Kapitel 2: The Corruption

Age 1991

Father Darvin let out a sigh as his hand was placed on the wall.

"My parents?" Maudite questioned in slight shock. "Behind this wall?"

The old man simply let out another sigh as he rubbed the wall slowly. "Indeed... Or at least your father is... Your mother is most certainly dead..." The girl let out a whimper at that as she stepped back. "Killed by your father in fact?"

"What!"Maudite fell to her knees grabbing her head as she stared straight at the ground with a look of horror as Father Darvin continued telling her the horrors, of her family.

"Your father devoured her. He ripped out her throat and simply tore her into pieces as he ate her-" Father Darvin stepped away from the girl as her stomach couldn't take it and she puked. "I'm sorry. Do you not want to know about that?"

"No!"

'This man... Even when he is broken he still doesn't hesitate to break us down to build himself up?'

"Stop it!" Maudite wailed sniffling slightly. She hugged the jacket closer to her. "Hero..." She muttered out sniffling. "Please save me..."

Father Darvin merely let out a grunt. "They probably won't be coming to save you..." The Father said letting out another sigh. "This village is unfortunately doomed. If they found that cave entrance then they would have released that, creature?"

"Wh-What creature?"

"Your father..."

"B-But I thought my parents were dead?"

"Believe me Maudite... Your father is well past being dead." The man said somberly. "Like most foolish scientists, he was killed by the hands of his creation... Well... Technically he didn't invent it. He and his wife were just studying it, in an attempt to find a way to use it. That damn son of mine was to cocky for his own good. He let that creation get the better of him..."

"What creation?" Maudite asked.

"It's called the Corruption."

Meanwhile...

"What the hell is that thing!" Hero asked turning to Irene.

"That's a good question..." The girl said. "What the hell is that thing!" She asked turning to Jackson.

"That's a good question..." The Vice-Captain said. "What the hell is that thing?" He asked turning to Anga.

Only... Anga didn't seem to be listening. He had a stary eyed look in his eyes as he stared up at the creature that watched them with what looked to be curiosity. "Amazing..." He muttered out. "Twelve years in the dark, and it was able to stay alive, without food or water of any kind? Is the formula so great, as to fight back even a sure death..."

"Wait!" Cloud said turning to the man. "You knew about this!"

"Well... Yes and No? I mean I knew it was down here but I was 100% certain it was dead? The damn thing hasn't seen another living creature in like? Twelve years... You honestly can't pin this on me for being surprised that it is still somehow alive?"

"I feel like I should know what this thing is..." Jackson said taking a nervous step back. Everyone followed him as the creature continued to cock its head at them. It had a glowing blue aura around its body that seemed to only get bigger.

"Oh, that's because you definitely know what this thing is," James said suddenly. "It's the Corruption!"

"Fucking what now!" Jackson said alarmed. "And you assholes knew! I swear to God, now I got to take you all in!"

"Seriously James?" Yang said glaring at the man. "Just go right out and tell him?"

"Damn it, James..." Seth said sighing.

"Hey fuck you guys!"

"Just like every other Sturmcrow, it would seem you are incompetent..." Zero said shaking his head.

"...So..." Hero said a bit awkwardly as glowing around the creature got even brighter. "What is the Corruption-"

"A dangerous sociopathic monster virus!" Jackson yelled out.

"Wrong!" Anga said crossing his arms. "I mean just look at the creature. It's just curiously staring at all of us?"

The creature slowly straightened its head up as its orange eyes wouldn't leave them.

"No!" Kitsune said shaking his head violently. "Screw that! This thing is stupidly dangerous! Kill it! Kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it!"

"Yep!" Jackson said ripping his sword forward as he pointed it at the thing. "We are definitely killing it-"

"Kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it!"

"No!" Anga yelled out stepping in front of the sword. "Absolutely not-"

"Kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it!"

"Anga..." Zero said slowly as he unsheathed his longsword. "You said we wouldn't need any living creature at all... Just the formula..."

"Kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it!"

"That was before I found out it was alive?!" Anga shouted.

"Umm guys..." Hero said as he watched the glowing get even brighter.

"Kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it!"

"Anga!" Zero said with some force. "Move out of the way. This thing is clearly a failed experiment who lost their mind... Besides. Whatever part of it that was human likely doesn't exist anymore after twelve years of isolation."

"Kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it!"

"Oh my God everyone shut up and look at the monster!" Hero yelled out slamming his hands together and sending a shock wave out as everyone turned towards him.

"Big Brother the monster seems like it is going to attack-"

The monsters glowed so brightly now that it was actually hard to look at! Then slowly its massive mouth actually pulled open... And all that could be seen was a small blue glowing ball...

"What the hell is-"

"Get down!" Jackson screamed.

Everyone jumped to the floor as a giant beam of pure death and destruction fired straight out of the monster's mouth! The heat coming off of it was so intense that it was like being next to a roaring flame! The beam hit the back wall and exploded into a hail of melted stone as so much pressure was kicked up that several of the pillars exploded from the sheer force and the entire cave, as in the entire cave, not just the room they were in, but the entire cave, quite literally shook! The stone around the walls became red hot and actually began to melt as the entire room itself was lit up by a blue glow effect from the beam. The beam was too bright to look at to the point that even after everyone closed their eyes and placed their hands over their eyes they could still see it. Finally, after what felt like an eternity but was actually 0.01 seconds, the beam suddenly faded away.

"Okay kill it!" Anga shouted! "Screw it! Kill it!"

The monster opened its mouth as it let out a tremendous roar so loud the room shook once more!

And with that, all hell broke loose as the fighting began...
