I slowly close my eyes and I feel a strength pull me backwards. Then I am in complete darkness.

   It is a second after I know that I can open my eyes. I am sitting on a chair and wires attach to my head. I am wearing a military uniform and someone suddenly tap me on my shoulder. I turn my head and see another man wearing the same cloth but with one more star on each of his shoulder. Then he calls me " Frankie, you have completely involved in this fictitious battle. You are the best sniper we have ever seen, so I order you to go to the sniper training camp." So I salute him and said." Yes Sir."
